POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
I ended it not because I stopped loving her but because I finally started loving me (Ilona here).

It hurt and it felt unnatural. But what felt worse was holding onto a bond that had quietly expired while I kept trying to revive it out of guilt.

I craved relationships that felt mutual. That moved with ease. That didn’t need over explaining. That saw all of me now, not who I used to be.

Releasing her was one of the most radical acts of selfrespect I’ve ever chosen. It wasn’t rejection, though she certainly took it that way (understandably so! her feelings are valid btw). That’s what made this so challenging and yet necessary. I could have ghosted, I could have lashed out, I could have blocked or burned. Instead I chose to name what was real for me, I gave context, offered compassion, and release (out of love for love).

This is the work we do in the Cycle Breaker Collective not just healing the past, but honoring the present. And it’s bc of the women in this collective and a few new relationships in my life, that I had the courage to step through this fear and honor the ping that’s been there (to do this) for quite some time now. I have more healthy, not dysfunctional, models of conscious and mutual relating looks like. I’m choosing more of that in my life (by creating the space).

Sometimes breaking a cycle means speaking your truth and letting go of someone you thought would be there forever.

And that, my love, is sacred.

✨ Have you ever had to let go of someone you loved to come home to yourself?

Drop a 🕊️ if you know the weight and the freedom of choosing self-love over silent suffering.

I’m beyond excited to share that I’m expecting!

As I prepare for this next chapter, I knew I wanted to create something special — something that would allow me to step back and focus on my family while still supporting this amazing community of readers.

That’s why I created BOOKED — a 6-week mentorship designed to help you: 

develop your unique reading style so you feel confident in every session
Master the skill of connecting the dots so your readings feel clear, impactful, and empowering
Learn the essential steps to start booking clients with ease

And here’s the special part…

Every graduate of BOOKED will have the chance to be featured as a Recommended Reader on my website while I’m on maternity leave, giving you the opportunity to connect with new clients right away.

Doors close on MONDAY March 31st at 12 am PST, and we start April 7th. I’d love for you to be part of this special mentorship.

With love (and lots of happy tears),
