Amariliz
Hi, I’m Amariliz Gonzalez, a writer, creator, and adventurer with a passion for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. For years, I dreamed of sharing tools that have helped me in my journey through writing, and now, I’ve finally created this space to do just that.
Life has taken me through challenges that shaped me into who I am today, and through it all, I’ve learned the power of mindfulness, resilience, and stepping out of my comfort zone. Whether it’s through my blog, or my self-published journal Magia Blanca and The Magic Within Manifestation Journal, my goal is to inspire others to embrace their own journey—healing, growing, and finding the magic within themselves.
Beyond writing, I find joy in adventure and pushing boundaries, whether it’s kiteboarding, rock climbing, or sailing. I also have a deep connection to energy work as a Reiki master, which I incorporate into my content and creative work.
Here, you’ll find stories, reflections, and tools to help you navigate your own path. I believe we all have an inner light waiting to shine, and I’m here to share in hopes that what I create helps you along the way.
Thank you for being here. Let’s grow and create magic together!

When You Realize You’re Healing

Learning From the Darkness

Learning to Be Open Again
When Protection Becomes a Wall For the longest time, I thought I was protecting my heart. After all, when someone breaks your trust, it changes you. Betrayal hurts, and for me, what lingered even longer was the willingness to open…
Eudaimonia: Finding My Way Back to Myself
A Nice Reminder Recently, I was scrolling through Instagram when I came across a post by Karol G with the word eudaimonia. It translates to: A happiness that comes from living with purpose, overcoming adversity, and flourishing as a person.…
The Narrative We Tell Ourselves
For the past few months, I got out of my healthy routines and found myself slipping back into old unhealthy habits again. I felt stuck in this loop.And honestly, the narrative I kept feeding myself became negative. Even though some…
Healing Is Learning Not to Leave Yourself Behind
There comes a moment in healing where you realize something uncomfortable, but incredibly freeing: Sometimes the abandonment we feel the deepest is not always from others. Sometimes… it’s from ourselves. The Search Outside of Ourselves I think many of us…
Learning to Let Go Without Closing My Heart
For a long time, I believed that if something—or someone—came into my life, it meant I was supposed to hold on to it. I’ve always felt deeply.I’ve always loved deeply.And because of that, I didn’t always know the difference between…
Living with PMDD: My Healing Journey and How I Choose Myself
