It’s my day off but really that just means a day to focus on my purpose. Lately, I’ve been super intentional about my time. I use it to heal, to grow, and most importantly — to create. 🙂

It’s blissful to finally be in the groove with my soul’s work. You guys have witnessed my ups and downs with productivity; fighting and eventually coming to terms with the lulls in my creativity. I finally managed to surrender and rest. And through that journey, I came out on the other side, to this highly inspired chapter. I can’t lie — though I honor all of my seasons, the season of “doing” is my favorite.

I’ve been bursting with inspiration and actually taking action on it. I can’t do everything at once, but I have a solid list I’m working towards. Each day that I’m not at my job, or each morning that I’m free, I’m happily chipping away at those projects. I’ve been reflecting lately on what I went through to finally reach this flow state.

I took time to rest, to sit back as ideas moved through me that I couldn’t find the words for. I critiqued myself for not producing, and learned to love myself harder through that. I became deeply frustrated with my day job and looked for ways out that didn’t align with my purpose. I had some trauma resurface. I fell, diving head first into my calling.

I didn’t really have a choice, because creating is what I need to heal. That is how I know this is my purpose. Because through this work I make sense of things, bring light to my own darkness, and hopefully inspire you to seek within as well.

The only way out is through. And as I navigate some difficulties with the goal of alchemizing them into something useful and beautiful, I naturally realign. By that I mean: I remember who the fuck I am. I am a creator, and so are you.

Each season has a purpose. Each feeling matters. Each experience is a teacher. May we continue to alchemize them into something beautiful — whatever that means for you.

Video: My Breathwork Experience

In this video I talk about my experience with breathwork (thus far). I have tried doing it with an online course, and recently in a class format. I share my current experience with some troubling emotions & how breathwork has helped me. I also discuss why it’s important to tune into our bodies and to process our feelings.
