There are moments in life when you finally stop waiting for "someday."

Saint + Smoke has been quietly growing behind the scenes, and today I'm inviting 25 people to become part of its beginning.

The Smoke Circle isn't just a candle subscription.

It's a community centered around rest, ritual, and intentional living.

Every candle purchased helps fuel something even bigger because 50% of Saint + Smoke's profits support Empowered HS Goddess and the HS community.

Applications are now open for just 25 Founding Members.

I'd love to have you apply.

HS Affects More Than Skin

HS is often described as a skin condition.

But anyone living with HS knows it reaches much deeper.

It affects confidence.
It affects intimacy.
It affects mental health.
It affects how we move through the world.

Many people living with HS carry invisible wounds alongside visible ones.

The grief of missed opportunities.
The anxiety of the next flare.
The exhaustion of explaining the disease over and over again.

Today, we honor the emotional realities of HS.

Your scars tell a story of survival.
Your body deserves kindness.
Your healing matters.

Twenty-nine years ago, I developed my first HS lesion.

For 17 of those years, I lived without treatment. Not because I chose to. Because I was overlooked, dismissed, and left searching for answers.

I know what it feels like to sit in doctor’s offices and leave with more questions than solutions. I know the physical pain of HS. I know the emotional weight of carrying a disease that so many people have never heard of.

But I also know this.

I am still here.

Today, I am living proof that an HS diagnosis is not the end of your story. Through surgery, biologic treatment, advocacy, yoga, community, and a whole lot of faith, I found my way back to myself.

This HS Awareness Week, I am standing in my truth and sharing my story because someone else needs to know they are not alone.

HS is not rare. It is rarely discussed.

For every person still waiting for answers, every person hiding scars, every person who has ever felt unseen because of this disease, I see you.

And I will keep advocating until every HS warrior is seen, heard, and helped. 💜

💜 HS Awareness Week Begins Today 💜

Hidradenitis Suppurativa affects millions of people worldwide, yet many spend years searching for answers before receiving a diagnosis.

HS is not caused by poor hygiene.
HS is not contagious.
HS is not your fault.

It is a chronic inflammatory disease that can impact every part of a person’s life, including physical health, mental health, relationships, employment, and self-esteem.

This week, we are raising our voices for every person who has ever felt unseen, dismissed, or misunderstood because of HS.

You deserve compassionate care.
You deserve support.
You deserve to be believed.

Because HS is not rare. It is simply rarely discussed.
