The Wild Alchemist

Last night, my little Keira dog was out back absolutely losing her mind: barking like a psycho, practically choking between breaths. I figured I'd go check it out before the neighbors (the trees, lol) filed a complaint. 🐕😂

I live at the end of a dirt road where my property backs up to hundreds of miles of national forest, so wildlife visitors aren't unusual. I often have guests in the form of raccoons, skunks, coyotes, the usual suspects, you know?.🦝🦨🐺

But last night? Last night was special! ✨

As I shined my flashlight into the field behind my gate, I gasped! Dozens of tiny points of light weaving and bobbing in the darkness. 🔦 It took my eyes a second to catch up with my brain: they were eyes! Attached to bodies! And those bodies were a whole ass herd of elk. 🫎✨

This isn't the first time the elk have paid me a visit, but it's not a common occurence. If you've never stood 30 feet from a herd of elk in the dead of night...man, I don't have the words. Breathtaking doesn't quite cover it. 🌙💫

It hit me in that moment: what an absolute gift it is to have this kind of life, literally right outside my door. The high desert of Northern Arizona is something else, indeed. Clean air, the most gorgeous blue skies I've ever seen, and stars so blindingly bright you can even catch them in these dark, blurry phone shots taken by a woman in her pajamas at midnight. 😂⭐

My life isn't fancy. But! I get to let my dogs run free. I get to walk out my door and disappear into the woods whenever I need to. And I get to be visited by elk in the quiet, dark moments of the night 🥰 I am truly so blessed. ✨🙏

And it got me thinking — how often do we rush past the good stuff? 🤔 The quiet moments, the unexpected gifts, the things that don't cost a dime but fill you all the way up? This midnight herd of elk gave me the chance to take pause, really consider these blessings of nature. In doing so I couldn't help but overflow with gratitude. 💛

So I want to ask YOU — what's the beautiful, ordinary, easy-to-overlook thing in your life right now that's actually kind of extraordinary? What's one thing you'd miss like crazy if it were gone tomorrow? What moment recently made you stop and think ...wait, my life is actually pretty amazing?

Drop it below — I genuinely want to know. Let's remind each other how good we've actually got it! 💫💜💫

The other day, I was really in the thick of it....

I was battling the doldrums, the defeat, the negative self-talk, and that sudden drop in motivation. I was drowning in my very own special flavor of self-sabotage: 'procrastinate and doom scroll.' (I’m not the only one, right? 😆)

As I sat there, realizing I had been fighting this for hours, it finally dawned on me:

I am a Ho'oponopono facilitator! 🌺

I teach radical forgiveness and personal responsibility, and it was time to turn that medicine inward. I stopped the war and took a different kind of responsibility.

I looked at that self-sabotaging energy and said:

I’m sorry for allowing this backpeddle on your motivation.

I’m sorry that your life has been such that it feels natural to want to 'protect' me by staying small.

Please forgive me for not upholding my values earlier in life.

Thank you for wanting to protect me... but I need you no longer. 💜

I breathed love into that dark, self-sabotaging energy and sent it back to the light to be healed and transmuted.

And today???

THIS GIRL IS ON FIRRRREEEEE!! 🎵🎶🔥💥

My brain has been spinning with inspiration all damn day.

And that’s the power of Alchemizing your own shadows!

The moment you stop fighting yourself is the moment you start leading yourself.

I want to know: What 'old' energy are you ready to stop fighting and start transmuting today?

Drop a '✨' below if you’re ready to send that self-sabotage back to the light!

All the love, you wild souls!! 💫💜💫

Ever notice how irritation sneaks in and suddenly everyone on the road is personally offensive for simply existing?
That’s not “just your personality.”
That’s emotional reactivity doing what it does best, running on autopilot.
Most of us were conditioned early to think agitation, impatience, snapping, simmering annoyance… that’s just who we are. So we stop questioning it. We defend it. We even bond over it.
But here’s the thing: reactivity isn’t identity.
It’s a pattern.
And patterns can be worked with.
You don’t have to become zen.
You don’t have to bypass your feelings.
You do get to stop letting your nervous system drive the car.
If this feels familiar, pay attention. That’s the doorway.

