First Trip Back to Minnesota — WOWZERS.

How has it already happened… my first trip back to Minnesota since moving south?

What a wild, full, eye-opening five days.

Let’s start with the obvious — I did not enjoy the cold. Not even a little. But what I did love were the people — the hugs, the conversations, the reconnections, seeing my clients, and getting to “work” again in the space where my business was built.

I was bummed I couldn’t fit everyone in, but I saw 22 clients in 4 days, and those were long, full, beautiful days. The kind of days where you crawl into bed completely exhausted and completely fulfilled at the same time.

Hair clients ✔️

Peptides flying out the door ✔️

Spaces energetically cleared ✔️

It flowed exactly how I had envisioned these return trips working.

So the plan is set — I’ll be heading back every 6–7 weeks for now.

Next up: April and June.

One thing that really hit me while being back — I didn’t leave Minnesota because there’s anything wrong with it. So many people I love are there and it’s still home for them. But for me, the trip was pure validation.

Within a day I was stuffy, felt like I was getting sick, and my energy tanked. I was so lazy 😂 — it is way harder to get things done in the cold when your body is used to sunshine and being outside year-round.

That was my confirmation. Not an insight — a validation.

I’ve outgrown that environment, and that’s okay. It served such a huge, beautiful purpose in my life. It built my business, my strength, my community — and now I get to carry all of that with me while living in a place that supports the next version of me.

Also… BRIM. 😀

I ate at Brim multiple times and I regret nothing.

Someone needs to open one in Orlando because clearly it would thrive and I would be their number one customer.

Right in the middle of all of this was K2 (Hermetic Kabbalah) — an all-day deep dive that completely cracked something open inside of me.

The study of the self.

The study of God.

The study of life… and the afterlife.

Not as concepts — but as lived, embodied understanding.

A space to understand, to heal, to release, and to evolve in ways I didn’t even know were possible.

This journey of knowing thyself is, to me, why I’m here — in this human meat suit — to outgrow programming, to move beyond limitations, to become better and brighter every single day, and to share that light so others know there is another way.

It’s hard.

It’s uncomfortable.

Sometimes it’s painful.

And it is always worth it.

I got back to Orlando at midnight, stepped out of the airport, took a deep breath, and instantly felt it in my body:

Home.

The warm air.

Charlie waiting for me.

And an 80° sunny day ahead.

After five days of cold, that moment felt like pure alignment.

So this is the new rhythm:

Minnesota every couple of months

Florida as home base

Continued growth

Continued evolution

Continued service

Different from the old life — but more me than anything has ever been.

And that’s what this whole Southbound journey has been about.

Not just changing locations.

But becoming.
