GIFT GUIDE for the hottest, smartest woman in your life (you).

Part 1: Self Development & Self Care

Nov 21, 2024

Hello!

Happy holidays? Time is moving so fast, the weather is changing slowly, and I am rebirthing- I hope you are too.

Surprisingly, I’ve never put a (public) gift guide together before - something about holiday shopping tends to repel me. The consumer-driven pressures and the urgency to secure deals under retail’s spell often feel at odds with the thoughtful, slow approach I embody when gifting & shopping. The haste and distraction of it all can make the experience feel paradoxically joyless and devoid of sentiment.

That being said, I was very deliberate when curating the next few gift guides for you. Each selection draws from my favorite self-development/care practices and cherished keepsakes. They’re intended to inspire joy and fulfillment that lasts far beyond the moment of unwrapping, anchored in meaning and designed to be used daily or appreciated for a lifetime.

I’ve broken it up into a few categories, part 1 will feature:

self-development (coaching, courses, reading material)
self-care (body care, internal health, rituals)

And the next will highlight:

stylish & sentimental keepsakes (jewelry, journals, investment-wear)
home (decor & gourmet snacks)
vintage & secondhand finds

Indulge in these recs yourself or gift them to a friend- in either case the theme is self-luuuuuv.

Self-Development

Wealth & Confidence Hypnosis

I’m really reallly into hypnosis and have been exploring subconscious reprogramming for a while now- the results have been life changing. The way you see yourself, your self-concept, directly shapes the life you live, for better or worse. I’ve done a few custom sessions with @christythehypnotist (some virtual & in person) and the clarity, centeredness, and prosperity I feel inside is truly remarkable. Our work together has inspired new ideas for income streams and has led to many creative breakthroughs.
