I wrote “leave” last year during a season where I started really seeing my patterns clearly.
Things I thought were preferences but were actually protection.
At some point I just hit surrender. I realized I couldn’t experience the kind of love and connection I truly wanted while letting those fears run the show.
This song was born in the middle of undoing all of that.
And in the experience of being loved while learning how to let go.
“leave” is out today 🤍

If you haven’t already - start disappointing people.
I’m laying in the grass looking at the sky and it became clear to me that one of the biggest lessons I came here to learn in this life was how to love myself. To re-own all the parts of me I have pushed away and as a result lived in strategy and survival. I can feel it is an old lesson, one my soul has been seeking for many lifetimes. I can feel it as a gift I’m here to give. To live in what feels like the messy truth. I’m devoted to it. In human form we forget our essence and the journey is remembering. I’m filled with emotion. I feel so grateful.

Authenticity & alignment often lives in the smallest day to day decisions. Decisions that if we pause to get truly honest with ourselves, we’d have to sit in the discomfort of grieving an old story.
Par for the course, being human 🤍

This! This is the norm. Questioning our reality forces us to face the truth and therefore disrupt the systems that taught us to avoid it.
