Said goodbye to Baltimore and hello to the wild west mountain life. We traded prime 1-hour deliveries for prime 1-hour sunset watch parties. We\u2019ve rewilded. And I\u2019ve finally become the conscious cowgirl who was always inside of me begging for me to let her take the lead.<\/p>\n<p>My word for the year, \u201cAlchemize,\u201d served me well. It encouraged me to drop victimhood and embrace total ownership. Went from walking on eggshells to stomping the shit out of them with no guilt or remorse. But rather power and new medicine, knowing it never serves anyone to make yourself smaller for others\u2019 perceived comfort.<\/p>\n<p>We experienced deep grief and pain in loss. And even deeper love and abundance. Last year, I said that 2024 was my best year yet. But 2025 certainly took the cake for me.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because in the Year of the Snake I alchemized every wound into wisdom. I let go of hoping people would change. I shed the story that life was hard and would always be challenging. I stopped looking for evidence to back up how alone I was.<\/p>\n<p>And instead, it expanded and grew into not taking things personally. Setting badass boundaries queen vibes on the regular. Collected facts of how loved and supported I am. And knew that my life\u2019s destiny is literally playing itself out before my eyes &#8211; no question.<\/p>\n<p>That all happened because of the INNER WORK, the VALUES ALIGNMENT and the commitment to the JOURNEY, not the destination.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Here are my top 25 of my 2025 milestones I\u2019d love to recount with you:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>1. Began my homesteading journey in Baltimore, learning how to grow hydroponics and in a grow tent.
