hola Reader! three years ago today, i boarded a flight from Cartagena to Toronto that i didn’t plan for, nor did i want to be on it wasn’t for a vacation.or an adventure.it was one of those flights you take when life cracks you open and everything feels like too much i felt scared. overwhelmed. exhausted crying in the airportblubbering at the check-in counterholding my breath through customs and layovers and gate changes and yet, somehow, i feel like i was carried all the way home ☁️ by...

hola Reader! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEE! i'm turning 36, which isn't a nice round "significant" number but honestly it still feels like a big milestone to me!not in a “check all the boxes” kind of way,but in a wow, look how far I’ve come kind of way. i always feel really reflective around my birthday (and New Years, and Equinox lol) - it’s how i process, how i celebrate, how i move forward with intention and this year i’m writing a letter to myself from my future self to open on my...

hola Reader! this week’s Travel, Transformations & Tacos Tuesday 🌮 flavour: soft exits + self-love reminders 💌 lately, i’ve been having the same conversation again and again- with clients- with sensitive souls in my DMs- and with myself, honestly this season feels like a deep exhale …a “no more overgiving, overexplaining, or overriding my own needs” kind of chapter and it’s got me journaling like a fiesty femme who is realizing just how much her wishy washy boundaries have been plaguing her...

hola Reader! TLDR; sharing last week's poll results + fun facts about how i ended up living in Mexico! last week i asked you the ultimate travel vibe check:beach bum 🏝️ or mountain babe 🏔️? and while it was close, the beach bums took the win! just barely though - so if you’re a mountain lover, don’t worry, i still see you in your cozy cabin-core glory! but since the beach took the crown and i said i'd share a photo + story with the winning climate vibes, here's a lil behind-the-scenes on how...

happy Travel Tales, Transformations & Taco Tuesday, Reader! TLDR; beach bum or mountain babe? you probably know by now, i’m all about that beach bum dream life - sunshine, coconut water, no alarm clocks etc and i suppose i got a lil wrapped up in my own fantasy for a lil momentito because one of my travel chat clients told me she dreams of living in the mountains because she hates the heat ... so i was like ... wait what?! you don’t dream of waking up barefoot in a bikini with an iced coconut...

welcome to April, Reader! popping into your inbox in case you need this reminder too: you are not "behind" on your goals for 2025 sure, Q1 has officially wrapped up, but rather than thinking about all the things you have not accomplished and how many of your New Years Resolutions you still haven't ticked off ... how about we reflect on all the things we HAVE done / learned / ways we've grown?! because although i don't know exactly how Q2 is going to unfold, i DO know that celebrating my wins...

hola from Mexico Reader! settling back into my best beach bum life here in Playa del Carmen, and i feel really called to share one of my biggest transformations travel has blessed me with i used to think healing was all shadow work, journaling, and deep introspection but after spending the last two weeks dancing 12+ hours a day in the streets of Rio, i realized - joy is just as important as the healing "work" and one thing about Brazil especially during Carnival the people get joy it’s not...

hola Reader! writing this to you from the airplane to Brazil because amidst the excitement (and a little chaos since i left everything to the last minute as per usual), i’ve been feeling this huge wave of gratitude i began chasing my own dreams of living a life of FREEDOM wayyy back in 2013 when i first moved to Australia on a working holiday visa for a year again when i decided to do my yoga teacher training in India and travel around south east Asia for as long as i felt like it and again...
