🎉 it’s my birthday today!


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 birthday next year 💌

because sometimes we forget just how much we’re growing until we slow down and really look

so i wanted to offer a few gentle prompts in case you wanna take a few minutes today to do the same:

✨ Birthday Reflection Prompts (even if it’s not your birthday):

  • What’s something you’re really proud of from the past year?
  • What would you tell yourself on your birthday one year ago if you could?
  • What did you gain this year that you want to carry into the next?
  • What are you ready to leave behind as you move forward?
  • Who has impacted your life positively this year - and how can you let them know?
  • How do you want to feel (physically, mentally, emotionally) on your birthday next year?


it’s wild how these simple questions can shift everything.

they help us remember that we are growing. they help us SEE our progress. because you are doing great ✨

this kind of reflection - and weekly celebration - has been a huge part of my own journey

it’s what keeps me grounded, confident, and motivated even when life feels messy

and it’s also the exact energy behind something i created with heaps of love recently:

The Pep Talk Portal

a 4-week cozy coaching + celebration experience where i’ll be in your ears as your back pocket bestie & healthy, happy-habits hype gal

helping you build confidence, momentum, and self-celebration one tiny win at a time!

so if you wanna keep the birthday vibes rolling and have me in your ear never letting you forget that you are absolutely amazing for a whole month you can >> check out the details here <<

but truly, whether the Pep Talk Portal resonates or not, i hope you borrow some of my celebratory birthday vibes today and take a few minutes to reflect and celebrate yourself

because you’re so amazing and doing SO much better than you think babe!

with birthday sparkle and so much love,

Wellness

my body decided a few days before i fly internationally for a massive conference was the perfect time to become allergic to my lash extensions i've been getting for 1.5 years ...


so i spent another few days with ice and tea bags on my eyeballs crying and having an identity crisis, which i'm not (mostly) over!


here's one of my fave quick n dirty practices that helps me see where to channel my energy when i feel like a mess!:

Wanderlust

i'm curating outfits for my conference in Texas, which will be my first of two trips in the next few weeks because i've officially booked my flight back to Canada for the summer!

so i'm focusing on this conference this week, then packing up my entire apartment, putting my belongings in storage, and going to good ol Ontario to visit friends and family while the weather is actually decent there!

Working On

i made what felt like a huge decision to not launch my Pep Talk Portal offer, because what i realized is ... it's actually the vibe i've been craving for my Self Love Experiment Membership

so0o there are some glow ups on the horizon, and all i know right now is that there will be voice notes, pep talks, and more of a chat style vibe vs emails!

so if you're feeling called to some self care + magic mindset support ... peep the membership while the price is still $11/month!
