It seems that every time I create an update post saying I’ll be better about writing to all y’all (foreshadowing btdubs), life throws another wrench in my plans. This time, it’s a big honking monkey wrench…but a good one (I’m writing this very early in the morning, so bad jokes and analogies inbound).

Let me backtrack. This year, I’ve felt quite antsy. I’ve wanted something new out of 2019 but didn’t know where to put that energy. I embarked on some journeys by partnering and consulting with different companies, but I knew that it wasn’t the full picture. There was something else. And halfway into this year, I realized that something else was moving to a new location.

So, without further ado, I’m so excited to announce that at the beginning of October, I’ll be relocating to Austin, Texas!

This move means a few things:

  1. I’m going to be behind on getting back to all of your messages. For the next month, massive change and logistics are happening. So I’ll be doing my best, but if you don’t receive a response right away, it’s not because I’m ignoring you 🙂
  2. So much cool stuff is going to come out of this! I’ve got this rad apartment where I’ll be able to film, write, and edit without distractions or time constraints. I also can’t wait to find awesome people in Austin to interview and share their stories as well.
  3. I have a three-part video series coming up that will mark the new stage of U Can’t B Erased and the amazing community that you have kept energized and growing.

And just so you know, I’m terrified. I’ve lived in San Diego (and surrounding cities) my entire life. And while I’ve traveled all over the country for speaking, I can’t remember the last place I spent more than two days in. Also, I’ve never been to Texas before :/ But the reason I’m fighting through this fear and the stress of trying to move everything physical, digital, and legal over to a different state is because I realized I need this. Not want…need. And since this is something I need to happen in my life, to experience something new and move beyond my childhood into adulthood (yuck, right?), I’m willing to be in pain to make it happen.

That’s a good sign, and it is going to happen.

So starting in early October, change is happening. I’m still not quite sure what those changes are, but they are going to happen. Thank you for coming along the ride with me.
