✨ Glimmers – those little sparks that make us pause, catch us mid-breath, and fill us with gratitude.

They may seem like tiny moments of beauty and joy, but when noticed, these glimmers can have HUGE impacts on our lives.

In a world that praises doing, producing, achieving… it’s easy to overlook these small moments of magic. 🪄

But when we slow down, glimmers remind us how extraordinary this wild human experience truly is, grounding us in gratitude, connection + the present moment (the only moment that actually exists!).

How often do you pause to notice the glimmers around you? 👉🏻👈🏻

I encourage you to find as many glimmers as you can + share them - with friends, family, strangers, anyone, really… because joy shared is joy multiplied. 🌿💫

In fact, I triple dog dare you to find as many glimmers you can find + watch how it changes your life. Don’t believe me? Guess you gon’ hafta try it for yourself + see. 😉

And when you find those glimmers, take note.
Heck take a picture, + say out loud, “This is happening right now!” + savor the moment just a second longer.

And if you share your glimmers on the interwebs, tag me so I can celebrate with you! 💛

Sunsets, seafood, beaches, birds, frogs + southern hospitality.

There’s something so magical (to me) about the South
🌳the Spanish moss swaying in the breeze
🤗the kindness in every smile
⏳the slower pace of life
🏞️the rivers winding through bayous, marshes and swamps
🪶the abundance + diversity of wildlife

Nature is alive in every breath, vibrant and full of life.

It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe but somehow speaks fiercely to the depths of my soul ✨

Is there somewhere that keeps calling you back or that holds a special place in your heart?!

Summer 2025 girls trip is ON! 🙌🏼👯‍♀️

Picture yourself soaking up the adventure vibes with an incredible group of badass women in one of the most breathtaking spots on the planet—will it be the towering peaks of Banff, the dreamy Dalmatian coast of Croatia, or the sun-kissed shores of Greece? 🌍✨

A full week of connection, epic exploration, and pure magic—off the grid and into the wild. Off the screens + adventures packed with unforgettable moments.

But first… Where are we headed?

One of the greatest skills I’ve learned in life is how to trust myself.

How to trust my inner voice (when she’s not being a twatwaffle), my gut, my abilities, my track record (I’ve survived 100% of my days so far!).

But here’s the thing: you don’t just wake up one day and magically trust yourself, right?! You have to build it. (RUDE, I know!)

I’ve spent years doubting myself—my capabilities (physically + mentally), my worth, my value, my ability to feel, and my ability to “make something of myself.”

The unrelenting standards are eXhaUstINg. And honestly? It’s all bu****it.

When I actually stop and look at my track record, I’m doing pretty damn well. So why am I wasting time worrying…

Will this work out? What if it doesn’t? Can I actually do this? What if I fail? What if I’m not good enough? What if it all falls to pieces? (Anyone else feeling stressed out reading this too or just me?! 🤣🫣)

I’ve lost YEARS listening to that voice.
But 👏🏼 not 👏🏼 any 👏🏼more.
I’ve let my feral forest troll out of her dungeon—and she’s never going back 🧌🧌

And I found her again by spending time in places like nature, on mountain tops, under a barbell, as a business owner - places that remind me just how capable I am.

Life’s too short to obsess over things that are out of our control. We’re all going to fail. Not everything will work out. We’re going to make mistakes. That’s life.

But here’s the real kicker: if you can look yourself in the mirror + take an honest look at how far you’ve com, how badass you are—then you can trust yourself to handle whatever comes next.

Say it with me: WE’VE GOT THIS 👉🏻👈🏻
And keep repeating it until you actually believe it.
(And doing s**t that proves yourself right 👊🏼)

Sure, things will fall apart, but if you trust yourself to figure it out (because you always do), you’ll stop wasting time worrying about it now.

This is how life slips away—when we’re too busy worrying about everything except the present moment.

That’s it. Love you. Bye 💛🤙🏼✨

Is it just me or is demure not the vibe?!

Every time I see use or say “very demure” - my eyes roll back a little 🙄

Did I miss the memo or something?!
Or am I just getting old?!

Whatever it is + wherever it came from, I’m not having it 🙅🏻‍♀️

Maybe it’s cause I’m not made to be demure (I’m not sure I could even if I tried real hard 🤣)

What I’m here to do is:
🏔️Summit mountains.
🌳Hug some trees.
🌻Frolick in wildflower meadows.
🌱Melt into moss.
🪵Play in the woods.
🫣Swear, probably a little too much.
💁🏻‍♀️Forget to brush my hair.
🧌Dig in the dirt.
🦶🏼Run around barefoot.
🤙🏼And to have a dang good time.

Where my fellow feral friends at?! 🧌
Come say hiiiii + share your favorite swipe 🤙🏼

Alaska photo dump days 4-7

TEAM FEAR-LED 🤘🏼

As we sat around the campfire, together in Alaska for the last time, we talked about what it means to allow fear to guide us.

Chasing our dreams alongside our fears, learning to quiet the voice that says we can’t + embracing the pure magic that’s on the other side of facing that fear.

