Hey Fireworks,
Welcome to December — my birthday month, my new chapter, and honestly… my rebirth. And before we go any further, I want to share something special with you.
After years of writing, healing, evolving, and pouring into this space, it finally felt right to give this community a name. Starting today, you are The Fireworks — the vibrant, multifaceted, powerful souls who light up this space with your presence. Just like an actual firework, each of you carries depth, color, intensity, beauty, and brilliance. You rise. You burst. You glow. You command the moment without saying a word.
I couldn’t think of a more perfect name for the people who have been part of my journey — and the ones walking with me into this next chapter. So, Fireworks… let’s step into December exactly how we deserve to: boldly, beautifully, and unapologetically in our power.
December is asking me to rise. To embody everything I’ve been healing, shedding, claiming, and cultivating this entire year. And this newsletter? It’s the first step in walking boldly into my power — mind, body, spirit, and purpose.

💫 Lifestyle Moment: Power Looks Different in December
This month, power looks like alignment. It looks like choosing yourself with ease, without guilt, without hesitation. It’s the soft courage of honoring your peace and moving at the pace of your spirit. December is the month I pour into myself — preparing my mind, body, and soul for the decade ahead.
This time, I’m not just stepping into power. I’m stepping into my 30s, fully awake, deeply rooted, and unapologetically me.
🌿 Wellness Reminder
Your intuition is your superpower.
If a space, person, or situation makes your body tense — listen. Let your intuition lead you into peace. Your body already knows what your mind hasn’t made sense of yet.
This is the month of honoring your softness, your boundaries, and your inner cues.
