hey, bourbon pecan maple syrup. it’s been so fun sharing my card coaching technique through these quickie co=created tarot readings i’ve been doing at various pop-up events in the community lately not everyone wants to be photographed afterwards, or their pic shared on socials + whatnot. but at the full moon night market earlier this month, most folks said a resounding YES (or at least a SURE, WHY NOT?) when i asked them… which inspired me to put together a very amateur little video that i...

hey, toast point. yesterday i shared an inside peek into the way mild social anxiety has inspired some powerful practices for me in both my biz + personal life i call them presence practices, and they’re my number one secret to a more joy-filled, satisfying life — even when times are tough at their core, presence practices are things i do regularly to stay grounded in the world around me, and connected to what i love most about life + myself now, it’s crucial that we each define what’s...

hey, lemon linguine. i LOVE to grab a cute beer, by myself, and enjoy some great live music the “by myself” part started because i live with mild social anxiety, and sometimes making plans puts on pressure that stresses me out i can get in my head about things + start to dread going — which only gets stronger when i start thinking about the people i’ll let down by changing my mind this doesn’t happen every time, and it’s not always very strong but since i never know when it might, i’m very...

hey, grape pop. for the longest time i said i didnt know what i wanted in a relationship, but i think it was more that i didn’t wanna get stuck in a shitty version of what i wanted so i chose not to name it at all that way i didn’t have to say to anyone: “yeah, but not with you” well, the other day that’s exactly what happened. and it SUCKED i get why i’ve avoided it for so long lol because the guy? he’s a great guy. he’s kind. we have chemistry in several ways he COULD be my guy, but in a...
