Getting older = liberation?

Hey friend! I’m back! Hand clap! I’m 40! LOL. If you know me IRL or follow me on socials then you’re probably so damn tired of hearing me say this but, bear with me friend! Your girl has been waiting her entire life to be 40! It’s really interesting how some people view 40 as the beginning of the end but for me it feels like a divine rite of passage that comes with liberation and wisdom. 

I remember being a young girl and so many of my friends were dreaming of marriage and kids which is beautiful but I was always dreaming of the woman I would become. I grew up in the suburbs of Minnesota and as a kid I often felt judged whenever I tried to express myself in an authentic and bold way. I couldn’t wait to move to a place where I could experiment with how I dressed, spoke, created…

Eventually I moved to NYC. I’ve had many fashion eras, I’ve tried almost every hairstyle (including shaving my hair completely off) and I’ve had the space to deeply explore who I am from the inside, out. Most of this exploration happened in my mid 20’s-mid 30’s. By the end of my 30’s I felt less rebellious and more confident. 

Now that I’m at the very beginning of my 40’s I am free to be whatever it is that I feel in the moment. I’m not trying to prove anything or impress anyone. Some days I feel like putting on a brightly patterned bodysuit with a bold hat and some days I’m in a t-shirt and jeans. I have many different characters that exist within me and I am at a place where I have the capacity and confidence for them all to shine. 

Scorpio season has been digging up some of our worst nightmares! Ok I’m being dramatic lol BUT… I do feel like we  are in a period when problems/blocked emotions/unsaid truths are coming to the surface and knocking on our front door. They want to be released from that deep, dark subconscious basement and set free. Sounds easy right? The only catch is you have to do the work of transforming the issue otherwise it’s only going to partially be released and the rest will slink down, back into that basement and wait for the next opening to come bother you. The good news is we are in a time when our ancestors and spirit guides can be more easily accessed and they would LOVE to help us out. It’s time to slow down, get clear and work through the hard stuff. Remember to give yourself lots of love and compassion. I just posted a youtube video on how our manifestations want us to slow down. If any of the above resonates this video might be helpful to you. 

Ok, I know I went on and on about how my affirmation cards were coming out in October but unfortunately they are going to be pushed back. I put a lot of thought and effort into my affirmations + my art and I don’t want to release anything that I’m not 100% happy with. With that being said… I have the cutest gift release coming! See images above for a preview of the “Shapeshifter” hoodie, “Worthy by Nature” mug and “Protector” print. These items will be ready for purchase by November 14th. I’ll let you know as soon as they are live on my site!
