To My Beautiful Friends,
What would you do for love—to get it, to keep it, to hold onto it?
For a long time, my answer was everything and anything. Even when that bankrupted me.
A few years ago, at Ludlow House in NYC, I stood on stage and put words to a story I’d spent six years taking apart, piece by piece, just so I could understand how I got there.
I called it PIECES OF ME. <<< click to watch :)
I admitted to the room my role in my infamous 2018 breakdown—my desperate, hollow need for love and validation to fill the void in my chest that screamed bottomless.
It was part dark comedy, part keynote, part monologue.
Full confession.
Definitely a somatic release.
Absolutely, all raw, messy, unbridled truth.
But mostly, it was a home-coming.
TURNING INSIDE OUT
So what was my breakthrough moment?
I stopped looking outward for a solution and turned inward.
I stopped ignoring my reality and started initiating a new one.
I asked myself:
What could I do to live my life differently?
How could I love myself as fiercely as I had always loved others?
My inner voice spoke. The instruction was simple: Follow what you love.
So, I took action. I didn’t follow a guru. Step by step, I followed my own intuition and created my own framework. One I still believe in today—a pathway home. And...
Breadcrumbs appeared. Curiosity grew. Answers unfolded. Confidence returned. Trust built. Joy resurfaced.
I became whole. I was home.
MY INVITATION TO YOU
Ask yourself:
What is one thing you can change today?
How could you collect a piece of yourself and bring it home?
And, remember—if you need a life hack to get started: I discovered healing doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s simply truth, dedication to self, and the relentless pursuit of your own light.
And breadcrumbs.
P.S. Change is a collection of tiny, honest moments. Celebrate each one.
P.P.S. My breadcrumb trail: Below are links to steps in my discovery phase. No desired outcome, pure exploration, many fab memories.
