What a freakin year.
Said goodbye to Knotted Roots + 8 years of having my entire identity wrapped up in my business. When the 2024 hurricanes took out my little shop, I chose not to reopen the space — but to reopen my life.
After hustling my ass off trying to save the building (and nearly gutting it myself), I finally let myself loosen my roots and adventure through the last year of my 20s.
Post-hurricane, ya girl needed money… so I went to Naknek, Alaska to work a salmon season. Turns out 16-hour days filleting fish for two straight months makes hurricane recovery look cute. Hardest thing I’ve ever done. Also somehow the best.
New perspective. Real grit. Good money. And I met the love of my life — .bright.outside 🤍
10/10 recommend meeting your person in Alaska.
From there, I started dreaming up a new reality: always having a place back home, while finally allowing myself the travel and exploration I denied myself for nearly a decade while running businesses.
Alaska back to Florida to soak up time with friends and family. Feeling endlessly proud of my people—like and my newly engaged sister and soon-to-be brother,
Alaska → Florida (friends, family, love) → South Lake Tahoe, where I’m currently living my ski bum era, learning to snowboard, working for someone else, making new friends, and trying real hard to love the cold.
I’ve got a warm beach waiting for me come April — and a whole lot of gratitude for the storms that wrecked the life I thought I wanted, and made room for what’s next.
No idea what this page is becoming… but there will be sunshine 🌞
