The Strategy of Style: Why We Hide or Choose to be Seen
I think that it’s time for women, in all walks of our lives, to bring who we really are and speak up together. This is how I’m doing it.
So, this week’s blog is about how clothing can hide us. Which can be a very good strategy. And I said hide—H-I-D-E—hide us so we become invisible, which can be a life-saving strategy. We can use clothing to call attention to ourselves; we can use clothing to be a project professionalism, and we can use clothing to attract or deflect from ourselves.
So the question this week is: when you look at your wardrobe, what is your construct? What is your projection? What is the model or idea that you want people to get from your wardrobe when they see you? And what would you like to change? Shapeshift?
Must Be the Season of the Witch Connecting with Loved Ones Across Time
Must Be the Season of the Witch | Connecting with the Dead
Many of you know me as the boho goddess garment gal...That’s still me. But I’m also an artist, Dream teacher and life coach since the 90's. I’ve started recording weekly YouTube vlogs where I talk about the deeper side of our lives — dreams, intuition, ancestors, creativity, and personal power as we get older.
This week’s episode is called “Must Be the Season of the Witch | Connecting with the Dead,” and it’s perfect for this time of year when the air shifts and the veil feels thin.
I’m sharing true stories (including a warning dream I had for a client), how to work with messages from loved ones who’ve crossed over, and how to build a simple healing ritual to release what you’re done carrying. If you’ve been feeling someone with you… if you’ve been dreaming more… if you’re ready to clear old energy and call your strength back — make a cup of tea, and watch. 🔮✨

Before I ever dreamed up Sunheart, I spent years studying how art, dreams, and spirit weave together. I completed a two-year Dream Studies program with the wonderful Fariba Bogzarin — artist, scientist, and co-founder of the Lucid Art Foundation — who trained with lucid-dreaming pioneer Stephen LaBerge at Stanford. During that time, we also worked with author and Buddhist teacher Alan Wallace (the Dalai Lama’s former interpreter), whose Shamatha Project helped spark the modern mindfulness movement — think Calm App and beyond.
Those years taught me that creativity and consciousness aren’t separate. They’re the same light, showing up in different ways — one through art, one through awareness.
That’s what I bring into my new YouTube series, where I share stories, teachings, and real-life experiences at the crossroads of dreaming, intuition, and sacred art.
