The girl who started this business had healed a lot, but still identified with her trauma, pain, limitations. She was choosing every day to liberate her life from the grip of them but man was she still in it and creating everything from the lens of… that.

Vulnerability for me then was sharing the pain, the “real” bts of the happy facade presented.

The woman holding this business now remembers it all and is proud of how far she’s come and also feels so far removed from the lifelong patterns and pain and the general way of relating to life that was sad, mad, scared, dysregulated, constantly looking for “justice” for all the harm.

This woman released the quest for justice and chose a life of mercy. 🐉

Vulnerability for me now is sharing the grounded joy and love and connection and abundance and peace that is my life, even last year as I navigated true crisis and real time trauma that was real real, and still, my “real” bts was and is even better than what I present. Perfectly imperfect. Laughing my way through it every day.

Some who knew me then hold me to an identity that doesn’t exist now.

Some who know me now without knowing my backstory create some pretty fun stories about who I am. 😝

Some who loved who I was then, hate who I am now.

And vice versa. 😉

Choosing to create, to lead, to have a voice in the world… while growing and changing and evolving who you Be and what you say and what you do… shifting your embodiment into more love, joy, freedom, success…

Can stir a lot up in some people’s opinions of you.

But “some people’s” opinions of you don’t matter when you’re living rooted in your depths and growing in your heights and are ALIVE in a way that those who play into their limitations instead of into their liberation can’t relate to.

I love all versions of me. I love all versions of my body of work that have existed, even the cringe. I love this life I courageously created. I love the humans I share it with. I love It All.

When your biz, life, love, bank acct are built on a foundation of Love… it’s All magic. Even the growing pains.
