For me, pride month has a really special meaning. Not only do I feel like everyone should love who they love and be who they should be without holding back, but it’s about living your truth. And as a witch, occultist and mom, there isn’t a bigger message that I would like to spread than being who you are. If you aren’t living your truth, then you can’t reach your highest potential as a person. So if you are struggling with yourself, know that you are loved, you are valued and that most of all YOU MATTER.
