It’s not exactly a “happy” update, but it’s ultimately a positive one. This personal experiment & practice of writing, reading, sharing the inner workings of my mind is a vulnerable one. It’s funny, because as i fall further down the rabbit hole of awakening - it becomes more and more clear just how the practices & the lifestyle I’m trying to grow into is completely opposite from how our society,...

Did you know that if you bottle up your emotions for decades, it eventually catches up to you? Ask me how I know..... The last time we “talked,” I was fresh off the heels of a life changing experience. Huzzah! You may have thought - she is cured of her mid life crisis and childhood trauma. All is well at last on earth. Unfortunately my angels, this is simply not the case! Far far from it in fact....

For those familiar with my story , you might surmise a little bit of the baggage I’ve been carrying with me my whole life. I’ll be sparing you the details lest I burden you with the emotional weight, and focusing on my experience + what led me there. Just prior to leaving for Arizona, where this healing retreat was held, I felt like I had a metaphorical ticking time bomb inside me, just waiting to...

Hello, reader. It’s time for me to explain what this project is so you can see if it resonates with you ✨ and in hopes that if you’d like to add any of these apparel pieces to you (or your dog’s) collection, you can appreciate the love & meaning they were born from. My name is Elisa Marie, and I’ve worn many hats until now - but I started & am ending with the title of Artist . As a lifelong & for...

For someone who’s never wanted children, I sure do think about my legacy a lot. I think it started when I reached the peak of small business ownership burnout in 2025, because a lot of small business owners will endure indescribable sacrifice in hopes of their children inheriting a successful business that will support them in the future. But as ( it feels like ) the rest of ( white ) American soc...

As I’ve grown more confident in my understanding of the world & of the way every single thing is connected - when I came across the term “artist of consciousness” (I’ll admit, I don’t recall where I came across this term, but it clearly resonated with me) It felt like the appropriate title for myself, and to encompass my work & vision. Let’s set the scene. Erase everything you thought you knew abo...

I’ve always been PETRIFIED of being the center of attention. I think we’ve all been there. Knowing the answer to the teacher’s question in class, but being afraid to raise our hand - because what if we’re wrong? What worse scenario could there be???? The other peers would undoubtedly stand, point, and jeer at you, throwing tomatoes at you and pushing you out of the classroom into the hallway, neve...

For those familiar with my work, you know that I’ve been developing a clothing line for the last couple of years. As I reach the end of the preparation for beginning this new venture - I’m beginning to feel pinches of doubt creep into the edges of my mind. No matter how much self reflection I do, how enlightened I aim to become, how much I speak out on how I release the shackles of expectation - I...

Something that has recently dawned on me as I’ve been stepping into a new season (or a new timeline, if you’re savvy) is just how intentional it requires me to be when imagining the new life I will be living. As I’ve been exploring further into the synergies of spirituality & quantum physics, it genuinely TICKLES MEE when I’ve connected the dots on how to intertwine mental & physical practices to...
