Friends, just do the damn thing! If you’re waiti

Friends, just do the damn thing! If you’re waiting for a sign to start something new, here’s your sign: you’re gonna suck. Do it anyway 🩷

This may just be the nudge you need. Give yourself some grace. Stop expecting ti be perfect the first time and just… try. Learn. Grow. Give yourself the gift of sucking at something and I promise you, you’ll open up a whole new world for yourself 🩷

Save this for when you need a reminder and send this to anyone who needs to suck at something new 😘

☀️Solar return = new beginnings Thank you for

☀️Solar return = new beginnings
Thank you for the birthday wishes🥰! Your calls, texts, DMs, posts, and presence (and presents) meant the world to me. I felt the love—I deeply appreciate each of you. As I start my New Year, ready to savour each moment like the icing on the cake, I’ve been reflecting…

Through strikes, lockouts, and political turmoil, we (actors and so many others) kept hearing “survive ’til 2025.” I had no idea that I’d be taking that literally…

2024 was not the year I hoped for. From the outside, you saw the wins and joy - and they were there - but not the challenges, struggles, and moments in between.

💉You may remember my TWO anaphylactic reactions in 2024, including the last one— so traumatic, physically and emotionally, that I’m still feeling lingering effects. It’s a stark reminder that I almost *didn’t* survive ’til 2025. It’s easy to sit in that…to think how seconds could have changed everything.

But here’s the thing—I DID survive. I was surrounded by love, healed, and uplifted by amazing family, friends and even some strangers— people I am eternally grateful for.

And I learned. Grew. Became.

Became more ME - stronger, bolder, wiser, more aware…

Became a new me— really just the old me now carrying the lessons, reflections, and best parts of myself (and let’s be real— some of the not-so-great parts, too,) while letting go of some parts that no longer serve me.

Because every day, every heartbeat, every tear, every drop of sweat, is an opportunity— to grow, evolve, learn, and become

Become who?

Well, that’s the thing about this journey. We can become more or less, evolve or regress, stand still or move forward. And you know what? Whoever you become, it’s neither good nor bad— it’s just a stop on the road to your next season of becoming.

How do I wrap up this birthday thank you note-turned rambling reflection? Hmm…

In 2025, I don’t just want to survive - I plan to THRIVE. And grow. And flourish. And show up— for myself and for others— like never before.

I’m still here (allergies, you will not win this lol) Get ready for me to be louder, bolder, and HERE.

In pjs, cozy, lounging with a good book because Penny says that snowstorms are made for hibernating and being lazy #LazySunday ❄️🐶🌭

Halfway through The 12 Week Year and I’m LOVING it! Should I start sharing book recommendations?🤔

✨ Watch me manifest kindness (and a snow plow) in real-time ✨

The synchronicity of talking about kindness during snowstorms and then—BAM—a freaking snow plow showing up 1 minute and 8 seconds later is NOT lost on me. 🙈🩷

Snowstorms are pretty, annoying, and magical all at once. ❄️ The silver lining in all the chaos? They bring out the kindness in people. Whether it’s lending someone a shovel, giving them a boost, pushing them out of a snowbank, or helping them dig their car out, I’ve seen so much generosity amidst all this snow, and I absolutely LOVE it.

And the cherry on top? The kind snowplow driver who came to my rescue—just as I was talking about it! 🛻✨

How has this snowstorm been treating you? Tell me in the comments ! 👇🏾💬

F-bombs 💣 are my middle name (and yours too) L

F-bombs 💣 are my middle name (and yours too)

Listen, I don’t make the rules—I just enforce them. And the rule is: when self-doubt creeps in, when fear starts getting too loud, when you’re about to do something big, bold, or downright terrifying… you say your full damn name. Capital F. No hesitation. No small energy.

Because here’s the truth—you are powerful beyond measure.

You are more capable than you realize. And sometimes, the only thing standing between you and the life you want is simply reminding yourself who the eff you are.

You think Beyoncé questions who she is before stepping on stage? Do you think Serena second-guesses herself before serving a 120mph ace? Absolutely not. And neither should you.

So next time you need a boost, you already know what to do. I want you to stand tall, take a deep breath, and say it with your chest. Loud. Proud. Unapologetic. Because you were made for this. Go be great, my loves 🩷

🔥 Drop *your new* FULL NAME (with our shared middle name, obviously) in the comments. Let’s hear it! 👇🏾
