Happy 28th birthday to my incredible wife!!!

Not only are you the heart of our home, but you’re also such an integral part of the work I do every day. The compassion, insight, and warmth you bring into my life quietly shapes the way I show up for others, and I see your impact in my practice more than you probably realize.

You inspire me to be more patient, more present, and more human. I’m endlessly grateful for your support, your wisdom, and the way you believe in me even on the hard days.

You make everything better… My life, my work, and everyone lucky enough to know you.

I love you more than words can say. Here’s to you and everything you are. ❤️
