From “Best-ish” to Unbound: The Evolution of My Untaming
When I first started My Best-ish Life, it wasn’t meant to be a movement. It was a quiet space, a reflection of where I was—trying to figure out how to live a life that felt good enough in a world that constantly demands more. It was about rejecting perfection, about making peace with the messiness of self-growth, about finding joy in the almost.
My Untaming Year: How a Personal Rebrand Became Something More
I started this as a 30-day personal rebrand experiment—a quiet, private check-in with myself. No big declarations. No public updates. Just a way to recalibrate as I stepped into a season of massive life changes.
Already Becoming Her
I used to think stepping into my rebrand would be some big, dramatic shift—some obvious transformation where one day, everything clicked. But the truth is, it’s already happening. It’s happening in the way I move, the way I think, the way I show up for myself in ways both quiet and undeniable.
The Untaming Checklist: Becoming the Woman I Am Meant to Be
This isn’t just a rebrand—it’s a reclamation. A return to the woman I was always meant to be. And becoming her isn’t about waiting. It’s about choosing—every day, in big ways and small, to live unbound.
Reclaiming 2025: A Life Unbound
At the start of this year, I set out to build a life that feels like mine—one that is steady, fulfilling, and aligned with who I truly am. A life where I don’t just exist, but thrive. Where joy isn’t something I chase, but something I live.
Becoming the Future Me, Today
If I could see my future self right now, the woman who has fully stepped into her power, her autonomy, her untamed life—she wouldn’t be waiting. She wouldn’t be holding back, questioning every step, wondering if she’s ready.
Living the Untamed Life, One Small Act at a Time
Stepping into my rebrand isn’t about waiting for some grand transformation. It’s about the daily rebellions—the small, intentional acts that remind me, every single day, that I am living life on my own terms.
I am Unbound
There was a time when I thought freedom meant learning to live inside the life I was given—adapting, making the best of things, shrinking myself to fit. I softened my edges, quieted my voice, made myself small so I wouldn’t take up too much space.
Becoming the Woman I Am Meant to Be
A personal rebrand isn’t just about changing how the world sees me—it’s about changing how I see myself. It’s about stepping into the identity I’ve been circling for years, the one I’ve always known was mine but was too hesitant, too exhausted, or too conditioned to claim fully.
Rewriting the Narrative: A Life Unbound
For too long, I carried the weight of labels that were never mine to begin with.
Unbound, Unshaken, Unapologetic
I want to show up in the world as a woman who is rooted—in herself, in her power, in the life she is building. A woman who walks into a room and doesn’t shrink, doesn’t soften herself to make others comfortable, doesn’t hesitate to take up the space that is already hers.
Self-Expression Beyond Style
Self-expression isn’t just about what I wear—it’s about how I show up in the world. I want my words, actions, and creative outlets to reflect who I am and what I value.
Values Check-In
My core values have remained steady, but as I reimagine my future, some have deepened in importance. Authenticity, creativity, balance, community, inner harmony, and adventure still define who I am, but the way I embody them is evolving.
Curating My Space
I want my home to feel like a sanctuary—a space that reflects my personal rebrand with warmth, depth, and intention. It should feel moody yet cozy, layered but uncluttered, creative but calming.
Signature Pieces
My ideal wardrobe is built around effortless, layered pieces that feel lived-in, expressive, and uniquely mine. Instead of a cluttered closet, I want a curated collection of staples that make me feel put-together without overthinking.
Wardrobe Alignment
Right now, my wardrobe is halfway there. I’ve done a great job curating a collection of linen pants that feel effortless and aligned with my style, but I haven’t quite figured out tops yet. I want pieces that feel intentional but easy—structured yet comfortable—without feeling too plain or unfinished.
Style Evolution
I’ve never had a defined style—my wardrobe was more about convenience than self-expression. But now, I’m intentionally crafting a look that feels authentic, effortless, and distinctly mine.
What No Longer Fits?
I am letting go of the parts of me that no longer align with who I’m becoming—the overextension, the self-doubt, the habit of making myself small to accommodate others. I’m releasing the mindset that I have to prove my worth through exhaustion, that productivity equals value, or that I have to earn rest and joy.
Who Am I Becoming?
I am becoming a woman who is rooted in self-trust, ease, and quiet confidence—someone who moves through life with intention, without constantly questioning her own path. She knows what she wants, she values her own voice, and she no longer shrinks herself to fit into spaces that don’t feel right.
What I’m Welcoming In & Letting Go of in 2025
This year, I’m choosing a life that feels good. Not just in fleeting moments, but in the quiet, everyday ways that build a foundation of peace. That’s why two of my favorite “Ins” for 2025 are slow, cozy living and romanticizing my normal life—because if this is the life I’m building, I want to love living in it.
