In a week I’m moving across the country by myself. While this has honestly been the plan for a quite a few years, it still feels crazy… and surreal. I haven’t lived anywhere else other than New Jersey in my 33 years of existence. My roots are here, my community is here, my lessons are here. But it’s time for a new chapter.

While 2024 was one of the hardest years of my life, I know that it was the year for me to really make some big decisions. For the first time I had to let go of everything that made me comfortable in order to step into my next level. The universe made SURE that I was wildly uncomfortable, left with zero ego, unattached to material things, and free from those who wished harm on me. Last summer my life changed drastically after my Summer Solstice Retreat. I think it was all the full moon releasing that we did that weekend, but I was literally left with nothing.

Summer of 2024:

I lost a good number of clients due to inflation & the economy… but also catty energy, jealousy, ego and entitlement (fortunately those who were not aligned with my values)
