I have never subjected myself to this much TCGLive in my life. My brain is melting

No one gives me harsher feedback than my British fiance who's been doing this for 10 years.
Worlds prep 2 hours of TCGLive a day 1 hour of my own commentary review 2 hours of tabletop a day Been almost a month of doing this. I just want to be the best I can be 😅
It's been finally announced that I will be casting the World Championship for Pokemon this year. I look back on the many years of doing this when I got nothing from it, other than an escape from being in a crowd. I'm still refining my skills, but I am grateful to be the storyteller I am today.
Oh don’t mind me I’m just waiting for the biggest announcement of my career
Had a small talk with a friend who asked how my fiancé and I knew, the answer was, we just did. It’s so corny to say you’ll know, but you will. It’ll be different, and you won’t have to convince yourself that it’s different, you will just know. And it’s the best feeling in the world.
Life taught me that dreams are needed so you can keep yourself motivated. All the time I've spent in commentary trying to work hard on my craft and myself has given me the inspiration I've always needed to carry on and push toward tomorrow.
Picked up my wedding dress yesterday because it came in 4 months early!! Maybe it's my crippling self esteem but I am just so excited to get married to someone who I laugh with every day and someone I don't feel like I have to give up my dreams to make happy :)
Hi everyone, I'm bad at updating this site as usual. Thank you for all of the support during NAIC. I felt really confident coming out of the event based off of the feedback I got and I've been on bed rest since because my back has been acting up unfortunately. Finally on the mend though!
Taking on quite possibly the craziest 2 weeks of travel and I'm ready for but simultaneously scared of my mind for 2 long haul trips
Leaving for Prague tomorrrow! Honestly in this one season of Pokemon I've been half NA half EU for, I've experienced so much different culture that I think it's changed me for the better.
Really glad Houston went well. It was probably the most fluid broadcast I've been apart of so far, but also the matches were clean until the DPCs the end. Proud of how I'm finally getting sleep before casting weekends instead of being worried all the time......
I haven’t even walked down the aisle yet and I already have people talking to me about getting pregnant. It’s really annoying as someone who’s only hitting her career highs now…
Packing up some decks today to bring to America for the week! Haven’t seen my mom in 3 months and I actually terribly miss her so I think this time away from the UK is going to be really good before I’m going back and forth for tournaments and wedding planning🥹
What long distance teaches you is that a place is not necessarily your home, a person is. Of course I said yes. Mrs. Bernard coming 2027🥰
Pokemon Day presents did not disappoint at all. Wish we got a little more info on PokemonXP but I'm excited to go no matter what
Telling Bluesky first but I have some mega news to announce next week if everything goes according to plan
London was great but I think I may have to do the thing I don't want to do soon which is talking about how people are starting to be too parasocial and I'm having stalker issues. I never in my life want to believe that people want to harm me, but certain things are just getting too uncomfortable.
Tonight Joe and I are going to Sky Garden in London to celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm thankful I have a partner who also loves a good once in a while fine dining experience because it's EXPENSIVE!!!!!!
Leaving for EUIC tomorrow! I remember this time last year being so nervous because it was basically a solo trip and I then made so many friends here. Even though my life is 50/50 between the US and the UK, I'm so glad I have friends now from all over the world
I don't wish the amount of anxiety I have on anyone. Truly is a nightmare sometimes. :(
Had someone ask me today why I don't act more girly and I was genuinely floored. Just because I'm not "yaaas queen ily" all the time doesn't mean I'm not girly??? I'm so confused!!
I am finally up to date with all English full art supporters and you'll see the start of the Tag Team AllStars GX on the final page. I had to start a whole second binder too. XY through Scarlet/Violet is in this first binder, Mega Evolution era and beyond in the second. We're done (for now) 🥹
I appreciate the good times I had in Birmingham. I'm still trying to make closer friends but it was good times nevertheless. Did horrific in swiss but that's okay.
The hardest part about being in a whole different continent is that I don’t have my own friend group and while I am very outgoing, my autism makes it insanely hard for me to get to know people personally enough to open up enough. Anyway Raging Bolt yay!
Leaving for Birmingham tonight, I don’t think I’ll do as well as I did last weekend but it would be great if I did! I’m really lost right now in this format 😂
I placed 127th out of 2,200+ players at Toronto Regionals with Raging Bolt, Solrock, and Lunatone last weekend! The run felt unreal and what was crazier was winning a whole booster box! I was (technically) the 2nd best Raging Bolt player in the room!
Happy that I’m well enough to go to Toronto this weekend, walking around with a bit of a limp but I’m trying my best. Throwing this weekend with Raging Bolt but it’s okay. Happy to be up and walking
