Embodiment, Endings, and Entering What’s Next
While some are ringing in the New Year with noise and sparkle, others are still shedding the final layers of the Year of the Wooden Snake. And then there are those of us—myself included—who are honoring winter exactly as it asks: slowly, quietly, in a state of hibernation.
2025 was a good year for me, despite everything unfolding around me. It was a year of deepening my relationship with myself. I returned to weekly dance classes, committed to private Spanish lessons, and immersed myself in shamanic tantra and emotional intelligence studies. Each practice brought me closer to embodiment, presence, and truth.
With eight years of business experience, thirty-eight years of lived life, and what feels like sixty-eight years of soul wisdom, it became time to fully inhabit my vessel—and to move with intention toward a state of ultimate thriving.
The first half of the year was spent between San Diego, México City, New York, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, and Portland—living what I lovingly call my part-time stay-at-home wife life, sponsored entirely by me. My days were filled with discovering gifted healers and practitioners, attending unforgettable music experiences, exploring transformative culinary moments, and simply being with people I love. I invested joyfully in local businesses, received spa treatments from the crème de la crème, and sought out remarkable bartenders, intimate poetry nights, and the most soulful salsa, house, and reggae scenes each city had to offer.
The second half of the year shifted inward. It became a season of love, vulnerability, and allowing others to truly show up for me. These months tested my relationship with endings and deepened my understanding of emotional agility. I met a tender, beautiful soul, and I also witnessed certain friendships reach their natural close. As with all things, life continues its rhythm of birth, life, and death.
As I prepare to close out the final chapters of my thirties, I can say with confidence—forty is going to look delicious on me. And 2025 showed me just how deeply in love, and in knowing, I am with myself.
Cheers,
