I spent the last 5 years living out of a van chasing what I thought was freedom.
New places, constant movement, adrenaline… always looking for the next experience.
And for a while, it felt like I was doing life right.
But underneath all of that, I was honestly just chasing feelings.
Whatever gave me a dopamine hit in the moment is what I followed.
There wasn’t much direction… just motion.
At some point I had to be real with myself and ask—what am I actually doing all this for?
What’s true? What’s my purpose? Where am I even going?
Lately I’ve been going through a spiritual shift that’s hard to fully explain.
But for the first time in a long time, I feel less like I’m chasing something…and more like I’m being grounded into something.
Still early. Still figuring it out.
But I’m grateful for the clarity that’s starting to come.

Went to Jamaica in January with @godspitcrew to serve communities impacted by the hurricane, but what I experienced went far beyond rebuilding homes.
It was connection. It was culture. It was being welcomed into people’s lives with a level of love and faith that’s hard to put into words.
Being part of something that brought real hope to people, and seeing how much that meant in such a short time, was eye-opening. It showed me what’s possible when people come together with genuine intention.
This trip opened my eyes to struggles that often go unseen, and reminded me how much impact we can have just by being present for others.
Truly one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life—and something that deepened my faith in a way I’ll carry with me.
Full documentary in bio.

30. A new decade begins.
The year behind me changed everything.
At 29, I broke old patterns I thought were a part of me.
I experienced connection that finally made sense.
I cried tears of pure happiness—
from new life, new clarity, and the people who make it meaningful.
I found peace deeper than I knew was possible.
My heart opened in a way that can’t be sealed back shut.
The second half of the year cracked something open inside of me.
Burning Man became a pivotal point—a mirror.
A reminder of freedom, presence, and love.
A symbol of letting go
and choosing what I carry forward.
I grew into gratitude tenfold.
I found my soul in sunrises,
and purpose revealed itself in the most unexpected places.
Above all, I was gifted clarity and peace—
a grace I don’t take lightly.
A gift from God I’m deeply thankful for.
