today on regardless, i wanted to use my platform to create space for victims of the la fires. for this episode, we have my dear friend bella who has come on to share her story. born and raised in the pacific palisades, bella experienced firsthand what it’s like to watch her community burn down.

⚡bella describes growing up in the palisades as an idyllic, close-knit community where everyone knew everyone. her family has deep roots in the area, making the loss of both of her parents' homes feel like so much more than just losing a place to live

⚡bella discusses how the fires impacted her daily life, from losing her high school to her favorite erewhon store and the pilates studio that she teaches at

⚡she opens up about balancing her own shock and grief after learning about her parents’ home losses, all while being a support system for her family, boyfriend, and his family through the tragedy

⚡the conversation dives into the emotional toll beyond material loss—how it affected their sense of safety, memories, and community

⚡bella shares lessons on resilience, healing, and supporting loved ones through the aftermath of a natural disaster

let’s stand together, stay strong, and stay resilient, regardless <3
