As a self-proclaimed lover of all things self-care, I never miss an opportunity to remind people it should be a non-negotiable in the daily routine, even if you feel like you don’t have time (you do).

When it's time for a Pinterest moodboard and a new wardrobe, you know it's serious... I thought the pivot out of societal expectations...

“We’re eliminating your position.” In that moment, I wasn’t scared. I was relieved. For months I’d been stretching myself thin, auditioning for opera companies, clocking into a full-time job, and trying to share my love of self-care and making things beautiful online. I was chasing balance but living in burnout. Somewhere along the way, I started mistaking survival for success.
