oh my Kenzi this was just phenomenal. I wish you knew how much this resonates with me, we are in such similar places seeking for what our soul yearns for and not giving into the pressures of society & to be made into a profit-making machine. I love how you’re leaning into the unknown and you’re definitely doing something right!! We can all learn from this, it is inspiring that you are so in tune with your true desires.

And the poem!! Ahhh so gorgeous. Thank you for this piece ❤️

ayanna, my love! your praise means so much to me💓

living life in resistance to societal pressures is no easy task. but i think living any other way would be a betrayal to both body and spirit. i am proud of us both for leaning in, even if its with uncertainty.🌊

"I do not fear deep waters" -- gosh I loved this piece.

Congrats on resigning from a position that wasn't true for you, and for riding the waves of conviction and uncertainty so beautifully <3

Hi Kenzie! I loved this so much and perfect timing especially since I've also recently decided to embark on a similar journey of leaving a career that drained me. It's uncomfortable diving into the unknowns of unemployment but the ways in which I've come to know myself are magical. The acknowledged privilege is also deeply felt and heard.

Not only did your words deeply resonate with me but just by reading your first welcome paragraph, I already feel like this is my new cozy shared space. 🥲🌷
