If I've learned anything from life, it's that sometimes the darkest times can bring us to the brightest places. 🌸 • I've learned that the most toxic people can teach us the most important lessons; • that our most painful struggles can grant us the most necessary growth; 🐛🦋 • and that the most heartbreaking losses of friendship and love can make room for the most wonderful people. 🙏🏽💞 • I've learned that what seems like a curse in the moment can actually be a blessing, and that what seems like the end of the road is actually just the discovery that are meant to travel down a different path. 🏝️🌊 • I've learned that no matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope. 🙏🏽 • —And I've learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can't give up. We have to keep going. • Even when it's scary, even when all of our strength seems gone, we have to keep picking ourselves back up and moving forward, because whatever we're battling in the moment, it will pass, and we will make it through. 🦁🦄🐬 • We've made it this far. We can make it through whatever comes next. 🌱🌸✨ • 📸 Photos by the magical @_oneluciddream_ @_lucidlulu_ 📝 Some of my favorite inspirational words by: Danielle Koepke (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqhM2kPL-Ic/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s my birthday today. 🌸🦋🦁🦄🕊🌿✨ 36 on 3/11. This year, I REBIRTHED myself—my life, my love, my boundaries, my discernment, my circles, and my home. 🌿 I stepped into queendome. I took the time to understand my deepest traumas, to hold myself through my worst fears, to find my innermost desires, to trust my intuition, and to know my core needs or requirements. 🌿 I AM CLEAR. 💎 🌿 In this process of growth and expansion, I realized that I can only show up to provide to others when my own needs are met. I can’t love another unless I truly show up to love myself—with action, expression, discipline, and DEVOTION. 🐛🦋 🌿 What clarity has revealed to me... ✨ A true QUEEN pays attention to fulfilling her needs so she can provide for others. ✨ An EMBODIED woman understands how getting her needs met makes her feel and what getting those needs met will provide for her (and others). ✨ Maturity is learning to trust yourself. I have faith in the process, AND I’ve proved to myself I have all the tools I need to navigate ANY future path. ✨ I can be soft and powerful simultaneously. I must always honor my intuition and watery emotions. It’s my strength. 🌸🌊 ✨ It’s within a safe, cultivated space that we can show up to fully nurture and care for others and ourselves. ✨ We aren’t victims to the elements—we ARE the element. 🔥 We have the ability to choose how we wish to live our lives.👈🏽 🌿 This Pisces girl has learned to paint her life with curiosity, possibility, and growth opportunities. 🎨 I am here to live a purpose-driven life—with as many ripe, colorful, drippy delicious fruits as I possibly can. 🍓🌈🍇🍉🫐💫 🌿 For those who have been on this path with me, I just want to say THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. Let’s keep moving forward. 🌺 🌿 KB 11.0. Welcome home. 🕊️ 🌿 📸 Photo by @_lucidlulu_ @_oneluciddream_ 💕 Body art by @isabel_mariposa_galactica #birthday #fullyraw #vegan #art (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CprHhrVL2vX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Plants are medicine. Food is nourishment, not punishment. 🍓🍇🥭🌈🍊🥝🍒✨ …It’s a BODY, MIND, & SOUL journey. We are responsible for how we choose to take care of our immune systems. • When I take the time to be present with my thoughts while eating, I always find myself in awe and gratitude of how incredible nature is for providing us with such perfect abundance. Nature gifts us with everything we need to be healthy. Simple things like juicy drippy-delicious fruits, sunshine, sleep, rest, laughter, connection, touch, movement, breathwork, forgiveness, compassion, and love are powerful and healing remedies. • Treat your body with kindness by feeding it healthy foods. Your body will thank you for it. 🥭🫐🍒💫 • Who agrees? 🙏🏽 • #healthy #lifestyle #fun #delicious #recipes #plantbased #vegans #veganism #veganfood #vegansofig #veganrecipes #vegano #organic #fruit #rawvegan (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxYb69Jo5m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It takes tremendous courage to say, “My heart is fully OPEN to love again.” 