• As an empath, my heart is carrying with it the weight of the world. • Simultaneously, I carry the work within myself that must be done. See as a Latina and POC, I too can do better. • In Meghan Markle’s recent graduation address, she quoted a past teacher who said “always put others needs before your own fears” and that hit me really f’ing hard. • This quote on top of current events reminded me of the work I once was so passionate about. Work I boldly stamped on my body just 8 years ago while fighting for human rights beside my Black and Hispanic LGBTQ sisters and brothers. Which also seems fitting considering it’s Pride month 🏳️‍🌈 • The work that became complacent, because I became “busy”. The work that was silenced because I was no longer listening. Perhaps unconsciously fearful to say more. • Doesn’t matter. I’m here and my ears and eyes are open yet again. AND if this resonates with you as well, I challenge you to look inward and explore whatever is or once stirred inside you. • I could close by sharing resources, places to donate or organizations I’ll personally be supporting, but this journey is yours and yours alone, so I’ll leave that part up to you my friend😘

  • Feeling so.many.things with a side of constant processing and an effort to understand. But I still love you and I will continue to love you because If we lose that, we lose it all. • This is bigger than you or I or how we feel. Feelings aren’t enough. This is CHANGE. It is ugly, beautiful, heartbreaking, and hopeful all in one. • So I’ll tell you again and probably three more times, I love you. Today. Tomorrow. Always.🖤 #blacklivesmatter

  • Where all my fellow brides at🙋🏾‍♀️ • Planning a wedding right now, well, it’s a lil tricky. Our food tasting went down today via takeout, I should probably finally hit purchase for the bridesmaid dresses since they’re coming a la the UK and we’re 6 months out, oh and flowers? Yea those feel completely optional at this point! • Yet, I sit here smiling, heart happy and thankful🖤 • If this wildly ambiguous season has taught me anything, it’s that not every destination needs a roadmap✨ The journey will be whatever we make it and this one, well, I wouldn’t want to walk through it with anyone else. • So cheers to change, choosing to control what we can, and celebrating what’s to come, even if we have no f’ing idea what that looks like✌🏾 • 📷 by the beautiful @mariah.lillian.photography

  • Eh-hem, can I snag ya for a second? • Have you heard the biz buzz about a life changing course and a once a year live online training with a rumored 450,000+ human attendees happening TONIGHT?! • Before we break into that treasure chest, let me share a short story with ya... • 6 years ago I was scrolling on FB as part of my typical mindless morning routine before literally dragging (more like rolling) myself out of bed to get ready for a job I hated with all my heart. • It’s crazy, because I can remember those mid-scroll feelings as if they were yesterday: ✖️Envy for those “remote” lifestyles that seemed picture perfect. ✖️Angry that I had “picked the wrong path” and paid a lot of money for it. ✖️Disappointed that I’d never have enough time off to actually adventure. ✖️Doubtful I’d ever have the resources to take the leap or the expertise to enlighten others. • Can you relate to any or maybe all of these feels? • That’s when I got tired. Tired of wishing. Tired of wanting more. Tired of waiting!! So I took my first step forward towards my new future and invested in my very first online course. Guess what, I’ve never looked back since👋🏾 • The thing is, we all have innate superpowers! We all have the power to impact and an obligation to serve the world with these gifts of ours. Even more importantly, WE have the right to be happy and create lives we unconditionally love. • Still with me? I hope so because if you’ve made it this far, you’re my people and you get it! • I’ve never felt more alive and committed to showing women what’s possible. MY inspiration and fearless leader @jennakutcher shows me that every.single.day. AND guess what, she’s showing up BIG time tonight to show you too 🖤 • She’s bringing the mom jeans, girl power, so much heart and her undeniable brilliance to the big screen for a totally free live training that will show you how to extract the knowledge you already possess to not only impact the world, but build the business and life you might still be longing for. • I challenge you to show up, explore the possibility and get hardcore hype girl with me and women everywhere as we cheer on our girl!! • Save a seat next to mine 😘jennaslink.com

  • What.a.day 🙌🏾 • Today was this guys birthday!! He’s really my best half ♥️ Almost 4 years later and I still feel so flippen grateful I swiped right ( and I’m laughing as I type that ) but it’s the damn truth!! High five @bumble who would have knew?! • The only thing he’s asked for as we’ve wedding planned is a professional shoot in the snow and darling, I didn’t disappoint!! • We thought we’d never get the right weather at the right time and with both of us being super busy at work it just didn’t seem possible; yet, here we are! • Feeling forever thankful for flexible schedules, kick-ass wedding photographers like my girl @mariah.lillian.photography and Ohio’s erratic mood swings that gifted us probably the one and only snowstorm of *winter* this year at the rate we’re going👌🏾 • Ps. Yes I totally just reposted this. I mean ( The preview landed in my inbox and I couldn’t help myself!!!😭) • • 📷 by @mariah.lillian.photography
