Reads I Love

I haven’t showed up that fully in my own busines

I haven’t showed up that fully in my own business or creative projects in a long time. In the summer of 2018 I felt like I was *finally* “figuring it out.” My Marketing business had just broken six-figures, I launched a podcast that was quickly picking up traction + I truly believed I was helping women in my community feel heard and supported — which is all I really wanted. ⠀
⠀
And then life happened. ⠀
⠀
I started to feel tired ~like really fucking tired~ + my hormones went ape shit + I was supposed to be moving (!!) but I met a man + I was living on my own for the first time + I started questioning a lot of the relationship dynamics happening in various areas of my life + stress felt like it was a baboon constantly sitting on my shoulders getting heavier and harder to shake off + I got offered an amazing salaried position with a client I loved that literally could NOT have come at a better time because, clearly, I needed a break (see above).⠀
⠀
And so I stopped. No explanation. Many “hi, are you alive?” messages ensued via DM. But how could I explain that I was so worn out + so deliriously happy at the same time? How could I articulate that I was so proud of my podcast but that after only a few mere months I no longer felt aligned with the woman I portrayed myself as? Who was I to think that people even wanted an explanation? Would I offend people if I showed my monthly massages + talked about financial woes? Could I present myself as a marketing professional + still talk about how I crave swimming naked in the wild from time to time? I felt trapped in a box of my own making. ⠀

Sagrada Familia + Sangria Con Mi Familia. 🍷 ☀️💛 | So thankful Sal asked me to be his DECA partner (after asking 3 other people) + that I felt obligated to invite Aaron to my 16th birthday party. 🦃 Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Just tonight Aaron and I were talking {{at a bar over REALLY GOOD Carmel Apple Whiskey drinks}} about what we have a little too much of on our plates and how we can outsource or make those things easier so we have more time to focus on what lights us up. And really, the conversation mostly revolved around my career and the things I feel so called to constantly take care of (he insists I’m a busy body even when I’m sick and should just watch Gilmore Girls. I insist that I’d go fucking crazy if I sat still for more than 24 hours and he accepts this about me) and not for the first time in the span we’ve been together, I’ve felt so heard. To have a man like him always in my corner, always wanting me to succeed, craving my peace as much as he craves his own and loving me even when I’m at my most transparent — that’s a gift I can’t find words for. 💖We have had so much fun discovering this new city together + I feel SO happy we got these photos done (by the AMAZING @anneleephotography who I InstaStalked for months before moving out here) to commemorate this exciting next chapter. 🙏🏼 It’s not always easy, but loving you sure is fun, @aaronmylius. Cheers to many more laughs, years of love and lobster rolls! 🦞☀️✨

“It’s a Full Moon tonight. That’s when all the weirdos are out.” - Hocus Pocus 🧙🏼‍♀️👻🎃

After many tears in Phoenix (+ on the plane... + o

After many tears in Phoenix (+ on the plane... + on my first morning here) I’ve officially arrived in Boston and can’t even believe it. 🌵💛 Phoenix brought me so many milestones, friendships, lessons, changes and breakthroughs. It’s no doubt the Arizona desert will always have a piece of my heart (along with @luxcentral + @provisioncoffee ☕️😅) but to look out my window in Boston to see a skyline and walk to work at @the.wing {{where even the bathroom has a view of the water}} is surreal. 🏙 This post feels messy and not eloquent at all, but I can’t even form the words yet to properly explain the gratitude I’m feeling in seeing my dreams come to life. 🙏🏼 Excited for this next chapter and thank you to everyone who has been such a huge support to me as I made this transition. I feel happy/blessed/thankful/ecstatic to have you around. 💕

24 was weird. It taught me a few hard-won lessons

24 was weird. It taught me a few hard-won lessons like...⁣
⁣
💛 Release expectations and enjoy the ride. Good and tough moments are both fleeting. They can even happen in tandem.⁣
⁣
💛 Success isn’t directly related to how hard I work or how much I earn — and neither is my happiness.⁣
⁣
💛 I am not a machine. I need to value the precious Earth body I was given + rest when my body is begging to or it *will* force me to take a breather.⁣
⁣
💛 Life will throw out curve balls and it will all work out. Always.⁣
⁣
💛 Four quarters are worth more than a 100 pennies.⁣
⁣
But it also taught me {{less heavy}} ones like:⁣
⁣
🌈 Writing for me makes me happy...I should probably get back to that.⁣
⁣
🌈 Living on your own is fun because you can walk around nakey + buy all of the pink things + listen to podcasts on a speaker without annoying the shit out of someone.⁣
⁣
🌈 When you go where the sunlight is you FEEL SO MUCH and it breaks your heart open in a good way + creativity flows through you easier. AKA it’s okay to let myself binge Netflix and read romantic fiction and dance around in my kitchen baking.⁣
⁣
🌈 Chocti Passionfruit Ghee is life + it is indeed possible to add it to every breakfast you eat.⁣
⁣
🌈 Traveling s l o w is becoming a must. I think I hit the threshold of racing from plane to train to car to bus + my Dramamine agrees.⁣
⁣
🌈 The person you’re in a relationship with should probably not be called your “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” and instead be called your “partner in crime” or “partner for the party” or “partner when you’re throwing up violently + desperately need someone to take out your dog.” Whoever you’re with, make sure they fit the “partner” bill.⁣
⁣
Anywho, 25 is going to be great. I can feel it in my bones. More adventure is coming. More sunlight, more laughs, more dancing, more beautiful little {{big}} moments that will fill my heart up. I’m ready. 🙋🏼‍♀️☀️🎈⁣
⁣
// Please note that @provisioncoffee is basically my second home and when I waltzed in late after my birthday dinner craving an espresso they full on hosted a photo shoot for me + @aaronmylius and lit a candle on a piece of chocolate zucchini loaf and are just always THE BEST.
