for every sensitive creative who feels stuck right now 🦋 i posted something i've been working on for a while. it's the story of how i went from lost and ashamed to confident and creating with purpose. three years ago, i didn't know myself. i let people take advantage of me. i pushed away my creativity. i felt broken for being sensitive. then, i learned creative alchemy. in this video, i share 3 steps that transformed everything for me. if you're in that "before" place right now - if you feel stuck, lost, or like you're hiding your gifts - this is for you. comment "ALCHEMY" below & ill send you the full workbook 🌙 the gem alchemy blueprint has waaay more insights and goes deeper into each step & it's completely free! let's do this transformation together 🦋

the parts of you that you hide are the parts people need to see 🦋 we spend so much time curating our "artist persona" that we forget the messy, weird, painful parts are what make the best pieces of art & people will connect to the most. here's mine: - growing up in predominantly white catholic schools taught me to perform normalcy - to laugh at jokes that hurt, to stay quiet when i had questions, to make myself smaller so they'd feel comfortable - i've spent so much energy trying to be understood that sometimes disappearing feels easier than translating myself to people who don't speak my language - i come from a family of immigrants and being first gen means i'm too american for my family and too foreign for everyone else - i exist in this painful in-between that shaped everything i create - my sensitivity made me feel broken until i realized it was my gift - i still sometimes wonder if i'm "too much" your turn. drop ONE thing about yourself that you usually hide. the thing you think makes you "too sensitive" or "too weird" or "too broken" to be a real artist. because i promise - that's the thing that makes your art healing. comment below 👇 let's normalize the messy human parts🫀

it’s the last month of the year, and naturally it brings up a lot of reflection: sometimes uncomfortable, other times beautifully introspective. as artists and creatives, we’re so quick to jump into “what’s next” that we forget to pause, celebrate ourselves, and show gratitude for what we’ve already created… for all the ways we’ve shown up. i know so many of you have a piece of yourselves you’ve shared or have been wanting to share. so tell me: what are you most proud of creating this year, and what inspired it? it can be anything. big or small. unfinished or polished. don’t hold back, this is your safe space. i love exploring the minds and hearts of other creatives, and i can’t wait to see a glimpse of yours💛✨

hey guysssss✨ i just opened a new space on here called share your he(art), a space for you to share your art, your reflections, your writing, your photos… anything that feels like a piece of you. don’t be shy. post the things you’re proud of, the things you’re still trying to understand, the things you’ve been creating in silence. your voice matters here💛 we’re all artists and creative souls here. a lot of you have been wanting a space to share your art, and now you have one. i can’t wait to see what you create and share a few pieces of my own too🎨

new youtube video up: 4 ways being sensitive changed my life☁️ i used to hide my sensitivity and spent years apologizing for feeling too much. this video is about how that changed. i also made something for you!! 7 journal prompts that helped me re-frame my whole sensitive experience. this is one of the tools that helped me (still does) view my sensitivity as a superpower instead of something to be ashamed of (day 4 STILL gets me😩) if you want them, drop "journal" below and i'll send them your way🤍 (they're soft but powerful, just like you) watch here: https://youtu.be/kA7FtOirZO0?si=d-4aVqNSHiFY1NfH
