Come as you are

I love what Mariah is creating; she shares her own honest reflections while also creating a space for supporting other artists and creatives. -

Welcome. I am so glad you are here. Heartbeats is a community for artists, caregivers, and messy humans. It’s hard being human and we need each other.

Together, we’re creating a tapestry of connection and a safety net of love through the power of storytelling and collaboration.

I hope this love letter will bring you comfort, joy, make you laugh sometimes, and inspire you to become the whole person you already are.

This letter is for you

Artists (and those afraid to call themselves artists)
Burned-out creatives/caregivers
Mothers
Community builders
Entrepreneurs
Weavers of connection
Storytellers
Magic makers + those curious about astrology, tarot, or working with intuition

Come (just) as you are. Bring your whole self to the table and take what you need. There is plenty for all.

Less noise, more harmony.

Every Sunday you’ll receive a short newsletter from me to end or begin your week. Think of it like a warm, buttery scone on a cold winter day. The hug you need when you’re on your third meltdown of the hour. A weighted blanket to help calm your anxiety.

What you can expect

• Honest, self-reflections on topics like grief, creativity, motherhood, grace, anxiety, and a whole lot of love. I will bring all of me to the table.

• Gentle prompts for contemplation and creative inspiration.

• Music, poetry, videos, recipes, photographs, and a mix-mash of what inspires me in a variety of mediums.

• Interviews with pathfinders— ordinary folks living extraordinary lives

• Community threads and chats to help foster authentic connection + collaboration

• A lot of experimentation, flexibility, and fun!

Synchronize your heart

Something magical happens when we share and listen to each other’s stories. Our hearts begin to synchronize. The erratic pace of our lives can slow, returning to an inner calm.

This is not a monologue.

Heartbeats is a reciprocal connection, a community where we get to show up as our full, messy selves, together.

My ask, dear reader is that you participate. Engage. Show up for yourself and others.

Risk vulnerability and connection.

This is your open invitation to add your voice, your he(art), and your energy to the table.

Let’s create, rest, and thrive together.

Who the heck writes this thing?

It’s me, hi.

I’m Mariah, a poet, new mama and grieving daughter. At least, that’s how I’m orienting myself on the map of life today.

I’m also a nurse, community organizer, big sister, traveler, tarot reader, and lover. I thrive in creating environments of care where authentic connections happen with ease; I believe we belong to each other.

My intention is to widen the safety net of love by creating a compassionate space for us to remember and return to our wholeness.

Maybe you don’t think you’re an artist (I’ve been there). Maybe you think it’s up to you to always be the strong one (me too).

I am still learning how to ask for help and gaining the confidence to claim my birthright as a creator.

I am chest-deep in grief while learning how to open my heart to more joy than I’ve ever experienced. Both/and. A common thread you’ll see here.

I am in the trenches, learning how to use my wings.

Maybe you are also navigating a both/and experience or way of being?

You’re not alone.

I truly believe “we’re all just walking each other home.”

Thank you for your presence here.

If there is a way I can support your becoming, please reach out! I’m currently available for one-on-one tarot readings, community engagement, public speaking, mentorship opportunities, and collaborations with heart.
