“I don’t fit into any stereotypes. And I like myself that way.”

Welcome to the Tribe of Badasses
This blog is for those who live unapologetically, who step boldly into their authentic selves, no matter what anyone else thinks. If you're the kind of person who doesn’t just exist, but lives with purpose and passion, this is your space. Here, we celebrate those who choose to be real, to be themselves and kick down doors along the way.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world—over and over—and along the way, I’ve had the privilege of hearing stories from incredible, bodacious individuals who are out there doing life their way. These are the people living with joy, breaking barriers, and showing up for others in ways that inspire.
The Joy Seekers
These are the folks who radiate positivity, who have found a way to be happy without succumbing to the weight of judgment.
They move through life with a lightness and an ease that’s contagious. They remind us that joy isn’t something you have to earn or chase down—sometimes it’s about simply being, exactly as you are.
The Rule Breakers
These are the risk-takers, the ones who refuse to settle for the status quo.
They stir things up, questioning systems, shaking up traditions, and making space for new ideas. They’re the ones who are willing to challenge the way things have always been done because they know progress doesn’t happen without a little discomfort.
The True Caregivers
Then we have the compassionate souls—the ones who show up for others even when it’s not convenient, even when it’s hard.
These are the people who give freely, without expectation, who make the world better by simply caring. They make love tangible through action, and they make us believe in the goodness of humanity.
The Leaders
Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about courage.
True leaders aren’t leaders because they have followers—they’re leaders because they’re willing to stand on the outside, be the outcasts, and blaze a trail where others haven’t dared to go. Leadership is about vision and the ability to inspire others to rise to the challenge of creating something better, even if it means standing alone for a while.
​
If you’re one of these people—if you’re living unapologetically, if you’re pushing boundaries, if you’re walking the path less traveled—welcome to this space. This is where we celebrate stories of those who went for it, who tackled their fears and obstacles, and did it anyway.
Now is the time to make room for new adventures, for discovering grace in the margins of life, and for embracing the power of stories. Stories that shape us. Stories that challenge us. Stories that inspire us to keep going, no matter how tough the journey gets.
Stories Have Power
Stories shape cultures. They paint the picture of an era, capturing the spirit of the times in ways facts and figures can’t. They offer courage when we need it most, helping us face down fears and move toward the unknown. Stories preserve history and make it relevant for today. They prepare us for what’s ahead, teaching us lessons we didn’t even know we needed to learn.

This blog is dedicated to *your* story, to the stories of those who are living bravely, authentically and unapologetically. It’s for the changemakers, the innovators, the dreamers and the doers who are out there, rewriting the rules and making their mark. If that sounds like you, keep reading, because we have a lot to share.
Let’s make some noise. Let’s share these stories. Let’s inspire each other to keep going—and keep doing it with grace, even on the margins. Fun people are breaking the barriers while stirring the status quo pot. Truly compassionate people care for others even when it isn’t convenient.
