FULL BIO

Appreciating a moment of peace, warmth and a few seconds of mental refrain from #PalisadesFire logistics.

Home-less, but drawing inspo from my rescue dog squad ➡️ these pups know a thing or two about finding one’s way home 🫶🏽🐾

One month after my home of 7yrs burned to the ground in the Palisades fire, destroying everything I’ve ever owned and obliterating my community, this is where I’m at…

Deepest thank you to everyone who has and continues to reach out 🙏🏽💗

No pants Cali girl Christmas… cuz it’s 65° 🌴🎁🎅🏼 Happy, healthy holiday wishes to you all.

Poker girl problems ‼️ When you wake up early and do full hair & makeup to resume a tourney with HALF a big blind (meaning so few chips you’ll likely play ONE HAND before elimination) 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m not a superstitious person. I believe in talent, skill and hard work outweigh luck…

BUT, if I wanted to conjure up some run good this morning in Aruba before playing Day 2 Moneymaker Caribbean Main (ITM with 33 left), what would y’all suggest?

@caribbeanpokerseries
@moneymakertour @poker_org_

Aruba photo dump 🏝️📸 Sunsets, poker, gelato, boat, beach, crab, snorkel, pizza… guess which of these words gets me most excited.

(The @caribbeanpokerseries does not suck! 🫶🏽 Thank you @poker_org_, @moneymakertour and Casino Aruba for making this trip happen)

Quick trip to Washington D.C. to speak at a summit for an aerospace defense company 🤓 and challenged myself to step out of my comfort zone - in a unique way:

After an intense week of speaker prep, little sleep and cross country travel, the morning after my keynote (day of my return flight) I was depleted. What I WANTED to do was sleep-in, go to airport, get home… minimal exertion.

But, the only time I had been to D.C. was around 14yrs old, with family, on one of those… ya know, LET’S SEE ALLLLL the educational sights, statutes, museums, historic sh**, and walk 50,000 bajillion miles around the city until the blisters render you paralyzed (not every teenage girl’s dream trip).

With exactly a 3hr window before needing to be at the airport, I sat on my hotel bed, humming and hawing over the effort it would take to Uber into the city and then drag my luggage around (in 85°/29° weather), in order to see a some historic monuments.

I didn’t know how close an Uber could drop me off to the sites I wanted to see. Didn’t pack appropriate walking shoes. Didn’t know if there’d be a lot of stairs with luggage in-tow. And honestly, my ego didn’t want people looking at the weird girl who brought her suitcase and two large bags to go sightseeing. What would they think? I was lost? Homeless? Dumb?

Fear of the uncertain held me back. How often do “what-ifs” inform YOUR own decision-making?

I WANTED to be lazy, but I CHALLENGED myself to value the opportunity I was given and embrace the present. “Who knows if I’ll ever be back here again. Do not take this moment for granted. So what if it takes some extra effort and is inconvenient?”

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable… and uncertain.

I made a conscious choice to step out of my comfy zone and CARPE DIEM D.C. - baggage, ballet flats, BO and all!

I did not expect this 🙄 when walking through the Korean War Veteran Memorial in Washington DC.

Who is someone that changed the trajectory of your life?

Tanning up for the Caribbean Poker Series / Moneymaker Main 🏝️T-minus 72hrs until poker, pool parties, piña colada’s… this is shaping up to be my fav tourney series of the year 😎

Look back at it 👀♠️🏜️ Here’s what I got up to in Scottsdale this week, at the Arizona State Poker Champs.

Shoutout to the local players (and staff) who create a delightful gaming environment and welcome me into their poker community. @talkingstickresort is quickly becoming a home away from home 💞

UH OH! Got moved to the back-to-back reigning champ’s table in the $1100 Arizona State Poker Championship… what could go wrong?!?

No seriously, guess exactly how many minutes it took for him to crack my aces with 97… just guess.

Did I punt this STONE COLD (bag) BUBBLE? 🙄

Hand-for-hand at end of 12hr tournament day. Unenthused about bagging Day 2 short stack when I can fire one more flight (bag isn’t ITM).

I min-raise MP A♥️7♥️
BB fish flats

He checks > I ship.
BB wakes up with nines 😒

Would you have tried to double / gambled last hand(s) or resigned to 15bb Day 2 bag?

Who doesn’t love the ALL-IN BLIND game?!! 🙈♠️🫣 When you’re short stacked and @kierolovesyou says he’ll call if you blind shove the next hand (meaning you don’t look at your cards before going all-in 😳).

I give, because she gave.

I am confident, because she fueled me with her every word.

I thrive, because she sacrificed.

I am whole, because she was mindful to never break me.

I am at peace, because she is at peace.

I am steadfast, because she built me a safe and solid foundation.

I am a reflection of her - the most PRICELESS gift a mother could ever bestow upon her daughter 🙏🏽

When in Rome 🤷🏻‍♀️ Will this cowboy hat bring me luck in the @wsop Cherokee Main Event?

After 10hrs of play, made the final table of the World Series of Poker Circuit $250 Ladies tournament ♠️ finishing 5th of 155 players.

Went into the FT with 25 big blinds, chipped up to 36bb, then went card dead 😒

Mulling over a couple significant hands from the FT and feeling like I need to do some more studying on short handed final table play:

AT from UTG vs chip leader JJ on AJQ➡️3➡️T, took about half stack with 6 or 7 left.

And then, 13bb button shove with KJ suited at 5handed.

🤔

More to come on these hand convos 👆🏽 for now… $250 ⤴️ $1786… yay? 🤷🏻‍♀️🎉
