…waiting on you to love yourself

So much of my self-love journey is about fully accepting myself, exactly as I am. Recently, I posted a series of content that made one thing clear: my inner critic is dead.

Here’s how you can silence your inner critic, too.

Make something—and whether it’s good or bad, weird or imperfect, share it.

Keep doing this until you discover the kind of work you enjoy making, the kind others resonate with, too.

Don’t worry about the end result.

Focus on the joy of creating. The beauty of the process.

And release any resistance around sharing the most authentic version of yourself.

here’s why I love halloween

Halloween is a beautiful reminder that we’re all capable of reinvention. It invites us to step outside our everyday norms and become whoever—or whatever—we’ve dreamed up. It’s a celebration of imagination, a night when creativity truly takes the spotlight.

As for me, I’m planning to be a fashion-forward version of Gerald from Hey Arnold!…assuming I can pull the fit together in time.

reminder: you have permission to change

Good morning sunshine,

You might not hear this enough, but you’re free to change, anytime you want.

Just because you were one way yesterday doesn’t mean you’ve gotta stay that way today.

Life is a playground, and you’re allowed to try new things, to start fresh, to be bold, to go after dreams you maybe didn’t feel ready for until now.

Here’s the thing: the world has all these quiet rules about what you should do and who you should be, but guess what? You get to decide.

And if there’s a spark in you, a whisper of something new or a different path calling your name, listen to it. It’s worth exploring.

your feelings are valid

Your emotions? They’re a compass.

Don’t run from them.
Feel them, study them, let them lead you to your truth.
But remember, even feelings fade.

They’re just your instincts reacting to the world around you.

So name what you feel.
Spot the trigger.
And pause to reflect before taking action.
