This week's intuitive message comes as we have moved into Pisces season, where the sign of the Fish offers us an invitation to experience weightlessness in water.Do you remember floating in a pool as a child? I do- vividly. That feeling brings me back to moments of pause, being held in the water, chest raised to the sky, and watching the clouds pass by.We are being asked to float a bit right now. Pay attention to what is received with your chest and heart-space exposed Notice how it feels to be held by the water. See what happens!For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
As we approach Valentine's Day, this week's message invites us to look at how lovingly we speak to ourselves. It may feel easier or more comfortable to express love outwardly, towards others. But how might it feel to lean into a more compassionate, tender, generous inner voice?I have to wonder how much could be reconciled in our world if we were all more practiced at projecting less and turning the mirror on ourselves more...how much could be healed by letting self-love be a guiding principle? It really does start within.For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
This week's message speaks to the very chaotic energy active in the world at this moment. Perhaps you have asked yourself...what is going on?? In an effort to help support the collective, how do we move through these times without falling apart or becoming paralyzed by the darkness?Spirit's message is clear: Hold the Light. Be the light. Shine your light. And turn it UP. Light is needed to reflect out into the world, much like a lighthouse does to aid sailors at sea. Your light is needed in the world at this time. Be the beacon of light so that others may recognize it and hold their light, too.For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
This week's intuitive message came from time in one of my favorite "thinking spaces"- the gym! When your mind wanders, where does it lead you? Down old, familiar grooved pathways or into new, unexplored territories?This message is an invitation for this transitional time: can you practice orienting your thoughts towards something new and not repeat the old? What would it feel like to spend more time imagining the new you want to call in?For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
Welcome to 2026, where the energy promises a major shift in momentum from what we encountered in 2025. This week's message focuses on a simple theme: Go For What You Want. This is not the time to play small, mull over decisions ad nauseam, or stay stuck in your old ways. Now is the time to identify the desires of your heart and orient toward actions that will make it happen! Trust the energy that is coming forward to bring us the movement we deeply need.For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠⁠.
Welcome back to another Intuitive Message for the Collective! I've been holding this short episode until now, as it's been evolving over the last several weeks. It's a time of year where I feel very called to share the invitation to lead with love. There are plenty of reasons at the end of the year to feel busy, rushed, chaotic, frazzled. And often we may find ourselves out in the world projecting some of that inner chaos onto other people! But, Spirit wants us to remember that if we can lead with love in our interactions, we are ultimately creating a more peaceful planet for all of us. So may this message find you at a time where you need a little extra love in your own life and encouraged to share more love around you.For more intuitive guidance and support, explore ⁠⁠⁠The Clean Slate Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠The Big Leap Intuitive Reading⁠⁠⁠.
Season six has been a wonderful journey of sharing the lessons from my nomadic experience. And rightfully so, it also must come to an end. This season wraps with a vulnerable look at the endings and beginnings, closures and arrivals that have been part of the last few years, especially 2025. I hope you'll listen not just for the real feelings, but for the hope and "joyful anticipation" of all that awaits me. Your story likely contains this too, closures + arrivals, all with your own felt sense of humanity in the journey.Thank you for the way you've welcomed this part of my story- perhaps not always explicitly about style or home editing, but always with the truth of how the last few years have transformed who I am and what I am moving toward.We will see what is next for Above + Beyond Style!To learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
On the heels of Thanksgiving, I am pausing to share five specific examples of my gratitude for the nomadic experience. This has been such a unique time of my life, and looking back has given me deep pride in the choices I've had to make. I share these insights so you, too, may take a moment of pause to see where gratitude belongs in your own life-- no matter the journey you're on or the place you find yourself in.To learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
Many of us don't enjoy the feeling of discomfort. We generally prefer to feel comfortable over uncomfortable, right? Yet, we cannot avoid the reality of discomfort in the midst of great change. This week's episode unpacks how we may confront discomfort in the nomadic experience and how I've learned to embrace a new strategy to welcome it in, too. I share three specific areas of discomfort in my own experience:Not knowing "your people"Not knowing your way around a new physical placeNot knowing the timing of circumstancesTo learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
It's a question I know some people have about me: How have you been able to afford this?While there have been many parts to my "how story", one remains frequently unspoken: the role of money. In this week's episode, I'm giving you a glimpse into my financial story and the role money plays in my nomadic life. While this topic may seem taboo at times, it's important for me to share these new insights and powerfully claim the financial abundance that has supported me along the way.You'll hear more in depth about:How I learned to saveReal estate investments that truly paid offRedefining money as a construct Leaning into the financial scaffolding that supports meWhere do you have resources + scaffolding to support you?

I knew there would be more to this story! This week, I took a deeper dive into more aspects of my nomadic experience that required a different kind of "keep going" than bedding and beauty products. Such things as:The practice of using my wardrobe as a tool for supportLeaning into wardrobe choices with more intention + purpose to access how I feel at any given momentA healthy dose of fear + genuine curiosity An orientation toward what is ultimately for my highest goodHonoring my intuitive knowing as to when to keep going and when to hit pauseListen here for Using My Wardrobe as a Tool for Support from season one!To learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠.
Happy Monday! This week's intuitive message came forth with these tenants in mind:We are called to have faith in our own inner knowing or intuitive guidanceWe are called to have deep trust that who we are is worthyAnd to remember our worthiness is inherent in who we are: we are born of Love and Light.

I get asked this question often: what kept you going for so long on this nomadic experience? While I may have a superpower or two in my pocket (we all do!), living this kind of lifestyle can grow tiring and wearisome for anyone. There were MANY moments where I thought I'd cash it all in. Pick a city and just give it a go. But every time I would feel the pressure to make a decision, I'd connect back in with myself and hear “not just yet- keep going." So this week's episode unveils a few strategies that kept me in the nomadic life journey- may they serve as inspiration for you!To learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠.
As an intuitive stylist + home editor, I spend A LOT of time in people's homes and closets. This week, because of the nomadic life, I chat all about how someone like me lived over 2.5 years without my full wardrobe and the lessons gained from that. I became my own best client by editing and asking:What pieces serve me in this life and the life I'm building?What pieces no longer resonate anymore? How can I curb my own consumerism and shopping habits?How have my style preferences changed?How can I carry these lessons forward as my wardrobe evolves alongside me?To learn more about my work as an intuitive stylist and home editor, check me out ⁠⁠on the web⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠.
This week in our nomadic life lessons, I'm chatting about perhaps an obvious benefit of nomadic living: TRAVEL! And even more important than traveling to see new places and spaces, I also got to see people in my life. After COVID, I think I was craving more personal interactions. I wanted to SEE people in their everyday lives, how their homes looked, how it felt to be in their presence again, and I was able to successful achieve that over the last few years. A major added benefit to being on the hunt for a more vibrant lifestyle.If you are in transition, especially a physical transition like a new home or city, I recommend the added benefit of committing to seeing people you love. It will do wonders for your spirit, your motivation, and your prioritizing of relationships again.
