Choosing Joy: A Hope Core Vlog

This weekend felt lighter than last week — and I wanted to document it.
A soft weekend in an unsoft world: breakfast tacos, desert hikes, day drinking at the zoo, comfort food, and letting myself have a good day.

In this vlog, I’m sharing a slower, more hopeful weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico after a really rough week. We talk about burnout, work picking back up, acting auditions, indie film hope, caring for your mental health, and finding joy in small moments — even when the world still feels heavy.

From cozy mornings and comfort food to desert sunshine, pup cups, and animals at the zoo, this video is about movement, presence, and choosing softness anyway.
