Hi!

💝 I have a gift for you. It’s a guide to peeling off layers of expectation, finding your voice, and taking action. But before I share it, let me tell you a bit about how this guide came to be.

💛 It comes from my heart. I was a shy kid and struggled with crippling shyness well into my 20’s. Over the years, I adopted personas to adapt to certain situations. Work, social groups—you name it. Over the years I felt the weight of external pressure to be this way or that. Somewhere along the way I received the message that being who I am, being how I am, was not OK. Especially in the corporate environment. At work, I attempted to push these parts of myself away and adopt a persona, but never able to fully step into. It didn’t serve me well.

💛 In March 2020, I traveled to Costa Rica for a yoga retreat. It was bliss. Nothing to do but be who I am. I started creating a workshop to rebel against this persona. I was set to teach it in real life, but the country went into full pandemic lockdown. I was back home, back at work, and I let it fade away.

💛 In February 2024, I traveled to Bali for a Yoga Retreat and returned VERY RESTLESS. My quiet, quirky, passionate, creative self was pretty much erupting. 🌋 🔥 I took time to reconnect with some of my favorite creative endeavors—playing guitar, making jewelry, writing. Once again, I felt that sense of bliss I had experienced four years earlier in Costa Rica.

💖 I felt inspired to dust off my old workshop and gave it a name: Set Me Free. This week, I created a guide to hopefully inspire others to reclaim their voice.

🎁 Here is your gift:

“Set Me Free Guide: A Journey to Reclaim Your Voice”
