You ever close your eyes and just spin and spin and spin…

There’s this project I’m working on that is pushing me to the edge of my abilities. It’s scary and vulnerable… and it’s changing my life. When it’s all done, I hope I have something powerful and resonant to share with all of you on what it means to fearlessly go after everything you ever wanted in life, and how to do that in a way that doesn’t destroy your nervous system.

This month (so far) has been wild. Say hello to my trophy, this dress and shoes you all fell in love with, and sparkles of inspiration.

There is something landing this week, on Lunar New Year, in alignment with the eclipse (of course) that’s beautifully timed. I can’t wait to share it all with you. 💋 by @photo_bombshell

I started Photobombshell Media because I believe in the power of independent creative voices, and I knew they deserved strategy, production, and representation that matched their vision. Today, I’m proud to share that Great Companies has named me one of the Top International Women Entrepreneurs of the Year 2026, recognized in the category of Media Strategy & Creative Production.

This award belongs to the community that built it with me: the podcast hosts, the artists & musicians, the concert series creators, the executives who needed a nudge, the collaborators who showed up at every stage and the clients who bet on themselves…and trusted me to help them win.

To every creative I’ve had the privilege of serving: this is for you. Thank you for letting me make the magic. 2026 has been a big year in this top half, and we’re only getting started.

One of my favorite moments of the summer as we take it down for the season... It was SO NICE to visit “home” again and spend time with new friends in a familiar place - yes, Jersey City. 🤣 Looking forward to many more memories! taken in Liberty State Park by @photo_bombshell

After 3 years, I finally finished this book that my therapist recommended. It didn’t take 3 years to read, just 3 years for me to start. I have to say, begrudgingly, I learned some things! It’s not the easiest read, but the human moments make the scientific and theory content more digestible. Recommend for anyone with addictive behaviors from love to social media and beyond, fans of BF Skinner, and Siddhartha enthusiasts.

My greatest takeaway, from both this therapist and this book, is learning to recognize the desire to pursue an addictive behavior and developing the ability to pause while feeling that awful feeling, long enough to allow the rational part of the brain to come back online. It’s a muscle you have to flex and maintain. Mindfulness in every day moments and as a practice is HARD, but it’s worth it. by @photo_bombshell

Thank you @alaninutrition for the hospitality and vibes at the Alani Coven Club in NYC! Such a cool moment, great energy, and superior atmosphere throughout this activation. We loved picking (poison) apples, posing with Hexy, and the great gifts and treats including an Alani flavor you can’t get anywhere else right now! Stay tuned for the photo dump coming soon. 💋 taken in New York City by @photo_bombshell

Year 8 of GameCrunch and this year the GameCrunch Invitational was the place to be. This is what it looks like when gaming brings people together for real conversations, connections, AND community. Watching everyone come through and authentically celebrate what we love together is the culture we’re building. I’m honored to once again partner with @ltleng and @littleenginemedia for the second year in a row on the experience and amplify such a movement. 2027 planning is already underway.

Always, as the invisible hand, I want to thank all of the folks that made the magic silently, our photographers @theblueprint39_ @mrjamesrashad @boomtownfm our bartender @sandcas3 our production team @ciphboogie24 @cthree93, the Microsoft team including my personal hero @thatboyralph_ who went above and beyond for me, and of course all of the partners and sponsors, especially @elogamingofficial @elokinghepburn

Y’all, IG is a hater and won’t let me tag everyone, but know I love youuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! by @photo_bombshell
