On our very first date, he asked me “do you want to quit your job, become a digital nomad, and travel the world with me?.” Zero hesitation. I said yes. 

He said “I’m serious.” I said “so am I.” 

He never asked me to change my life. He just lived his so freely that I couldn’t imagine not doing the same.

Was I sure? Yes. Was there still uncertainty? Absolutely. I jumped anyway. Because sometimes your gut knows before your brain catches up.

3 months later, I donated half of my belongings, packed up two suitcases and here we are. Side by side wherever that happens to be, happier than I’ve ever been.

Scared and certain can exist at the same time. Jump anyway. I promise you that the life you actually want is on the other side of fear.

The earth opened up and I stepped in 🩵

And for a moment, everything went still.

I’ve been learning that stillness isn’t empty. It’s where the real answers live. The ones your intuition has been whispering the whole time, if you get quiet enough to hear them. Grounding yourself. Coming back to your body. Letting your soul actually lead instead of letting the outside world decide for you. 

This is what living in alignment feels like to me. Presence. 

This cenote reminded me of that 🧘🏻‍♀️

Not really one to post about this stuff but here we are! 

100 days ago I started Dry January for literally no deep reason other than to complete a challenge. And now somehow it’s April and I haven’t had a drink since.

If you know me, you know this is kind of shocking. I wasn’t an every-weekend drinker…but when I did drink, I DRANK. And as someone who’s equally obsessed with her health and longevity…the two just weren’t adding up anymore.

I’m not saying I’ll never drink again. But if and when I do, it’ll look a lot different. More balance, more intention, and less chaos. Because I finally know what it feels like to be on the other side of it, and I’m not willing to give that up.

And a huge shoutout to @eric_mcavoy_ - watching you move through life the way you do genuinely changed something in me. Thank you for inspiring me, pushing me, and helping me grow into the best version of myself. 🤍

Honestly? I’m sharing this because I’m proud of myself. I don’t think I’ve gone this long without drinking since I started in my teens…so this actually means a lot. Here’s to 2026 being the year of really going ALL in on my goals. I’m only getting started 🦋

Regulated. Grounded. Held. That’s what loving you feels like. In your arms, my CNS finally exhales.

Thank you for being my peace and my forever home ❤️ I love you endlessly.

Happy Valentine’s 💌 xoxo

In honor of my birthday, here are 24 little lessons I’ve learned over the years if you care to read them 🤗

1. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if you’re missing a tooth. The right people will love you for who you are 😂❤️ 

2. Make yourself as uncomfortable as you can daily. This is where you grow.

3. Learn to love and embrace change - it’s inevitable.

4. Let go - of limiting beliefs, toxic people, excessive material things, anger, etc. 

5. Invest in your health & what you consume!!! Move and nourish your body daily.

6. Prioritize sleep & deep healing.

7. Surround yourself with people who inspire you to be & do better. 

8. Practice becoming an excellent & empathetic communicator. This will improve all of your relationships. 

9. Never stop being silly & playing like a child!

10. Be spontaneous!!! Adventure. Take that job. Move to another country. Say yes!

11. Spend more time in the sun & in nature.

12. Smile and laugh as much as possible - it’s contagious!!! (And fun)

13. Forgive - holding on to hatred only hurts you. 

14. Fall in love with the journey, not the destination. 

15. Spread more love & less judgement! We’re all just trying to figure it out. 

16. Complain less; Practice intentional gratitude. 

17. Spend more quality time with yourself & limit your screen time. 

18. Learn to laugh at yourself…and nothing can bring you down.

19. Speak kindly to yourself and others.

20. Tell the people close to you how much you love them ALL THE TIME!

21. Breathe. It’s more powerful than you think. 

22. Don’t chase external happiness - you’ll forever be seeking things that can only be found within.

23. Find your balance - perfection doesn’t exist. 

24. HAVE SOME FUN & dance weird!!! We’re all specs on a floating rock anyway 🫶🏻
