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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
