Blazy B

When asked to fill in as a last-minute live auctioneer for a non-profit fundraiser, I said "bet"—and completely underestimated what was about to happen. From stage panic and accidentally skipping bids to sealing cocoa nib bags with a hair straightener, here is the honest, hilarious breakdown of my live auctioneering debut!

A chaotic summer recap filled with paddleboarding, running, festivals, camping, concerts, wedding festivities, travel, and one very memorable decision to crowd surf!

A long-closed Taco Bell in West Seattle got a full send-off complete with bagpipes, a dove release, candles, offerings, a tombstone, grieving attendees in black veils, and even a crying contest.

I somehow ended up as a pallbearer carrying a literal headstone, surrounded by artists, weirdos, fashion icons, and people who absolutely understood the assignment.

This week on Blazy B, I’m talking about what happens when you get thrown into the deep end at work and have no choice but to figure it out.

One coworker goes on honeymoon, everyone else is out sick, chaos erupts—and suddenly I’m juggling two jobs, learning on the fly, and surviving purely on confidence, questions, and caffeine.

You ever host friends and end up needing a full week to recover? Same.

This week on Blazy B, I’m coming down from the high of an epic friend visit—mountains out, vibes immaculate, itinerary fire—and breaking down what actually makes a trip like that work.

We’re talking:

-Hosting vs. visiting expectations

-Why “I don’t care what we do” is a lie

-Money convos (yeah, we’re going there)

-The magic of the “non-negotiable” activity

-And how to not low-key resent your friends by day 3

Because let’s be real… traveling together will either bond you for life or test you real quick.

You can love your friends, hype your friends… and still feel weird when they hang out without you. Let’s talk about it.

This week on Blazy B, we’re unpacking FOMO, friend group dynamics, and why your friends having other friendships isn’t a threat—it’s actually a good thing.

Relax. It’s not that deep. Let your friends have friends.

What if instead of feeling jealous or left out, you became your friends’ biggest fan? In this episode of Blazy B, we’re talking about the power of surrounding yourself with people who are thriving—and choosing to celebrate them instead of competing. From travel to everyday wins, this is your reminder that empowered people empower people… and that energy is contagious.

Peace Corps friends, a frozen lake in Connecticut, a weekend-long assassin game, and a polar plunge through ice. Just another reunion with the homies. In this episode of Blazy B, I talk about the magic of keeping traditions alive, playing like kids again, and why doing things with your friends matters.

Dearest Gentle Reader,

What a season that was! Benedict is such a cutie and deserved love! I absolutely love Bridgerton, how it builds so many stories and moments, and gives you the ending you're hoping for. The actors do such an incredible job conveying their emotions, it's such a beautiful thing. Are you a Bridgerton fan?

For someone who loves to explore higher frequencies and feel everything the universe has to offer, this trip hit me hard. I always thought a bad trip was just negative thoughts that got the best of you, but this was different. My thoughts were going. My throat was closing. And I basically accepted my death. Has anyone ever had an interesting experience on psychedelics that they want to share??
