Hiii it’s me 👧🏼 and Desi 🐶
It’s been a long time since I’ve shared anything deeply personal with you guys, and I feel like it’s time to start showing up in a more real way again.
I’ve been showing up on social media for almost 10 years now—which is WILD to think about. In the early days, I was hustling non-stop in my business, working literally around the clock, and sharing my life like an open book. But if I’m honest, I mostly showed the good stuff.
The truth is, over the past 6 years, I’ve walked through several intense and deeply personal experiences—things I’ve kept close to my heart and only shared with my closest friends and family. I stayed quiet about the hard stuff because, at my core, I want to be a source of light and positivity in this world. And for a long time, I thought that meant only sharing the highlight reel.
But I know that real connection happens when we share the whole story—not just the shiny parts.
I’m not here to trauma dump or unload every detail, but I do want to start showing up as a whole, imperfect human—someone you can actually relate to, not just a polished highlight reel. My hope is that by sharing more of the real and raw moments alongside the joyful ones, we can connect in a deeper, more authentic way.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the moments we label as sad, intense, or “negative” can actually hold a deep kind of beauty. As hard and heartbreaking as they can be, I’ve worked hard to cherish those seasons just as much as the good ones—because they’ve shaped me, stretched me, and reminded me of what truly matters.

I grabbed a blanket, sat in the grass, put on my headphones, Desi laid by my side, and I just cried. I was allowing myself to feel so much heartbreak that I’ve been hanging on to. But at the same time as I’m sitting in this moment on top of the mountains, watching the sunset, the breeze softly touching the grass around me, it was a heart opening moment where I felt so much peace and gratitude for the life I get to live.
So here’s to showing up for you guys a little more real 🫶🏼🥲