🌹 • After surviving so much, it can be a TERRIFYING thing to TRUST—and to KNOW that you are deserving & worthy of reciprocity, service, empathy, affection, selflessness, and peace. • It takes time to recover from heartbreak. Deeper healing is required to step into a place of knowing exactly what you deserve. Then, knowing how to stand firm in that conviction. • If you want to experience the deepest possible connection, first start with self-care. You cannot love another until you can wholeheartedly LOVE YOURSELF. • ✨ Know what another cannot complete you. ✨ Stop building homes in other people and start building a home within yourself. ✨ Boundaries & communication are the foundation for healthy relationships. ✨ God is your source & you are your source—never another. • The beautiful @indiaarie wrote a song, "I am ready for love." Every time I hear her song, I am reminded of the REBIRTH journey. It takes effort to put yourself back together better than you were before—and to be able to pour love into another. 🐛🦋 I spent all of last year rebirthing my heart and my home. I burnt the old house down, and I built a new one within myself. The love I’ve discovered within me is insurmountable. I refer to it as stepping into my QUEENDOME. I’ve discovered I can be soft and strong simultaneouly. It's a GIFT. • It takes courage to stay open when you’ve been hurt so many times. Faith is required to step in a place of knowing and deserving. • The invitation is always to get CLEAR. You can’t fulfill your heart’s deepest desires unless you know what you want and are willing to go for it. • You don’t have to trust another person. You only have to trust yourself. Connect back to YOU first. Make sure you stand firm in alignment with who you are. Let the rest fall into place. 🙏🏽 • I love you. There’s love within you and all around you. • KB 🌸🦁🐬 • 📸 @_oneluciddream_ @_lucidlulu_ We have created so much magic together.

My mom recently gifted me this swimsuit she used to love wearing in the 70’s. 🦁🌕💫 I also inherited her LION mane, which many of you know I refer to as MUFASA. 🦁🥰 While my mom and I are two different individuals with very different personalities, people often say I’m her carbon copy. My mother and all the women before her have given me the blueprint to step into who I AM as a woman. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to feel them with me always. ❤️‍🔥🌹 • My Moon is in LEO 🦁, and this Pisces 🌊 is LOVING this FULL MOON IN LEO. 🔥🌕🔥 • While my chart is very watery, I’m learning to embrace my fire and all the people and pieces who have shaped me or who have made me who I am. 🙏🏽 • I have learned that we must… ✨ Step into the fire—or become it. ✨ Feel our deepest feelings—so that they may become our superpowers. ✨ Find growth opportunities in every moment—so that we may continue to grow. ✨ Honor those who’ve lit the paths before you—so that you will carry grace with you no matter where you go. ✨ Always remember who YOU ARE—and rise into your POWER. • I believe that now—more than ever—we are given permission to step into WHO WE ARE without fear. LOVE feels good to you and have the courage to embrace it. ❤️‍🔥 • HAPPY FULL MOON. 💫🌕💫 • KB 🌸🦁🐬 • 📸 @_oneluciddream_ @_lucidlulu_ We have created so much magic together.

Nearly 18 years raw vegan & feeling more alive than ever…✨ I went from being a type 2 diabetic hyperglycemic to a strong, healthy woman. I’ve never looked back. It’s been over 17 years since I’ve consumed meat, dairy, gluten, all processed foods, etc. 🤯 I can confidently say I’m in the best health and shape of my life. No deficiencies. Feeling younger by the day. This journey has changed me, and I’m forever grateful. 🥭🙏🏽✨ • I look back and only imagine what my life would be like without this gift of knowledge and health freedom. ✨🙏🏽✨ For those who say that diet or lifestyle choices doesn’t matter, I’m a living testimony THAT THEY DO. Now more than ever, eating a clean plant-based diet with a rich emphasis on more fruits and vegetables helps you to feel your best, and also importantly, helps save animal lives and the planet too. 🐛🌎🦋💕 • I’ve learned so much on my journey, and what I’ll share with you is this: every step you take matters. Start with one #fullyraw #vegan meal a day. Start juicing. Plan. Prepare. Share. Learn to grow your own food and live sustainably. This is an abundant lifestyle! 🥥 While it may seem like it’s all about the food...it’s about much more than that—it’s a body, mind, and spirit transformation. ☀️ • I’m so excited about my upcoming 21-Day Vegan & Juicing challenge! The goal is to simply eat one raw vegan meal a day + drink one fresh juice a day—I’ll also be hosting 21-days of LIVE Zoom calls to answer your questions and support you every step along the way. We start together on the 21st! Sign-up now & get access to the recipes. You can join via my website or app. Links in bio! 🥭🍇🍓🥑 • To those who’ve been on this journey with me and who have continued to support and encourage me...I love you. THANK YOU!

