The last one is my fave ✨

Posting this from the last few days of the year, and because we’ve been implementing this structure and these routines, it’s been a beautiful winter break for the whole fam. ❄️🤍

What’s one thing that’s a winter non-negotiable for the kid(s) in your life?

Seasonal depression is real, and the same time, there’s so much fear-mongering around winter that we’ve forgotten that it’s also an essential part of our natural cycles.

Winter is a season of slowing down, reflecting, and tending to what actually supports us. When we move with the season instead of fighting it, it can be a powerful time for our mental health, clarity, growth, and our overall well-being.

This is part of my Winter Surthrival Series shared with the hope that it helps you meet this season with more gentleness and intention.

Did you learn anything new? What’s one tip you lean on to support you mentally during the colder months?

Winter quietly asks more from us. Less light, more time indoors, and, still, a pace that doesn’t slow down with the season. Over time, I’ve learned that shifting how I care for myself matters to my well-being. And that moving through winter well just takes intention.

This is part one of my Winter Surthrival series, where I’m sharing practical habits that help support us during the colder months. Stay tuned for the rest of the series dropping every few days.

What’s one habit that helps you feel more supported in the winter? ❄️

Staying warm + fly in our matching thanks to our friends at ☃️

NYC winters are tough, but NYers are tougher. Layering up well, staying active while cozy indoors, and getting into all the cool things the five boroughs have to offer while staying warm are all key to, not only surviving, but having a memorable season.

Looking forward to strapping into our WOODstack x Adistar Control 5’s and hitting up all of our favorite cozy museums, galleries, and kid-friendly activities.

The holidays can be meaningful and intense, so it’s important to remember that true self-care starts before a drink ever hits the glass. Pause, check in with yourself, and understand your why before you pour yourself a drink this season.

Grateful to partner with Responsibility.org to continue bringing awareness to mindful sipping as a way to care for yourself and those around you.

Visit Responsibility.org for tools and tips for an intentional holiday season. 🍸

I started offering my signature energy readings, Alignment Sessions, in October 2020. Today I completed my final one.

Actually, the first reading I ever offered was in December 2019, for someone who believed in my gifts before I fully did. And today I closed this chapter with that same person.

(I love full circles + obvi they love me too.)

Over the last five years, this is what people have known and what they’ve turned to me for — understanding energy, orienting themselves after endings or before beginnings, and learning how to live with greater intention while honoring the mind, body, and spirit. This work has shaped my voice, my credibility, and my relationship with teaching in a very public way.

“So, what happens now?”A question I’ve heard again and again from my community, my clients, my friends, and my family.

What happens now is that the work remains, but the medium through which it is expressed is changing.

Something I’ve observed consistently in my readings this past year is a collective shift in how people want to receive guidance and reminders. There’s fatigue around being instructed and “optimized,” and a real desire to remember through experience. Through story, image, movement, beauty, and lived example in ways that feel more human, sensory, and alive.

We’re living in what feels like an unfolding spiritual and artistic renaissance. A return to art, film, and narrative, and to lessons that land organically in the body rather than being forced into the mind.

As much as I’ve tried to fight it, I’ve known for a while that I’m part of that shift. And so many people in my community are too, which is why my work is moving out of explanation and into embodiment. Allowing life itself to become the art and the teaching.

After years of doing the damn thing, I’m blessed to know firsthand that some things end because they worked. I’m very, very excited for what’s blossoming now.

P.S. Stay tuned for a series on what I know about our human experience after five consecutive years of offering psychic energy readings. 🫖 Who’s serving the tea?! (I ammmm)

I dress for my multitudes, and I love having the freedom to let each have its moment to shine. ✨

This dress so many of you asked about in my recent video was actually rented through , which has become one of my favorite ways to play with style without locking myself into anything too permanent.

I could have spent $245 on this Tofie Gown I’d wear once or twice, but instead I paid $98 and rotated six pieces all month long, letting different moods, seasons, and versions of myself take the lead. And if I did want to keep it? I could have kept it at a discounted price. (Ask me about the faux fur I DID keep from last month’s box!)

I love being able to explore my style as it’s evolving without the pressure to commit until I actually want to. If you’ve been curious about , my referral link is in my bio and it gives you $30 off your first month. 💋

Not sponsored, but I’m down for that in 2026, Nuuly!
