No one talks about what it actually costs.

An ex-fiancé who promised he would guide me and support me through this journey… left when it was convenient for him. When his family said I was doing devil’s work. That I was bringing bad luck. That I was using him.

Friends of over 10 years, the ones I trusted, when I asked what I should do next to improve my quality of life… told me a holistic approach wouldn’t bring money in. As if money was the point. I didn’t even give a s**t about that. I just wanted to feel better. I just wanted to live better.

When I confided in my parents, they shamed me. Silenced me. Told me I was chasing something that wasn’t meant for me. That I wasn’t somebody who was supposed to walk this path. That it was all a scam.

I watched the people I loved and valued the most not support me one bit.

Walking this path isn’t something I glamorized. It isn’t something I woke up and decided would be cute or trendy. Even now, I don’t wake up thinking, “I want to carry this.” I wake up wanting to do whatever it takes to get by. To have a better quality of life. To feel alive again. To feel joy. To feel human.

This path is not aesthetic.
It is paralyzing pain.
It is fear.
It is doubt.
It is losing people you thought would stay.
It is being misunderstood by the ones closest to you.

Until it happens to you… until you are forced to embark on it… may you stay filled with joy and never have to know what it takes to get here.

So go ahead and mock it.
Belittle it.
Not understand it.
The universe has a way of humbling everyone in its own time.
But this?
This is just me speaking from my pain.

Most people see my joy.
They see the light.
They see the smile.
They don’t see the depth it took to get here.

Thank you ZooHlub for speaking out and empowering those who embark this path.

Most my life, I was deeply ashamed of who I was.

Ashamed of being too weird.
Ashamed of not fitting in.
Ashamed of trying so hard to be "normal."
I used to do the most to myself just to be accepted.
To conform. To not stand out.
But what I’ve learned on this journey is this:

When you’re destined for something, it will find you anyway.
No matter how much you try to hide.
No matter how much you try to dilute yourself.

Healing has taught me to embrace the very things I was once shamed for — my softness, my depth, my femininity, my intensity, my way of feeling and witnessing life.

And here’s the biggest lesson:
It’s the mindset.

Life will happen.
People will judge.
Experiences will unfold whether you want them to or not.
You lose more than you win.

Despite the outcome,
your choice of responding shapes how you choose to move forward.
How you honor your body’s truth.

There are always two sides to every story.
There is always growth inside discomfort.
So lean in then let go.

Walk into the season of trusting your inner knowing.
Even when no one understands.
Even when the outcome is uncertain.

Keep choosing yourself.
Keep moving forward.

Every breath in life is an opportunity to begin again.

The "final shedding" has been such a deep downward spiral the past few weeks. From historical trauma, old seggual trauma wounds, addiction, and self sabotage it has been interesting what I have been secretly carrying with me still.

During my meditation I asked how was I to let go all of this weight. And spirit showed me ✂️✂️✂️which then made me feel so stupid. 😅

Through this I have noticed true choice compared to unconscious patterns I have programmed from early years of my life.

Happy first day of the fire horse season. May this season of life will you focus on tending to your own garden and sharing the fruits of your labor to those who value your garden. I usually go with white roses, but to start off the fire horse year I am welcoming hydrangea in my space. ❤️

Beloved Source of all life,
Great Light of love, peace, and wisdom,
We invite Your presence now.

We ask that Reiki flow gently and powerfully
through the land of Minnesota,
through its rivers and forests, its cities and fields,
through every home, every heart, every soul.

May this healing energy bring peace where there is unrest,
comfort where there is sorrow,
clarity where there is confusion,
and hope where there is fear.

We ask that all who live here
be surrounded in divine light,
guided by compassion, understanding, and respect.
May kindness grow in every interaction,
and may justice, dignity, and unity be restored.

Let Reiki support the leaders, the healers, the teachers,
the parents, the children, and the elders.
May they act from wisdom and love
for the highest good of all.

We send healing to those who are suffering,
to those who feel unseen or unheard,
to those who carry heavy burdens in their hearts.
May they feel held, protected, and valued.

May Minnesota become a beacon of peace,
a place where hearts awaken,
where diversity is honored,
and where love is stronger than fear.

We give thanks for this healing,
knowing it is already flowing,
already working,
already complete.

With gratitude and humility,
we place this prayer in the light.

And so it is.
🙏✨

Did you know your hips hold a lot of stored emotion?
If your glutes or hips have been feeling tight, consider this your permission slip to twerk. 😉

That’s exactly what I did this morning—I woke up feeling tight so I turned on some music from the clubbing days, and gave myself permission to shake that asssssss. It felt good to shake all that stagnant energy off of me!

We’re still in that snake shedding season, and apparently my body had a few more things it was ready to let go of.

Allow movement to be medicine. ✨

Apparently 2016 is trending right now. And reflecting back on these images, it made me realize this was the build up which led to my first spiritual awakening. 😅 I think I'm finally ready to start sharing my awakening story. I'll let yall enjoy these photos first. 🤭

Hello everyone.

The Flow State will be holding 3 sessions this week. Today, Wednesday and Friday, to offer and hold space for the community.

We will be offering space for individuals to do circle share, do movement together, meditate, and do a collective energy cleanse.

In these times where our media is saturated with fear, anxiety, and upheaval, The Flow State hopes to offer a little peace and stillness in this time.

These spaces are free and open to the community. You can choose to attend one or all depending on where your needs are.

Reserve your spot with the link below:

Are you a feeler too?

Oftentimes we focus so much on certain abilities—like being a seer—that the other gifts don’t get talked about as much. Lately, I’ve been realizing just how strong my senses of feeling and hearing really are.

Today, I felt really called to just sing it out. Allowing the energy move through my body. Through my light language I felt what’s going on around me, within me, and allowing it to pass through instead of holding it in.

There was calm.
There was a rush of love.
There was clarity.

It reminded me that our gifts don’t always look flashy or dramatic. Sometimes they look like listening, feeling deeply, moving energy, or simply honoring what your body is asking for in that moment.

I hope you continue embarking on your own journey—embracing all the beautiful strengths, sensitivities, and natural gifts you were given.

Last night’s BINGO vision night almost didn’t happen.

I was feeling ungrounded and unsure if I could hold space the way I wanted to. With everything going on in the world—the heaviness, the injustice, the grief—it felt hard to host something meant to feel uplifting. I questioned if it was the right thing to do. Then I reminded myself why this space exists in the first place.

We named what was presently heavy in our heart and mindspace. We acknowledged the weight many of us were carrying. And instead of bypassing it, we moved through it—slowly, gently—allowing our bodies to re-regulate, to feel safe again. We tapped, we breathed, we felt. No forcing. No fixing. From there, our bodies softened.

We allowed ourselves to return to curiosity and creativity. We explored what we want to call in for 2026. We shared stories, "gifted" each other experiences, laughed, and created together. It became playful, intimate, and deeply human.

I’m really grateful I kept it small. When spaces are intimate, there’s room to go deeper—to listen, to feel seen, to hold joy and heaviness at the same time.
This night reminded me that even during hard times—especially during hard times—community matters. Safe containers matter. Showing up authentically matters.

At the end I felt grounded, supported, and hopeful— Im sure they felt the same. Im reminded that when we gather with intention, we don’t escape the world—we return to it more resourced, more connected, and more open-hearted.
