Q1 report is in & since you guys are basically the advisory committee of my life, feels fitting we’d review this together! 🤓 😴 This was the Q it occurred to me that I kept waking up every day expecting a different outcome than the day before but wasn’t actually implementing any steps to get there, so we changed that. 😎 One of my first big moves was going full send on joining team “Morning person”. Goal was to be awake by 5 at least 80% of the time. We almost got there… 🙈 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 I hit 🔟 miles for the first time again since my knee injury LAST MAY. When I tell you I literally cried the happiest of tears at the end of that run. A shameless mirror selfie to celebrate. Man, what a journey but thank you God for bodies that heal!! 🏡 Family time was abundant. Largely due to my gpa’s passing 🥺 but also bc we’ve slowly been making process in healing some broken ties & it’s been amazing!! 🥹 😍 Toured so many gorgeous properties all over the 🇺🇸. Work is insane right now, but grateful for a job that takes me on so many adventures. 🏖️ Spent less time at home than I hoped but really cherished how it forced me to be more intentional w/ the time I do have in SD. 🌈 I talked your ear off about dating & color analysis lol but it’s bc I’m just so excited about them & they are 2 things that I used to LOATHE, which makes me even more excited to be excited. Ty for entertaining my shenanigans. 🩷 🥶 I thought I was so hardcore cold plunging for 15+ minutes multiple times a week lol, only to realize I was giving myself actual hypothermia & really sending my body into a frenzy hahaha. 🫠 🍔 The saga w/ food continues (& is a bit exhausting tbh) BUT WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS!!! I also found 🍦 & churros I could eat & I almost passed away w/ excitement. I owe you so many updates on this, so more on that soon. ✈️ I/We (bc you basically come everywhere with me) traveled A LOT. I lost count of flights but we hit 10 cities 😮‍💨 & saw lots of friends along the way! It’s been an unexpected but good first few months, even factoring in some of the sad parts. So grateful for you guys, my lil IG fam! 🫶🏼 Thanks tuning in and being here!! 😘 Excited for what Q2 brings! 🤩

Said one final goodbye to my Gramps this weekend. ❤️ And you guys, I almost missed it. Here’s what happened… I loved Gramps and he was an extremely integral part of my life (in many ways against my will lol), but he was also a hard man to have as grandpa for many years of my life. And as that became more difficult, I became more distant. Until last year. When I finally felt this deep conviction to let my hands loose around so much pain and anger I’d be carrying for years, related to him and otherwise. I fought the conviction for a while though because I knew it would inevitably mean hard and painful work. But in March I kind of gave up. I couldn’t fight it anymore, it felt harder to ward off the conviction than to act on it. And thus began a very intensive, life-changing (still ongoing) journey of healing. And as part of that, I decided to fly out to see Gramps every single month last year. To talk to him, to ask him questions, to express my side, to better understand his perspective, and best of all, to finally get to know him, deeply and intimately. Little did I know that 2023 would be Gramp’s last year though. And I definitely didn’t know during all of that, that reconciling with him would be the catalyst for reconciling with so many others. And I keep thinking about that this weekend. Had I not responded to that conviction last year, I’d be saying goodbye to a very different version of Gramps. Someone I didn’t know very well anymore and probably honestly still would’ve desired distance from. But instead, I was able to say goodbye to a man, though still difficult in many ways (the force was strong with that one lol), that I’ve grown to treasure more than resent, that I feel related to now in more ways than just blood, and to someone who I now understand that in all his strange ways, was really just trying to love me. But I almost missed all of that. …Had it not been for that incessant voice that kept nagging me until I listened. ….cont’d in comments… ⬇️

Decided this needed a permanent spot on the feed so we can document that the countdown officially began in February lol! . . . . . #hod #sandiegoliving #mindsetcoach #adhdwomen #sandiegolife #datingtips #mindsetmatters #mentalhealthmatters #womanoffaith #girlwhotravels

Feels on brand that I should be posting Thanksgiving pics in December lol, but I couldn’t let 2023 end without memorializing my very first time hosting Thanksgiving! Little kid me is literally squealing at the thought of my tiny house stuffed full of friends, music, and food. 😍 Somehow in the same month I also went from not knowing how to cook much more than toast lol to making a gluten, dairy, egg free pie and dishes all from scratch. And dare I say - I kind of enjoyed it 🫢. November basically turned me into a version of Alexandra I’ve never met before lol but we might keep her… 🤷🏻‍♀️ …more dinner parties coming soon! 🙃👩🏻‍🍳 . . . . . #aipdiet #glutenfree #dairyfreerecipes #allergenfree #sandiegolife #sandiegoliving #lifestylemedicine #lifestylevlogger #womenoffaith #lifecoachingtips #lifechanger #habittracker
