This week, I'm back with a gentle message from the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, where everything around me is a reminder that growth takes time. After a few weeks of intentional rest, I’m reflecting on how we can be both the seed and the nurturer—watering our dreams, processing our grief, and choosing patience over pressure. Whether it’s a new relationship, a creative project, or your own healing journey, remember: what’s meant to bloom will bloom. Just keep showing up with care.

This week, I dare you to plant your seeds… and trust the timing.

This week’s episode almost didn’t happen—until a little nudge reminded me how powerful showing up can be, even when you don’t feel ready. From the front seat of my car, I’m keeping it real and keeping it moving, even through the heavy stuff. Life is short, life is weird, and life is worth celebrating. So if you’re feeling the weight this week, I dare you to smile anyway. Dance a little. Hydrate. Text a friend. The joy is still there—and it wants to find you.

This week, I’m reflecting on what it means to take it easy. As I navigate some big feelings, I’m reminded that growth doesn’t have to be linear—and that healing rarely is. I share a small but powerful moment from one of my yoga classes and what it means to meet yourself where you’re at, without the pressure to perform or prove. If you’re in a season of softness or on the edge of transformation, I dare you to listen to your body, your heart, and your own timing.

Take it easy. Drink water. Shake your booty. It all counts. Happy Easter <3
