Evolution In Progress ⌛

Dear Strangelings,

Change doesn’t always manifest in explosive fireworks.
Sometimes it happens when we expect it the very least…

This past week, I’ve been so sensitive. Like, seriously. I’m always pretty sensitive, but this week was on a different level. Emotionally, physically, spiritually… just walking outside and brushing against someone’s energy felt like impending doom. So I cocooned… hard core. I babied myself silly and drastically slowed down.

And in that stillness, something wildly magical happened.

By giving myself permission to fully rest—with no expectations—I entered a state of deep relaxation and presence. A whole day in bed with a book, cozy socks, and a candle. No phone. No agenda. Just being. I was lucky enough to do this for quite a few days. And that wasn’t entirely easy to do. I had to really self-coach into letting go and encourage myself to lean into just existing.

But that’s when the downloads started coming. Ideas about who I am, what I want Bright and Strange to stand for, and the kind of community I want us to be.

This is the evolution in progress.

You may have noticed a few things different —like the subtle new colors of this email, or my new logo. But underneath it all, it’s bigger than just a design. It’s about claiming Bright and Strange as a grounding space for free spirits. For the wild hearts who long to love fearlessly, rebel unapologetically, and claim their ravishing world as their very own. We are the music of reality, beating to our own drums. Maybe were a little different— but in the best way.

This community is not limited. It’s open for anyone who feels a deep desire to overcome self-doubt and fear, to become their greatest self, and to live a life of freedom and authenticity. We strive for balance, we live for luxury, and we dream with the stars.

We are radiant from within and different from much of the world… but our greatest strength is knowing personal truth so deeply, and honoring it.

🌙 Strange Practice

This week, I invite you to try it too: Cocoon from the world.

Put your phone away. Seriously. Put it in a different room on do not disturb. Your phone is the vessel for so many interruptions. We weren’t made to have our presence poked at any moment or our brains bombarded with information endlessly.

Take a day to rest, cocoon, and let yourself just be.

Notice what happens when your bubble isn’t constantly popped by notifications, demands, and information overload. Inspiration may find you in surprising ways—ideas for your work, relationships, spirituality, or your next chapter. Write these down when they come! Its gold.

Share With Me

I would truly LOVE to hear how this goes for you. What did you notice? What downloads came through to you? What did you learn about yourself?

If you feel open to sharing, simply reply to this email. I read every message.

To the loyal few of you who have been resonating with my words—I want you to know, I’m with you. I’m on your team. And I want us to become the best we can possibly be.

Let’s do this together.

With you in the cocoon,

Staying BRIGHT + STRANGE
