what a damn journey the last year has been >>

I’ve been trying to find my way back into writing, and apparently, all it took was one morning hike with John Wayne, a long shadow, and my 13-year-old blue heeler unknowingly cracking open an entire blog about shadow work.

classic Wayne.

so yes, my first blog in a while is up:

“Walking Beside What Follows You: What Traveling With My Dog Taught Me About the Shadow Self.”

it’s about different terrain, old patterns, healing, instincts, and the annoying little truth that no matter how far you travel… you still have to bring yourself with you.

Wayne has seen more versions of me than most people have, and somehow he’s still out here teaching me to rest, trust myself, and stop treating every feeling like a character flaw.

go read it on the blog, link in bio>>

different terrain, same girl n pup.

yesterday I was leaving the boat and found some freshies at Rabbit Ears with Mr. Wayne, testing what my new car can handle and getting a little lost in the woods.

a few hours later? 58° weather, cerveza in hand, sitting outside with my sister from another mister watching the sun do its magic.

I’m realizing I’m drawn to adventure for the same reason I’m drawn to life.

the weather changes. the terrain changes. water levels change. plans change.

you adapt.

sometimes you wake up and it’s full sun with no wind and suddenly you’re racing to go paddle. sometimes the road gets rough and you find another route. sometimes life starts life-ing and you pivot in a moment’s notice.

and somehow… we figure it out anyway.

which feels fitting because next Wednesday I’m launching my new website ⚔️🔥

new work, new writing, new adventures, and a place for all the different terrain in between.

I’m really excited for this upcoming chapter.

>> proof I’m a xena warrior goddess ⚔️

30 was a beautiful kind of chaos… the kind that cracks you open, humbles you, strips the noise, and forces you to meet yourself without the filters. I lost things I thought I needed. I outgrew versions of me that once felt permanent.

I learned the hard way that burnout, avoidance, and numbing it out will cost you everything.

and somewhere in that, I saw things—and people—clearly.

not everything close to you is for you.
but I also found my backbone.

31 isn’t soft in a fragile way… it’s grounded, clear, and doesn’t flinch. it’s peace with a pulse. it’s knowing when to walk away, when to speak up, and when to go all in without asking for permission.

I’m not chasing anymore… I’m building, protecting, and showing up like I mean it.

shoutout to the ones who did—and still do—celebrate me. you know who you are 🤍

and to the rest… a quiet little f=ck you where it’s due 🔥

Ski. Après. Shoot. Repeat. 🎿🍾📸

Nothing better than working with a brand that screams confidence, community, and send-it energy.

Big love to Kimmie for building into something so empowering, and to for making it look this good. 🫰🏻🫰🏻

As I sit here and finally gather the nerve to look back at 2025, I see a year that was both a sanctuary and a storm.

Chaos had its way with me.
Love lit a match and I helped it burn.
There was a season where I got lost on purpose…
just to remember what direction felt like mine.

Somewhere along the way,
I set my peace down
and didn’t pick it back up.

I stayed longer than I should have.
I silenced instincts that were telling the truth.
I chose comfort over clarity
and called it patience.

That part is mine.

What I want now feels feral in its honesty:

I want to wake up on a Tuesday
and follow the weather instead of my fear.
Ice skate before work.
Live on the river and in the lake all summer.
Ski just because the mountain said “come.”

I want to dance barefoot in my kitchen at midnight,
music too loud,
hair wild,
body finally speaking its own language.

I don’t want to be brave only in survival.
I want to be brave in choosing myself.

I want to be free.
Love her deeply…
and leave her wild.

2025 taught me what it looks like when I abandon myself.

2026 is where I practice staying.

The mountains always seem to pull me back—right when I’m leveling with myself.

& sitting here watching snow wrap the lakeside, I feel the warmth creep in, carrying the quiet power of what actually brings me peace.

Because this little life is too short to not be at home. 🏠

Somewhere between panic and peace, I figured it out. 🤘🏻
