Level UP
Aloha mai and welcome back to my little corner of the interwebs. This week, I want to talk about the deep reflection and immense appreciation that comes with my birthday. If you’re new here, I’m an Aquarius, born on February 15th—yes, the day after Valentine’s Day, and no, I don’t hate it. In fact, I absolutely love it.
Since turning 30, I’ve started referring to my age as the current level I’m on. It’s my way of shifting the perspective on aging from fear to excitement—an opportunity to acknowledge the growth and wisdom that come with each passing year. This year, I leveled up from 35 to 36, and with every level up, I dedicate time to reflecting on the lessons learned and the milestones reached over the past year.
Thirty-five was a big year for me. I took on a part-time job that led me to cross paths with some of the most incredible people I’ve met while living in Sydney. It was also a year of deepening my psychic gifts and healing modalities, helping me forge connections with like-minded psychic baddies. These experiences not only enriched my personal growth but also strengthened my offerings, giving me clarity on who I truly want to work with and how I want to provide support.
Of course, it wasn’t all sparkles and sunshine. Tremendous shadow work and transformation took place beneath the surface. I had to face my fears, meet my edges, and do the uncomfortable inner work. It wasn’t easy, but it was absolutely worth it. I was able to heal and release so much stagnant energy that had been keeping me stuck. Through the darkness, there was always light. I experienced both loss and new beginnings—family members who passed away and new souls who entered our world. The delicate balance of death and rebirth was a constant theme throughout my 35th year, deepening my appreciation for my support systems, my energy, and my health. I also found gratitude for everything that naturally fell away, knowing it wasn’t meant for me.
As I stepped into 36, I took time to set intentions and call in the energy I want for this new level. I wrote down every single thing I desire—big, bold, and even a little scary. Anything that triggered fear or resistance, I highlighted. Then, I sat with that energy, imagining what it feels like to have every single goal already manifesting. I got specific—down to the clothes I’m wearing and how my hair looks in this future version of myself. As I sat in gratitude, knowing these things are already on their way, I also held space for the inevitable challenges that will come with this next chapter.
One of my biggest goals for this year is to go ALL-IN on my soul’s purpose. That means taking my business seriously and even hiring a business coach to guide me. Acknowledging that I need help and can’t do everything alone is part of releasing my fear of failure. This journey is scary, but if I don’t try, I’ll never know what’s possible.
So, whether your birthday has passed or is still ahead, I invite you to reflect on your last year. What have you learned? What are you most grateful for? How have you changed, and in what ways have you stayed the same? If you’re not happy with your progress or feel like you’re stuck in the same place, I want to offer you an opportunity to break free.
My brand-new 3-month 1:1 Reclaim + Connect container is designed to help you step into your next level. Through biweekly calls, we’ll set powerful intentions, unpack the wounds and energy that have been holding you back, and break free from limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in a loop. We’ll also explore energetic connections that may be draining you and work to release them.
Transformation isn’t easy, but it’s so worth it. You’re already in your chrysalis—allow me to support you in your final integration into the butterfly you’re meant to be.
