After almost a decade of unfucking and styling life together, Ashley and I dive into my transformative journey from Austin hustler to Taos artist. What started as a pandemic escape evolved into a complete life reinvention when I decided to sell my Austin home and make Taos my permanent residence.
We explore how stepping away from hustle culture allowed me to reconnect with my artistic passions and blend them with my styling expertise. I share how my annual trips to a nudist camp surprisingly transformed my relationship with body image (in the best way possible), and yes, we both confess our newfound obsession with protein intake because... midlife.
Curiously, we realized after recording that we didn't discuss relationships or men at all—which, as Ashley texted me immediately after, "says a lot" about where our priorities truly lie these days.
Other topics include the unexpected challenges of homeownership, the emotional psychology behind shopping habits, and why midlife might actually be your most iconic era yet.
Whether you're contemplating a major life change or simply curious about what happens when two friends chat candidly about reinvention, this episode offers honest insights into making peace with change and embracing who you really are.
