Reset + Refocus

Brand new website. Brand new socials.

Same passions.

If you’ve been here a while, you already know the themes that keep showing up in my life: business, fashion, travel, art and music, and yes, mermaiding. They’ve never been “random interests” to me. They’ve always been clues. They’re the threads that make me feel most like myself.

2025 was a cleansing year.

Not the aesthetic kind. The real kind. The kind where you let go of what doesn’t fit anymore, even if it used to work. The kind where you outgrow versions of yourself that were built for survival, not for alignment. The kind where you stop performing the life you should have and start listening for the life you actually want.

And that’s what 2026 is for me: an opportunity to start with a clean slate.

Not to become someone new, but to uncover what’s been true all along.

A reset in business

One of the biggest shifts I made was shutting down A/D as it used to be and rebranding into a joint venture: Side A.

It wasn’t a “closing a chapter” moment for drama’s sake. It was a decision rooted in clarity. I wanted to simplify. I wanted sustainability. I wanted to build something that feels strong, focused, and aligned with where I’m heading, not where I’ve been.

A refocus in life

This year about doing the right things with the right people.

Refocusing means:

• choosing clients and projects that match my standards and values

• building businesses that feel intentional, not chaotic

• making room for the passions that keep me alive creatively

• protecting my time, energy, and attention like they matter (because they do)

What I’m looking forward to

One of the most exciting parts of this year is that I get to travel more, and honestly, I’m grateful. One of my clients has opened the door to seeing the world in a way I’ve always dreamed of. Travel has always been part inspiration, part reset button, part reminder that life is bigger than my screen and my to-do list.

So yes, 2026 is a clean-slate year.

But it’s also a building year.

A year where I show up as the most authentic version of me, not the most convenient one.

A year where I create, explore, refine, and move with purpose.

If you’re in your own reset season, I hope this reminds you: starting over doesn’t mean you failed. Sometimes it means you finally chose yourself.
