A few years ago I interviewed a Feng Shui Practitioner on my podcast, and one of the things she said that stuck with me is that our homes are living, breathing vision boards for our lives. From the art we put on the walls, to what we do - or do not - make room for in our homes. It all communicates how we feel about ourselves and what we believe we are worthy of.
Three months into starting over on YouTube, I’ve learned that the secret to beating creative burnout isn’t trying harder - it’s giving yourself permission to play, accept help, and fail brilliantly. Here are 5 things I’ve embraced along the way...
There is so much pressure, especially in the early days of pregnancy, to curate a nursery that looks like it was pulled from the pages of a magazine. But in the quiet moments spent painting and thrifting for this little one, I’ve been reminded of a different truth: babies don’t need a huge, expensive transformation. What they truly need—and what makes a house feel like a home—is a space that feels safe, intentional, and filled with love.
Four months ago, we welcomed our second little boy — a spring-time baby with the sweetest smile. My first postpartum experience was incredibly challenging, and this time around, I was determined to have a better journey. While I’m still in the early days of being a mom to two, I’m already noticing how different this postpartum period feels, and I wanted to share some of the things I’m doing to better navigate this new phase in our life.
This year, the usual hustle-and-grind approach to goal-setting felt completely out of reach. But I've realized something important —vision boards (and life) don't have to be high-pressure. Creativity and change can happen in small, gentle steps. In this post, I’m sharing a low-pressure approach to vision boarding, perfect for those moments when inspiration feels distant but alignment still calls.
When you get guidance from the universe, do you trust it? When repeating numbers and other coincidences show up, do you know how to decipher and act on what they are telling you? In this blog post, I’m talking about the six unexpected ways we communicate with our higher selves and intuitively receive our next steps. Some people call these signs from the universe.
If you’re new to this work, the mother wound is the collection of harmful beliefs passed down through the maternal lines that keep women small — and because of that trapped into cycles of martyrdom, self-sabotage, and feeling shame and guilt for wanting more.
In Gemini season I wrote was about finding expanders. In Cancer season it was about the mother wound. And now in Leo season I feel pulled to write about self-worth, a topic coming up for me a lot lately as I’ve been preparing my nervous system for the Empaths in Business rebrand happening this fall — a shift that’s seeing me through many moments of doubt and old patterns of self-sabotage.
If you’re on Instagram, or part of personal development circles, you’ve probably heard about the ‘need to show up’ and if you’ve been following my work, you’ve probably heard me speak those words as well.
Because you do.
Earth is undergoing a major shift and it is our gifts and abilities that are creating the new systems we’ll live in. Systems and ways of being that can’t be birthed if we don’t first share our authentic selves with this world.
But as motivating as ‘showing up’ and ‘the world needs what you’ve got!’ can sound, speaking up and being who we really are isn’t always easy for healers and creatives because for centuries, “being ourselves” was not safe. For centuries, being ourselves meant burnt at the stake. (Witch trials.) And though this memory is unconscious, it keeps so many of us from leaving the spiritual closet and sharing ourselves. We want to follow our path and we want to share our work with those we are here to help but we feel held back because part of us remembers the last time we did and that part has vowed to never again feel what she felt the day she was killed off.
This fear is known as the persecution wound and it’s a wound that sits in our collective bones (and more specifically, the throat chakra of us as individuals) and because I’ve had to face and re-face it with my work, I wanted to write a post outlining the signs you might carry it too. Because your work to show up might require a bit more than a few motivational quotes, and if it does, I want you to know you aren’t alone in what you’re experiencing or going through.
I'm not shy about saying I came here with something important to do. I've known it since I can remember. A feeling in my bones that I couldn't verbalize. I didn't know what it was, I just knew I was made for something specific and that I was on a timeline. In fact — this knowing is what initially brought me into the world of energy. The very first intuitive I ever met looked me in the eyes and said, "you know you came into this lifetime with work to do, you knew they needed help down here and you agreed to come back" and it brought chills because I DID know and it was the first time I felt safe acknowledging my inner call rather than pushing it aside in fear of my ego.
I've wanted to start a blog for YEARS. The idea first popped up in grade 10 and again during my first undergraduate degree. I finally dabbled in blogging in 2015, but the timing wasn't right and I pushed the idea away for a bit. After graduating social work this past May the idea to start a blog become less of a want and more of a need. I had no idea why the drive was so strong, but it was, and I finally decided to listen to my intuition and jump two feet into the blogging world.

It’s been years now. Years of not feeling like myself. Years of doubting my decisions and what I want to create + put out. Taking one step and then losing my sense of momentum. Having a morning of inspiration and feeling flat again by the afternoon. Writing helps, but I haven’t been doing it.
