It's a really brave thing to let our true selves be seen. I wanted to have a physical token of this reminder, so I created this ring. It's inspired by the warmth and radiance of the sun. It reminds me to be compassionate to myself and to celebrate who I am right now, unconditionally. I hope it speaks to you too.

It felt disorienting, scary and even embarrassing at first, especially during the hard days of getting a business off the ground. I felt like I was turning my back on what was "good and perfect" and making a mess of myself.
