I’ve made a lot of realizations over the past two months while navigating a flare of my (still undiagnosed) chronic illness.

Being mostly off work has given me unexpected time to reflect, read, and dive into content around healing. And today’s realization hit me hard: I’ve been intellectualizing my stress instead of actually feeling it in my body - until it was too late.

So what does that even mean? Let’s break it down.

CW: sexual trauma

I wrote this blog because someone replied to my Instagram story with an inappropriate comment. It made me livid and sent me straight into a spiral. So, naturally, here’s an entire blog post of me trying to unpack my sexual trauma. LMFAO.

I've now been enduring the worst flare of my undiagnosed chronic illness for two months. My body continues to feel like it’s deteriorating. The simplest tasks I once did without a second thought - showering, brushing my teeth, sitting up to work on my computer - now cause me pain.

As I sit here typing this, my body aches. I looked into the mirror today and failed to recognize the person staring back at me. My body is my home… and yet, it feels abandoned. Creaky. Lonely. Falling apart at the seams.

These sessions go beyond the traditional boudoir experience. Whether you come with a fully fleshed-out vision or you’re eager to let me take the creative reins, we’ll craft something UNFORGETTABLE together.

Dating as a non-monogamous person is a wildly challenging journey. It’s a path filled with self-discovery, awkward moments, and, ultimately, growth.

Lately, I’ve been working through Polysecure by Jessica Fern, a book that delves into attachment, trauma, and consensual non-monogamy. In this post, I’ll share insights about attachment styles and how understanding them has shaped my journey into improved self-awareness.

I will level with you. I think I’ve only had a handful of times where I was comfortable in front of a camera, and yet I think I have a lot of good photos to show for the times when I wasn’t comfortable anyway. I take every step to make sure that you have a great time at your shoot. You don’t have to love every single photo - I certainly don’t even love every single photo I take of myself! But you will fall in love with some of the photos (at least), and you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this sooner.

Your session is coming up and the realization is dawning: “I need to figure out what I need to wear for my boudoir shoot!” I’ve got you.
