In this solo episode of The Gothic Heart, I share an exciting update on how embracing authenticity has transformed my work with Amity Alexandra. From transitioning the brand’s aesthetic to a more Victorian Gothic and ethereal vibe, to the joy of launching my first collection—featuring pieces like the Haunted Mirror pendant and Arachnids Allure earrings—I reflect on the passion and pride that fuels each design.

Plus, there’s a sneak peek into our upcoming Celestial Shadows launch party, with glam workshops, swag bags, and more.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with my brother, Seth, about what it was like growing up together, our wildly different interests, and the hilarious moments that defined our sibling bond. We reminisced about the times I made gift-giving easy by loving anything with skulls or yellow (yes, that’s still true) and how our clashing music tastes became a source of endless banter. Seth shared his memories of me dragging him to concerts he definitely didn’t want to attend, and we reflected on how our relationship evolved over the years, from childhood squabbles to him dressing up as Dracula to officiate my Halloween wedding. This conversation was all about family, embracing who we are, and finding humor in the journey.
