Hi Fam ♡
I want to continue to dive deeper into my journey and some of the things it’s been teaching me—about healing, alignment, and what it really means to come home to myself. My hope is that in sharing, it helps you reflect on your own path, whether that’s in healing, trusting yourself more deeply, or making shifts that bring you closer to the life you want to live.
For years, healing has been my full-time job. Not because I wanted it to be, but because it had to be.
When I first learned that mold toxicity, Lyme disease and parasitic infections had been silently running my nervous system, hijacking my mind, and keeping my body in a state of complete dysregulation, I felt both relief and grief. Relief—because I finally had answers. Grief—because those answers came with the weight of a continued long road ahead.
And for a while, that road became my entire world and in many ways, it still is.
Detoxing, binders, drainage, nervous system repair, parasites, gut healing, brain rewiring, endless supplements, reintroducing foods, avoiding foods, peeling back the layers of what felt like an endless loop of “one more thing to fix.”
Real Talk,
There’s been deep grief that comes with this—watching everyone around me in their 20s seemingly just living, traveling, going out, falling in love, building careers, and not having to think twice about their health. Instead, my days have been filled with protocols, fatigue, recalibrating my nervous system, and saying no to things I so badly wanted to say yes to.
For a long time, I felt like life was happening without me. But as much as I’ve experienced moments of that grief, deep down, I’ve also always known—this is my path for a reason. This journey has shaped me in ways I never could have imagined. It’s led me to depths within myself that I might never have explored otherwise. And I trust that this season, as isolating as it has felt at times, is leading me somewhere I’m meant to be.
And yet—what I’ve learned in the past few years is that healing isn’t just about the body.
Healing Isn’t a Checklist…
At the beginning, I thought healing was about doing all the right things, removing every last toxin, getting my body to a place where it was "fixed." I followed the protocols to a fuckin T, cycled through hundreds of supplements, learned everything about literally everything…
But the deeper I went, the more I realized:
I could do everything “right” and still not feel fully free.
Because healing isn’t just about clearing toxins or killing infections, although this is the foundational first step…it’s about feeling safe in your body again. it’s about learning how to come back home to your true essence.
I know I talk about this a lot, and it’s because illness isn’t just physical—it’s a messenger. I truly believe that sickness manifests when we are not living in alignment with ourselves, our truth, or our deeper calling. Our bodies hold so much wisdom, and when we ignore that wisdom our bodies step in to wake us the fuck up. And if you can truly understand that, it will change everything. When I finally did, I stopped fighting my body and started listening. And that shift—from fixing to trusting—has been the most profound lesson of all.
Life Lately,
☁️ Going to the apothecary and creating personalized dreamy tea blends
☁️ Long trail walks in nature
☁️ Treating myself to alternative holistic treatments like acupuncture and massage
☁️ Creating vision boards and continuing to daydream
☁️ A ton of detoxing and taking supplements
☁️ Exploring creativity as medicine—blending herbs, making candles, getting lost in little projects that bring me joy.
It’s been a season of softening, trusting, and letting myself just be—and honestly, as hard as that is for me, it feels really fucking good 💫
If you’re somewhere on this road, know that you’re not alone. And even if the “health stuff” doesn’t fully apply to you, this journey of alignment, listening to yourself, and trusting your own path is something we all move through —because at its core, that’s what “healing” truly is✨
I’d love to hear what’s been going on in your world lately? comment, email back or DM me! I love connecting with you
Hugs!!☁️
