I recently had the opportunity to experience something I neeeever would have considered for myself, if it hadn't been for someone else inviting me to try it. I wouldn't have sought it out on my own, because I brushed it off as too "out there" for me. For context...
I shared a personal reflection on TikTok recently about asking for - or admitting that you need - help. In particular, I was sharing about how these things often exist outside of my comfort zone. I think we (collectively) agree that asking for help should be okay. We...

Why AI won't replace artists + how it mirrors the collective shift towards greater spiritual development Artificial Intelligence (AI) is capable of producing unique, interesting, and complex creative works. Is it art? Who’s to say. The debate over the definition of...
If you’re someone who chooses to live your life differently than how you were brought up, or from the dominant ways of being in society / the culture you grew up in, it’s possible you’ve come up against resistance. External resistance, of course, but internal...
I recently released the first of a three-part collaboration with my friend and fellow self-portrait photographer, Irene. In episode 1, we discuss the power of self-portraits to strengthen the connection to self, and we each share more about how self-portraits have...
Getting started with self-portraits can seem daunting. It's easy to get caught up in the technical things, like... How do I pose? What do I even do with my hands?? How do I take the photo? Do I need a fancy camera? I don't know anything about taking good photos! I...
Want to see what a guided self-portrait session can look like? Check out my session with Jill! Jill had been talking herself out of doing maternity photos, but had concepts in mind she kept coming back to. So I helped her bring these ideas to life during her first...
When I was 24, I was working part-time at a grocery store while I finished my master’s degree. After I graduated, I kept the job while I searched for a better job (and/or an opportunity to travel). It was in this job, in that uniform, that a man asked me for my...
Wherever you’re at in your life right now, if you just know that things aren’t quite aligned for you, or you don’t feel fully satisfied with how you show up in the world, it can feel really overwhelming to even think about what to do about that. Like, where do you...
I had this realization (or reminder) recently that, for as long as I can remember, I have believed that one of the biggest things we’re here to do in this life is get to know ourselves. I believe that we are always getting reacquainted with ourselves, over and over,...
I’ve talked about different ways to experiment with self-expression and I teach about how to use self-portraits as a tool for self-exploration in a solo, low-stress environment. Unleashing your full expression and existing in ways that feel honest for you are really...

Identity vs Self-expression Like your identity, your self-expression is not static. It changes over time, and I’m sure you’ll see exactly what I mean if you look at a few old pictures of yourself, or even reflect on how your interests and hobbies have evolved over...
I started an OnlyFans account in October of 2021 to have a place to share my uncensored sensual self-portraits. I felt stifled by Instagram’s policies. In some ways, I felt angry because it felt so unfair. I did and still do think of my OF account as its own act of...
When I was little, I wanted to be a blue dog. I wanted to be an actress, or a model. I wanted to be an adventuring archaeologist, like Indiana Jones. A marine biologist. A veterinarian. A spy. A lawyer. A writer. An anthropologist. A photojournalist. People ask you,...
I decided to start writing this series mostly as a way to approach human design with a bit more fun. I find we can get wrapped up in the wealth of information and all the technicalities of it, that it starts to feel draining (said the projector with open head and ajna...
I initially posted my minimal skincare routine in October 2021, but after triggering what is (probably) perioral dermatitis I needed to change things up a bit. Since PD could be caused/triggered by different things for different people, it can be challenging to...
