Beyond the Surface

What’s Beneath My Friendly Personality
I’ve asked myself this more than once:
Why can’t I just be the lighthearted friend who loves to talk fashion and brunch plans?
Why am I always the one bringing up the big questions — about life, meaning, emotions, patterns, healing?
Why do I feel most alive when we go deep?
For a long time, I resisted that part of me.
I thought it made me too much, too intense.
But over the years — especially through motherhood, transitions, and inner work — I’ve come to understand something:
This is not a flaw. It’s my gift.
Truly knowing myself helped me see that.
And astrology has been a big part of that self-discovery.
I can’t explain exactly how it works — and I won’t pretend to.
But it’s been a mirror. An honest one.
Even when it showed parts of me I didn’t want to face.
My contradictions.
My deepest needs.
The way I hold back… and the way I shine.
I’ve always seen myself as friendly, even chatty.
Creative.
Social (kind of).
Full of energy.
But underneath, there’s curiosity. Depth. A longing to understand what truly moves us.
That’s what led me here — to this moment in my life, creating self-discovery profiles and designing guided journals.
Not just to offer pretty things, but to create tools that help you see yourself more clearly.
And if you’re reading this, maybe you’re someone who doesn’t stay on the surface either.
Maybe you go deep too.
So I’ll keep showing up —
Not always as the fun, shopping friend (though I love that part of myself too!) —
but as the one who sees beauty in your layers.
In the patterns behind your questions.
In the quiet truths waiting to be remembered.
This is the first of (hopefully) many letters to come.
Thank you for being here.
