Featured on Medium: Healing Hustle & Reclaiming the Power Within:

There are moments in life that invite us to pause and look back — not to dwell, but to honor how far we've come.

I recently had the beautiful opportunity to sit down with Natalie Ruiz for an interview on Medium, where I shared my personal journey through burnout, survival, and ultimately, transformation. It’s always vulnerable to peel back the layers and speak about the wounds — the ones that fueled the fire I carry now — but these conversations matter. Because for so many women, this path is all too familiar.

In the interview, we explored what it meant for me to go from being stuck in the cycle of doing, achieving, and overextending... to finding healing in slowness, in energetic awareness, and in trusting the wisdom of my body and womb.

It’s the story of how Modern Hippie Soul was born — not from perfection, but from a sacred unraveling.

This work isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about coming back home to yourself within it.
It’s about remembering that success doesn’t have to cost you your health, your joy, or your soul.
It’s about rewriting the script — one where softness and power can exist in the same breath.
