The Day Everything Changed (Even If I Didn’t Know It Yet)

Three years ago today, I received an application that felt... different.

As many of you know, I offer empowering boudoir sessions for women who are ready to see themselves through a new lens—one of confidence, beauty, and fierce self-worth. That day, I had put out a model call. I was looking for women with powerful stories—those in the middle of transformation, those craving a reminder of their radiance.

And that’s when she showed up.

Nikki had submitted her story for consideration, and as I read it, something stirred deep in my chest. She was a stay-at-home mom at the time, deep in the chaotic and beautiful trenches of motherhood, raising two little girls. She had lost touch with herself—as so many of us do—but something inside her was waking up.

She was rediscovering her gifts. She was owning her identity as a psychic medium. She was starting a business.

And she was scared. But ready.

I knew I needed to photograph her. But what I didn’t know yet was that she’d become one of the most important people in my life.

After her session, we stayed in touch. At first it was casual—“let’s get together and talk business.” But our “business meetings” quickly turned into soul-nourishing conversations, inside jokes, endless laughter, and unshakable support. Our friendship bloomed just as fast as our partnership.

I thought I was helping her launch her business by sharing my platform and social audience. What I didn’t realize was that we were building something much bigger. Something sacred.

We weren’t just two businesswomen—we were soul sisters creating a space for other women like us. Women craving meaning. Connection. Confidence. Freedom. Magic.

And now… here we are.

We’ve hosted multiple retreats together, and each one has been filled with transformation, tears, laughter, and deep, soul-level healing. What started as a model call became a movement.

And the next chapter of that movement is happening May 3rd in Stockholm, NY.

It’s called the Mind, Body & Soul Retreat, and it’s not your average women’s retreat. This isn’t stiff schedules and surface-level chit chat. This is a come-as-you-are, laugh-til-you-cry, dig-deep-and-rise-higher kind of day.

With:

✨ Confidence-building presentations

📸 Optional boudoir, personality, or “FU” photo sessions

🔮 Choose-your-own-adventure offerings like tarot or mediumship

🫶 Games and activities to reconnect you with yourself
