who i am.
I’m inspired by good conversationalists, people who are young-at-heart, beautiful writing, fashion, wine, visiting museums, mouth-watering food, all things beauty (freezing my skin in time), and exploring the world.
I joke around that I'm an A/B personality…because two things can always be true! I'm an Aquarius and free-spirit but like making plans and know what I like and want. I like frequenting fancy hot-spots...and equally consider myself a major homebody. I'm spiritual and love mediation and yoga, but cannot wait to get dressed up on a Friday night and hit the latest spot in town with an espresso martini.
My Background
My life experience (and learnings from them) is my biggest superpower. Growing up in Seattle, I nearly married young and decided to move out of my hometown at 25 and see what the world had to offer.
I've been on 100+ dates. Traveled to 50+ countries. Have my Master’s in Public Policy but felt totally lost in my career until my mid-30’s. Had one night stands, mini romances (many of them), and a few true loves. I've moved to Europe when everyone told me it was impossible at 35, and created strong networks and life-long friends in Seattle, San Francisco, London and New York. I've worked for exciting startups in the fashion and restaurant tech space, a matchmaking company, and even a dating app before becoming a content creator full-time in 2022.
None of my successes have happened because they're easy. Often socially anxious, so much of what I've done was really hard at first, but I pushed myself to move forward. My goal in life is to never wonder "what-if" because I've tried almost everything.
In reality, I've experienced very real emotions that almost all 30-somethings have; regardless of where you live or what your lifestyle is. Human emotions are universal. I've been utterly heartbroken...a dozen times. I'm talking, listening to Florence and the Machine crying in my bed with the blinds down sad. Know what it's like to fall out of touch with best friends, and unable to get them back on track. To not have a bunch of savings because I’ve bought way too many clothes and plane tickets. Or lastly, to stay in an unhealthy relationship for way too long. And keep going back.
because we’re entering a new era
A 30-something single woman in 2023 doesn’t have a mold she’s supposed to fit into. No one has the answers or prescription to tell her how to be happy. There isn't a role-model or character that's chosen this new path, except for the fictional Carrie Bradshaw. While I have her beachy hair, curious personality, and ironically have loved a man named Aidan who was really my BIG, I promise to not throw in too many SATC references.
This blog is about being a woman in her 30’s that’s just extended this amount of time. Imagine, for the first time in history, women have an extra 10 years to entirely live for themselves.
why “thirty waves”?
I've always been a pretty epic storyteller and gathered epic stories, and Thirty Waves results from that. It's a brand about navigating your thirties and finding love in your own life.
Life experiences, love, thoughts, and emotions all come in waves. It’s our choice to ride them, fight them, or float along them. Hopefully Thirty Waves helps you do just that.
