Trust YO'self

Good Morning my Trust Babes!

This blog post has been long & coming…its way overdue. I’ve decided to take a morning to slow down & write about some things…
Two of those things being Trust & Vulnerability.
Trust is something I built almost accidently & with a lot of hard work + hustle I built the life of my dreams. I lived on Trust for 5 years & it fueled my life. My life of travel, adventure & freedom. The ability to work from & wherever I wanted. With a lot of tears & doubts…and a lot of confidence & action.

In the past year or 2…I let Trust take the back burner. And it makes me sad  & actually hard to admit because its like a child... but I needed to see what it was exactly that I needed & wanted to do. Sometimes I think you have to leave something to figure out if its really what you want. Trust was always there...I just didn't put my heart & soul into it because I wanted to try other things. In conclusion…It IS what I love. With a lot of pep talk from people I love, I have realized I built something not only I love, but other people love. Typically humble, I’ve realized its really important to be vulnerable. You don’t really see it when you look through your own eyes…and I have had to do A LOT of internal work to see through it & figure out what it is I have, what direction I want to go & what I want to continue.
A lot of work meaning...A lot of morning journaling, manifesting, breath work & listening to myself. I know I sounds like a witch...but its so powerful to connect with yourself & find what truly makes you happy.
I always wanted to live on both coasts…having 2 places until I figured out which one had my heart forever. Holding on to my little beach bungalow in SoCal, I moved back to the island this summer…my favorite place. I did this to slow down…and be re-inspired. Here I am. I love the simplicity of the vineyard & the creative energy that surrounds me here. I am always west coast inspired but its realllllly saturated & the balance is so important…for my mind at least.
I love the simple life. 

I have a lot going on with Trust in my head & heart & lots of plans…and I can’t wait to share everything with you!
Jump on the journey if I lost you…

Welcome to The Trust Life


Hi my trust babes!
I haven’t fell off the face of earth…yet.
My life has been a balance of 
hustle & flow  hustle.
Here's whats been up...

 Trust // new stuff is coming, promise!
Think Vintage x South West
Making jewels fun…Taxes, not.
Grace Loves Lace // I've been bursting at the seams keeping this secret…
I’m working officially with Grace Loves Lace as a stylist. Love those Aussies…the only US showroom is here in Venice & I feel so lucky to be a part of such a rad Australian company that feels like a family already.
West Side Collective Agency is a creative agency I am a part of.
Its a group of 5 of us that all do our own thing. 
We put out minds together to create this agency to help other boss babes grow their own brands.
check out our MENU & our TEAM!
Brooke Rodd…I work at my friend's boutique where I sell Trust a few days a week because shes a supah boss babe & such an awesome friend. We help each other out, vent to each other, talk biz & life plans, & drink strong cocktails together when we need to.
MOH…I am a Maid Of Honor in my childhood best friend’s wedding in May. Soon to come is the bachelorette, shower & wedding. Full time job...but I love it.The best part is they're coming WEST for the bach party...count down is on!

Guess What? There’s even more I can’t share yet...
 Slingin' Jewels & Flower Crowns #MOH
Grace Loves Lace showroom...DREAMY
Twerk Out, Meditation, Manifest
So now you can see why my head actually spins on the daily…Some days I’m working from sunrise till midnight on all these different things. 
Some days… lately a lot less but V important… I RESERVE the day to not look at technology at all & go adventure.
I cried last week when two separate people told me I was calming to be around. It’s the last thing I feel…but I constantly remind myself how important it is to be calm & to be present. I literally have to set blocks of time to get things done in hourly chunks.
#ME
My mornings are Changing A LOT but the 5 things I do for sanity…
DRINK STRONG COFFEE
WORKOUT
PREPARE HEALHY FOOD/ FUEL
SLEEP
These things are SO crucial to maintaining a self care regiment. If I didn’t put myself first, I think my head would spin straight off my neck. I would probably also be rundown with the flu like the entire population of SoCal.
On the DAILY, I practice being patient, calm & present. This circles back to my New Years intentions. Of living in the present…
Did anyone fall of the wagon on their New Years intentions? That’s cool, You know I believe Feb is the new Jan.


Here are some supah fly trust babes you can check out while I am behind the scenes in life ; )



LOVE to all

Rolling into 2018 like...

New Year, New Me
not really…I’m usually setting all of my new years intentions & goals to the point where friends want to have goal setting dates…not into it this year…here’s why…
 1.   I set goals & intentions year round…so doing so for the new year isn’t actually anything new
2.    I love all this stuff. tarot card readings, crystals, astrology predictions, horoscopes, energy healings…mushroom tea (lol @astraedevin knows whats up here) I love full moon hikes & intention setting…I read my horoscope every morning…I believe in the power of my crystals (who thinks I am an actual witch yet?)
Don’t get me wrong… I have rolled my eyes plenty of times with this stuff too & I think some of it is way too far off from reality. There’s a balance for sure. 
The third & most prominent...
3.    I am living in the NOW



I took @MarcoYoga's class last week in NYC & I’ve never felt the power of the present moment so much as I did in that class. I physically & mentally felt the release of so many things…not to mention the release of possibly my right hamstring as I hit the floor falling into my mat after pushing to hold a pose SO hard. The falling out of it never hurt so good. Its because I pushed myself in the moment to be so present that I didn’t look or feel anything except the exact moment. (Couldn’t move that leg for a few days FYI) Marco’s influential coaching me through with the wisest words that lead to setting my most important intention of 2018.
The power of present..."theres NO where to go except here...where you are…right now...the NOW” 
When you aren’t in this state of presence and you are either looking back or forward, you can’t see opportunities that are right in front of your face. More importantly, you aren't being present in that exact moment before its gone forever.

So yes, there's things I would like to do differently this year…things I want to come…things I want to release…things I want to do more of…but instead of focusing my energy on all of this…I am shifting my perception of the "new year" & focusing on the NOW. Soaking up the people in front of me & the memories I am making right now, accepting myself, who & where I am now and all the love that surrounds me right now.

Happy New Year!
