Harry Potter Reflections: Rereading With a Different Lens | Intro

Harry Potter Reflections: Rereading With a Different Lens | Intro

While rereading the Harry Potter series as an adult, I found myself noticing very different things than I did when I first read the books years ago. What once felt like a story about magic and adventure now feels equally like a story about loneliness, belonging, friendship, emotional safety, grief, comfort, and the quiet human need to feel wanted. This episode introduces the Harry Potter Reflections series, a collection of reflections that emerged naturally while revisiting the books at a different stage of life. Some conversations will be shared publicly, while some slower and more layered reflections are available separately. I’m still midway through the series, so these reflections will continue to evolve as I keep reading.

My First Reflection Journal (Now Free)

Last year, in July 2025, I created my first reflection journal. Recently, I reread it and found myself meeting a version of me from a different season of life. Some parts still felt familiar. Other parts reminded me how much can change in just one year. I've decided to make the journal free and share it with anyone who might find comfort, reflection, or simply a quiet page to sit with. Inside you'll find reflection letters, gentle prompts, and information about my private reflection letters and voice note reflections.

You Edit Yourself Without Realizing It

A quiet reflection on how we adjust ourselves around people, and what that does to how we feel inside.

Finding What Was Never Missing

A reflection on feeling lost, escaping yourself, and slowly realizing that some parts of you were already there all along.

What Stopped Feeling Real: Leaving To Find Peace Didn’t Work

I used to think peace was somewhere else. A different place, a different environment, a different life. This episode is part of the premium audio reflection series: What Stopped Feeling Real (A Lived Deconstruction of Spirituality) reflects on what changed when the same place that once hurt me slowly stopped affecting me the same way anymore.
