Turned 29 yesterday ✨🎂

And thought quite a bit about the year. Stepping out of my comfort zone over and over again to ultimately experinece a lot of giving and receiving. Trying new things out, seeing what sticks, and finding escapes that feel comforting and accepting. So many moments this year of being asked to step up as a leader or into a role when I feel anything but qualified 🫠

Hoping the next year brings more stability, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned to expect, it’s change. I’m finding ways to embrace change with humor and acceptance.

Feeling very sentimental today, so thank you everyone who has supported me so much in the last year ❤️❤️

I rounded up some of my favorite moments of the last year, that felt big and monumental, that forced me out of my comfort zone, or that was exactly within the bounds of what I can do and enabled me to thrive. I’m pretty proud of everything I threw myself at last year! But also ready to take it easy for a bit and find a better balance … 😴
