My EXCLUSIVE site is finally live! Starting this site finally allows me to capitalize on the efforts that I do as a creator and it also gives me a place to express my imaginative & lively side more, while also sharing my other passions. Hope you enjoy!
Homestead life doesn’t mean I don’t get dressy too 🥸 What do you think of these images? Do you like natural light or studio shots better? I’m more of a natural light girly, but the badassery I felt here just might make me reconsider 😅 Although next time, I think I need to
In honor of breast cancer awareness month, I am donating a portion of the earnings from my upcoming Star Wars look from my 31 days of Halloween. This look launches Saturday the 29th on my site! Help me put an end to this horrible disease once and for all

Oh sheet… It’s an incredible feeling to be able to spread out along the white sand and embrace every ounce of freedom. 😌
The sun’s warmth shines down on my skin and my worries melt away with it. This is my happy place... Au naturale in nature!
I feel wild and untamed but at
Obsessed with what I’ve been shooting lately. Having so much fun embracing my creative side. Here are a couple behind the scenes shots from my last shoot. See the other looks on my exclusive site! 🖤
Another trip around the sun ☀️🤸🏻♀️🎉 Let’s make a toast to another year of growth, abundance, and joy 🍾🥂 33 is going to be a big year!
I’m so thankful for the opportunities, the people who continue to support and love me, and for the amazing gift of this fragile and precious
Honestly, I'm not sure what's harder... doing a devil press in your swimsuit, or trying to make snow angels with this rascal 😂🐕
If you don't have access to a cryo tub (and even if you do!), there’s nothing better than nature’s cryo.

Stop for a second and take it all in 🙏
Life moves pretty fast… at least, I know mine does. I love being busy, I really do, but it’s just as important to embrace the peaceful moments.
You know the ones… where it’s just you, your thoughts, and a beautiful view.
They’re as
Sometimes people think my lifestyle is a little nutty… and you know what, maybe they’re right 🥥
But then again, they’re sitting on their butts judging, and I’m out here living my best life in Maui 🌴
Just remember, if you’re triggered by someone’s sense of freedom or
I’ve been knocked down by life more times than I can count…including depression to a cancer diagnosis, which shook my entire world. For every time I’ve fallen to my knees, completely convinced I wouldn’t get back up… I’ve found it in me to rebuild that armor again. 🤍

The concept of freedom is often tossed around casually, and it's easy to see why. We all yearn for that sense of control, the feeling of autonomy over our decisions, our lives, and how we navigate the world. 🌍
However, I've come to realize that true freedom isn't handed out
Learn to come back to nature often… it has all the answers you’re looking for, and some.
🏔 Out here, you can’t hide – Nature exposes you for all that you are… both strong and vulnerable, independent and completely reliant at the same time.
In 2023, we learn to surrender.
Being near the water has an incredibly calming effect on my mental health. Whether I’m feeling overwhelmed, or just need some unwinding, a trip to a beach, lake, or river has the power to totally reset my mindset and soothe my soul. 🌊
It can help quiet intrusive thoughts and
You have the right to FEEL GOOD… and that means you also have the right to love and to be loved wholeheartedly 🤍
Learning to love yourself is the practice we need to embark on so we can learn to love others. If science has taught us one thing, loneliness is one of the most
We are not defined by the way we look... nor by the way others perceive us.
We are defined, ultimately, by the decisions we make.
In the most charged moments, and in everyday life.
💭 Do we choose comfort - or hard things?
💭 Do we honor what's expected of us - or what's

If you think this is just about dressing up in a Viking costume… you’d be right… and wildly wrong at the same time 😂
Hear me out... there are a few things I absolutely love about the way my Viking ancestors approached life:

I love what I do but even passionate work can still be draining and cause a life that is disconnected from nature. Never forget to

Rumor has it I’m still swimming… 😂
Lol, but hey, I’m about to get real for a second. There have been many moments recently where I’ve felt like the currents have been too tough to swim through…
All I wanted to do was throw in the towel and come up for air.
But it’s in

Workouts look a little different these days 🪵🪓 And my woodchopping form hasn’t improved 🫣. If you had told me a decade ago that I’d be building an off-grid homestead in Tennessee, growing food, generating my own water, and frolicking with cows, I would’ve thought you were
People often ask if it feels isolated on my Tennessee Homestead...
My first answer is no.
My second answer is, have you met my friend? I make the conscious effort to stay in touch with those near and ~deer~ to me 🦌
And my final answer is, nothing is more isolating than
The world 🌎 is your oyster 🦪
This is your reminder to GET OUTSIDE and experience nature. 🌬️🍃💧
Personally, it’s extremely valuable to get my fix for connection to nature. & I know, there's plenty of excuses as to why it’s not easy to do that. ⛔
But, connecting with nature
My Viking ancestors didn’t think twice before doing the hard things; they just DID them. When’s the last time you really pushed yourself and jumped in freezing water? Start again today and tag me! 🤝

Nature doesn't care that you don't like the cold.
Nature doesn't temper its behavior to make you comfortable.
Nature doesn't revolve around you. Period.

Remember, if your weirdness doesn’t make you fit neatly beneath a label, that’s a GOOD thing. Embrace it.

Lara Croft for the first 6 seconds... Janna Breslin for the final 3 😂

Don’t get me wrong, Lara embodies many traits that I admire... independence, strength, fearlessness...
But perhaps she’d smile more if she let out her inner child every now and then.
