I’m all about mind, body, spirit wellness and talking about the nuances of our human experience as energetic beings, but one thing I barely talk about is what we put in and on our bodies and how important they are to our overall lives. As I get older, I’m more into investing in pieces that feel amazing, give me versatility + longevity, and are crafted well versus paying less for quick, trendy pieces I’ll only wear a few times. ie. I just donated my winter coat of 5 years. We repeat outfits and get USE out of stuff on this side. So, here’s my first style unboxing courtesy of some #gifted pieces from my friends at @fpmovement ✨ Everything is linked in my @shop.ltk page – there’s a button to it in my stories + the link in my bio. Going to keep updating it with [anything] I use and love moving forward so make sure to follow me there! Which piece was your favorite? I’m going hiking is this weekend and can’t wait to hit the trek looking like the vibrant ting 🦄✨

Story Archives // Giving this a permanent spot because: • After ~9 years of creating content about mind, body, spirit wellness, it’s important to me that people know that the point of it IS change. For me and for the world. • To remind you that it’s totally cool to unfollow an account if you don’t vibe with them, but it’s also cool to unfollow because their content just doesn’t serve you where you are anymore. Don’t wait until you scoff at a post to leave. If you’re not looking, liking or engaging because it resonates, make sure you’re leaving. Edit your feed often. • To remind you that someone’s shift into another human experience doesn’t determine where you are in your life and how you should feel about it. • To remind you that no one that creates on the internet is obliged to keep creating the same type of content. Even if you ask, or worse, ridicule them. 📌 Pinning this for a while because my content and offerings are shifting into deeper authentic feeling, more wisdom, more life, more grace, and more beauty and joy because that’s my lens these days and because I want to be clear about the type of educator, practitioner, creator, and artist I am. If this resonated for you, I’m glad it found you. If you learned something new, I’m glad too. ❤️

One big #unboxing! I’ve had some of these packages since May, ya’ll 🥲😩😅 The cons of having a really cozy, organized home office is that all things have a cozy, organized place. So happy I FINALLY got to open these up. Shoutout to those that sent these packages through! Thank you @growthnotebook 📖 Thank you @myndmap 🧠 Thank you @sakaralife 🍵 Thank you @naturessunshine 🌿 Thank you @klepone for gifting me @despierta.one ✨ Should I do a giveaway when I get back to NYC? Which product(s) would you like to receive if you won? Let me know in the comments and I might pick you 👁

33, I love you more than I could have ever imagined. Completely immersed in love, beauty, and SO much gratitude. Thank you for all of your beautiful messages already. I’m boomeranging all of it back to you! ❤️‍🔥 So grateful that I got to document my rebirth making art with @thaisaquinophotography. What an incredible experience. Thanks to my husband + daughter for all the BTS footage that helped me create this letter to my past self. ❤️ Stay tuned while I celebrate life + love all June long 🦋✨

Part II / What does it mean when we say ego posing at our higher self, and how do we deal with it? Such an important conversation that we’ll continue to have. What is coming up for you as you watch this? 💭

FREE Virtual Event // I'm leading a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 in partnership with @elmuseo and I would absolutely love for you to be there.⁣ ⁣ Rebirth is in the air, and while it may be a cycle some of us are ready and willing to bear, the surrender necessary may be difficult for the rest of us.⁣ ⁣ If you're reading this and have been having trouble immersing yourself in your journey and/or you need a moment to pause and get some clarity, this Soul Circle could be a piece to your puzzle.⁣ ⁣ From guiding inner city high school students to a group of executives at Facebook, Soul Circles are near and dear to me. They are a powerful virtual ceremony I've been leading since 2018 allowing for a warm and welcoming space for beings to connect, first with themselves and then in community.⁣ ⁣ To learn more and register while spots last, click the link in my bio or visit @elmuseo’s website. I hope to see you there. 💡⁣

Shared this in my stories and felt like it needed a permanent place. ⁣ ⁣ As #Jupiter, planet of expansion, and #Neptune, planet of dreams and spirituality, come together in dreamy #Pisces in a once-in-a-lifetime way, use this energy to connect with the Universe so that it can amplify your dreams of a better experience, but ALSO dream of a better experience for the world. Shift into Aquarian energy, an energy for all.⁣ ⁣ Thinking of those affected in the attack in Sunset Park, BK today. ⁣ ⁣ (My apologies for all the street noises.) #MelSantosMsgs #OnMelsMind

A super quick meditative moment for clearing + grounding + protection you can take anywhere you are. May we repel the low vibrations so we can observe them as the teachers they are. 💌

Ya’ll said YES, so here’s the cosmic insights for this week, a members-only offering that you’re getting an exclusive scoop into because I feel like the world needs these messages. Let me know what strikes you and why in the comments. ❤️ Learn more about becoming a member in the link in my bio.

Clips from my diary.⁣ ⁣ (At what age do we stop calling it diary and start calling it a journal?)⁣ ⁣ This was a 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 for me. One of those moments when you stop doing a day-to-day task because you suddenly realize how smooth the process is and how peaceful your heart feels. A moment where you realize how you hard you worked and how much you had to surrender for the ease that you’re currently experiencing. ⁣ ⁣ Bliss, yo. And I deserve every second of it.⁣ ⁣ To be real, I’m grappling with a difficult emotional season but my gratitude is on major high every single day I get to walk through my apartment, over to my studio, and sit comfortably at my desk to create and connect. One of my biggest intentions realized.⁣ ⁣ Stay tuned for the 2022 Claim of Abundance workbook (ain’t no rush…refer to the reel before this) + a highly-requested YouTube video on how I manifested my ideal home next week. 💫

Dimelo mi gente 🌇✨⁣ ⁣ Of few of my people hit me up during my hiatus to check if I was okay. Although I 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 appreciate it (because not enough people do, especially with folx who are neurodivergent and deal with frequent mental health issues) I was good before my hiatus and I’m better now.⁣ ⁣ 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿: You don’t need a reason or an announcement to do what you need to do for you.
