Devon Herrera here, greeting you in 2025 from my newly established sanctuary (home) in Pasadena, CA. Truthfully, I’ve been putting this off. This being writing the ‘about’ section – making it concise – oof! Alright, here goes… In 2019, my curiosity felt uplifting and often playful – I engaged with friends on social media and felt generally satisfied sharing life’s joys and grievances that way. Though I maintained a foundation of curiosity, the connection quickly deepened into long-form interview style sessions which allowed me to share profoundly impactful personal stories. The intimacy and clear truth of those exchanges were the catalyst for me to write more freely about the shadows I’d not allowed myself to explore. By 2020, that expression evolved to include acting, and by early 2021, a podcast. 2021 was monumental for my confidence – purchasing a home, establishing a business, and moving to Los Angeles. My Saturn return, perhaps? (I still have ‘birth chart reading’ on my future desires list) Either way, this is when life felt most exciting, energizing, creative, collaborative, bold, dreamy, and so full of love. Notice I didn’t include ‘peace’ in that list… Reflecting now, I see the lack of peace and foundational stability combined with the energetic pace I “maintained” set me on a trajectory that, by 2024, had me sobbing so frequently I no longer trusted myself.
