Every day, I am becoming more myself.

My time.
My body.
My mind.
My space.
My creativity.

For a long time, I tried to make myself fit into a life that wasn’t meant for me — shrinking, editing, and smoothing my edges to survive in places that questioned my right to exist fully.

“Why is your stuff everywhere?”
“Why do you take up so much space?”
“Why are you like this?”

Because I exist.
And I live here.
And I always have.

For years, I was afraid to say those words. Afraid to take up space. Afraid to be seen. So I created something called Her Quiet Escape — a place to breathe, to cope, to imagine a way out. It was born from fear and sadness, and it served me in the season I needed it.

But that season has ended.

I am no longer escaping my life.

I am rooting into it.

I am choosing where I grow.
I am choosing how I grow.

I am moving toward a bright future — one where I take up space, build rootedness, and grow into the woman I was always meant to be.

The word wild means living according to one’s own nature. Self-governing. Unowned. Guided by inner truth rather than permission.

And rooted means anchored. Embodied. Present. Grounded in my body and my life.

Together, they are my favorite shape of becoming:

Wild & Rooted.

This space is no longer about escaping.
It is about inhabiting.
It is about choosing.
It is about growing — slowly, deliberately, beautifully — into the woman I am becoming.

And so I introduce you to my new home.

Welcome to Wild & Rooted.
