holaaaaa mis amores!
It’s been.. the perfect amount of time since I last wrote.
I’m emerging slowly, & nonlinearly. Trusting root. Showing signs of life, of buzzing, of new news. Elements taking new shape in the face of seasonal changes.
Last time I wrote here (about a year ago), I was in the throes of preparing my selves, my families, & my mom for her transition into becoming our ancestor. Offering flowers, songs, massages, water, fruits, breakdowns, breakthroughs.
Yes, sweet readers *sighs*. This queer alchemist has been in some transdimensional apocalyptic travels.
My mother/my life invited me into a rite of passage that has brought me subtle & ancient explorations of what it means to live a Life that leaves a healing legacy undeniably & immediately felt across generations. Of what is possible when we surrender to the realities of death and change as givers, too.
Now, I know that what I am experiencing is an enormous tragedy. I. Know.
Howeverrrr, I’m gonna tell you how I want to be seen in this.
I want you to see me as the bad bitch that showed up when called on and facilitated cross-dimensional space and processes. The one who caretook for their parent as she was beckoned by death and then doulaing and ritualizing my own mother’s transition for myself, my mother and the many people/beings who love her. As an intuitive (& highly guided) space and process holder that met one of their greatest fears with enormous grace and is surviving and creating to tell about it. You see me?
On that note, I am focusing the rest of this newsletter on the beautiful things I have created in the face of indescribable loss. A process and practice that warrants me enormous pride in my power and possibilities.
Several sweet updates that have been a long time coming (all blessed by my mama) wrapped in here and I am excited to finally show you :)
Please read through!
eeeexciting updates

After graduating from Coaching for Healing Justice & Liberation’s 9-month cohort this January and completing 2 years of practice, I am opening my coaching books to a wider audience (you!). This is for you if you are ready to compost limiting beliefs and complacency somewhere in your life and bridge your mind/body/spirit/dreams with your actions. This is for you if you are curious about directing the change in your life and moving into a deeper sense of wholeness and belonging in your experiences.

✺ You can read more about my Liberatory Coaching practice on my One-Pager and on my website and hit me up for a free discovery call to see if we have that magic-making chemistry <3
✺ Big shout out to my gorgeous cohort and amazing mentors - Damon Azali-Rojas, Sarah Jawaid & Gaye Johnson.
I will be exploring with writing newsletters AND blog posts through this site now <3 I have wanted to write more freely here and have felt limited by the structure of newsletters (while still wanting to maintain them).
& as per the request of a few people, I am making available a “paid subscription” for my writing here (as u may have seen in an email from Substack yesterday). If you are feeling the desire and ability to, please sign up for a paid subscription to support my writing, spiritual archaeology, and turning towards the slowing pace of my grief - one of my greatest teachers and mentors informing my practice at the moment.
