Beginnings
Ready. Set. Takeoff.
January 2022, I opened my business, a dream I’d been working towards for years.
It meant being autonomous; exploring every layer of my human-ness through movement, touch, and travel; sharing my passions with others; AND making money!!!
During my first week of business, I boarded my first solo flight to a bodywork seminar.
During my first month, I surpassed my parent’s monthly income.
It was sweet.
I had been handed this business, really.
I worked for my former boss for 5 years, and after some soul-searching and company restructuring, I was the first to spread my wings. My boss gave her blessing and allowed me to take any clients who wanted to go with me. I will be eternally grateful for her and our growth together.
(We can still be spotted together, playing in nature and diving deep with plant medicine—check out her new business endeavor—a fully electric Cacao Van).
I anticipated a full amazing, wild, prosperous year.
What I did not anticipate is that by May 2022, I would lose my closest friend, guide, and confidant—my Mama.
And by July 2023, I would also lose my brother.
Loss and grief are interwoven into our existence.
They are amazing teachers, and they also create immense vacuums that we can fall into, learn to fill, or grow around.
While I thought this last year and a half was going to be about me aligning and spiraling with my ultimate career, purpose, and success, I am actually learning how to hold myself, how to heal, how to grow, how to be more compassionate, and do all the things I really, deeply wish I could teach other people to do for themselves.
I think I’m being given an amazing opportunity for growth, and, if I can continuously come back to gulping the sweet nectar of Radical Grace, this might be the most beautiful transformation I have experienced yet.
This blog is a glimpse of me, where I come from, my tools for self-care, and my process.
It is a work in progress, writing itself by the moment in my lived experience.
Life’s a Flow— here’s me learning to Align and Spiral with it :)
Thanks for reading my first entry!!!
