a gentle Paris vlog, plus words and thoughts on the challenges of this year
NOV 26, 2025
A slow, tender glimpse into a couple of my weeks in Paris…
Come with me to a meeting in the centre of the city, witness an unexpected rainbow, and join me for a handful of honest chats about life lately. I share my approach to wrinkle prevention and my boundaries around phone use, why I started my business in the first place, and how it’s evolving in ways I never expected. I also discuss what it’s really like navigating female friendships as an introverted adult.
I also open up about the season I’m in: intentionally reshaping my social circle, letting certain relationships go, and sitting in that in-between space where things haven’t yet fallen into place. It can feel lonely and disorienting… but also deeply beautiful, empowering, and necessary. This is the heart of taking responsibility for our lives… the exact work I teach inside CLEAR.
If you’re in a similar chapter, or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes of my days, I hope this vlog feels grounding, comforting, and human.
Hey love,
I will share more soon as I continue to emerge from the shell of this year.
For those of you, who are also starting to dust off the ashes and rise from them… this is the literal tail end of it, an extremely difficult 2025.
I am so confident in our collective grace, changeability, softness and flexible resilience. We have passed through so much. The gift lives in the pain.
Here is to our rising. To a new season of life ahead.
