My brother @shawn.tailor and I took my mom to @dragoncon this weekend for Mother’s Day… she clearly had no fun 😉 Happy (belated) Mother’s Day to all the Mother’s and Drag Mother’s out there from my family to yours ❤️🥰
Regarding Israel / Palestine, and the innocent lives lost… 🤍🇮🇱
Someone recently asked me how I stay so positive all the time, and stated that I always look so happy. The truth is that I strive for happiness, but I am (just as you are), human. We all have good days and we all have bad days. We all have challenges that we must face whether big or small. I read somewhere today that,” happiness is not the absence of problems, it is the ability to deal with them.” I couldn’t agree more. This week was not an easy one. I don’t share that to get sympathy so please refrain. I share that so you all know that we ALL struggle at times, but we learn, we get stronger, and we hopefully grow from them. Though I believe that is up to you. We can either become victims to our circumstances or become the victors because of them. And I believe that simply comes down to choice. For we can not always choose what happens to us… but we CAN choose how we respond to it. What will you choose? Singing is one way I have always healed, and moved through challenging moments. So may this bring you some peace, knowing that you are not alone in whatever you are going through, and may these words and song bring you peace as it has me. Sending you all so much love ❤️
Watching @msayles post his incredible shots from the @theacademy this past weekend I was reminded of this fun shoot we did. Matt, thank you for capturing my essence the way you did. For every person that feels like they aren’t accepted for the entirety of who they are… this is for you: Some days I feel fierce and powerful, as this photo conveys. Some days I feel tender and soft. Some days I am pure strength and some days I may feel weak. And every day, whether I feel it or not, whether I remember in the challenging moments or not, I am never not strength because I simply am. Just as you are. It is easy to judge one’s self and deem the hard or challenging parts of us as bad or wrong, rather than part of the beautiful wholeness that is you. This is an invitation to accept and love the pieces of you that you may hide or be afraid to reveal. The parts of you that deep down, you wish for others to love. This is an invitation for YOU to love these pieces of YOU. I think we often classify people as these binary and polarizing dichotomies. We create an “either or.” Either we are strong or we are weak. Either we are loving or we are hard. Either we are living or dying. We are complex individuals born into duality. We are both life and death in every breath, as old cells die for new ones to be born. We can be sad or tender while also being strong and powerful, which I believe to be deeply true, as tenderness and vulnerability is (to me) the most palpable form of strength. The complexity is what makes us uniquely beautiful yet we hide so much of ourself out of fear that we may not be loved for it. Here is a little reminder that I LOVE YOU FOR IT. ALL of it. ALL of you. Don’t hide who you are. Let it shine and if someone doesn’t love it… then they don’t get to have the gift of the magic that is you, which gives you more space to give that love and acceptance to yourself. I love you all… in all ways.
Late nights pondering my time in the mud and dust… 🔥
Peace and the Middle East 🤍

I’m wary of how we typically show only the joyous moments of our lives on social media. I worry that this causes people to idealize others lives and therefore look down upon their own. Everyone has challenging days, weeks, months… it is human. We all experience pain and discomfort. We are all human. We are all flawed, yet perfect. Each of us is uniquely perfectly imperfect. I had a really hard week… it’s normal. It’s human. Let’s normalize our humanness in all of its perfect imperfection. I hope this serves as a reminder to remove comparison and idealization and instead choose to love and acceptance. It’s okay to not be okay. Be kind and patient with yourself. LET you BE you. You’re amazing.✨
Can’t wait to meet little Amelie!! You’re going to be the best Mommy and she is beyond lucky to have you and Pete as parents. And I’m selfishly so excited to be an auntie!!! I love you @erica_sauer 💕

In today’s transmission, Zahara connects with her friend, creatrix, actor, director and magic maker @jade.tailor Beginning at the ages of nine and ten respectively, Jade and her brother were left home—completely unattended—for extended periods of time. When her mother did return, Jade still found herself playing the role of caretaker, a role that has inspired her current evolutionary path. In this episode, Jade dives deep into the details of her childhood trauma and how it shaped her into the full-spectrum, deeply empathetic superwoman she is today. In this episode of The Dojo: • How Jade’s lack of caretakers as a child sharpened her own inner caretaker • Jade’s lunar cycle story: trauma’s impact on our somatic wiring • Pondering the life-giving nature of pain • Finding balance between honoring self and honoring others • How creativity became Jade’s safe place and savior • Transcending the shadow sides of the entertainment industry #TheDojoPodcast #Higherself #Liberation
Jade Tailor knocked our socks off as the tough-skinned, tender-hearted Kady Orloff-Diaz in Syfy’s “The Magicians”. But she’s a multi-talented, multi-dimensional artist who expresses across many disciplines, including writing, directing, songwriting and more. We talk about why storytelling is important to her, how different creative disciplines hit different parts of the brain, and why it’s really time all of us re-watched “Hook.” (She also may or may not drag out a big box of Magicians props and memorabilia.)
