What would you say to your younger self? In a powerful therapy session, I was asked to write a letter to the young, child version of me. The woman I am today is the woman that little girl needed. Someone who sees her. Someone who listens to her. Someone who understands and can look at her with tenderness.

Through the work I’ve done in therapy, I’m learning how to heal, grow and become all the things I’ve ever needed. I’m still that little girl that needs love, but now I’m also the strong woman that’s learning to give it to her.

What about you? Maybe it’s time to write a letter.

"Before I even began reading my letter loud, the tears started pouring from my eyes. My heart pounded, my breathing changed, my voice shook, and with each word spoken, the emotion swelled up inside of me. All of a sudden, I was no longer the adult version of me. I was the little 11-year-old girl hearing them."

Granny’s antique tea set isn’t just for tea anymore. 🥂 It’s now one of my favorite ways to showcase a caviar service for a dinner party. A few years ago this beautiful set was passed down to me, and I restored it to all its glory.

And when I found these crystal shot glasses, I knew exactly what I had to do… create caviar vodka shots. And here they are. 10/10 highly recommend

Not sure where to buy caviar, or how to serve it? Slide into my dm’s and let’s chat. 🥂

In Mexico after approximately 37 cocktails, we thought it would be a good idea to do epic yoga poses… on a roof. Seems logical. 🍹 I blame the margaritas.

There may or may not have been applause from the beach. 🤭

Here’s a sneak peek at the new Michelin recognized waterfront in downtown Jacksonville, FL! The food is phenomenal, the staff is incredible, and the drinks are flowing. It’s a total vibe. One of my favorite bites is the choripanitas - house crumbled chorizo, provolone, & chimichuri on grilled toast points. 🔥