💥 600 days sober today 💥

600 days ago, I was in the hospital with pancreatitis. Sick, hurting, on an IV, after trying to drink myself through the aftermath of being r***d. I was hurting in a way that I didn't know how to carry, and alcohol was the only way to quiet it.

600 days ago,
I didn’t make a dramatic declaration.
It wasn't some grandiose vow.
I just quietly decided I didn’t actually want to die.

Since then, it’s been 600 days of choosing myself — in tiny, stubborn, beautiful ways.
Little steps. Big steps.
Facing life with a clear head and an open (still healing) heart.

Today, I’m here for those walking their first days, those deep in the middle and tired of it, those restarting again and again,
and those who don’t see a way forward yet.

You are not alone.
You are not broken.
And your fire doesn’t have to be the end of you.

It might be the place you’re forged.

If you need someone who understands, I’m here.
One moment, one choice, one breath at a time. 💜🔥

I rose from my darkness so that I can walk with you through yours. Through energy healing, mindset recalibration, and nervous system support, I help others walk out of the pain and into their power.

DM if you're ready to start choosing you 💫💜💫

The holidays are fast approaching, and along with them come all that talk about gratitude.

If we’re being real though… sometimes gratitude feels pretty far away. Life gets loud, hearts get tired, and the beautiful little things can get swallowed up by the hard moments.

A few weeks ago, I had one of those moments. It was a full day actually, and it cracked me open in a way I didn’t expect.

It's a story about chickens, raccoons, friendship, and learning how to let people love me when I needed it most.

It turned into one of the biggest lessons of my year 💜

The new website is UP and I’m kind of losing my mind about it!

This has been a whole process, squeezing it in between work, clients, life plot-twists, and crazy pet drama. BUT IT'S DONE!! 💥

I’m incredibly proud of how this turned out… and slightly terrified to show the world 😆

Take a peek, sign up for the newsletter, and follow along for the good stuff: heart, honesty, and big energy shifts.

I've been super quiet in the social front, but big big things are happening and I can't wait to share the awesomeness!! 💫💫💫💫

Wanted to pop in and let y'all know I'm still alive 😆

Here's a little photo dump for you to enjoy. October was an incredible month!

💥You know what used to send my inner gremlin into a full-blown hissy fit? 🧟‍♀️ Grocery. Store. Lines.

😤 I’d be standing there, basket loaded, huffing and puffing like a feral tea kettle, while the person ahead of me counted out loose change from the depths of a Mary Poppins bag. Or the checker would strike up endless conversation. Or someone would price-check a single banana. Every. Time.

👹 The chest tightens, the energy spikes, and suddenly I’m radiating heat like an unattended campfire, and everyone can feel it lol.

🌬️These days, I’ve learned a little alchemy trick. I pause. Breathe. Let my energy settle. Then I start tuning into the people around me: their faces, their energy, the invisible stories they carry in thier eyes and thier carts. And something shifts. That anxious static softens into this warm, expansive little compassion bubble 🫧 Sometimes, the vibe even spills over into sweet conversations with strangers (which, if you know me, is wild 😆).

💚 It’s funny how a tiny inner recalibration can transform “line purgatory” into a mini energetic field trip.

✨ How are you alchemizing your inner world today?

☔ Rainy days = cosmic permission slip to do absolutely nothing productive.
Seriously. The sky’s like, “Yo, let's chill.”

Here’s the vibe:
🧦 Cozy socks, warm drinks, zero guilt
🛁 Baths so long you forget what day it is
📖 That book you've been itchin' to dive into
🧘‍♀️ Stretching, journaling, or just staring out the window like a dramatic main character
💤 Naps so good they should be illegal
💥 Or maybe you're on fire and rainy adventures are for you! (Like Moses here, with his never ending excitement for being outdoors 😆)

My personal fave form of rainy-day self care?
✨ Reiki ✨
There's nothing like kickin back and letting the energy flow. Giving me that relaxation and energetic refresh that keeps me going day to day 💫💚💫

Drop in the comments your favorite way to spend your rainy days! 👇
