With this fresh new haircut, I have decided it was the right time to come on here and express my fresh and new ideas, thoughts, goals, and perspective 💁♀️
As of just two months ago, I am going back to school part time to become a Nurse 👩⚕️
I have felt a pull to further my education and training for a long while now but wasn’t sure which way to go and what I wanted to do.
There was a lot of meditation and journaling done around this... “Am I really going to change my career path... AGAIN?!”
“Am I smart enough?”
“Do I have what it takes?”
I finally expressed my dreams to friends & family and 💓Nothing but love and support 💓
the past two months a lot has happened in my personal life on top of going back to school and I honestly can say 2019 was one of the hardest years in a long time.
But one of the best things to come from it... is this.
My shift away from social media/health and wellness/influencer space definitely fueled this decision. This space ultimately feels just like the acting world to me: competitive, filled with a lot of inauthentic people (but not all!), over saturated, money-driven, and problematic culturally as it is mainly designed for privileged, mostly white, women. 🙅♀️
I just didn’t feel aligned with this space anymore and yes, I understand how ironic it is that I’m making a post on social media about this but my intention is to share my experience and journey and raise awareness to the fact that so much of this space is problematic culturally and for our health. “Wellness” is often just appropriating diet culture which just fuels eating disorders/disordered eating/mental health issues, etc. It also is more money-driven than passion-driven (with few exceptions) and sells to the privileged demographic who can afford to spend $22 on a smoothie. I just couldn’t anymore. It’s not why I pursued Holistic Health and it’s ultimately what’s drawing me to get clinical experience and try to marry the two as I truly feel that’s the future of health care and I want to be on the front lines advocating and implementing change in places that need it most.
I’m out ✌️maybe I’ll be back. so much ♥️ to those of you I’ve connected with over yrs
Xoxo

Blend it all up and it’s a deliciously refreshing fall smoothie!
Happy Saturday friends 🎃🍎
Hey, it’s me. It’s been a while! 🧚🏻♀️
Part I hate social media, part this summer has been the worst.
But, here I am, living and breathing and having much gratitude.
This morning has been filled with drinking an entire French press by myself ☕️
Holding and meditating with my newly charged crystals with piper 🐈 (who could use all the healing and good energy cause of her lil ♥️)
And journaling, reflecting, and re-reading old journals and letters and WOW. All I can say is that is exactly what I needed. To put it all in perspective and to sit back and bask in the wonder of the journey and human experience.
If you have the time, wait, even if you don’t think you have the time, i suggest doing this.
Fill up that damn cup of yours with some coffee (or tea) and reflection.
I feel like a new woman.
Nice to write to you all again, maybe I won’t go away for so long this time 😘
