POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Once upon a time, I had a baby, opened a brick-and-mortar fitness studio, got divorced, became responsible for nearly 30 employees and contractors, and eventually closed the dream I thought would define me.
All in about four years.

It was maddening. Thrilling. Expensive. Beautiful. Exhausting. Alive.
And for a long time, I thought the ending meant I had lost something.
Now I know better.

Hustle & Flow gave me proof.

Proof that I could build something from nothing. Proof that I could lead. Proof that I could make hard decisions. Proof that people would trust me. Proof that community can become family. Proof that I could survive an ending I never wanted.

The hardest part of closing wasn’t losing the business.
It was knowing that people had made a home there.
That mattered to me more than the lease, the equipment, the branding, any of it.
And maybe that’s why I no longer believe every ending is a failure.
Some things are meant to become foundations, not forever homes.
That chapter ended.

But the woman it built did not.
She came with me.

Into motherhood. Into single motherhood. Into grief. Into entrepreneurship again.
 Into every room I’ve built since.
So if you’re standing at the edge of something scary, wondering if the risk is worth it…
Maybe the question isn’t, “Will this last forever?”
Maybe the question is:
Who will I become because I was brave enough to begin?

*to the people in these photos and the ones not pictured-I am forever grateful for you!! 💫

A style icon, a commissioner, a founder, and a fitness phenom walk into a backyard…

Three hours later we’ve solved leadership, parenting, aging, skincare, business, and absolutely had our best Tuesday night since the early 2000s.

Thank you @jessicadibiasefitness for your amazing gift of collecting brilliant women who become life long friends! Happy Birthday!! Xx

Principessa is not just a physical place.

It’s a feeling.

It’s an energy.

It’s a look (or many, varied looks 😝).

And much of what Principessa is comes from YOU. The beautiful beings that have been on this journey with us at various points over the last 20+ years. Our team, our customers, our furry friends. We love you. You are Principessa.

Anyone can create a pretty picture with AI, the one thing you will never be able to create is memories. These are some of my favorite memories caught on film of some of my favorite actors. Which one speaks to you. Part 1 of 5.

Pop up was a success!

Thank you @dara.buzzard for orchestrating such a well oiled market and curating so many talented local vendors, then bringing this community together to shop handmade! You are brilliant. Wish I took pics with you and buddies @tondoatelier, @everydayjubilee, @soonoakstudio when I was there! Totally slipped my mind. My markets are winding down, and this was possibly my last one (never say never?!? Idk. Tho my husband and family might argue otherwise 🤣) Unfortunately the time to set up and stock up was becoming laborious for me. I absolutely sell better in person, I meet the most interesting and creative people, I make connections, etc. however, I’m in a slow niche biz and it’s mentally and physically taken a toll. Nonetheless, it’s been an adventure for sure!

So thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello! I had a fantastic turnout - it was cold so I actually sold quite a few beanies. Each piece was made by my two hands and each one was made with love…I remember everything that finds a new home. You’ve all made an impression on me, and my heart is full ❤️
