ABOUT ME

hey there! my name is sage, and i am a 25-year-old who grew up on the beautiful islands of hawai’i. nurturedbysage as an online space emerged originally out of my passion for writing and taking care of my well-being. 

however, i wasn’t always this passionate and proactive person. in fact, there was a time, a very long time even, that i was the total and complete opposite of that – drinking, partying, with no real sense of life direction…. which is what led me to where i am today

you often hear stories about people just waking up one day and wanting MORE. that didn’t happen for me. i underwent many long days, weeks, months, maybe even years, of wanting more for myself. but it took me SO LONG to get started with the process of enacting those small life changes to spark the chain reaction that would lead to monumental shifts in my life. 

while i’m grateful for the ways that my life has unfolded because it has led me up to this moment, i don’t want that for you. i don’t want years to have to go by for you to experience a more fulfilling life. i went through those experiences, and want to share with you, as a person seeking out betterment, how you can have change your ways and therefore change your life in the process. 

and to be clear, that’s not because we want to rush into anything out of the fear of missing it. your dream life will always be there waiting for you, anything being rushed into, isn’t worth having. rather, we want to skip all the unnecessary learning lessons (that i had to undergo) and stay on a productive path. 

i’m ecstatic that you’re here, and i’m so proud of you for taking an interest in improving yourself. know that you’re capable AND worthy! let’s do this!

GET TO KNOW ME

FAVE BOOK:

anything by B.A. paris (i have a strange fascination for the way british authors write), lisa jewell (ahem), or freida mcfadden. love me some thrillers! i’ll reach for pretty much anything that borders around a good romance as well, i’m pretty easy to please. this is also me copping out and not choosing a single favorite because i just can’t, it’s like asking to name a favorite kid!

FAVE SHOW:

i love watching tv so much, it’s hard to choose. feels like the 2010s was such a good time for tv, you just had to be there – gossip girl, 90210, vampire diaries, how to get away with murder, the OC, hart of dixie. honorable mentions include friends and gilmore girls! all the classics, really. they are on a steady seasonal re-watch in this household.

FAVE DRINK:

chai tea latte with strawberry cold foam, YUM! but once i figure out how to make a matcha latte from home… it’s over.

FAVE SEASON:

i’ve only lived places where there aren’t real seasons and it’s pretty much warm year-round… i had to really think about it, but i think spring is the winner. the flowers, colors, and decorations are so cute and lovely!

FAVE THING:

i’m an ipad kid through and through and i’m not ashamed of it!

HAPPY PLACE:

anywhere in the sun, with my family by my side.

BIGGEST GOALS:
