Shout out to the ones who are spending Christmas alone this year. It’s a tough one. However, we aren’t really alone because we are all in this together. I’ve never felt so connected, so loved, so supported, so strong, so hopeful as I have in 2020. I send my love and healing vibes to those who are doing their part, as well as those who are fortunate to be with their families this holiday season. PS I wonder if we will ever get to sit in Santa’s lap again? I mean, I’m okay if we don’t. That was a pretty creepy thing we made kids do. #1988 #christmas #santasknee #tbt #picswithsanta #quarantine #quarantinelife #aloneforchristmas #solo #pandemicchristmas #writer #writersofinstagram

Happy Winter Solstice. You might have heard this is a special solstice it coincides with the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn . These two aligning in the sky in the sign of Aquarius is a huge deal. Every 20 years these two planets meet but they haven’t meet in Aquarius in centuries. Astrologically, many are calling this the Age of Aquarius as we step in a one love era that was once ruled by traditional and patriarchal Capricorn. Regardless of what you beli...eve about astrology, I think we can all agree that we are in a different ENERGY right now. If 2020 has shown us anything it’s that life/the world has the ability to change and transform rapidly and extensively. We all have the ability to tap into the essence of the planet. That’s why we have Winter Solstice the longest night of the year to welcome in a season of regeneration, stillness, and self-reflection. Mother Nature knows what she’s doing. Each season brings us a different essence to experience and connect with. When we follow the natural progression of change, we find that we are more in flow rather than force. Which might just be exactly what we need right now at this pivotal time. Today also reminds us that it’s always darkest before the dawn. No matter what you believe, heed the advice of the season, and prepare yourself for big changes in the new year. Take this time to affirm what you want to create in 2021. We are stronger when we create from a place of oneness rather than when we rely on doing it ourselves. Creativity, nature, and movement are on my vision board what’s on yours? Oh, and this pic was taken last year at my parents house -/ it’s their backyard! crazy, right? I think my apartment could fit ten times back there. #wintersolstice #greatconjunction #greatconjunction2020 #happywintersolstice #capricornseason #winter #mothernature #intentionalliving #wellness #energy #everythingisenergy #2021 #writer #writerscommunity

I was asked to guest on Dr. Tranquility's conscious dating podcast. The YouTube video is up! I come in about halfway but the entire episode is worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch

Scared how to answer that what’s your salary expectations question? Here are some pointers. Get. That. Cheddar. https://hellogiggles.com//career-/how-to-negotiate-salary/

December is the month to look back on the year and take stock on what happened. Well, thanks to 2020, that be a tough place to start. Now that we’re in a solar eclipse energy, we can flip the script and start to think how we can align our energy for 2021. What can we get rid of right now and stays locked and burned in 2020 (like the dumpster fire it was) and what can we bring to the newness of 2021? What do we want our new year to look like? How do we see ourselves in 2021? W...hat are we doing? What are we focusing on? What are we embodying? This year has proved that we have little control over external shit sometimes but we do have control over our internal shifts. We get to choose to bring the energy we want to the table. We get to decide on how we choose to spend our time and how we respond to the world around us. In short, WE/YOU get to decide who you want to be in 2021 and no one can take that away from you. It doesn’t matter how things were in the past. It doesn’t matter how you reacted or acted. You get to start anew (and as far as I’m concerned I think we can all get a free pass on this year if we didn’t show up as our best selves). So, reality check: this is our new normal. So what do you want that to be? Visualize it, write down your goals, consider what you need to take action towards them, and commit to it every week and month. Visualize who you are at the end of 2021. What are you doing? Who are you with? How do you feel? How do you carry yourself? Then embody that energy right NOW. By assuming you are that person now will help attract you to the places and people who you need in order to make those goals a reality. What are you grateful for from 2020? There are moments of grace here, I assure you. By seeing the good things in your life now, you can prioritize what you want to keep with you in 2021 and what you want to expand upon. HAVE SOME FUCKING FUN! because this year has been, well, you know. Incorporate more activities that light you up. Indulge your inner child. Personally I’m going to dance more and commit to silly comedy projects. Emphasis on PLAY! Because we alllll deserve it. See more

Manifestation has always been a big buzzword in the wellness and spiritual world, but recently, interest in learning how to manifest has grown exponentially because, well, let’s face it: If we want to manifest miracles in our lives, 2020 is the year to do it. But what exactly is manifestation in the first place? The ability to manifest anything sounds magical, right? It’s almost like pulling a bunny out of a hat after chanting, Abracadabra! But is it really that easy? Sk...eptics might think the concept of being able to manifest anything and everything sounds more than a little woo woo. However, true manifestation is linked to quantum science. The fundamental rule in quantum science is that you can’t observe the world as it is because observation changes the molecular structure of reality. The fact that observation changes reality means reality is not fixed, that a person’s observation has the power to shift reality. We not only have input on reality, we are at the cause of many changes in reality. Read more in my article for @hellogiggles. Featuring @thesoulfrequency @kathleencameron_formygirls

I went for a walk and asked the universe, what’s my true essence? Because this is 2020 and we deep af these days. And I looked up and saw this. What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see? Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me.... To all the lovers and dreamers out there... don’t let this dark dampen our light. Someday we will find it... but right now let’s be it for each other. #rainbowconnection #lovers #dreamers #wellness #selflove #lightworker #love

Thankful for... Celebrating my first Canadian thanksgiving alone. Aloneness... Solitude....... Strength.... Connection to self, spirit, and loved ones afar. And a crazy cat named Olive. The generosity of strangers. The stillness of a full day. Plant based thanksgiving food (it’s good guys!) Autumn. Fall.... Surrendering... Letting things be what they will.... Beautiful colours... The beauty in the transition.... We are beautifully in transition. Thank you, 2020, for showing us what we have, what we took for granted, and what we have to look forward to. #canadianthanksgiving #canadianthanksgiving #happythanksgivng #grateful #gratitude #solitudeisbliss #fallvibes @ Vancouver, British Columbia

We would make a good reality show. Ollliiiiiiiveeeeeee!! as the annoying catchphrase. It would be a goldmine.

Oh hi. I had a few conversations with friends lately who were like what does it mean to be an adult? Which ultimately led to declarations of I don’t know what the eff I’m doing sometimes! And am I selfish and immature for being single and childless? Just a reminder that I don’t think anyone feels like an adult at any age and having a house or a kid doesn’t make you more or less grownup mature or responsible. We might’ve thought our parents had their shit togeth...er at our age but believe me... they did not. They had the same doubts fears triggers anxieties and trauma that we have they might’ve hid it or not. They were not super man or super woman and did not have it all figured out because... who does?? So what constitutes an adult? First who cares? And second. Don’t look at the externals. That shit doesn’t mean anything. We shift into maturity when we grow into self acceptance, take responsibility for our feelings and actions, embrace our wholeness, make room for mistakes and growth, and extend loving kindness towards ourselves and others. And play! Play to your hearts content! when we allow ourselves to play and enjoy life just because... we tap into who we really are and that is okay to do at any age! And it’s def not selfish or childish to take care of yourself and do the things that make you happy! Life’s not about figuring it out it’s about figuring you out. In short, don’t be an asshole to yourself or others... continue to grow spiritually and emotionally... follow your curiosity...and only pursue the things that make you feel more you not because you think they’ll give you a feeling of grown up ness. Whatever the eff that means. Because once we figure it out I think we die... #selfcare #lifeadvice #keepgrowing #wellness #5dconsciousness #doyou

I loved diving deep into this subject. Between fiery twin flames, stable soulmates, and tough karmic connections, how do you know which is which and if you're in one of these spiritual-like relationships? Read on for more insight below. Thanks to The Mystic Michaela for her help on this one! https://hellogiggles.com/love-sex/what-is-a-twin-flame/

New moon in Virgo vibes! How are you celebrating this earthy goddess of a sign? She gets a bad rep for being super organized and practical but Virgo is also insanely connected to nature and the divine, and she loves learning new things. Doing simple Virgoish self-care tips can help keep you aligned, efficient, and connected. #newmoon #newmooninvirgo #selfcaretips #soulfulselfcare #newmoonintentions

If you’ve ever attended a yoga class, had a reiki session, or listened to a meditation, you might’ve heard your teacher or instructor said to balance your chakras, or open your third eye chakra. And then you might’ve pretended to know what you were doing, all the while asking yourself, Okay, why, and how am I supposed to be doing this? https://hellogiggles.com/lifestyle/what-is-chakra/

Sometimes self-care is as simple as going through your to-do list, making those phone calls you’re putting off, and clearing away clutter, like receipts. It’s not as luxe as taking a bubble bath but these small acts can clear the space so new energy can enter and it feels good too! #selfcare #selfcarethreads #selfcaretips #makespace #makespacefortheuniverse

Because it's stressful times and we could all need a quick trick to help us breathe. My latest for SheKnows. What's your tried-and-tested way to connect? I do the embodiment exercise provided by Laura Day, in addition to consciously focusing on my breathing. I find when I'm anxious I tend to hold my breath! My new fave mantra is: let it be easy. https://www.sheknows.com//quick-mindfulness-tricks-deesca/
