You owe me nothing. I did it out of love. ❤️ 🌺 . . . #fleeting #hallelujah #waves #inbetween #collectingmoments

OKAYYYY before I forget where we went (the whole 2.5 weeks felt like I was dreaming) - here’s part 2 of the deliciousness that was CDMX ❤️ 🌮 @maizajo - be sure to go to the tacqueria! Reservations online are only for the restaurant upstairs which has a different menu. 🌮 @tacosdelvalle the trio was the perfect taste test!! Waited about an hour in line on a weekday late lunch sorta timing. Worth it! 🌮 this soft serve 🍦 changed my life @ultramarinos.rest - our fav restaurant of the entire trip. Delicious. Make reservations. Pricey but WORTH EVERY PESO. 🌮 @labonvi.mx where all the fancy pants people go get tacos. Nuhbad, but the TROMPO at Pastorcitos (prev post) simply can’t be beat. Ugh. Also go on a weekday so the wait (if any) isn’t as long. 🌮 my favourite morning was taking a class at @osompilatestudio followed by a short walk to Principal Cafe @cafemargarita_cdmx that had the BEST concha 🫶 Prayers and love to CDMX with the Teotihuacán pyramids shooting 💔 can’t believe we were there just two days ago. . . . #cdmx #foodie #mexicocity #travel #bestbites #tacos

Compiling our top 10 bites in vibrant CDMX that we won’t be able to stop thinking about for a while @andrewburns 🫠 Here’s the first 5!! Too good to gatekeep ❤️‍🔥 1. These jumbo grilled prawns @_el_tibur_ . Nothing’s been able to knock this off the top spot!! 2. Okay. Let’s talk about these tuna belly tostadas @campobaja . Halhp. This photo does not do it any justice ! 3. 16 pesos each for these beauts @tacos_chanito - hard to beat. And unbeatable smiles from the chefs ❤️ 4. Perfectly seared top sirloin taco at this local haunt. Do not sleep on it!! @lospastorcitosdesirloin 5. And of course a breakfast staple - chilaquiles in a coyacan mercado wowow @madre_cocinamexicana Enjoy chicas and chicos 💗 Also a little yay for some sort of creative inspiration slowly making its way back to me :) :) . . . #cdmx #travel #mexicocity #tacos #foodies

I still remember the first day. Jemma had cautioned of the arduous task ahead, and comforted us by saying that the graduate program is time-bound. To remember that when it begins to stretch us beyond our limits. In the middle/ belly of the whale: fishbowls, practicum, clients, oral exam, thesis (!!!), closures … my beloved clients. Monthly couch sleepovers with Jess, early morning yoga, coffee runs. Yoga in the yurt. 34 hour travel days between Dubai and SB. 2 international moves. AUSTIN! Bodhi! My hair color changed three times! Leaving my retail career. Never-ending 12 hour classroom days. So much laughter. So many tears. So many hugs. Fast forward to the end; I love these people so much ❤️ if I didn’t believe in magic before, now I surely do. Pacifica has been a portal to a version of myself I didn’t know existed. 2.5 years of being called into the depths, and learning to not look away from pain and suffering (this lesson required frequent confrontation with self and excavation of my own inner landscape, repeatedly. Kinda like going to the dentist. Probably worse. Trial by fire 🔥) - and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. My cohort of wise, funny, loving Vultures - wounded healers - forging the way in reverence of the world’s soul. If our time in Pacifica was liminal space, now we emerge and rejoin into the world. A little exhausted, but ready to do the work. I can’t wait to see what we get up to ❤️‍🔥 You are already missing from me : saudade 🫶 . . . #depthpsychology #cohort #psychotherapy #threshold #gradschool

2025, wow. It was a year of shedding! True to the nature of the snake. And being in liminal space. The whole year felt like I was in an egg, waiting to hatch. Started the year rejoining Vuori as SM (what a privilege!), got to build an amazing team and working alongside them was my biggest joy, then left in August and hit major burnout. June was my first ever surgery to remove an ovarian cyst, and then sprained my foot in December, both times taking me out of moving my body. In the midst of all that, loving my dearest across the oceans @andrewburns , stealing time in the in-between pocket moments, also with family in Singapore - and 2x @thewndrrm pop-ups? Insane! Made some really cool lifelong friends in Austin, and bringing home with me a forever souvenir that is Bodhi. And the steady hum of third year of school, a major milestone completing and passing the oral exam, and 2nd year of sitting with, witnessing clients. I’ve loved my time of being in a cocoon, the growth has felt exponential not because anything was new, but because I actually was still enough, quiet enough to ✨listen✨. And the universe, God, people around me showed me so so much grace. It was a year of finding (another version of) myself 💗 2026, I see you with so much clarity and excitement. With increased clarity comes a greater degree of choice, and I kinda feel selfish saying this but not everyone and everything gets to access my renewed energy. I’ve never felt more ready for the important people, places, and things. Very ready also to submit this thesis. Most of all, I know who my people are, I see the vision, and I am ready for the challenge. This will be a year of creation action. Gosh. Cannot wait!! If you are reading this, I love you so much!! . . . #recap #milestones #reflection #2025 #2026 #clarity

This feed has become a countdown of when I’m seeing @andrewburns next 😆 A recent injury got me feeling grateful for all the kindness I’ve been met with in this transient phase that is Austin 💗 This morning I sat with a client in quiet for moments so she could enjoy and feel the warmth of the sun through her window on her skin. I wish the same comfort for anyone else reading this post 💗 1. Besties - I have so much freaking fun with you 2. Fluffy little baby bird landing on my car mirror for a split second 3. Shimmering sunshine spots having lunch and couples therapy on play - mm. Happiness. 4. The injury. 5. The boy 🐶 right before we got to the dog park where a big chonky tank of a black lab at full speed rammed into me and took me off my feet. Ouch.

