The Art of Coming Home to Self
When I started Wild Awake Woman, I didn’t fully understand the depth of what it would mean to come alive. I thought it might look like growth, transformation, or even reinvention. And while those elements have their place, what I’ve discovered is that the essence of what I’ve been building and living is far simpler—and far more profound: self-realization.
Enthusiasm as a Superpower
What makes life feel most alive to you? Is it the thrill of adventure, the quiet hum of a passion project, or the unexpected moments that surprise you with joy? For me, there is one thread that connects all these moments: enthusiasm. A word so vibrant it seems to radiate its own energy.
Let’s CREATE A New Year!
Every January, there’s a pull to grab the planner, map out the weeks, and chart the milestones. But this year, I’m weaving a different approach—one where planning and creating work together to shape my year with both intention and flow.
A 2025 Intention I Didn’t Know I Needed
I came across the French word flâneuse in the book Joie: A Parisian’s Guide to Celebrating the Good Life by Ajiri Aki, and I was fascinated by the concept. A flâneuse is an artful wanderer, someone who strolls without a destination, savoring the subtleties of life. In a world so focused on efficiency and achievement, the flâneuse chooses presence—pausing to notice the dance of sunlight on windows, the aroma of fresh bread wafting from a bakery, or the unexpected laughter of strangers.
What if Joy is the Compass, Not the Prize?
I spent much of my life believing joy was something to be earned—something that came after I achieved a goal, solved a problem, or navigated a particularly challenging season. But over time, I’ve discovered that joy isn’t just a fleeting feeling that punctuates the milestones. It’s a guiding value, one that whispers where to turn next, what to embrace, and what to let go of.
What Does It Mean to Thrive?
A new year has arrived, and with it comes the undeniable energy of possibility. It’s a chance to pause, reflect, and step forward with clarity into what we’re ready to create. For me, 2025 feels like a year of refinement—a year to align my life, my work, and my purpose more deeply with what feels true.
A Year of Becoming a Wild Awake Woman
As this year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the path it has taken—twisting, turning, at times steep, but always leading me closer to the heart of what it means to live wild awake. It has been a year of loss, discovery, and quiet celebration—a collection of moments that have shaped not only my work but also my soul.
