In this episode of Based on a Feeling, I’m diving into The Art of Showing Up — how to show up for yourself, your creativity, and your process, even when it feels messy or imperfect. I sip peppermint tea, burn my favorite eucalyptus + mint candle, and share a story about pushing past doubt to show up anyway.

On today's episode we get into the "healthy and unhealthy habits" vs. routines and the differences between the two. Are building new habits better than creating routines? I expose some of my habits and routines that I have and I leave you with a special gift at the end of this episode to bring in Leo season the right way!

Until next time, with love.

Okay! I'm back for real this time! We're getting into my journey of how my mind was running me and ways to gain control again. I take it back to my childhood and the types of inner child wounds I am working my way out of. I share the process I've developed for myself through the numerous sessions of therapy and shadow work that have aided in gaining control and regulating my emotions in a healthy way as they come up. I talk about letting go of friendships that no longer are in alignment with the current version of myself and how my self-concept has grown stronger and more beautiful.

I am wishing you a peaceful week in hopes that in doing my own work it gives you some insight and courage to seek the answers your soul is needing right now.

It's been a while loves but I'm back with a little more information about life, love, healing, and growth. I'm excited to share the shadows and light of my journey these past few months. She is healing. She is happier. She is lighter. As Mercury Retrograde ends I can breathe a little easier knowing what I now know. The growth that came out of this, is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever been apart of and I'd do it 1000 years more if it meant exposing the layers of myself. And to do it without fear, shame, and self judgement is to truly be free of the enemy we may have created in our heads. It's a feeling like no other. It's vulnerability. It's pure. It's love. It's light.

Until next time, with love.

On this week's episode we dive into what radical self-acceptance looks and feels like when you understand who you are without the shame and love who that is anyway with grace. It's featuring my lovely friend Takeya, a licensed therapist, dancer, and yoga teacher as we talk about how connecting with breath allows you to be your most present and open self.

This weeks episode starts off with a recap of how the new year is going so far (whew chile!) touching lightly on the topic of human design and going straight for the struggles of being in my 30's and ending my people pleasing era. The question of who are you willing to become in order to receive all the amazing things waiting for you comes up and I share some of my goals for 2023 and challenge you to make and share your goals!

This week’s episode dives into the light truths of life that friendships are hard af to find and maintain as adults, perfectionism doesn’t exist, and my journey as a creative has been a realization that the discovery of my body and voice are connected to me being able to manipulate my movement to convey a story with dimension.

Let me know in the comments how you and your friends maintain your relationships. And how you’re  prevailing against perfectionism ?
