2023 was a beautiful year of learning growth. i took the longest trip i’ve done so far and spent two months solo in SE Asia. Bali, Thailand and Vietnam were an absolute dream ✨ i performed Life in a Box to an event full of people who resonated with its message. i got to hear their stories and how the song impacted them. 🥲 i learned which people things deserve more of my time and which deserve less. i also took some leaps of faith 👋🏼 i had 3 premieres for projects i’m in and/or helped make: The Counterfeit Kid, @underdevshow and Box Boy. premiering Box Boy at @filmquest was one of the biggest highlights of my entire year. i said goodbye to two of my aunts ❤️🩹 i learned how difficult and time-consuming post production on a movie is. i stopped going to fitness classes, started lifting heavier and conquered my fear of “normal” gyms. i learned that my art impacts people and to stop doubting my power as a creator. i learned that i don’t have to “box” myself in to one role or title. i get to do a lot of things (too many things in fact.. more on that in the coming weeks 😉) and i get to be successful at them all too. i did a lot of auditions and worked on many sets, despite there being a strike. everything i participated in was either a commercial or had a waiver. 🎬 i reallyyyy focused (and still am) on building better habits. skin care, masks, journaling, meditating, reading, daily weekly planning, walks, reg gym attendance, eating a lot of protein, gratitude affirmations, podcasts and habit stacking are some things i prioritized. some of these i’m still working on being consistent at, so i will continue to bring this focus into 2024. my mom and Lee (mom’s husb) came out to LA to help me re-decorate my room & i LOVE it. like always, i invested in coaching and training to help me become the best version of myself. i wrote the script for my next project 👀 i tested the waters with clothes and am slowly finding my style. i got 3 new pairs of Nikes this year—sorry not sorry 🙃 i was on a lot of podcasts and had some fun interviews. overall, i became a better version of myself in 2023. i’m proud of that, and i vow to do the same in 2024 🫡
IN: – phone on do not disturb 📲 (so much easier to focus!) – going to bed early waking up early 🫠 (working on these two, they are an opportunity for growth for me lol) ✅ – daily walks with Maisy 🐾 (hot girl walks w/ iced coffee) – living as the future version of me now 👩🏼💻 (daily steps to act in alignment with what she would do) – prioritizing working on my goals over socializing or “networking” 📍(so easy to get distracted in LA when there’s always so much to do!) – Muay Thai classes (discovered this in Thailand and fell in love) 🥊 – reading before bed 📖 (no expectations or limits, just reading as much as i have time for. currently reading Be Your Future Self Now by Dr. Benjamin Hardy) – planning every day and night (as someone who likely has ADHD, this has been a ✨game changer✨ for me with getting distracted less) 🗓️ – getting nails done regularly 💅🏼 (i feel so much better about myself when my nails are done) – habit-stacking 📈 (pairing something you don’t wanna do with something you get to do/like doing) – cultivating a community of like-minded people 🧠 (you become the 5 people you spend the most time with!) OUT: – saying yes to not disappoint someone ❌ (not a people-pleaser anymore) – letting files photos on my computer and phone go into an unsorted black hole of doom (now, everything gets organized as soon as i save it or deleted immediately) 📸 – getting annoyed with bad drivers (hahah i am chill about most things in my life except clutter and bad drivers 😅) – boxing myself into one identity or thing – i can do more than one thing & be good at all of them (more on this soon 👀📦) – being late (ADHD = time optimism, meaning we always think we have more time than we do. i’m often on time but scrambling, or 2-5 mins late. i’d like to start being EARLY) – friendships where hyping up each other’s accomplishments isn’t reciprocal 👯♀️ (being very selective about where i invest my energy) – disposable makeup wipes 💄 (trying to reduce my waste!) – taking initiative first in dating 🙅🏼♀️ (historically have been the first to text, show interest etc. but i’m staying in my lane 🙃) what are yours? ⬇️
From screening Box Boy in an auditorium with no power (the filmmaker Q&A was lit by phone flashlights alone), to my aunt’s funeral, to event-hopping at Sundance Slamdance, the past couple weeks have been a whirlwind. Having a career in the arts is sometimes crazyy but i honestly love it and wouldn’t trade it for a thing. 🙂 #lifeupdate #recap #diarypost #multihypenate #multipassionate #multipassionateentrepreneur #filmfestival #indiefilm #indiefilmmaker

As a kid, I remember praying every night that my Aunt Kenra’s cancer would go away. I’m sad to say that her battle ended this past week, and our hearts are broken. She was so adored by all who knew her, and there was no one better at making you feel like a million bucks than Aunt Kenra. She loved and celebrated others at every turn. You felt love beyond compare in her presence and she was the world’s best cheerleader. Some of my favorite memories are from my first trip to Europe in 2017. My mom lived with Aunt Kenra and Uncle Randy in Germany in her 20’s, and I’d heard all about it growing up. To spend time with my family in the country I’d heard about my whole life was a dream come true. I’ll never forget my first (and second) time to Hawaii to visit my Aunt Kenra and my Uncle Randy in their beautiful home. Aunt Kenra had a long list of activities for us to enjoy and helped us plan our trip down to the hour. She took us to her favorite swapmeet near Honolulu, shared her favorite foods and taught us about the island. She had the most beautiful gift basket waiting for us on the bed, a sweet hand-written welcome on the door and a fresh sliced pineapple in the fridge. I’ll never forget those cherished Hawaii moments of cooking with her in the kitchen and sharing stories around the dinner table. My family spends Christmas Eve with this side of the family, and spending that time with Aunt Kenra was something I always looked forward to. She always lovingly encouraged me to sing for our family’s talent show and even though I still get nervous, when I would look at my Aunt Kenra the nerves would disappear. Most recently, my Uncle Randy and Aunt Kenra were among some of the very first people to buy tickets to the Utah premiere of Box Boy two months ago. Unfortunately due to her declining health they weren’t able to attend, but we drove up to share the film with them. Even in the thick of her battle with cancer, she still managed to ask me all about it to show her interest and love. My Aunt Kenra is one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever known, inside and out. I miss her and am so grateful for everything she taught me. I love you. Until we meet again 💗
