Why I “We Care”:
In 2011 my father died suddenly of a heart attack on Valentine’s Day in Malibu CA after a surf at his favorite spot: County Line. Some people know this story, some don’t, about how this one moment, this one instant changed the course of my life. I also entered into a very painful & ongoing divorce & custody journey with my then 2 year old son’s father. But what I could never have predicted was the physical health journey I would go on after these two life shattering events. The grief was trapped in my body & I started having bouts of bronchitis & chronic ENT issues.
Simultaneously my work life increased and I had the joy of having several opportunities to help create some of the characters in movies & tv shows you may or may not have seen. Contraction/Expansion.
By 2015 – 2019 I was keeping long hours, sometimes 16 – 21 hour days. Traveling on weekends to be with my son. I love to create & I had caught a wave when Mad Men came into my life & I decided to surf it.
The toll… most people don’t know that I was on 3 – 4 rounds of antibiotics a year to keep working & living. I had a doctor visit me one weekend when my body gave out on set & reported that my adrenals were so low that he didn’t know how I was walking, talking or functioning. Friends were reaching out planning a potential intervention because they were so worried about me. I had to change course. I had to find more support.
I had become so used to being a sick, high functioning person that I couldn’t recall what it was like to be well. My insides were falling apart. I developed chronic cystic acne. The stress was unbearable. But on the outside: no one could tell.

A taste of The “New” Ibiza.
I went to #Ibiza last summer for the first time for a quick 3 day🌪️. I felt like the lead of my own chaotic Survivor/RomCom. On the other side of that trip I left thinking “I’m good on Ibiza! Never need to do that again!” It’s an island with a very particular & polarizing energy. It pulls you into it’s volcanic vortex of disruption to seemingly test you with two options; move there forever or leave immediately to avoid certain, over-absorption. Time is a construct, plans are a suggestion, art is imminent and magical meetings a moment. It has a heal or steal type of velocity to it’s sorceric, Spanish history. And I felt like I had learned all my lessons from Lady Ibitha last year.
Little did I know but 8 months later I’d be back on the wagon for a wind whipped, locals only, off season tour, re-discovering & adventuring the with fresh eyes, my ❤️@vallsoscar & a little help from the wonderful @mambobrothers
I have to say: it was an incredible trip. Some of the best meals of my life with the most glorious sunsets & generous companions to boot. Three non-negociables are Sa’capella, Juntos & Gracioneta with each environment being truly unique. A 30 minute plane ride from Barcelona I see why it’s the “Mexico” of Europe & what Cabo is to us Angelenos. I can’t wait to explore all the Balearic Islands this summer. 🇪🇸.
Here’s a quick peek & suggestion box for next time:
