This is for anyone who feels imposter syndrome, like they’re not enough, or not where they’re ‘supposed to be.’ A reminder for you (and for myself) to trust the timing of your life. Right now, I’m in New York, spending time with my family, and it’s been beautiful—therapeutic, even. What was supposed to be just a month for the holidays has me thinking… maybe, I’ll stay permanently?
I’m a doer. I can’t sit still, always need a plan. But lately, I’ve been asking myself: What’s my purpose? What do I want to accomplish in this next phase of life? Where do I want to be? What do I want to do? Maybe a few things will change… maybe everything will. And the truth is, I don’t have the answers right now. That’s hard for me—feeling like I’m not doing enough, like I’m falling behind, like they’re going to figure out I’m a fraud. The endless ‘What am I doing with my life?’ cycle. (emoji) It’s exhausting.
So I’m practicing grace (pun intended) with myself. Taking it day by day. Plugging away! Still acting, still writing, still creating, but being kinder to myself. I give thanks every day for this blessed life and I’m giving myself time to figure out what’s next. Is this a midlife crisis? Maybe. But it doesn’t feel like a crisis. It feels more like an intervention—with myself. And there’s actually something super empowering about that. Thoughts?

Dating after divorce? I can’t believe I’m actually talking about this, but here we go. Honestly, at first, it was fun—like, really fun! But that faded fast. Once the ‘OMG I’m single again!’ excitement wore off, and I was ready for a real relationship, things got… less fun.
The apps (which didn’t even exist the last time I was single), the awkward small talk, and trying to figure out if someone’s emotionally available— those were definitely the worst parts. It’s been 3.5 years since my ex-husband and I split, and I’ll be real, it’s been challenging. But the hardest part? Putting myself out there and trusting again. That’s the scary stuff. But through it all, I’ve learned so much about myself.
Now, I’m not looking for perfection—because, let’s be honest, it doesn’t exist—I’m looking for a genuine connection. Someone who loves as hard as I do and has my back, no matter what. I’m finally in a good place with it all and excited about building a future with someone, but it took time to get here. So, to anyone recently divorced or single and struggling, trust me—it gets better. You’ll learn so much about yourself and end up with someone who’s right for who you are…now.

Being thin is one thing, but feeling strong is something else—and right now, I don’t feel strong. It’s wild how fast things change. One minute I’m 25, the next I’m 46, and my body’s like, ‘Hope you had fun, because it’s all downhill from here!’ (emoji) I know that’s not really the case, but things are definitely different. Alcohol? If I dare to have more than one drink, I get night sweats, migraines, even heart palpitations! And let’s not talk about how easily I can strain a muscle just getting out of bed the wrong way. But why?! Well, I’m older, my body is changing, hormones are making me psychotic and I just need to do more to feel good these days. So it’s time to really get my sh*t together: strength training, Pilates, yoga—the works. Because looking cute is great, but feeling good? That’s everything. What makes you feel fit?

For over a decade, I worked as a personal stylist, fashion blogger, and on-camera style expert. One question I kept hearing was, 'How do I dress age-appropriately?' Why, though? I understood the concern, but the idea that we need to change our style because of age? That’s nuts. Why can’t women over 40 be sexy, stylish, chic, or cool? Why should age define how we dress?

I always told my clients to wear what makes them feel beautiful, confident, and strong. Whether you're a mom, grandma, in your 40s, 50s or 90s, you can still look and feel incredible! I'm 46, and I’ll be wearing what makes me feel confident and hot until the day I die.

And before someone chimes in with, ‘But you don’t look your age…’ or ‘You’re thin…’ or ‘You’re not a mom,’ let me just say this: there are plenty examples of women on this app—older, plus-size, moms, grandmas—who look absolutely amazing because they don’t let society’s outdated rules dictate their style. Let’s embrace that energy! Thoughts?

Happy Hispanic/Latino/e Heritage Month! Did you know why it runs from September 15th to October 15th? It marks the independence anniversaries of several Latin American countries—including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, and Chile. It’s a month to honor our culture, our history, and our contributions. As an Afro-Latina of Dominican ancestry, I’m so proud to celebrate my heritage and people. We’re a beautiful mix of African, Indigenous, and European cultures, and that blend is what makes us unique. I’ve learned over the years that being Afro-Latina isn’t about fitting into one box—it’s about embracing ALL of who I am. This month and every month, I’m celebrating all the vibrancy, resilience, and pride that comes with being part of this incredible community. Drop your flag in the comments!

TRUST THE TIMING OF YOUR LIFE.

Soon after I went to college, my family moved to Upstate NY. I was 19, but my siblings were still young. They grew up here and have lived here most or all of their lives. I, on the other hand, was born and raised in New York and lived in LA for the past 15+ years. I’m a city slicker. 

But now, I’m living upstate too and I F**KING LOVE IT. I honestly can’t believe how much I love it. It’s absolutely beautiful with so many opportunities to immerse yourself in nature. I always say “trust the timing of your life” and truly believe that I belong here right now. Yet, I still can’t believe that I never saw how beautiful it was before. I mean, I loved coming home, but after a couple of weeks I was always ready for the city life again. This time I’m chilling. 

I’m basking in the tranquility. The fresh veggies from my family’s garden, fresh eggs from my sister’s chickens, kayaking in still lakes and swimming under waterfalls. Upstate New York is so special. And when I need a little change, I hop on a train and I’m in NYC in 2 hours. I don’t know how long I’ll stay up here, but I’m in no rush to leave. 

If you ever get the chance to “take a break with us for the summer, let’s go upstate” (that’s for my Hamilton lovers)…then DO IT! In particularly, the Hudson Valley and Catskills. Happy Weekend!
Toes in the grass, cartwheels and chickens. She’s in her nature era.
