“So in Spanish… there's no perfect translation for the word thrive. So I've actually tried to have this conversation with people on multiple occasions and like, how do I translate the word thrive? And people will give me all sorts of different answers. The closest that I've gotten in Spanish is a floresser, which means too flower or too bloom. And there's different levels that we can be living life, like there's survival mode. And then there's the next step up, which is like, I'm okay, everything's fine, I'm functional, and I think that's where a lot of us are just hanging out and like it's fine. And then there's thriving where it's like a Meadow of flowers. They're just all bursting into bloom, fragrant, full of butterflies. When you are living life, savoring every drop and your very presence is fragrant and magnetic like a blooming flower. Dripping nectar like that is thriving, and that is definitely the the place where I desire to be.”

“To be around and engage with people that are happy… and to be able to bring happiness to others.”

“I think about living when I'm rested and nourished, I can live from a place of thriving. When I am nourished in my body and my heart and my spirit and my soul and my community and my friends and my connection to the earth and in art and in play, I live thrivingly. I live in reciprocity.

I live in that state of, you know what I think we were really like. [Tantra] looks at it like life is not a punishment, it's a gift, like we didn't come here to wear our last time, we came here to be like, oh my gosh, isn’t that sunset so beautiful. Oh my gosh, doesn’t this taste amazing. Don't you see God and feel God in everything- or you know if you don't like that word say love or whatever it is what an incredible miracle that I’m here and so when I get to live thrivingly it's like every single moment I just get to see the beloved or the other in everything and there's a way where I kind of say it's kind of like I get to like flirt with the world. But again it really starts with me being nourished and whole, well really, embodied.”
