Every year around this time, I build my altar — candles, marigolds, and memories all aglow. Día de los Muertos reminds me that the people we love don’t vanish; they transform. Their energy lingers in laughter, in favorite songs, in the way light flickers just so. I think of Paco — my salsa partner with the red dancing shoes and the biggest smile in the room — and my dad, proudly wearing the team jersey “just in case they needed him to sub in.” Their spirits are still dancing, still cheering, still here — just across the bridge.

It’s my favorite time of year to remind people that intuition doesn’t belong only to psychics, mediums, or mystical beings cloaked in moonlight (though… who doesn’t love a good dramatic cape?).

Full self-expression isn’t about being loud or polished. It’s about being honest. It’s about letting yourself be seen in your vulnerability. It’s about choosing resonance over performance, even when it feels risky.

Coming Home to Your Own Voice

This is the work of alignment. It’s the heartbeat of my programs and my book Intuitive & Aligned: remembering your own truth, reclaiming your energy, and choosing to live by your values instead of borrowed ones.

Social media isn’t “bad.” It can connect us with loved ones, inspire us with new ideas, and even bring us messages that land like divine timing. But when scrolling turns into over-scrolling, it costs us more than we realize.
