    🌟Aries season is here and we’re making room for miracles—the unexpected magic that life has to offer when we stay open to it.

Plus, with Trans Day of Visibility around the corner, we’re celebrating the beauty, strength, and resilience of the trans community. Let’s step into possibility, honor visibility, and welcome all the magic that’s waiting for us. ✨💖🏳️‍⚧️

    💖Happy full moon and lunar eclipse everyone! I’m getting vulnerable about those deep, sneaky feelings of being unlovable and how they mess with our self-worth. Turning 31 has me reflecting on growth, healing, and what it really means to embrace myself—flaws, fears, and all. So if you’ve ever struggled with feeling enough (spoiler: you absolutely are!), let’s talk about it. Grab a cozy drink, and let’s get real together. ✨💕
