Welcome to GENTLE WITHIN — a space created for late bloomers, overachievers, and deep feelers who are learning to release perfectionism, heal from burnout, and rebuild from performance-driven self-worth.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “behind” in life, you’re not alone.
But you’re also not behind. You’re becoming.
I’m Avah (pronounced ‘Ay-vah’) — the voice and heart behind GENTLE WITHIN. After years of measuring my worth by how much I accomplished, how I performed, or how busy I stayed, I found myself deeply burned out. But in that burnout, God whispered something radically different: Grace is not earned. Healing is not rushed. Growth is not a race.
Rooted in my faith and anchored in Jesus’ invitation — “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29 NIV) — GENTLE WITHIN was born as a safe space to slow down, reflect, and heal at the pace grace allows.
Each blog post, vlog, or podcast episode offers gentle reflections, honest conversations, and biblical encouragement to help you release self-criticism and experience sustainable healing — not through hustle, but through surrender.
Here, we honor the process.
We celebrate slow, quiet, faithful growth.
We believe gentleness is not weakness, but Spirit-led strength held with care.
Wherever you are in your journey, you are welcome here.
Let grace lead the gentle within.
