I’m doing what I said I wanted to do.

And it feels great.

Beautiful. Aligned. Delightful. Authentic. Supported. Nourishing. Nurturing. Loving.

Last month I facilitated two guided journaling sessions in Long Beach (my first time selling out a workshop!) and Los Angeles, my fifth and sixth workshops of 2026, only three months into the year. I feel excited about this momentum. It feels like the right time - the Energetic New Year, Spring, Year of the Fire Horse, Mars entering Aries...

2025 was a big learning curve year for me. Exactly one year ago I parted ways with my freelance marketing clients, ending my contracts, and returned to a local stationery store part-time while I focused on developing Moonrise Mindset. It was a move toward greater alignment - one I wasn’t entirely sure I was ready for, but did anyway.

Earlier this year, I came to the realization that keeping a part-time job for nearly the entire first year of Moonrise Mindset split my finite energy and time more than I’d hoped, especially at the end of the year where the shop naturally became so much busier. In a decision I didn’t entirely make on my own, I was offered a gift to end the year focusing on rest. Wintering, healing, and resting took priority.

Now?

I feel the fire in me.

Moonrise Mindset is my focus. Not someone else’s social media account, or getting ready to support guests in a retail space. My own Mindset coaching practice, clients, workshop offerings, brand, voice, merch, musings, writing, and energy.

I can’t help but recall a time a few years ago where I told a marketing client that I really desired to begin writing again. I told another client that I wanted to create and dedicate a social media account for sensitive people, curating content that would allow folks like myself to feel more seen.

I pictured myself facilitating and speaking about my experience - growing up, navigating corporate life, transitioning to a more aligned path, and the steps I took to get where I am now, and where I’m headed...
