The Story Behind the Paradox

I’m Cathy—a Gemini sun with a Scorpio rising and a Libra moon, if you’re asking. But more than that, I’m a woman in motion: a licensed dental hygienist by day, a reflective writer by night, a grieving mother to a beloved beagle, a romantic with trust issues, and a soft-hearted baddie craving peace, purpose, and a cozy place to land.

I’ve spent over a decade in dentistry, helping people feel safe in a chair most fear. Hygiene is my grounding force—where structure meets softness, and precision meets presence. But even with a scaler in my hand, I’ve always known there’s more to me than what shows behind the mask.

Over time, especially after loss, I began listening more deeply to my body—learning how stress, trauma, inflammation, and hormone shifts were showing up in ways I couldn’t ignore. My wellness journey isn’t polished. It’s patchy, personal, and deeply intuitive. From gut healing to grief work, I’ve started honoring the quiet signals and soft power within.

The Gemini Paradox is where I write the things I can’t always say out loud. It’s where I process, heal, spiral, rebuild, contradict myself, and maybe—eventually—come home to wholeness. It’s messy and magic. Just like me.

If you’re here, maybe you’re a little too much, too. And not enough, somehow. That’s okay.

This space is for us—the seekers, the feelers, the ones healing in the in-between.
And Bryan’s spirit is here too, watching over it all.

You’re in really good company.

Bryan’s off-duty. You should be too.
