To explain Burning Man to someone who hasn’t been is like describing color to the blind.

This year I lost my best friend, Tommy Weisbecker. And I got to walk into the desert with my new best friend — his husband, Vibay. Two peas in a pod, bound by love for the same soul.

Tommy always preached that the desert strips you down — takes away everything you cling to until only spirit remains.

That’s what Burning Man is. Not a music festival. No concessions, no money, no headliners. Music: yes, but no one is paid. Just the journey to get in, the dust, the heat, the storms, the silence, the gift of music. He would have loved this version of the “desert”.

The Temple is a sacred place. Vibay and I went there and joined many other grieving souls, held together in a kind of collective consciousness.

Now, My heart is full…seeing so many friends, feeling so much love. My 5th Burning Man, and somehow it still feels like the first: raw, humbling, transformative.

The desert gave us that. #burningman #burningman2025

SXSW 2025 was one for the books. ✨

Nine days of presenting, exhibiting, and spending time with some of my favorite people—best friends, brilliant minds, and inspiring innovators—who all collided in the incredible orbit that is SXSW.

I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to showcase @geniusacademyeducation and the work we’re doing to shape the future of healthcare, mental health, and beyond. But more than that, I’m grateful for the memories, the connections, and the people who made it all possible.

Until next time, Austin! ❤️

Last week, we lost my dad. Yesterday would have been his 70th birthday.

I always hoped it would turn out differently….it almost broke me because I couldn’t help fix him…so I had to have faith that time would restore our kind hearted dad to honor the beautiful soul he was. Although that miracle never came while he was on this planet, it’s happened now. For those of you who have lost or witnessed a loved ones addiction - this may resonate.

As my dad took his last breath at the end, he was surrounded by those he loved. And he was finally at peace. But I am gutted beyond words. Despite his battle, he will always be remembered as the kind hearted man who took me in at 5 years old and adopted me as his own daughter, raised me, cultivated my love for rock and roll, surprises…so many things…

He sent me flowers on valentines Day and told me how proud he was to be my dad. Dad - I’m the proud one - thanks for shaping the soul I’ve become through this journey.

I’ve learned that at the end you won’t be remembered for the amount of social media posts you liked, or the amount of money you made, OR even the struggles you had inside you - butyou will be remembered for the love you selflessly brought into the world and the little things that had big impact on the people closest to you.

I love you dad. Happy birthday, and happy soul transcendence day. Until we meet again. #dad #love #gratitude #loss #grief #griefjourney #lossofaparent #lossofafather

Last week, we lost my dad. Yesterday would have been his 70th birthday.

I always hoped it would turn out differently….it almost broke me because I couldn’t help fix him…so I had to have faith that time would restore our kind hearted dad to honor the beautiful soul he was.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
