But I had no idea I could use this to carve out a career path. I had been a performer for years doing Broadway shows and going on national tours, and in between performances, I did some fashion editorial work. But in 2018, a series of unfortunate events occurred, and I felt like I hit rock bottom. I was at a loss, not knowing what my purpose was. That year, in June, I was struck with this massive download — this impulse to lay out everything in a notebook, and I filled it with ideas, concepts, and all the “weird” things about me. I was able to connect the dots, and the result was the blueprint for Aura Wear, my business that I launched a month later, which blends aura reading with personal style.
