Where I’ve Been, Why I Left, and Why I’m Back (Like… for Real)
So… yeah. I ghosted. Not on you personally, but on Radiant Living. One day I was leading moon rituals and helping people channel their ancestors, and the next… poof. Vanished from socials. Shut down my membership. Radio silence.
Not because I stopped caring. But because, truthfully? I was fried. The joy was gone. The algorithms were soulless. My well was empty, and I couldn’t pour from it no matter how many sacred baths I took.
Originally, I figured I’d take a few months off, rest, reset, and come back even more radiant. Six months tops. Cut to seventeen months later, and here I am crawling out of my hermit cave like a spiritually exhausted groundhog with a yoga mat.
When I paused things, life was… well, life-ing. I was pouring so much into my work but wasn’t getting the same energy back. My mom’s health took a turn and needed my full presence. We moved her out of the home she’d lived in for over 20 years. That meant navigating a ton of emotions (and decades of dusty tchotchkes).
Then came job layoffs. Three in four years, because apparently the universe thought I needed to master the art of reinvention. Again. Add financial strain, spiritual burnout, and a deep existential “wtf am I even doing”… and let’s just say my aura wasn’t exactly glowing.
Oh, and just for fun? I had emergency gallbladder surgery one week after my last layoff and spent five days in the hospital eating sad pudding and rethinking my entire existence. It wasn’t a dark night of the soul. It was like a whole Netflix mini-series.
Fast forward to my birthday this year, my real reawakening. I went to a local spiritual fair, because what else do you do when you’re lost? You seek wisdom from people in caftans with crystals. (My people.)
I sat down for a reading with one of my former students, and wouldn’t you know it? She lovingly dragged me with my own teachings. Every word she channeled felt like my higher self going, “Girl. You done?” Another reading later that day echoed the same thing: it’s time to get back in the damn chair.
So I did. Slowly. Quietly. Then with fire.
I spent months clearing out grief, shame, and the spiritual FOMO that had built up like energetic plaque. I stopped punishing myself for “failing” and started redefining what alignment actually looks like now—not just what it looked like in 2020.
I realigned. I rebuilt. And I created something new to help you do the same:
✨ The Radiant Reset Guide—a free, simple, three-step journey to help you release what’s weighing you down, realign your internal compass, and reclaim your spark. There’s journaling, meditation, spiritual tools—aka, the good stuff.
If you’re craving deeper support, I’m offering Realignment Energy Sessions, Coaching + Healing combos, and intuitive channeled readings to help you find your center again.
Because I’m not just back…
I’m back, baby. And I brought sage, playlists, and a thousand Google Docs of ideas with me.
I’m creating oracle decks, journals, new classes, meditations, and even (gulp) a book. The Radiant Era is on, and I hope you’ll be part of it.
