My heart is hurting this week. I’ve tried to write this post three times now and my words are failing me. I wanted to write an inspirational message that reminded you to double down on self care. But it felt trite and unnecessary. Now that I’ve had some sleep and the smallest amount of time to process I just want to say that I’m disappointed. I wanted to see a female person of color in leadership in the White House. I have a huge amount of fear for the bigotry and hate that we’ll endure in for the next four years. And I’m so so incredibly grateful that I have the tools to process whatever emotions come my way as we navigate through this. 2016 stung like a slap in the face for being a woman. 2024 feels different. Like we’re both closer and farther somehow. This is certainly a setback and if I’ve learned anything from my work as a recovering fearful avoidant setbacks are in important part of the process. But they seriously suck when you’re in them. So that’s what I’ve got. Please take care of yourself and drink some extra water. Love, acceptance and connection will always find their way. 💔

I cried after eating this gluten free churro because I thought I would never eat churros again after quitting gluten. Four years ago I would not have been able to acknowledge my tears let alone display them in public. Acknowledging feelings is a really tough process for dismissive avoidants. It feels so unsafe. Like it has to been done in private if it has to happen at all. But the best part of acknowledging my feelings is that I get to move past them. I cried, it was done. It didn’t linger. If you’re an avoidant reading this please know it’s possible to begin feeling your feelings. It will help create meaningful partnerships in your life. It’s a slow process but it can be done.

Celebrating Indigenous People’s Day with my Indigenous family. I still find strands of white supremacy and patriarchy clouding my judgement and decision making. But a huge part of raising my son has been questioning the “rules” of the parenting and making it our own. Sadly it means that things like cosleeping and watching tv arent talked about. So I’m posting a photo of us all in bed which is how we have slept every night for the last 2 years.
I celebrate indigenous folks of past, future and present. We have so much to learn from you. And we have so much to repay. You make this world a much more interesting, rich, and connected place to be. 🌎❤️

I don’t want to excuse this behavior but it is helpful to understand why they create space so you don’t take it personally. I know it feels personal but it’s their way to protect their heart, avoid vulnerability and conflict, and “process” on their own. Yes, they are the love wolves of the attachment spectrum because they had to be growing up. How do you manage the space that your avoidant needs?

Announcement time. Hi folks, friends, and family. I have been slowly using this account to grow my relationship and communication coaching practice over the last 5 years. I originally used this personal account because it actually had followers and I was sharing weekly episodes of my podcast, now called Lit AF Relationships. So many of you have sent me words of encouragement over the years that have helped fueled me in this endeavor. Please know I am so grateful for your support. Now I realize I’ve been holding back on this channel because you represent a mix of personal and coaching connections. So, I’m making the official shift. This account will be dedicated to creating secure attachment for a healthy relationship. If you would like to follow along in my personal life, please head on over to There you will see jumpsuits, crocs, croc charms, and many baby photos. If you are not interested in the relationship content I share on this channel now is the time to unfollow or mute. I promise you won’t hurt my feelings. I want to make sure I’m helping the folks that need it and that means showing up fully as a relationship coach in this space. Thank you a million times. This is my personal passion to share this work with the world.

I’m obsessed with this show. It’s funny, it’s weird, and most importantly stars indigenous folks and stories.
The last episode I watched shared the heart wrenching story of being captured and enslaved by Catholic missionaries. White supremacy at its finest.
Now I’m probably the last person to figure this out but in fourth grade I studied California missions, the very same institutions responsible for the genocide of over 60,000 indigenous folks. The story told to me was they were safe havens providing food and shelter to everyone passing through. Bu****it. They were torturing indigenous slaves, robbing them of their freedom and expression, and exploiting them for profit. Why on earth are we preserving these buildings with federal grants and glorifying their history? It’s insulting and triggering for indigenous folks. Destroy them or Rematriate them. And definitely stop teaching false history to our future generations. It’s not fair to anyone.

