The Final F*ck U of 2022?!
Happy New Years Eve to you! I'm curious how you're feeling the day before we usher in a whole new year? As I survey myself on NYE 2022, I’m reminded of three emotional states/modes I’ve tended to be in on any given NYE. #1: Party Mode #2: Reflection/Gratitude Mode #3: F*ck It Mode 1. Party Mode: This the mode I recall before I started my recovery, healing and embodiment journey. My primary goals on NYE in this mode was to get as decked out as possible, take as many pict

2022, you kinda sucked
Towards the end of 2021, I started visioning out 2022... I had such wonderful plans. I had such lofty goals. The Truth? 2022 was a bust for me (at least when it came to my plans). After Christmas 2021 was basically canceled for me due to Covid, I proceeded (though I didn’t realize it at the time) to go way into hiding as I faced emotional struggle, after emotional struggle… after emotional struggle. And I struggled in just about all areas of my life: my relationship, m

My awkward Valentine's Day
Here's a selfie I took last night and send to some girlfriends before I went downstairs to head out to a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with my partner. After coming off a week of energy expansion with Emotional Mastery I was really looking forward to some quiet intimacy time with my partner. Where we live this time of year seasonal allergies can be a killer and my partner's been struggling with his. When I went downstairs my partner was trying to find his wallet and looki

You're "The One" You're Looking For
I'm coming back online from a weekend trip to San Francisco spending time with my partner's family. I didn't expect it, but in addition to the nourishment I got spending time with family, I also had some powerful experiences walking around downtown SF taking in the energy of the city. I had a few nostalgic flashbacks to my times living in big cities. You might now know this but I've also lived in Boston, New York City and Austin, TX so there is a certain frequency that gets

A Vulnerable Reveal
I've been having "writer's block" for about 3 months now despite posting on here pretty consistently. It's been easy to put on my teacher hat and post carousels for you and share all my knowledge about emotional growth and building healthy relationships. It's been heart opening to allow you to feel my care for you as I impart my knowledge. The genuine appreciate I get back from you is seen and deeply felt. It's also been easy to put on my entertainer hat and post reels for yo

Why I Make Funny Reels About Serious Stuff
I’ve been getting more and more into Reels as my primary type of content here and it’s been so fun. You may have noticed that most of my reels are for laughs. I know this because I’m usually laughing as I’m recording them or seeing tons of laugh cry emojis in the comments. There are also many of you who are confronted and sometimes pained by the truth delivered in my reels about emotional growth, dating and relationships. I know this because I get DMs, sad face emojis and que

Kids or Just Us?
We've been in a beautiful inquiry on whether or not we want to have kids. It’s been a gentle, intimate and emotionally sober conversation for about a month. We're both committed to growth and healing together and committed to the relationship. We have done so much work together. Like SO much. This inquiry is multi-layered for me. Here are some of the layers: I’m considering this later in life. I’m 39 with an auto-immune disorder that has been in remission for many years but g

Evolution
Today I want to share a part of my evolution with you. I took this photo this weekend on the porch of my new home in Northern California. I look around at my surrounding and I see trees everywhere. I close my eyes and I hear nothing. No car horns. No dogs barking. No construction. I breathe in clear fresh crisp air that has the faint smell of chimney smoke. I've been sleeping through the night and waking up a little lighter each morning. I consider myself a city girl. I've li