In my quest for clarity this past year, I’ve realized most people don’t actually know what they really want or where they are going. My biggest invitation of 2022 was to GET CLEAR and HEAL. 💫 • I stepped into queendome. I took the time to understand my deepest traumas, to hold myself through my worst fears, to find my innermost desires, to trust my intuition, and to know my core needs or requirements. • I rebirthed myself and got to know myself on a level I didn’t know I could before. • I GOT CRYSTAL CLEAR. 💎 • In the process of stepping into this absolute new space of rebirth, I realized that I can only show up to provide to others when my own needs are met. I can’t love another unless I truly show up to love myself—with action, expression, discipline, discerment, and boundaries. • What clarity has revealed to me... ✨ A true queen pays attention to fulfilling her needs so she can provide for others. ✨ An embodied woman understands how getting her needs met makes her feel and what getting those needs met will provide for her (and others). ✨ It’s within a safe, cultivated space that we can show up to fully nurture and care for others and ourselves. • We aren’t victims to the elements—we ARE the element. We have the ability to trust ourselves and to choose how we wish to navigate our road ahead. READ THAT AGAIN. 👈🏽 • Moving into 2023, I now truly understand that it’s a GIFT to be clear and to choose where we want our paths to take us. 🐛🦋 • This is the difference between those who want to go somewhere vs. others who don’t care if they go anywhere at all. 🌟 • I am here to live an extraordinary life—with lots of sparkles on top. 🦄🦁🐬 • This is not the easier path. If you’re on this road with me, please know you’re not alone. I’m here doing THE WORK with you. • Love, • KB 🌸 • @_oneluciddream_ @_lucidlulu_ We have created so much magic together.

I burned the old house down…🔥 …and I built a new one…. within myself. 🌹 • This little poem I wrote defines my 2022. • I used to base my accomplishments by what I could list or check-off on paper—and by how much I could fit on that paper...but this year my biggest WINS weren’t tangible in that same way. My growth is shown via my inner work and the time I took to heal my heart. I planted trees, I joined support groups, I honed in on my inner circle of closest friends, I took infinite baths, I loved unconditionally whereever it was needed…and I rebuilt my home…literally and figuratively. 🌸 • I’ve stepped into the most embodied and empowered version of myself, and I can’t wait to continue to grow in 2023. ✨ • It feels good to trust yourself more than you trust the process. I have faith in the process, AND I trust myself no matter what happens. I’ve proved to myself I have all the tools I need to navigate ANY road. • It feels good to honor your boundaries. It feels good to practice discernment. • I’ve built a new home within myself. It’s a peaceful and graceful place with a touch of badass unicorn. 🦄🦋🦁 • KB 11.0. Welcome home. 🕊️ • It’s been a TOUGH and challenging year for so many of us. Please be gentle with yourself and focus on what you DID move through this year. That is ENOUGH. Celebrate those wins. You’re never alone. We got this. ✨ • KB • These photos were taken by my beautiful friend—the stunning & talented @_oneluciddream_ @_lucidlulu_ Thank you for holding a safe space always. LOVE YOU! 🌹😘 (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0QpxsL-g-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My family is visiting, and this is the first time in 17 years that we have celebrated a vegan Thanksliving together. ♥️ It’s my first time hosting a holiday dinner, and it’s been a dream. I AM SO GRATEFUL. • I can’t express how full my heart feels right now—to be able to spend this time with my family and to have them be so excited about sharing plant-based meals together. If you’ve been following my journey awhile, then you’ll know the first 4-5 years that I was vegan, the holidays were pretty brutal. My mom barely spoke to me for years, and I was never allowed to eat at the “adult” table because I was too much of an embarassment. There were lots of arguments around food, and many emotions came up for all of us. It wasn’t just about food, it was cultural. Many unhealthy generational patterns were brought to the forefront. It’s taken years of communication and collective healing to get to the point where we are today. There is so much love in our family, and we are all so genuinely happy just to be with one another