While I experiment with a new hairstyle, I decided to share a little bit about my hair journey, hair insecurities I picked u along the way, and how I am healing them now.

While I work on a new painting I discuss my process for re-evaluating my relationships to a lot of things in my life. From drinking to dating and everything in between. And I discuss how creativity can help me heal and find happiness. Join me!
