Because I’ve evolved since 5 minutes ago. Because I cannot be contained or tamed or boxed in!! Not even by my own VERY TRUE Human Design ;)
My name is Isabella Libertad Solanot. I’m a bad ass. Self proclaimed. I write, I read, I research, I understand wisdom, I enjoy nature, I use my voice and I love to dance. I have that thing where music comes on and it fuses with my physical form — me and the beat, we are homies.
My latest fascination is with Human Design. It’s been years in the making but recently I decided to make it official. Why? Because my gut said so. My gut said “you like this and it’s fun!” So I said “yes ma’am!”
And that’s a peek into how I be livin’ ma life! A #sendit type of mentality. I just turned 27 and I’m giving myself permission to continue persevering. I think my big a** dreams might take longer than expected… So I’ve decided that enjoying the process is a non-negotiable and that I should dream even bigger because hey, I got time.
One of this bigger dreams is to be a singer??? I don’t know. I keep getting these pings that I’m supposed to make music or something. Maybe I’m meant to formalize that be being DJ Solanaughty. Let me know your thoughts. Considering singing lessons to explore.
But the long term dream has always been to be a star. When I was 10 years old, my family was in New York and we stopped by one of those caricature painters. He drew a picture of me and my 3 siblings, each individually. Mine was a woman on the red carpet in a fancy dress!! I’m not sure if my parents fed this man information about our interests, but I always believed the man intuitively new what I was destined for. Will have to dig up that drawing for you all one day.
I’ve always been innately curious. A researcher. I started my spiritual journey through the lens of Zen and Eastern philosophy. It helped awaken the wise one in me and made up the majority of my talking points for a while. And although I share Zen teachings less explicitly, the irony is that my favorite Zen writer, Alan Watts, says that the whole point of awakening is to put the book down and go LIVE the teachings. That’s where I am. Trying to live the principles until I feel the need to go back to the text.
The through line among my various ventures in the past few years has been me smiling face at the center. Generator vibes. Follow your excitement type of deal. I studied film & business in college. Worked at a couple media companies before peacing out to do my own thing. I’m really starting to see that my dreams aren’t meant to be an overnight thing, but a slow steady accumulation of experiences that lead to MASTERY. Oof. The ego wants so bad to be a master already.
So back to present day. My name is BELLA! I currently have no idea what life will look like in 8 months other than some general constants I can count on. But even those… How should I know God Almighty’s plan?! What I do know is that I follow this thing called EXCITEMENT and it leads me to nurture the following:
A sick ass co-hosted podcast called Out Of Our Minds based on the idea that no idea is too crazy and we’re here to explore the unseen as much as the seen.
Human Design mentorship & readings for Souls ready to experience Alignment and to be their OWN authority figure. Be free, little birdies!
Writing musings from the soul. Here. I am doing that here (this word here).
Short form content and creativity on Instagram and TikTok tailored to make wisdom tangible for day to day use.
And that’s just today, January 10th 2024 — because we all know damn well that this year has surprised in store for us!!
So hello, dear soul. Cheers to the slow burn. Cheers to Years-to-Mastery. Cheers to being happy and fulfilled right now while desiring so much more.
Thanks for reading!! By the end of this piece I realize that the truth is, the best way to know anyone is to experience them. To hear them, see them, watch them. Not one of us can be contained or summarized into an About Me page.
So if you want to know me, experience me.
Xo,
