Let’s dive into her story!

If I’m being honest, I have no idea where my money went last year—but I’m pretty sure I ate most of it. Food is definitely my love language, and I have zero regrets about indulging in it. I also gave my wardrobe a much-needed update, and let me tell you, I’m genuinely satisfied with every piece I own now. For years, I was stuck in what I call a "mom wardrobe," rarely buying anything nice for myself. Mom guilt hits hard—even now, with teenagers. But as I step into 2025, I want to approach money differently, with more intention and a lot less guilt.

But beyond the strokes and flourishes, calligraphy has taught me lessons I didn’t expect.

I’ve learned to see how words look and feel. It’s strange, but when I write a word, I want it to feel like what it means. For example, the word timeless feels thin, classic, and elegant—it demands to be written in a traditional script. But the word ecstatic? It’s bold, bouncy, and full of playful loops.

Hustle culture has us rushing, performing, and striving—but at what cost? In 2025, I’m choosing slow living, intentional moments, and mindful consumption, including committing to a No Spend Year. It’s not about doing less; it’s about doing better. Join me as I share how slowing down has reignited my creativity, brought me peace, and redefined what success looks like.
