Hi, Reader!
Wow, it's been a minute. How have you been? 2025 has been a rough start so far for many. For me, my boyfriend and I came home from traveling for the holidays and immediately got hit with Norovirus 🤢 it was so rough ya'll. And then the California fires started.
Every time I watch footage I am brought to tears. It feels weird to be continuing on with life knowing that the people and animals have lost everything. Since I can't physically be there to volunteer and help out, I figured the next best thing is to donate to the organizations that speak most to my heart. Monetary donations seem to be what are most needed right now. I chose to donate to Pasadena Humane and the California Wildlife Center, but of course you can also donate to personal go fund me's for families that lost everything. I believe anything, to anyone that is a victim of the fires, in any amount helps ❤️
And in other news, I finally found the energy after being sick to share my 2024 reflections on the podcast. This is a deeply personal episode for me. This past year, I struggled with my mental health more than ever, felt completely lost in my career, and wrestled with a deep loss of identity. Along the way, I leaned into financial support in my relationship and finally called it quits with coffee...this was a tough one for me ya'll. I know I'm not the only one who struggles with the love/hate toxic relationship with coffee 😆
I'm not going to lie, nearly every second of this episode felt very scary for me to share and there were parts of me resisting it. But it felt important for me to be real and honest about where I'm at with my journey. Sometimes I think we try to put our best foot forward all the time, but the reality is, we're all human, and we all have our own struggles. My hope in sharing this is to help anyone who needs it feel less alone.

Sending you a lot of love, and if any of this resonated, please don't hesitate to hit reply and let me know 🖤
xo,
Jess
