heydelfinaLife at 44, told like cinema

Fall in love
with life again.

I'm Delfina. 44, single by design, no kids, two decades of building businesses, and a life I don't need a vacation from. I make little films about it: the trips, the food, my parents (wait till you meet them), and the honest business of building all of this in the open. It's proof, not a pitch: the timeline they sold you was never the only one.

The premise80 summers

The problem is,
you think you have time.

On average we get 80 summers, if we're lucky. Don't put off the trip. The inner work is so you can live. This world is the living: the coastline drives between Northern and Southern California, the markets, the meals worth a detour, the places that rearrange you a little.

Everybody knows I'm posting to make money. Do you fault me for that? I build this openly, sponsors and all, because the philosophy has to work in daylight. Thriving on planet Earth looks like something, and this is what it looks like for me.
