Hello to all of you, my friends <3

A refresher on why I'm here and what you can expect.

Social Media changes, and I evolve.

As some of you know, I’ve been creating content of one form or another online for over a decade now. Writing has always been one of the ways I liked to share. Though I was never consistent with blogging, I shared many of my thoughts on different topics, from Sustainable Self Love to Thoughts on Privacy & Discretion to a series on Nourishing + Nurturing. These could all use a good edit and update, but platforms for sharing writing have changed over the years. All social media has changed and continues to change. And maybe I’ve changed, too, but this evolution feels appropriate.

Why this

I haven’t thought much about this past wanting to have a place to share a “newsletter” and other musings with a more intimate community than some branches of social media. Maybe this will change with time, but for now, it’s simply a place where I can share writing, links to what I’m reading, prompts for journaling or reflection, and a bit more of how I think about “wellness,” along with tools you can use for movement as medicine and the body as our nearest home.

In a saturated internet, I’ve always been honored that anyone would let me or my thoughts or resources be part of their healing or well-being journey. If you’re here from Instagram or even TikTok, there are probably so many aspects of how I work in wellness or think about wellness that I don’t get to show or share. I have a holistic approach, with deep importance for mind, body, and spirit approaches, centered on a love ethic.

So here we are with Head, Heart, & Body.

Why now

From the little I share online about my private life, I think some of you gathered that I tragically lost someone close to me and, perhaps less obvious, that I was going through other heavy family and relational experiences. Traumatic bereavement and anticipatory grief were not on my bingo card for my late 30s.

I had no idea how these would affect my work online or how I could show up. Everything feels unreal and unimportant when these seasons come to us. Living through these experiences (which I am still wading through,) I’ve touched the deepest parts of my depression and have also learned more about myself and this whole process of being a human than any work in “wellness” could have taught me. As the fog continues to lift, I’m called to show up again.

I am ready to return to my world of creating and sharing, of dreaming and doing, of magic and meaning, within the wellness work I get to share with you. I’m ready to share more of what I’ve learned and am learning, along with musings and thoughts from my professional work (I’m a licensed therapist and soon-to-be-published author, y’all. I know, I know. A girl doing yoga in her apartment in NYC listening to SoundCloud playlists to here, but I’m grateful for all of you who knew me then and who know me now,) and, hopefully, more tools and resources for mind, body, spirit and thoughtful living rooted in love, hope, and togetherness.

I promise this side of the internet won’t be heavy think pieces but something more simple, gentle, honest, and me.

Thank you for being here.

With love,

Claire

A note on posting cadence & content

I will be sharing once a month, but maybe, just maybe, I will share more often if specific updates and timely reflections come to mind. As much as I’d like to say this will be on a more regular schedule, I cannot commit to that, nor do I think creativity follows such rules.

I’m also open to anything you would like to hear about here. Drop a comment or email to let me know what’s on your mind.
