What’s something you’ve always known was true but took you years to admit out loud? I’ve always known I’d leave some kind of creative legacy. Even when I was little, I felt it. Like I was supposed to spark something in people. The world started calling it something I didn’t sign up for: “Teaching.” 🙄 And that word? ugh It felt like a trapped cat clawing to get out of a box. No thanks. I’ve spent most of my life resisting labels, especially that one. So let's be clear...I’m not here to teach. I'm here to walk alongside. To get lost in the messy brainstorm of creative chaos with you. I’m here to inspire and light people up. I've had to do a bit of reframing to actually show up and create this space. I don’t "teach"; I help people tap into the 5-year-old version of themselves who still believe in magic, love the creative mess, and embrace wild creativity. I don’t hand out step-by-step plans: I hold space for big ideas, brave moves, and permission to let the journey unfold. I don’t instruct: I invite people to play, to ask questions, to be curious, and to remember who they were before the world told them who they should be. If you’ve ever known something about yourself that wouldn’t shut up... even when you tried to ignore it...you’re in the right place. 💬 Tell me the part of you that keeps tapping on your shoulder, saying, “Hey, remember me?” Or just drop a 🎨 or gif if you’re ready to play with that part again.

AI is everywhere, and I've been testing the different ones out for years. They've come a long way, that's for sure. I was playing with Shopify's AI "Sidekick" today just to see some of its capabilities. While it says it can't do certain things, like swapping faces, I was quite surprised by how well it did when I shared the second image and gave it this prompt: "Can you create a winter scene with the likeness of this horse and this woman?" Currently, our horse is battling EPM, and there's no way I want to take him out in these frigid temps to get a photo for a social media post. What do you think? Did the AI get close enough to our likeness to share it?
