I'm on a journey of peeling back the layers of programming to remember who I am at a soul level. I live by—and filter my decisions through—my four authentic pillars:

• 👯 Connection—My connection to something bigger than me, to myself and my soul, to nature and animals, to my people and to strangers. What are we here on this earth for if not to experience it with others! My relationships are sacred to me, and I hold them close to my heart.

• 📝 Growth and learning—I LOVE learning new things. I seek out opportunities and conversations that expand my understanding of the world. I'm always listening to an audiobook or podcast, and reading an actual book in an attempt to satiate my thirst for knowledge. I love to share what I've learned—synthesizing my understanding for friends, family, and anyone who will listen.

• 🌱 Nature & harmony—nothing is more regulating for my nervous system than being in nature. Creating time to spend outside every day is not only a balm for my soul, it's what keeps my anxiety at bay. I strive for harmony rather than balance—different aspects of life take up different amounts of time and energy, and that changes like the seasons. I find combinations that amplify my life instead of overwhelming me.

•  🤸 Adventure & exploration—as a Virgo, I love structure and daily routines, but too much routine feels confining. You have to leave room for magic! Which is why I always have a trip booked. I've written about how different locations have different frequencies and how that affects how we show up in the world. Going new places is like playing cosmic dress up—there's so much to learn from different cultures.
