Secret Garden

The pattern that has ruled my life has been overwhelming workload, no support, and a constant state of total chaos. And I’m done with it. The second I put my foot down, though, more chaos followed. But these are the cheeky lil hurdles we must overcome when shifting out of a deeply rooted pattern. Today I’m talking about the small steps I’m taking to shift out of this old pattern and into a new reality.

Note: I’m an expert at having this problem. I’m a beginner at figuring out a solution.

The societal expectation to have a partner gets extra loud around 30th birthdays. Louder than on Valentine’s Day. So, I tried to manifest a partner and a 30th birthday trip with said partner, all before I turned 30. It sort of worked – not in the way I expected – but it was even more magical than I could have imagined. This is a story of what happens when you face the worst-case scenario and choose to celebrate yourself no matter what.

Today we’re talking about the thing that kept me hiding for over a decade: acne. I was stuck in a state of “trying” to fix the problem, until I got publicly shamed (in-person) for having acne. And within 6 months I had clear skin. I’m sharing the acne treatment protocol for clearing the most painful cystic acne, even when you’ve tried everything.

Happy hours were fun until I started getting vulnerability hangovers. My friend was done with my surface level shit. She wanted to know the real me. As scary as it was to be vulnerable – especially with a friend who started as a co-worker – it was a relief to no longer hide myself for the sake of belonging. I’m exploring what happens when you shift from belonging to authenticity, using Sabrina Carpenter’s journey as an example.
