Throughout my life, I've struggled with self-image & understanding femininity. However, recently I've found comfort in connecting with divine feminine energy, like the Aztec goddess Xochiquétzal & Mayan goddess Ixchel. Working with them feels empowering & has reshaped my perception of femininity.

Since moving to Austin, I’ve been drawn to Nopales, a symbol of resilience and bittersweet transformation. Even in tough times, we’re allowed to dream. Don’t lose hope ❤️‍🩹

Once again, it is time to remind people who are using Duolingo to learn new languages to switch to alternatives that have qualified human teachers.
