a Spotify playlist curated & arranged by yours truly, with love. Fly away… Growing up, music has always been central to my life. From putting on piano recitals for my grandma to dancing to Elvis records with my Omi to picking up the drums in high school – music fascinates me. I tend to look…

body image & autoimmune disease: a journey into the healing process. part one: skinny does not equal healthy. From high school tennis to running track and then to working out excessively during my freshman year of college, I was extremely fit. I will not say healthy because my heart was filled with sadness and my…

what does it mean to be free? This simple question was at the center of my mind, body & soul throughout 2018. In January, I was recovering from a really heartbreaking end to a relationship and I was severely depressed. It was one of the few times in my life I have hit rock bottom……

starting my journey to that #debtfree life. I’ll start this out with a bit of honesty – I have never been good with managing my money. I’ve been working since I was 16 and I don’t have much to show for it. Besides paying thousands of dollars for school, I can’t exactly place where all that other money went. My mom…

a photo exploration. Below you will find a short series of photos I took with my iPhone on my recent vacation to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. ⁣Ever since I was diagnosed with Celiac disease (in 2015), walking has been immensely healing for me – somewhat of a constant when it comes to what my body…

I dedicate a block of time every Sunday night to mentally & emotionally prepare for the week. This usually consists of working on my planner, setting goals, meditating and cleaning my room. Tonight, I picked up my iPad – connected my speaker & blasted my favorite worship songs. I sat on the end of my…

The fresh air. The sunshine. The water. The Earth is one of the greatest healers. This past year I’ve realized that spending time outside is something my soul needs. It is essential to my healing process – my growth. Spirituality is the foundation of my life and the natural world is a place where I…

an exploration in photography. Below is a photo series taken on two separate trips: one cross-country road trip from Chicago to California & another road trip from Chicago to Florida (and back). These photos represent moments of freedom from these trips taken throughout my college years. Both trips happened during a huge transition period in…

Let’s be honest, I’m over it. When it comes down to it, I’m tired… more like exhausted. This year has been a LOT… nearly too much honestly. I think many of us are hitting breaking points, but I want to be real for a few minutes… & this post might be a bit messy, but…

A short story on being a woman and having a body… I was looking through old photos when I came across this video of me playing piano on a short weekend trip to NYC. My friends and I were exploring the city when we came across this piano in a park next to a beautiful…

“Oh, morning sun, heal my pain.” This morning, I woke up to a new moon: a new day, a clean slate & a new beginning. We, as a collective humanity, have been faced with trying times in the midst of this global pandemic. One might ask, where do we find peace? How does one cope…

Hello again my friend 🙂 It’s great to be back… After writing about the passing of my grandfather last month, I have been struggling as to what to write about and how to express certain things I’m dealing with. I’ve been going through a period of instability as well as uncertainty. Honestly, I just haven’t…

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing. At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket…

metamorphosis + spiritual freedom + feminine energy My spiritual journey has taken me many places. I’ve learned that each time a door opens or closes – certain symbols follow or proceed. Throughout the past couple of years, I have noticed butterflies coming across my path. If you look at the photo below you can see…

How Her Music Defined My Decade It feels like a lifetime transpired between 2010 to 2020. From a little girl – to a teenager – to the young woman I am today: I had so many “firsts” during this time period. My first time in high school, my first time playing tennis, my first kiss,…

Last year, when researching the topic of womanhood and feminism for my senior design project, I never expected to discover the things I did. I knew woman’s issues stretched over hundreds of years and touched on many topics. What I did not know was how much health + wellness affected women. While combining my passion…
