What are some ways you show up for yourself?

01/01/2026

2025 - you taught me a lot about resilience and strength. I learned the importance of going inward, of retreating from the outside world and focusing on my own. I found a deeper connection to my children, and I understand what true friendships look and feel like. I nearly lost my brother, and I had to say goodbye to some friends who are now on the other side. This year was a doozy.

I had a mirror held up, and it wasn’t all pretty, but it wasn’t all bad either. It made me look at myself, to look at my triggers and complex trauma in the deepest way, and I was given the choice to stay the same or grow-and I chose to grow.

I’m not one to ever back down from something I love, when pushed into a corner I don’t break down, I find space and get creative. There were times that I thought I might have to close my doors for good, but this work that I do is my life path, and even if I tried to veer off my path, I’d find myself back here again. So I pivoted, I found a spark, a sparkle of inspiration and decided to jump feet first into a project that is bigger than I could have imagined and has reopened my creativity which was something I feared I had lost.

I played music in the most beautiful venues, I played for people who were grieving, who were celebrating, I played for the babies, and the elderly, I played for myself. Music and Alchemy are where I find peace, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to live this dream and continue to grow and evolve with it.

Over the next year I will be opening Radiate Collective, leading with love and connection and a way to help people live to their fullest with my partners, Staci and Shannon. I have many more sound baths and collaborations planned, I will be offering QiGong and am certified as a QiGong Master which focuses on the body, mind and spirit, the elements, the physical and non-physical. I am so excited to bring more opportunities for growth and expansion this next year.

So cheers 🥂 to you, and thank you all for your continued love and support. I am more grateful than you will ever know, and I hope you feel the love I send back to you.

Welcoming 2026 with open arms!