November with my inner circle ❤️ Feels like a trust fall, and these people and moments and spaces that catch me when life gets too much, and who celebrate with me in good times. I can only hope to giveback the same amount of love and dedication this lifetime, if not more. Thank you for loving me as I am. I wish I was better with taking pictures - you know who yous are, my ride or dies. I’m a lucky🍀 girl 💗 To have this kind of safety allows me to wander far from home, and I miss you all a bunch, always, all at the same time. 1. EO nostalgia with my forever bestie @andrewburns 2. Griffith! In LA w/ Mummy @oabrechen 3. Somewhere in Chinatown - cutie copied my pose and almost fell over 😆 4. Slow Ritual w/ @merdinyeoh ❤️ 5. TWR popup!! 6. My people and my whole freaking heart ❤️❤️🦋🌕 7. I never knew I could laugh this hard, but this bunch of girls are bright lights in my life 🥹 8. Meepok at Hong Lim - died and went to heaven. 9. Mummy meeting Bodhi for the first time in Austin 10. Got kinda sick 🤒 11. My muses @lovingyoulovinglife_betty @cheyenne.yoga @drmarleneteo missing @manda.olivia #homeiswheretheheartis

Hi!! Amanda here, bopping my head around to check-in and say life is very much rolling on! In my life, TWR embodies the *un* - un-hurriedness, un-complicatedness, un-drama-ness and embraces the deep, luxurious, slow. I hope you’ve been finding space amongst the chaos, my loves. This world feels at times unhinged and so crazy, all the more to remember feet on the ground, sunshine on the skin. Wrapping yourself up in beautiful sentimental things. Reminiscing of these dreamy days in Jaipur with @sundari.photo who took these unreal film images. Craving sensate days spent amongst women creating, playing with flowers and colors and prints and fabrics. At the same time, dreaming up new things for the new season 💖 There may be a little surprise pop-up back home in Singapore in November, and once I have better details I will share. And hope to see your beautiful face there, celebrating artisan-made and age-old traditions. Playing dress up for the home. Big hugs to who’s here ❤️ say hi back in the comments to send it back I’d love to know you’re there x 1: TWR sheets hanging / glistening in the sun 2. Stitching together of handloom checks cushion covers 3. Big squares and a sweet smile 4. An offering #shoplocal #artisanmade #ethical #slowliving #lifestyle #homedecor #india #womanowned

The best day ever, felt like it was just yesterday. I don’t know how we found each other being from different ends of the world, and I don’t believe in coincidences. You’ve taught me so much about love, and life is so much fuller and richer with you in it. Your tender heart of gold is so incredibly precious to me, and I will fiercely protect it. Happy 4 years babe, no one else I’d rather be earth side with thru all of the ups and downs ❤️❤️ ILYSM ❤️❤️ . . . #weddinganniversary #throwback #raffles #singapore

August was magical ❤️ 1. Reunited with le husband @andrewburns 2. Best prawns I’ve ever had at Iliana 3. Landing in DXB 4. Last team sweat with these two 🩷🩷 @the.kiss.of.venus @studiopillows 5. Bittersweet last day with Vuori @nicolekulaa @j_radley13 @fendi.young superstars 🌟 🌟 🌟 6. Much needed girl time with @gdsamaritan 7. Backdrop to summer at Pacifica, courtesy of human sexuality class 🔥 8. Year 2 classroom back light is just … very Hogwarts. Magic. 9. Morning pilates with my dearest Jess @jcfoster78 ❤️ 10. Summer on campus 11. Back to just us two in ATX 12. Team team what a special sweet bunch 🦋 The end of something, the beginning of something new. Yet another layer of the spiral 🌀 round and round we go #blessings

36; I think I’ve made her proud That little girl with her big toothy grin and yellow bunny sunnies. What a life, and so much more to go. This past year has been extremely confronting, it’s the closest I’ve come to my limits (I think I say this every year - okay when does it get easier?). Yet as always, the darker the shadow the brighter the light. This human experience continues to crack me open and humble me, and I’m here for all of it. This coming year maybe I’ll start practicing what I preach - hold suffering, practice being, listen to intuition, examine fear, don’t rush. Slow down. Remember to breathe. Follow Soul. I avoid thinking about my birthday, because it makes me sad that I’m far from home and the people who know me deeply. Yet every year it takes me by surprise how loved I feel. Thank you to my loves, near and far, who took time to remember x

To the best fur dada in the world ❤️ Hunty, Loki, Bodhi and I are so lucky to have you.