This week on the Lit AF podcast I interviews Jessica Fern, author of Polysecure. We had an amazing conversation about attachment, polyamory and nonmonogamy, and how to heal your attachment with a partner or multiple partners.

Her book Polysecure book gave me so much insight into the attachment system and the gifts each attachment style brings to the world.

Jessica also paints a cohesive and inclusive understanding of how our environment shapes attachment including school, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic standing, our relationship with mother earth, and so much more beyond our relationship with our parents.

I have learned so much from her, it was an honor to have her on the show and share her wisdom with all of you.

I’m in a big week of relaxation. It’s pretty deep and profound. I remember at 3
Months postpartum when I was sharing with my accupuncturist that I was going to back to work to build my biz while taking care of my son. She told me it was too much and I needed to focus on him. In my mind I thought this was the most privileged statement. Fast forward 4 months later while I’m on vacay and I finally get it. This week I got a download that I should open up more on here about the reality of building a business. I’ve been protecting it because I’ve been making it mean things about me. Things like, I’m not enough right now because I don’t have everything figured out. Another big one was I have to make money to be worthy. Believing these thoughts put a lot pressure on me to rush to figure things out. But, when I’m rushing I’m not learning. Im not evaluating. Im not serving. I always want to be in service to you no matter what. My ego and my pride are less important that helping you. That’s been the biggest learning. And you better believe I’ve been using all the same tools that I teach to reprogram these beliefs. Now in this time of rest I’ve been getting all kinds of ideas about how to serve you better. As always, that accupuncturist was right. Sometimes we have to live it in order to understand it. 💕
What’s the advice you didn’t take that later you had to learn on your own?

I filled my cup this weekend at a Burning Man regional event. These events are steeped in fun, silliness, community, pageantry, and ritual. It hits a lot of my needs including creativity through my fashion. It really is like going to adult summer camp. Summer camp was my favorite growing up so I’m glad I don’t ever have to stop going! Of course when I got home I was beyond tired and needed a full day of rest. But sometimes taking care of certain needs is in direct opposition of other needs. And that’s okay too! How do you fill your cup? If it’s humor I hope these memes can help!

A lil’ Monday meme for y’all. I spent the weekend in deep self-care mode. Which looks different now that I have a baby. He is constantly changing which means his needs are constantly changing. I’m still coming down off our first three months together where he needed me constantly. That level of attention left me on high alert. But now that he’s older he’s more independent and better about asking for his needs. Which means my high alert energy has been spinning with no direction. So this weekend I worked on grounding myself. Sounds so simple…right?!?! Of course it isn’t. I kept catching myself making to do lists, rehashing past convos, and brainstorming ideas for the new living room layout. But I was so compassionate for my beautiful brain that just wants to help me. AND I stuck with it. I know one weekend isn’t going to change this forever but it’s the start of a practice. And today I woke up feeling so rested. Wishing you and your gorgeous brain some restful self-care no matter how simple that looks.

I found a wild artichoke on the street in San Francisco. The plant was gorgeous and bushy. It’s funny how fruit is teeny tiny on the plant and quasi resembles what it will grow into being.
You know I want to turn this into a metaphor for healing but I won’t. Instead I’m just going to marvel at the fact that I’m able to slow down and enjoy plants.
Recently my mom was staying with me and taking care of my son. She commented that I have a plant in every corner of my room. I used to have a real knack for killing plants. I would over water them and then completely forget about them until they were gone for good. Lol. Now that is a metaphor for my fearful avoidant attachment style. One foot on the gas and one foot on the brake. Poor plants. I knew I wanted to get better at it so I asked my friends how they took care of plants. Just a little water, consistently, with a minor dusting here and there. My plant journey has been slow, and not perfect, like I just learned I have to feed them every couple of months. And sometimes I lose one. But it’s an area I’ve grown a lot of confidence and it’s taught me so much about getting consistent and curious. And THAT is a beautiful metaphor for healing.
