Every year, my favorite meeting isn’t glamorous, but it’s deeply meaningful. It’s the one I have with my accountant, Lucy Correa-Macias. I met Lucy 18 years ago when my first son was still in a stroller. It was my first time filing taxes on my own, and I was completely lost. I walked into her […]

Okay, so let’s get one thing straight: I’ve never played chess. Not once. I don’t even know the rules. But LIFE? Oh honey,  that’s a game I absolutely know how to win. And right now, I’m living proof that you can win too. I’ve spent the last decade learning how this human experience really works, […]

Let me be real with you… Everyone talks about Human Design like it’s this magical, life-changing tool (and it is), but when I was first introduced to it? I felt nothing but rejection. People were raving about how they felt, how things finally made sense, how this chart reflected their truth. And me? All I […]

I used to hate mornings.The sound of the alarm was like a personal attack. I’d hit snooze over and over, dragging myself out of bed in a fog of frustration. I didn’t want to talk to anyone. I didn’t want to look at anyone. I was tired, cranky, and disconnected. Back then, mornings were something […]

It might sound wild, but I’ve spent most of my life playing small, even while achieving massive success. From the outside, I looked accomplished. But on the inside? I knew I wasn’t living in my full power. I was dimming my light to make others comfortable. Holding back my truth because I thought I had […]

When I first sat down to write a book, I thought it would be called The Magic of Gratitude. But after chapter two, I stopped. My inner voice said:“Who’s going to read this? You don’t even like to read.” And that voice had a point. At the start of my spiritual journey, I didn’t want […]

Yesterday morning, I made sweet love to myself…On my yoga mat.In my mind.With my heart wide open. This may sound poetic or even unusual—but it was profoundly real. The Power of Mindful Movement Yoga has become one of my deepest spiritual tools. When I have a teacher who cues well, I often close my eyes […]

There’s a story I’ve never fully shared publicly until now. Because someone out there needs to hear this. For years, I lived in chronic back and hip pain. The kind of pain that makes you cry yourself to sleep… and again when you wake up. The only time I felt any relief was when I […]

Shame.It was the background noise of my life for as long as I can remember. Shame as a child over my body.Shame as a teenager for not looking like “them.”Shame as a young woman, trying to fit in while feeling unworthy in my own skin. And that shame… spiraled. It showed up in the way […]

I grew up in a culture where positive reinforcement wasn’t the norm. Compliments like “you’re beautiful” or “I’m proud of you” were non-existent. Instead, I was met with sarcasm, teasing, and heavy criticism of words that, even in translation from Russian to English, could make someone cry. And if I did cry? I was told […]
