hey, cardamom pod. if you know + love me (or want to know me better), i invite you to carve out a little time to bounce around my website — a true labor of love + delight + passion-powered fury that’s recently been updated + upgraded i’m not gonna lie… it’s a lot i’m a lot i laugh so loudly that i sometimes get dirty looks in bougie dining spaces, and zoom often asks me if i’d like to unmute because no one makes that much noise not on purpose — and i have for so long that i got cast as the...

hey, cherry pit. what’s your built-in body cue to slow down or do something different? and more importantly… are you listening to it? it’s been over 7 months since i suddenly developed bell’s palsy last december, and its visible effects have been more or less gone for idk, maybe 4 or 5 months now (fun fact: my left eye has always been a little smaller than my right one + could appear a bit droopy in comparison BEFORE bells ever did it’s thing on me) anyway, even after my face went back to...

hey, banana candy. sometimes the action is nothing more than acknowledgement i’ve had that sentence written in my phone for the past few weeks — from something i said on one of my inner sanctum community calls, that i wanted to share with you because sometimes the next best step isn’t a step at all and sometimes the doing isn’t easy to see, doesn’t lend itself to satisfying checks marked off a list sometimes it’s to pause, face, absorb, accept to exist with to allow to season + spice a...

hey, almond joy. so first of all, i can’t stop laughing at how bad i’m dating myself with the subject line — let me know if you get it lol but seriously… sometimes self-trust looks like staying on hold for 25 freaking minutes — even though you’re up against a deadline + could use every last minute you’ve got to meet it but this thiiiing has been hanging over your head for mooooonths which might make you wonder if one more day would really be the end of the world but all of a sudden, you just...

hey, strawberry sorbet. one of my newest passions is collaborating with brilliant makers + masters of their craft to create products that support that intuition-driven, thriveandbloom life because what i lack in artistic skill i make up for in desire, ideas + enthusiasm :) and my very first collab, fittingly, is with annya white-brown + naturalannie essentials (where i’ve been leading candle classes for the past year-plus!) i dreamt up the scent combos + team NAE whipped up the candles for...

hey, lotus root. i seem to be in a season of transition when it comes to the relationships in my life some are deepening, others are dislodging + releasing some are being nurtured in word + action, others are wilting from lack of mutual attention newer seeds are sprouting, some older leaves have deadened + dropped, other old shoots have taken new root i’ve often been the one to nurture my relationships when life got busy — to check in, to make the date, to circle back, to be there i never...

hey, lemongrass stalk. want a simple way to start claiming joy like it’s your job — EVEN WHEN it feels like the world is falling down around you? try a presence pause literally, wherever you are — take a moment to look around you + tune in to what’s there notice the way the shadows of those tree branches dance on the ground when the breeze blows as you run that errand look at the pretty mug on your desk as you work, hear the gentle laughter of children playing outside your window when you’re...

hey, cracklin' oat. one surefire way to stop feeling like life is passing you by is to go ahead + meet me in the middle today is the last day of the first half of the year! we’re in the middle, and it’s a great time to pause, take stock, and slow the roller coaster down for a bit to reflect without intentionally taking space to ground into a moment + look back at how far you’ve come, it’s wayyyyyyy too easy to get unmoored from what’s important to you, caught up in other people’s drama, and...

hey, butterscotch pop. yesterday i planned on doing a side job, but felt called to something else instead intuitive cues came by way of a shifted weather forecast + a sense of what i felt more lit up to do instead and listen — sometimes there are absolutely things we must do at certain times. intuition-driven decisionmaking isn’t about avoiding those it’s about, when there’s room (and when you can make room), allowing yourself to stop fighting your longings + start following them confidently...
