I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about all the rooms I’ve been silently expected to be in at once...
All the roles I was supposed to play.
And the number of years I did it—without question.

Of course I was exhausted.
Of course I felt depleted.
Of course resentment crept in.

I started to forget who I was outside of what I did for everyone else.

I was sucked dry—squeezing blood from a fu***ng turnip.

Just like so many of you still are.

This post isn’t about talking women out of their dreams.

It’s about giving you permission to say no in the chapters that demand it.

Don’t want kids?
Not ready to be a mom?
Not ready to be a wife?
In a career that’s gutting your soul and wanna be a barista for a bit while you figure your s**t out?

YES PLEASE.
Go do it.
Say no.
Put it off until you’re interested — not “ready.”

(Readiness is a scam anyway. Motherhood doesn’t come with prep time. It’s a rip-the-bandaid kind of role.)

Just don’t let society—or that fact that you have lips between your legs (super power babe)—dictate what direction you walk in.


Sincerely,
your almost-middle-aged (actually—we’re there) big sis 💋

It’s giving: personal rebrand mid-existential collapse.
It’s giving: I’m fine but don’t test me.
It’s giving: the path chose me and it had obstacles, plot twists, and ✨spiritual taxes✨.

The glow-up isn’t aesthetic—it’s survival turned sovereign.

This is what it looks like to grieve, grow, and still be a little petty on the way to peace.

“But I wanna ScAlE 😩”

The creator economy built a false god out of “scaling.”

So many people on this app—myself included at one point—have worshipped the idea of reaching millions, while ignoring the 100 souls sitting right in front of us.

Jesus had 12 followers.
Socrates had a handful.
So did Plato.

None of them saw reach, recognition, or virality while they were alive.
It was their legacy that outlived them—
that eventually shaped hearts, minds, and generations.

Isn’t that the point?

And if it is…then what are we all chasing on this app?

Why do we crave that many eyes?

And if they were suddenly all on you…
are you even ready to carry the impact you say you want?

Something to sit with.

Who’s sitting at your table is more important than what you’re serving at it

I’m sorry we’ve all been so grossly misled.
I’m sorry personal work got glamorized.

That healing was made to look like a clean, linear process—when it’s anything but.

I’m sorry no one told you that the breakdown is the breakthrough.

That it was never supposed to look neat.

And it damn sure wasn’t supposed to feel good.

I’m sorry you may have ejected from your own process—right before it landed.

Coming home to yourself isn’t soft work.
It’s disorienting.
Violent.
Grief-soaked.
Messy.

If you’re in it—stay in.
It’s not a detour. It’s your path forward.

Let’s retire the container, shall we?

🧬 Soul work.
🌿 Medicine work.
👁️ Witnessing another in their process…

it’s only recently become clinical, sterile, regulated…
and honestly, I don’t think we’re better off for it.

⚠️ When that becomes the expectation—
that’s exactly what we’ll get.

People naturally won’t go against the tone of the room…it’s a survival tactic.

And it’s grossly apparent in the West:
medicine work is not what it used to be,
and we are suffering for it.

💭 I heard something today that struck me:
“Earth is on evacuation notice.”

And it’s really not hard to see why.

❌ NOTHING about the healthy you are looking to achieve
(gross word—let’s start saying embody)
is going to be clinical, sterile, or regulated.

🔥 It’s going to be a fu***ng mess.
It’s going to be anything but clinical.
Because you cannot box a body.
And regulation is part of how we got into this
collective dysregulated mess to begin with.

🤍 I want to see your soul.
I want to learn you so the medicine you need is made just for you, for all the unique, uncontainable bits of you.

👣 I want to walk with you
the way many of us used to walk with our sisters in a time we can’t fully remember,
but deeply know exists.

🚫 We were never meant to heal in boxes.
🌕 We were meant to gather. To walk. To witness.

I’m not here to guide you through a process…I’m here to walk with you back to your own medicine.

Let’s retire the word container, shall we?

Soul work. Medicine work.
The act of witnessing another in their process—
has become clinical, sterile, regulated…

And I don’t think we’re better off for it.

Nothing about the healing you’re craving
is going to be clean, boxed, or easy to brand.

You can’t box a body.
And you sure as hell can’t package a soul.

The 1st of the month isn’t the start of everyone’s month.

Your Lunar Return — when the Moon returns to its exact natal position — is your real reset.

It marks the beginning of your personal emotional cycle.

Your timing is unique. Honor it.

2026 is the year we stop lying to ourselves about what we actually want in life 😘

Sis. Sit down.

❄️ We are in the dead of winter.
And just because society is living on a solar-based calendar doesn’t mean your body is built to blow past the boundary that is this season.

🌬️ Even my clients with January (yes, even February and March) birthdays…

Are they getting an energetic spark? Sure.
But is anyone sprinting into 2026?

No. Because it’s not the season for that.

📚 I wrote over 170+ pages of Solar Returns back in October, and I’m still getting DMs like:
“Why is this so accurate?”
“Omg this period finally makes sense now.”
“I’ve gone back to mine three times already—it’s that on point.”

They’re not just reading a chart.
They’re syncing with a rhythm.

🧭 And when you’re in rhythm, things click.

🗣️ Want feedback from those clients? Just ask.

🔑 Want to stop pushing and actually understand 2026? You know where to find me.

🌀 This year is astrologically complex—
But it doesn’t have to be confusing.

🕰️ Solar Return Sessions are open until Jan 12.

💌 DM me SUNNY and I’ll show you the moment your year actually begins.

Of all the things I didn’t miss while I was away —
I did miss a good meme drop.

Here are a few of my favorites from the past month.
A cheeky way to say what so many of us think, feel, or want to say — but don’t.

(Why, though?
Judgment? Fear of being misunderstood?)
People are going to judge you regardless.

I expected walking away to be a lot harder than it was.

Historically, within days of deleting social media from my phone, I’d catch myself subconsciously swiping my home screen — looking for it.

Anxious about leaving. Anxious about returning.
Spending each moment away trying to figure out how I could turn my life into something consumable.

But this time…
There was none of that.

No tension. No urge. No FOMO.

I don’t really have a desire to come back here —
at least, not in the way I did before.

Lately, I’ve been in my garden,
preparing for the beehives we’ll be welcoming onto the land.
Pressing the medicine I made and shelved ten weeks ago.
Reading. Writing. Recording for the podcast.

And playing with the idea that maybe —
just maybe —
I no longer need to be on this platform to do what I love.

I’m smart enough to know that things shift.
That we should never say never.

But what I do know is this:
The way I share is going to change.

I savor my privacy.
Not every aspect of my life is meant to be filtered through this place.
I’m not built — nor do I desire — to be a content machine.

My life is not a stream.
It’s a cycle.
And it deserves to be lived — not just posted.

Stillness, presence, and poignant sharing
are my social strategy now.

If that resonates, stick around.
What I share will come from a deeply heart-centered space.

And if you prefer longer form, you can find me on Substack and the podcast — now also on YouTube.

Let Me Introduce Myself...

Welcome to My Page. I am so glad you have decided to connect with me.

In addition to being a wife, mom, sister, daughter, and friend I also wear the hat of Mind, Body, Health Coach, (former) Dietitian, and Medical Nutrition Therapist.

Having always possessed an innate interest in the dynamic relationship between the connection of food with the mental, emotional, and physical bodies I pursued and obtained my Bachelors in Dietetics from the University of Maryland, College Park.

While schooling and education led me to an abbreviated career in Dietetics it was my passion for a deeper understanding of the "what" and "why" behind my personal health challenges that lead me to further explore a multi-modality approach to healing.