right now. • I don’t take one second of these moments together for granted. • I often have people message and ask me how to make vegan holiday recipes or how I’ve managed to make it through the holidays being vegan. I also have people who ask how I have managed to create a circle of supportive family and friends around me now. This was not an overnight trasnformation. IT TAKES TIME. It’s literally taken 17+ years…and it’s been the most humbling and rewarding part of the healing process. I hope me sharing some of these memories with you gives you hope and let’s you know that you’re not alone. There are individuals out there who are striving to rebirth relationships, create deeper connections, and live healthier. • Thank you for allowing me to share these moments with you, and thank YOU for being a part of my journey all of these years. Whewwww I’m emotional even writing this. 😭 • I am so grateful to YOU, so I just want to share a simple THANK YOU. 🙏🏽 • Wishing you a wonderful weekend and much love. • KB 🌸🐬🦁🦄🦋 • #thanksgiving #thankful #grateful #family #vegan #vegansofig #plantbased #fullyraw #veganrecipes #veganfood (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clc3XFyLO2F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The journey to EMBODIMENT has been a FIERCE one for me. 🐆🐾🌿 My life has taken so many drastic turns. The only place that’s truly felt secure has been my heart. My body has become my home. • 🌿 In 2019 I traveled to 22 countries. I was living part time in Bali while running wellness retreats & doing speaking events across the globe. 🌿 Before that, I dedicated 11 years of my life to serving the Houston community, running @rawfullyorganic and @fullyrawjuice. This was the most fulfilling time of my life, and it’s the reason many of you know me today. 🌿 Before that, I was an art student at Rice University working three jobs & making it by as a calculus & physics tutor. My life plan was to to be a ceramicist and sculptural artist. 🌿 Before that, I was sick much of my adolescence with type 2 diabetes. I found a raw vegan lifestyle…and a whole new world opened up to this Lebanese Latina. My whole life path changed, and I began my path to healing. • Many of you have seen me grow and evolve over the past 17+ years. I’ve experienced loss, betrayal, defamation, abuse, heartbreak, and more—all while continuing to passionately share my message about raw foods & wellness. 🥭 • Somehow I ended up here. My heart. My home. Growing 623 fruit trees in Hawaii— establishing my own organic fruit orchard—committed more than ever to living in alignment with my belief system. 🐛🦋🐬 • I am completely at peace with where I’m at, even though it’s the road less travelled and definitely wasn’t in the plans. • Sometimes life is in motion for the better. We are forever growing and evolving. • I love who I’m BECOMING. 🌹 • There is nothing more powerful than an EMBODIED female. She knows her worth. She is confident because she’s experienced enough life lessons to know how to carry herself in ANY situation. 🔥 • I bless the traumas that brought me to where I am today. 🙏🏽 • I choose growth. I choose self-awareness. I choose healing. • To those who need to hear this, please know that even if your life path changes a million times or if you feel hopeless, I promise it will be OK. You’re not alone. Things are happening FOR you. • Love always, • KB 🐬🦁🌸 • 📸 @_lucidlulu_ @_oneluciddream_ (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClKvMApLt_V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

MY FIRST BANANA HARVEST…and it’s ABUNDANT! 🍌🤩🥰🤪🍌 I’ve planted 623 fruit trees on the property since I’ve lived here, and this is my first offical fruit harvest from the banana palms I’ve planted. I guess you could say I’m so excited I’m going bananas?! 🍌🙈🍌🙊🙉🍌 • For me, this is what it is all about. 🙏🏽 There is no greater joy than getting to grow my own food, to feel more connected with what I am putting into my body, and to witness the miracles of growth and nature. 🌿 It’s a physical, mental, and spiritual nourishment, and it feels so good to be living in alignment with the beliefs that truly bring fulfilment to my heart. 🫶🏽 Its about showing respect to the earth and living compassionately. 🌎 I believe that learning to grow food fosters not only a better connection with nature, but also a better relationship with yourself. 🥬🥒🌶🫑🥦🥕🍅💫 • Very soon I will be giving you a new garden and property update. 