Some things don’t need a formula to be digestible —just a safe place to be said.
This isn’t about being motivational. It’s about being real.

Before you can move forward, you’ve gotta call the thing what it is-in real time.

That’s where I start. Always!

I'm over on substack if anyone wants to follow this wild journey🤗

The assumption about a life you’ve never experienced only deepens the divide between where you stand and your willingness to truly grasp the raw reality we live in.

💙What are the assumptions you've heard — or once believed — about homelessness?

💯 This is a place of growth, honesty, and learning through the rebuild.

I’m a teacher, a learner, and a viber of life. Some days are whimsical, some questionable, and some are rooted and raw.

I speak from my soul with no holds back, offering insight from a place of compassion and experience.

These past few years have been filled with on-the-spot, fill-in-the-blank moments—and a lot of us are navigating this new era like newborns.

So, if you feel lost, at your wits' end, or starting fresh on your life’s journey, come hang out here at this station. Let’s man—or in my case, woman—the ups and downs together.

Shoutout and welcome to all who’ve recently joined me on this unorthodox ride.

This is not a drill, nor do I have the time, patience, or energy to be playing. This lifestyle does not have room for it!

My time is precious and every move I make is crucial to my stability and mental sanity.

Not every offer deserves your energy. Not every person earns your presence. This season requires certainty—not potential.

I almost burst into flames but I'm dealing with the heat as best as I can for me.

Sometimes we need to say some ish!

I speak from a place of honesty and real-life resonance. I can be silly and sarcastic, but there are days when having a cup of tea and getting raw about life is the realest solution.

If you’re looking for relatability, honest life truths, and content that’s 100% preservative-free—come join me over on Substack.

It’s free to subscribe, a space that’s less algorithm and more authentic.

Sleep and I have been at odds 😩

I've come to the conclusion that sleep is definitely a distant memory and I may never see its depth of reasonable rest again! Just call me Ms.Only 4 Hours!

They say, "Just ask for help."
But they don’t talk about how raw that feels when you’re barely holding it together.

I’m not writing this for pity—I’m writing this for visibility. Because the reality of surviving in between house sits, cat naps instead of sleep, and doing Uber Eats just to keep our only roof (our car) isn’t a sob story. It’s life.

I shared a post on Substack that dives deeper into this emotional weight—how hard it is to stay vulnerable while fearing judgment or silence.

If you’ve ever been here—or are here now—you’re not alone.

This is survival, raw and unfiltered.
Wandering? Maybe. But we’re not lost.

Listen here, Suezy and Joe
(Who the heck are they? Exactly😅)

I’m not built to be SpongeBob SquarePants or some hamster-wheel dweller. That’s just not my style.

I live for raw truth. Unapologetic existence. And the kind of storytelling that cracks you wide open, not packages you up nice and neat for algorithms.

To hell with the restrictions.
Frack YouTube. Yup—I said it. You’re welcome.

I’m back in my bag. The raw version. The Nomad. The Wanderer. The Truth-Speaker.

And I’ve got a new space for us.
A space that sees the real-life movie too many of us are cast in.
Unscripted. Unfiltered. Unpretty—but powerful as hell.

Check out my new space over on Substack.
Follow me there if you’re ready for something real.

Welcome to Wandering Out of Limbo.

Sorry but I won’t shut up! Check out my new post!

I'm laughing my ARS off!🤣🤣🤣 No, not at that dog pic!

Well, maybe a little!😅

I executed an experiment yesterday based on a thought: "Does the Youtube algorithm favor simplistic and non-thought-provoking content and/or are people seriously more into content that doesn't remind them of the hardships of life at this time?"

Most of the videos that gain the most traction are food, pets, religion, and money-making tactics. Vlogs are becoming popular, but that varies, and vanlife vids are teetering.

For weeks I have been putting out content that has been relatively the same as always: emotional wellness, reflection, encouragement, candid talks, etc. The views have been low AF, sometimes even in the single digits.

Yesterday I put out a cute video of this dog I'm sitting for, and it got over 800 views🙄.

So, is my theory correct?

Stay tuned for more on this topic via my blog!

Hot, home cooked meals are far and few between on this wild ride but when we do have time (and the place) to make a meal, we get creative!

Stay tuned for more nomadic flavors.

Happy Saturday 😋

Rebuilding life from scratch isn’t for the faint of heart. But even in the struggle, we can do our best to pave a way forward and add a little Jem and Holograms flare to this unorthodox design!

Personally, I'm a Misfits fan but the 80s theme is the theme. 😁

So, what can we do to help gain our footing in style?

💰Reevaluating Your Budget- “It's truly Outrageous” with the cost of things nowadays so evaluating what comes in and goes out can give some insight. Even if you make pennies a week, it's good to look at what you're spending. And yes, sometimes it's not always feasible, but with this imperfect lifestyle comes imperfect alterations and that's okay!

🍽️Meal Plan (as you can)- Yes, there are ways to eat both hot and cold meals while living this unorthodox life. And you don't have to sacrifice quality or settle for boring to do so! 🥪Jazz up a sandwich with some mixed greens and hummus or put a spin on some chicken strips by turning them into a wrap and adding some sriracha dressing and broccoli slaw. Check out our mommy and daughter channel MEH, We Do Things for some meals we've created while Housesitting (and roaming), and stay tuned for a blog post on how we saved money by recreating a popular restaurant's dish!

✨Incorporate a bit of Glam- Who said you can't look pretty on this wild ride! Utilize places like 5 below for some cute lip glosses, cozy socks, and odd hair accessories to spruce up your wandering look. Or find a sassy graphic tee to add to your retro fabulousness. I love my sarcastic T-shirts!

🐶Need a place to stay? Try house-sitting! House Sitting or Pet Sitting is a way to not only find a means of rest in various areas for FREE but you get to sit for some amazing pets. To find out more check out my housesitting guide and sign up with Trustedhousesitters for 25% off.

🥳As I've said since the New Year, “It's YOU Season” and just because you're living in your vehicle or house hopping doesn't mean you have to cultivate the societal view of instability.

Show them what you're working with!

Being a Black individual is trying AF, and I’m not just talking about the discriminatory disruptions or biased societal views. I’m talking about the strain to uphold cultural values and civil boycotts while trying to survive.

I’m diving deep into a topic that’s been on my mind: How do you stay true to your values when survival forces you to compromise?

My latest blog, “The Cost of Conscience: Struggling to Boycott Anti-DEI Businesses While Barely Surviving,” unpacks the tough reality of balancing survival with ethics as a Black woman and a nomadic traveler.

This isn’t just about survival—it’s about how survival can force you to bend the very principles you want to uphold.
