What’s up, my people?! It’s a solo episode today—just you and me catching up on all the juicy things happening in my world lately. From Hawaiian-themed Bachelor parties to major mindset shifts, this year is already off to a glow-up start—and I’ve got a lot to share.

Plus—I’m sharing my current fave morning journaling practice that’s been helping me stay grounded, aligned, and energized AF.
And yes, my throat is a little scratchy (#allergies), but the vibes are strong. Let’s gooo!
