As a hairstylist, I have been talking with women a LOT and let me share this with you….

We’ve all been through A LOT

More than what we expected

And yeah, although we got through it, we’re still like whoaaa 🫩

But through all the bs, loss, redirection, and setbacks

The timeline has shifted

And made space for more, different, better, & new!

Stay open to this energy

& pay attention to the habits you’re bringing with you in this next season

How are you treating yourself?

Are you moving your body?

Can you talk to yourself with more kindness?

You know you can figure it out, but can you figure it out while cheering yourself on?

We have enough bullies

Don’t make yourself one too

Sending love 💓🤟✨

My word of the year has been “openness”

More like my theme of the year

A reminder of who I was in the beginning of this year and how much I wanted change

Change can come in different ways …

Through force, or flow.

I’ve been doing force, probably for too long

So now, I invite flow

By being open

Open to new experiences
New people
New ways of thinking
New routines
Etc

8 months later, I am a completely different human who cares about wayyyy different things than I did in January.

Setting an intention and living by it is powerful.

It reminds you to trust, to stay true to your word, & to release the timeline

And little by little the shift happens

Since January this is what’s changed:
I am now a hairstylist again
I’m reconnecting with my clients who I’ve missed so much
Doing the best hair of my career
Made amazing new friendships
Found space yoga
Healed so much
Forgave
And prob some other things , you get the point

My message to you: Today could be the day that you decide to change

All it takes is a moment to decide…

Set the intention to be more open, or more aware, or more selective, or whatever

and by following through you can shift your whole reality in such a short time

In the best way

The choice is yours🫂
Sending love 💓

Dancing to my favorite dj Cassian 🖤
on my 11 year anniversary with Josh Pavao 💓

I remember the camera guy came up to me this night and said that he liked the way I dance (or something like that, it was really loud)

& you know what’s funny, I used to be SOOO self conscious of how I dance…

I would never dance at weddings or anything like that because I felt like I moved in a weird way and that people would make fun of me

Now when I’m on the dance floor I literally have people come up to me and ask to take videos & vibe with me

Turns out it’s not about your moves, it’s about your energy✨

So if you feel like you dance weird, let it be weird🤭

Dancing is an expression of yourself & I’m pretty sure there are no rules

It’s a time to be present, to enjoy, and to move your body

And sometimes that the best medicine for the soul ✨💕

Sending love 🤟✨💓

Here’s my honest opinion right now

I used to think people in their mid 30s had it all figured out

& In a way I still think we do

We know what we know so far

And probably lots of things we don’t

& with that knowledge we get to decide what we want to do about it

Do we want to stay the same?

Or do we want to take a risk and change?

So in a way, we’re on the right track

Because this human experience is all about overcoming

Who we were
Who others thought we should be
And whatever else got thrown in the mix🌪️

So if you’re starting over like me, ✨welcome to your new season ✨

I hope these photos helped

I was thinking about happiness the other day

Particularly people who are naturally happy

And what I realized is that the things that they are happy about are always the simple things

Like:
☀️a beautiful day
🫂spending time with people
🌴 nature
🍉 food

And they do this by doing one simple thing…

✨being present✨

🦋Present during a walk outside
👯‍♀️Present with their friends
☁️Present in their mind

This presence helps them get out of :
🌪️past traumas, worries,stories, fears

And
🔮future worries/fears

And into this moment right now.

A moment to look at the clouds and see the shapes
A moment to taste the delicious food they are eating
A moment to be grateful for the people in their life

So happiness is really so available to us

We just need to allow ourselves to notice it

And be in it

By being present with it

Sending love 🤟💓

The best way to calm yourself nervous system when feeling anxiety

(That doesn’t feel weird and you can do it anywhere)

Spine straight…
👃Breathing in through your nose (2-3 sec)
👃Taking an extra sip of air at the top
😮‍💨Slow exhale through the mouth (4-6 sec)
🔁Repeat 3-5 times ✨

✨Bonus points if you make a noise on your exhale (HAAAAA)✨

If you have questions, comment below I’m happy to answer

I used to think like this…

That I was strong because I knew how to not let things effect me

I was proud of my straight face, my armor, and my pride.

It gave me success

Allowed me to push through and not waste time

But it only got me so far before it started to slow me down

Started to creep in as anger over stupid little things

And kept me distant

Knowing what I know now, I see it clearly.

I see how my pain protected me and served me

But more importantly I see how it has blocked me

And now I see my pain as an invitation to let go

To put it down

To journal what I wish I would have said

And give thanks for the lessons

✨This is how you heal✨

You find what is asking to be released and let it go

🫂With help by others because you shouldn’t have to do this alone👯‍♀️

It is my mission to help women heal themselves

And to give you the tools that have helped me go from angry and anxious to abundant and free✨🐦‍🔥

💌If you’re curious on how to heal, send me a dm💓

Let me be clear

Your ex already happened, your new partner doesn’t need to know all the details.

Good or bad, take the lessons and work on what you need to work on so you can show up better and redefine who you are in this new season of life.

You’re allowed to restart✨🫶

Take this in:
That one goodbye could welcome the BEST hello!

When I was a hairstylist I worked at a salon that I really loved.

I had tons of clients
Made lots of money
& Did what I loved doing

But here’s the thing…

It was in a town I didn’t want to be in.

I wanted MORE

I wanted to expand myself and live somewhere new, make a name for myself, get paid to travel, and open my own salon.

The cost:

Goodbye to my clients
Goodbye to my hometown
Goodbye to what I knew and how I made money

And I’m not going to lie, my first 6 months living in miami as a hairstylist I made basically NOTHING

My first check was $37 for TWO WEEKS

But as I pushed through and kept focused I:
👯‍♀️Rebuilt a clientele
🏘️Opened salons
✈️Traveled to teach
🎤Spoke on stages
💎And got to retire at 32.

All because I said goodbye.

Goodbyes are not just about endings, they are about making space for more aligned beginnings!

My question for you is:
🔮 Where do you need to say goodbye to?
