去年今日✨ love is the cure

STRAY is in the wild. Have you ever been a stray?

Somewhere between who you were and who you're becoming. No longer quite belonging where you started, but not yet knowing where you're going.

Sometimes we get lost because we're searching for something. Other times, we're finally brave enough to stop following the map.

Being lost isn't always something to be rescued from: there's a strange freedom in letting go just enough for life to surprise us. To wander into places we never imagined, and discover parts of ourselves we never knew were waiting to be found. We find each other along that journey.

This year, I adopted

, a little stray who had perhaps been through more than I have. Learning to trust and understand each other without words has been its own quiet lesson in love.

STRAY is my 9th song released as an independent singer-songwriter, and this one took me on quite a journey.

🎶 With

- Hans and Kath, whose soulful voices and Hans' minimalist production gave the song the intimacy I'd always imagined. 🎬 With

- creative director of the music video, bringing another piece of our shared visual world to life through our co-created Ninefold studio ✦ 💃 With Lisa Luna - choreographer and dancer, who spent the summer with me exploring movement, vulnerability, and a whole new language of expression. A little documentary of our journey is coming!

No slopcore. No autotune. No beauty cam. Just voices, movement, imperfections, and everything that makes us feel alive.

A behind-the-scenes documentary exploring the making of STRAY, our summer of dancing, and the creative journey behind the music video is coming soon.

LOVE IS THE CURE ♡ 🎬 STRAY - song + official music video OUT NOW!

With love, Ivy Lumi✨

Thank you for being source of inspiration yourself - new single coming soon for the next soundscape 🐈‍⬛✨

A trace of something true… led me beyond places I wanted to go ✨

Tune into today's spontaneous #LivyLumi - Omnichord karaoke 🎤✨

Grateful to have a recorded conversation on

with

as whenever we connect I’m humbled and inspired!

We talked about life, the healing power of #Bitcoin , love, and the little moments that matter the most to us.

Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and hope you feel hopeful and inspired with this one, too 🧡🫂✨

Moments from Seoul 🇰🇷

New and old places, ever-evolving stories, and a lot of food in between. Somewhere along the way, life keeps unfolding.

Love is the cure✨

Who would have known, how a single note could unfold.

Grateful for all the love and support along the way.

I want to keep documenting the journey: creating, exploring, and hopefully inspiring you to follow your own curiosity and passion, too.

STORIES THAT MAKE YOU BUILD.

As a kid, “enough” was easy. Finish your homework, then you can go play.

Growing up, nobody tells you when the work is done anymore.

I suppose, to live a fulfilled life, there’s something we can’t outsource: learning to define enough for ourselves, knowing what we truly want, and doing the work to get there. Way to be an inner-peace maximalist 🤭

Thank you

for giving me the space to reflect on this one. I hope it inspires you too - whether that means taking a well-deserved break, or deciding what you want and going after it.

GM, a self to become ✨

The new edition of

is out! 🧡

Honoured to continue contributing through the Ivy Lumi column, alongside so many wonderful builders, thinkers, and creators.

In this issue, I reflect on the idea of “enough” - starting with the little girl who always had to finish her homework before she could relax and play, and what happens when you grow up and the homework never really ends.

Perhaps defining “enough” is its own practice of proof of work.

What does enough mean to you?

Like any good side quest enthusiast would ✨

Moments from the journey - 2 summers ago✨

Looking forward to sharing more music 🔜

Kris and I have shared quite a few chapters behind the scenes of Bitcoin over the years from conference chaos and press rooms to some pretty surreal moments we got to revisit in this episode 😅

Now she’s entering a new chapter, helping build the Master in Bitcoin, and we talked about the balance between conviction and dogmatism, curiosity and certainty - and what it takes to turn passion into something you can build and pass on.

It was quite special to sit down and reflect together on what the next generation of Bitcoiners would look like, what we should learn from each other, what we hope to pass on, Bitcoin culture, education, life, and a few stories from along the way 🧡

One of the most beautiful things about making music is knowing someone chose to support it - not because you had to, but because it meant something to you.

Every zap carries a little message:
"Keep creating."

Thank you

for always supporting and sharing ✨

Songs become moments. Moments become keepsakes.

We're still in the early days of interoperability on Nostr and beyond. It's exciting to watch the ecosystem slowly become more connected.

In the meantime, here's me building in public, one lesson at a time 🧡💜

Thank you for organizing such fun and practical markets, super happy to win the bid on the
