Greetings from outside the cocoon.

Five weeks postpartum and I haven’t left the house much - but that’s exactly how I envisioned it. 💅🌸🐚

On February 27th, six planets stretched across the horizon in quiet formation - the kind of alignment that only happens every so often. The kind that feels less like coincidence and more like the universe rearranging itself on purpose.

Below it, my body aligned too.

We arrived at the hospital at 1:32pm. Four centimeters. Ten minutes later, my water broke on its own - no intervention, no asking. Just: now.

By 2:31pm, I was at ten centimeters. Less than an hour. The nurses said it quietly, like they didn’t want to alarm me. I didn’t fully understand what that meant yet.

I would.

The contractions didn’t just build. They arrived. Each one a demolition of something load-bearing I didn’t know I’d been depending on. I had no medication. The anesthesiologist wasn’t going to make it on time, and some part of my body had already decided it didn’t matter.

At some point the room emptied. I was alone, my baby was descending, and I understood with total animal clarity that I could not stop what was coming.

I held on to the bed like it was the last solid thing on earth.

Just wait. Just hold on. Just…

“SOMEONE HELP ME!!!”

It came from somewhere below language.

And then the room filled again. A woman I’d never met took my hand - steady, sure - and her voice found me inside the chaos. Ryan on my other side, letting me grip him like a rope. Not flinching. Just there.

The sounds that tore out of me were nothing I recognized. Primal, unstoppable, coming from somewhere that had never surfaced before. I was writhing, thrashing, unable to follow the directions being given to me because my body had stopped being mine. Wave after wave after wave, and the terror it would never stop, and the deeper terror that something was breaking inside me that wouldn’t heal.

At 2:49pm, he was born.

2026 is the new 2016?
Okay…let’s revisit 💫

Slide 1:
Started the year in Thailand (for the third time). Found this epic space-chick outfit in Bangkok.

Slide 2:
Moved to Koh Phangan. Endless yoga, breathwork, ecstatic dance, ta***ic yoga. Got Reiki I & II certified. Lived barefoot and open.

Slide 3:
Turned 30 on Lake Nacimiento. Best birthday of my life.
Incredible friends, nature, music, dancing, and deep mind exploration (if you know what I mean).

Slide 4:
Moved to a property in Grass Valley. Lived in a yurt. Tended a w**d farm. Spent a lot of time very n**e in the garden

Slide 5:
Burning Man - round 6 (and the last). If you know, you know.

Slide 6:
Back in SoCal. Hot springs, mountains, long soaks. Letting life soften me.

Slide 7:
Mojave Desert days. Learning new skills. Channeling my inner badass.

Slide 8:
Ended the year living back in Malibu with no idea that January 2017 would flip my entire life upside down for the next decade.

Closing line:
2016 was one of the best years of my life.
The decade after? Brutally hard. Transformative - but not in the fun way.

So yeah - I’m open to 2026 being the new 2016.
That would be one hell of a ride with (almost) 2 kids in tow. ☀️🙌😁

I want to see you. I want you to see me. ☁️

〰️
Me 15 years ago was a really special person. The trajectory of my life shifted drastically as I navigated the gruesome loss of my father that turned my entire life upside down. His death sent me on an incredible quest for the deeper meaning of life and a large part of me believes losing him was the only way for me to take that journey.

I quit working for corporate America, opened my own online imports shop, tried psychedelics for the first time (changed my life forever), experienced my first major spiritual awakening, and traveled to Perth, Australia where I began yoga.

I also went to Burning Man for the first time (followed by many more years) and spent most of my time in deep self-exploration through journeying and camping around California.

I traveled through Indonesia for 3 months (always buying one-way tickets), was a tour manager for a rock band around the US, and moved to Byron Bay, Australia to live in a hippy commune.

I was a “yes” girl. I wanted to see it all, learn everything, lose my ego and humble myself. And boy was I humbled.

There is so much to my story, people who know me well often shake their heads in disbelief for the many lives I have lived.

I find it hard to be on social media lately - it feels performative and like a “have to” thing. I’m over that. I’m taking notes from me 15 years ago - when I show up here I’m going to show you me for real real - and I want to see you too.
