About me

Hey bestie!! I’m ici — a self-growth junkie, soul searcher, and unapologetic lover of the moments that make you feel most alive.

I spent seven years as a licensed veterinary technician thinking I’d found my dream job until I realized I was running on empty. My life looked “good” on paper, but it didn’t feel good in my soul. I craved something deeper. I’d always been drawn to content creation, but every time I tried, I quit afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or fully seen.

Eventually, I stopped running. What started as a side plan became the boldest decision of my life: to step into the unknown and build a life that actually feels like mine.

I didn’t get here by accident. I grew up without my father and with a mentally ill mother — a childhood that taught me to anticipate everyone else’s emotions while ignoring my own. That survival mode made me grow up fast… but it also pulled me toward toxic love that felt just like home. For years, I chased and attracted men who mirrored my wounds. And when I wasn’t losing myself in them, I was losing myself in my party-girl era: loud on the outside, quietly ashamed on the inside.

It’s taken years to unlearn the patterns that kept me small. But every “messy” chapter became a building block. Every heartbreak, every reinvention, every time I put myself out there and got knocked down — all of it shaped the woman I am now: unstoppable, unapologetic, and absolutely done with playing small.

People ask me all the time, “How do you do it all?” The truth? I’ve had to. This is my fourth time putting myself out there to create online content — and I’m not gonna lie, it’s terrifying. My fear and doubt still whisper, delete it all, and I’ve listened to that voice before… more than once.

But this time, I’m sticking to my why — to keep inspiring people the way I always have, just with a bigger audience. I know the power of connection, of sharing the messy middle and the breakthroughs, and I’m finally ready to do it without disappearing when it gets uncomfortable.

This space is for anyone ready to stop shrinking and remember who they are. Together, we’ll…
✨ Heal from the inside out
🧠 Build self-trust and emotional strength
🌱 Ground yourself through rituals like meditation and journaling
🎨 Express yourself through fashion, poetry, art and other interests & hobbies
🌙 Live a life that feels like freedom — not performance

I’m not here to sell perfection. I’m here to tell the truth. To remind you that your story isn’t too much, your past doesn’t disqualify you, and your dreams aren’t too big.

I’ve only just started sharing this new chapter online, so if you click my links and see only a handful of posts that’s because you’re catching me right at the beginning. I’d love for you to follow along as it grows, to be here for the messy, beautiful, in-real-time build of something I’ve walked away from three times before… but this time, I’m here to stay.

If you’re ready to grow with me, to rewrite your story, and to fall madly in love with your life — on purpose — then you’re in the right place.
