I am 37. I have been a healthcare professional for 13 years and I actively work in naturopathic oncology here in the valley. I was a very young mother of my now 20-year old son, Isaiah. He is one of the great lights of my life. My childhood experience left me with some serious abandonment…

The time has finally come – The Social Muse has a podcast. My sister joins me in discussions about manifestation energy, living intentionally, boys, obviously, and interviews with different creatives. We’re on Spotify, Apple, Amazon Music, and… well, honestly, if you’re not on one of those three, I’m not sure what’s happening in your life.

Do you think ‘movie star’ when you hear the name Brandon Pitts? Not to put too much pressure on him, but honestly, that’s his trajectory. You want to talk about manifestation? This guy is so in tune with the universe, it’s unreal. And so inspiring. I’ve known him for… mm, maybe three weeks now and…

Y’all, I’m uploading my first audio and it’s random as hell. Am I supposed to recap it here? Am I supposed to warn you that I recorded it in my sister’s kitchen? That you can hear cars driving by and birds cooing outside? Mmm, I don’t think I’m “supposed” to do anything… we make our…

I currently have 4,195 photos on my camera roll — I love increments of five, so it genuinely brings a sense of ease over me.

It’s finally December – one of my favorite months, especially for eight-year-old me! It’s the start of the month and I’m begging my Dad to go get the tree; it’s always been a family tradition of ours to get a real one. He said we have to wait a little longer, though, so it doesn’t…

As I sit here on my blood-stained bed (from Azey’s teething, not from a period… ew, you guys) with my legs crossed, wearing a Dr. Jart sheet mask and blue-blocker glasses, I am inclined to reflect on how my life has unfolded up to this point. I suppose this is natural with any birthday, but…

What brings you here today?  Feeling anxious?  Overwhelmed?  Unsure what the future holds?  Drinking too much coffee?  Drinking too much alcohol?  Relapsed on cigarettes?  Missing your friends?  Not sure how to deal with you and your partner working from home?  SAME. I asked my cousin, Ashley, the PhD, to sit down and talk with me…

I’m grateful that I allow myself time to create because I love to. I’m grateful for the large cup of coffee, oat milk, and honey that I make for myself every morning, not only because it tastes great, but because it keeps my bowel movements consistent. I’m grateful for name-brand toilet paper because the bullshit…