🌱 Of the 623 trees planted, there are 96 different fruit varities on the property such as avocados, citrus, mangos, bananas, papayas, longans, lychees, mangosteen, coconuts, cacao, jackfruit, durian, dragonfruit, lilikoi, and sapote just to name a few. I’ve also planted sugar cane, turmeric, açaí palms, and sugarloaf pineapple. 👌🏽🌳🥰 • I’ve learned so much to get to this point. It’s been extremely humbling…& 💯 worth it. Thank you Rod for being my right hand. I couldn’t do this without you or without the helping hands who have put their soul into this soil with me. 🌱 What a journey it’s been! Each tree has been carefully placed and SO lovingly planted. ♥️ • I hope this somehow inspires you to not only become more conscious about what you consume and support, but also to eat more plant-based meals and to eat REAL FOOD. This is a full-on awakening. 👈🏽 • Thank you for allowing me to share my journey with you…these are just a few nuggets from my life lately. So so so much more to come! 🙏🏽🥑 • Love always, • KB 🌺 • #fullyraw #vegan #garden #gardening #fruit #planting #trees #veganrecipes #vegansofig #plantpowered #juicing #greens #grow #sustainability #healthy #lifestyle #banana #bananas #healthylifestyle (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4t_QDLohQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are all works of art. 🌸💫 In a world where everyone wants to be someone else, I strive to be the most healthy and vibrant version of myself. The only person I want to be...IS ME. 🌿 • It’s not everyday that we allow ourselves to be TRULY SEEN. 🌟 • Don’t be afraid to explore your magic—and to allow it come to come to LIFE. This has been a part of my process in becoming a woman. 🌷 • To remain SOFT isn’t weakness, it’s strength. • To remain COMPASSIONATE isn’t naive, it’s leadership. • To remain OPEN isn’t negligent. It’s brave. • No one can take from you what you refuse to give them. BOUNDARIES aren’t mean. They are essential for self-respect and inner growth. • I don’t celebrate Halloween anymore. I’m just here to be myself. I’m joyful about it. Recent years have felt like enough of a horror story for the world. I only choose to allow good forces into my energy field at this point in life: I choose to move forward in LIFE with positivity, grace, peace, hope, and LOVE. Above all these is LOVE. 🌹 • We are all works of art. May we all bring our art to life. 💓 • Love you. Thank you. Appreciate you. • 📸 Photo by @earthtoyoni 🌷 Body art by @isabel_mariposa_galactica 🫦 Makeup by: @kaijabross 💕 (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZxmobLX_M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Scorpio season is here. It’s time for REBIRTH. 🦋 My father recently told me that if someone is living in a state of awareness, they will have the blessing and opportunity to rebirth themselves in life. Words spoken by a true Scorpio. 🥀🌹🐛 • Often times, I think about how many times I have experienced the death of an old-self and given rise to a new one. 🕊 I’ve had to rebirth myself several times in my lifetime. I’ve written story after story, with chapter after chapter. It’s always felt gruesome and painful. My father has shown me otherwise. There is much beauty in this transformation when you allow it. I’m a Pisces sun and Scorpio rising. He’s a Scorpio sun and Pisces moon. My father has exemplified much for me and been my greatest guide. 🌿🙏🏽✨ • I choose the path to EMBODIMENT, and every day I understand more and more what it means to be in the process of BECOMING. My intention is to live in complete alignment with who I know I am and who I want to be. 🌹 • To embody one’s full essence. To become the best version of yourself. To hold yourself with grace and compassion while still practicing discernment and boundaries every step along the way. To practice unconditional love—with yourself and with others. • I talk about BECOMING often, because the journey is always evolving and expanding before us. 🥀🌹💫 • Healing isn’t linear. We don’t always have the answers in front of us, but this is why I believe it’s so important to continue moving forward in faith—to connect our past, present, future selves. • Our rebirths are filled with lessons and guides, and it’s through following our hearts and intuition that we keep putting one step in front of another. We move forward with faith. • Listen. Breathe. Bathe. Submerge. FEEL. 🌊 • I’m continuously humbled and in the process of BECOMING. We are all on our own healing journeys. • Thank you dad for teaching me that having self-awareness brings infinite possibilities to rebirth oneself. ♥️ • For those on this path with me, I just want to say you’re not alone. I LOVE YOU. 🦄🐬🦁 • KB • These photos were taken by the lovely & talented @_oneluciddream_ @_lucidlulu_ Thank you for holding a safe space. LOVE YOU! 🌹😘 (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkEhbSuyJ0G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Every time I get to spend time with my dad, it’s like medicine for my soul. He flew in to spend Father’s Day with me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. 🏝♥️🌊 Estoy muy agradecida porque mi papi voló a verme para estar conmigo para el día del padre. ¡Estamos pasando felices días! • We’ve been filling up our time with beautiful hikes, beach time, and lots of fun. It’s always nice to have him blasting his old-school music around the house as well. The love for Luis Miguel this trip is real. He says even Koko liked his music. ¡No puedo! 😂😭🤣🎶 • These are the moments I’ll always remember with my father. He’s always reminding me WHO I AM and from where my spirit and passion come. It’s easy to see, no? 😊 We are one in the same. • Gracias a Dios que me ha dado un padre que me ama tanto y me que ha enseñado todo. El alma de mi padre es mi medicina. 😘 No sabes papi cuánto te quiero. Este tiempo es precioso para mi. Te quiero! 😭♥️ • Wishing you all a blessed and peaceful weekend. 🙏🏽 Happy Father’s Day! ¡Feliz día del padre! 👫 #happyfathersday (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfAv5yzL2Pg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 40th wedding anniversary to my beautiful parents. Can you see me in them? 🌹 They’ve been an unforgettable pair for 46-years and now married for 40-years. My parents have shown me that love isn’t a fairytale that you see in movies, rather it’s waking up and choosing one another every single day. 🙏🏽 • When I was little, I used to squint my face when I saw them kiss. Now, as an adult…I’m inspired. I truly respect them for what it took for them to get to this point. 40+ years together is a blessing. 🙏🏽 • Even though there were ups and downs in our bicultural household (Lebanese & Ecuadorean), they were somehow always aligned in their decisions together. They always made sure me, my sister, and my brother came first. They always showed us what it looked like to communicate and to have resolve——no matter what form it came in 😂. • When I was little, there were so many things I didn’t understand about relationships or adulthood, but now I appreciate the journey they’ve had together more than you can possibly imagine. It is something to celebrate, and it’s something I can only aspire to share in my life as well. • Mom and dad, I truly honor your continuous commitment, care, and loyalty to one another. We are all are so grateful for your sacrifices and the example you set. Happy 40th Anniversary. May God grant you both many more! Love you. ♥️ • ~ La Pook, La Tiki, & El Pingo • #family #anniversary #love #parents https://www.instagram.com/p/CeSN5JBJNI7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Perhaps the journey of loss is learning how to come back to oneself. It’s the art of re-BECOMING. 🌸 Because loss, no matter in what form it comes, will make you see what is void or lacking in life. Never again will I give up pieces of myself or lose myself by trying to save others. For individuals who tend to be givers, the process of setting boundaries or even practicing self-care can often feel brutal or like a betrayal. Birdie’s words always resonate in my mind when I feel this come up for me, “I love you, and now I must love me more.” 👈🏽 • I’ve taken some time to sit and think with it, and I realized, that not everyone wants to see the darker side of themselves, and not everyone wants to grow. I am the type of person that loves to grow, and I’ve committed my life to bettering myself and to evolving. With this commitment comes a promise to always practice self-awareness and honesty, even on the darkest days when you really don’t want to look in the mirror. • Denial in any shape or form is extremely toxic, and it’s keeping our world from healing. There is no space for healing where blame is present. • I now choose to stand for accountability, self-awareness, and proper boundary setting. • May we all have the courage to pursue our hearts deepest desires to live with at most intention. • 📸 @_rachelpenny_ #fullyraw #vegan #healing #life #love #plantbased #pisces #ocean (at Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeIGLFCL_ou/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