Whatever those fears are - whether it’s summiting a mountain, saying yes to a once in a lifetime adventure, traveling with strangers, showing up as our authentic selves or something else … allow those fears to guide you, they’re worth chasing 🤙🏼

Catch us cruising the gulf of Alaska, hiking alongside Exit Glacier to Harding ice field, weathering sleeting rain to touch Byron glacier + sharing joy, stoke + wonder.

Our eyes + bodies are tired, but our hearts + soul cups are filled.

Adiós Alaska - we’ll be taking a piece of you with us + leaving pieces of us with you.

Cheers to an adventure we’ll never forget 🤙🏼

Nothing can stop us, we’re all the way up 🤙🏼

The stoke. The excitement. The awe. The joy.
I can still feel it all.

This was one of the dopest hikes I’ve ever done from fern filled foliage to wild flower meadows against the beautiful mountains, glacier + ice field.

The juxtaposition of the greenery against the snow, the clouds + the ice is something that is imprinted on our souls forever.

Nature has the most epic way of showing us just how capable we are, how incredible this planet is + keeps us humble in all the best ways.

Watching these badass women crush this hike (we gained over 3000ft of elevation in ~4.5 miles), bond, unlock core memories, laugh + soak in all the magic filled my soulcup to the brim.

Memories + feelings I will tuck deep inside my heart + carry with me as I continue to live life wide, open + fully ✨

Exit Glacier + Harding Ice Field - you are epic + wild + absolutely magical. Thank you for sharing your beauty, your history, your joy.

Alaska - your magic is something that will live inside of us long after we leave (even if you tried to kill us in the process 🤣🤝🏼)

This trip has me itching to meet more badass, feral, wild, adventurous women, to connect in real life, to share epically, unforgettable adventures + to make memories that will last a lifetime.

Grateful doesn’t even come close, but it’ll have to do for now 🏔️✨🙏🏼

Alaska, here we come! ✈️🏔️

I can’t believe a year has flown by since we first dreamt up this adventure + shared stoked in our group chat! AND NOW IT’S FINALLY HERE!! *pinch me* 🤩🤩🤩

We’ll be spending 7 days exploring the wilds of Alaska - camping under midnight sun, soaking in life magic, laughing in nature + locking in core memories. It’s going to be unforgettable! ✨

To say I’m STOKED feels like an understatement.

It is never lost on me what an honor and a privilege it is to have these magical adventures with some of the most amazing women. And how lucky I am that I get to do this as part of my job. The amount of gratitude I have is overflowing.

I’m eternally grateful for these opportunities to connect with rad women (like you) in REAL LIFE, in nature + to create core memories, together.

It’s incredible women like YOU that make these trips possible. So thanks for being here. Thanks for being you. And thanks for the support!

I cannot wait to share our adventures with you and to hopefully have a magical adventure with YOU in the future!

Want to join me on my next all women adventure? We have just 4 discount spots left for our Yellowstone trip! Don’t miss out! 🥾 Yellowstone is calling, are you gonna answer? 😉

Have you ever felt the magic pulse through your veins in the wild and wonderful (and a little bit weird) West Virginia?✨

If you haven’t, RUN DON’T WALK! 🏃🏻‍♀️

From the emerald giants ⛰️ whispering secrets in the breeze to the crystal-clear waters singing their joyful songs, every inch of this state brims with awe-inspiring beauty.

I had no idea just how magical and breath taking West Virginia is.

We got to spend the weekend camping and hiking near Cherry Grove, conquering Spruce K**b, feeling the rush of exhilaration at Seneca Rocks + soaking in all of WV’s beauty.

It’s seriously an adventurer’s magical paradise - overflowing with stoke + enough natural splendor to leave you speechless.

I’m still gushing 🥹😭✨

Have you ever been to West Virginia?
Where did you go and how much did you love it?
If you haven’t been, is it on your list?!

If you’re ever searching for glimmers or proof that there’s magic in this world … all you have to do is look up ✨

The sky has a way of reminding us how magical this life is from breathtaking sunrises, awe-inspiring sunsets + the magic of the night sky lit with sparkling stars + basking in the moonlight…

When you stop + really think about it… we’re on a spinning rock, hurtling through space, lit by a giant fireball... that’s pretty magical, ya know?

Do you believe in magic? Drop a ✨ if you look for magic + glimmers too!

Sometimes life be life-in’…

I try very hard to show up here in a positive light, but it’s hard to do when you’re not feeling your best, ya know?

And it’s not for a lack of trying…
✔️I’ve made gratitude lists
✔️I’ve sat in nature
✔️I’ve talked to friends
✔️I’ve gone for bike rides and walks and spent time in the woods
✔️I’ve rested + relaxed + decompressed

Yet I’m still just feeling some typa way.
And I’m trying to just be okay with it….
Because I know this will pass, sometimes you just gotta ride it out, ya know? 🌊🏄🏻‍♀️

Anyone else get stuck in a funk sometimes too? I’d love to know what do you do to help yourself get out of it 🙏🏼✨

Been dreaming about Costa Rica + this magical adventure since I left 🥹✨

Today’s been one of the days where I keep wondering what possessed me to get on a plane and come back to NJ 🤣🫣

And I can do is day dream about this incredible place + the amazing women I spent a week soaking in the magic with

It also makes me SO FREAKING STOKED for many more magical adventures and adventuring with feral forest troll friends 🧌🌳

Where’s the most magical place you’ve ever visited?!
