Naming What I’m Carrying Forward

The end of this calendar year marks the closing of a very important chapter for me.

2025 was not a year of arrival. It was a year of clarification. Of tilling ground. Of being honest with myself about what I’m actually investing my time, energy, and care into, and what I want to continue growing from a place that feels aligned, sustainable, and real.

I’m proud of myself for how I moved through this year. Not because everything was smooth or easy, but because I stayed present with it. I stayed engaged. I didn’t abandon myself in the middle of uncertainty.

As I look ahead, I want to name plainly what I’m carrying forward.

I am a movement artist. I am a showgirl. I work through burlesque as an embodied art form, and I teach embodiment through my Burlesque 101 offerings. Teaching movement and holding space for embodied exploration is not new to me. It’s something I’ve done across different contexts and seasons of my life, and I’m continuing to expand how I share it.

Through Flow and Connect and Offcultured, I curate wellness and connection events rooted in presence, play, and honest conversation. These gatherings have become meaningful spaces for people to come together without pretense, and I’m excited to deepen and grow this work in 2026.

2026 marks five years of LegsforeverXO. What began as early explorations into online content creation has unfolded into a layered universe of storytelling, performance, costuming, and lived inquiry. LegsforeverXO continues to be a canvas for my creative expression, one that bridges the digital and physical, the personal and the performative, and I’m entering this next chapter with intention and care.

Alongside all of this, I continue my work as a life coach. I’ve loved working one-on-one with people who are ready to slow down, reflect honestly, and engage with their inner dialogue in a way that supports real change. My approach is less about fixing anything and more about creating space for clarity, for self-trust, and for intentional movement forward. These offerings are as much a practice for me as they are a service I share.

None of this came together in isolation.

I’m deeply grateful for the people who held space for me as I clarified my direction and worked through the internal shifts of 2025: Veronica Hotton, Becca Rich, Tasha of She In Purpose, Kenya of Master Healing with Kenya, Ashley Starling of A Society Experience, and Heather of Balanced by Mom. Their presence, insight, and steady witnessing supported me as I strengthened my footing, trusted myself more fully, and moved with greater clarity.

I’m also especially grateful for Claire Lawrence of Offcultured and TrulyClaire, my creative partner, dear sister, and collaborator in building something we’ve imagined for a long time. Offcultured continues to be a space where art, conversation, and care meet, and I’m excited for what we’re growing together next.

I’m also grateful for the broader constellation of collaborators, friends, and community members who made this year feel lived-in rather than endured.

As I move into 2026, I’m not chasing momentum. I’m choosing depth. I’m investing in the practices, relationships, and creative work that feel rooted and alive. I’m letting things take the time they need to take shape.

This is me naming what I’m tending now, and what I’m carrying forward with care.

With you in practice.
