I love these long, deep-dive days with clients.

Jamming about what it truly means to live an aligned and alive life/business/relationship (and how to act on it).

Today, there’s a smoldering, fierce kinda of love woven through the stories.

One that says …

Settling for a life that feels untrue is like living with a slow, terminal illness.

At first, the symptoms are subtle.

A quiet restlessness.
A dull ache of dissatisfaction.

But over time, the spiral deepens.

Passion fades.
Purpose blurs.
Dis-ease settles in.
Self-deception takes root.

And before we know it, we’re shackled - by expectations, obligations, comfort zones, conditioning, status quo, golden handcuffs, trauma loops.

But here’s the thing:
What’s comfortable isn’t always safe.

Once upon a time, I learned to ask myself:
Is it really better to be safe than sorry?

Because no matter what path we take, life will bring struggle, setbacks, and heartache.

Fear will try to convince us that playing small / shutting down /shrinking / staying silent will protect us.

But, avoiding risk / adventure / challenge / uncertainty / truth doesn’t shield us from pain.

Because, staying stuck hurts too.
Living a half-lived life is its own kind of suffering.

So, instead of following what’s predictable, what if we aim for what’s true?

Letting our intuition be our compass.
Listening to what the body wants us to know.
Paying attention to the heart-tugs that nudge us a certain way.

The right path won’t always be the easy one.
(though, it might be)
The easy path won’t always be the right one.
(though, it might be)

Let’s not be seduced by the predictable, the familiar, the known. Let’s be intoxicated by what’s real, soulful, and deeply (unapologetically?) ours.

Here’s what I know for sure:
when we choose love, we choose liberation.

(by “love” I mean the pure, true kinda … not the trauma-responses wrapped up in survival strategies that we sometimes think is love).

When we follow our desires and go after our dreams, we might lose some things.

But we might just gain everything.

Like the freedom to love ourselves, others, and life as truly and fully as we can.

That’s what I’m here for.

As entrepreneurs, we are busy.

Busy learning.
Busy growing.
Busy creating.
Busy supporting.

We are trying to be better.

For us.
For them.

The mental hustle to be better can distract us from being present with the wholeness of what it means to be human.

From feeling the rhythm of the heart.
From sensing the energy in the body.
From hearing the song in the soul.

From being in the here and now, with as much love as we can muster.

Growth is good, but don’t let it be a distraction from what matters most.

If you got a weird, spammy message or saw me posting about crypto, air drop bonuses or exclusive deals on your wall today … that was not me.

Hopefully you know me well enough to know that douchery is not my vibe.

If my account said anything sketchy, just know, I didn’t write it.

I’m more into soulful transformation than limited-time offers.

Off to my little corner of the internet now.

Carry on with your beautiful (hacker-free) day.

Notice where you put your attention.

Do you spend your time focusing on what’s not right and what could be better?

Do you spend time celebrating the good and tossing out words of compassion?

Do you spend your energy debating, arguing, and proving your point?

Do you spend your energy understanding, empathizing, and encouraging?

What you focus on, grows.
What you give to others, you receive.

Your mind is always answering the questions you give it.

If you go into the world, asking how you’ll be hurt, you’ll find evidence of hurt.

If you go into the world, asking how you’ll be loved, you’ll find evidence of love.

Perception precedes reality.

Does hurt happen?
Yes, absolutely.

Does how we respond to hurt determine how much we much suffer?
Yes, absolutely.

Your freedom lives in your power to choose.

With all that’s going on in the world, it’s easy to want to stay plugged in, to not miss a thing (kinda like how you don’t want to, but want to, look at a car accident).

But, staying chronically connected to the noise and the news is overstimulating and draining.

The constant hits of dopamine and adrenaline can be addicting and depleting.

Take time for yourself to recharge and reflect, to find what makes you feel alive, to know what helps you stay connected to your awareness.

For me it’s nature.

The miracle of the sun rising everyday, an acorn growing into an oak tree, the moon pulling at the sea, the aspens turning from green to gold - these are the things that soothe my soul and settle my mind.

Blend time in nature and quality time with the people I love and magic happens.

When I’m in nature or with loved ones I try my best to not be partial - partially here and partially there.

For me that means no phones in the mountains or at meals, it means no multitasking between screens and eyes.

I don’t always get it right, but I do my best to be as present as possible.

Twenty years.

That’s how long I’ve been creating art from my heart (writing professionally, creating experiences, coaching from the depths of soulful living).

Every year, I learn a little more that maintains my enthusiasm, that creates more resonance in my energy, that sharpens my intention.

The emergence of AI taking over the world of writing is bringing up all the feels for me.

Some shock and awe:
what a remarkable creation!

Some curiosity and experimentation:
how can this make my life bigger/better/easier?

Some edginess and grief:
I can’t feel the energy or essence of my online people anymore.

The last one, reminds me a little of my grandmother’s reverse chocolate chunk cookies (dark chocolate cookie, white chocolate chunks, make with love).

They never tasted the same when I tried to make them. Ya know?

I precisely followed instructions she left, in her pretty cursive handwriting.

I didn’t deviate by adding my own flourish (like I usually do with baking)

I read and reread that butter-stained piece of paper so many times I could recite it from memory.

Still, it never tasted the same (they were even worse when I bought the store-made version of the same cookie).

While I could replicate my grandmother’s recipe, I couldn’t replicate her spirit.

Here’s what I believe:

it’s the essence of the writer
that resonates with the reader

it’s the energy of the healer
that creates the magic

it’s the soul of the creation
that invites the patrons.

I just don’t think that stuff can be replicated.

I’d rather consume creations from imperfect humans with run on sentences and comma splices and no em dashes and essence and energy and soul … than anything else.

Most people are walking around every day of their lives, creating their present from their past (there is a wayyyy better option, but that’s beyond the scope of this post).

When we can’t come to terms with the fact that our behaviour in the present is often confined (and defined!) by pain from the past, we continue reliving unconsciously.

At best, this is not ideal.
At worst, it is dangerous.

Pain is a fact of being alive.
How we choose to relate to it is up to us.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to lean into pain - to acknowledge it, explore it, embrace it, alchemize it.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to make the decision to stop adding to the natural pain of life - to no longer harm ourselves, to opt out of suffering, to step away from drama.

Sometimes, it’s necessary to make a commitment to care for ourselves and each other, no matter the cost.

With this caring commitment comes new beliefs,
new thoughts,
new feelings,
new behaviours.

New neuropathways are formed,
new stories are told.

What I love about doing life with this man is this:

we have both been through some challenging (interesting/evolutionary) human experiences in the past, we both have inner dynamics we dance with in the present.

In our togetherness, we are committed to staying conscious in our marriage, creating resonance in our family, and evolving into the love we desire.

With each other’s support, we transcend patterns, talk about the hard things, stay true to the real things. We explore what we want to learn, what we intent to create, and how we want to grow together.

We have walked beside each other as we navigated love and loss at the same time, supported each other as our families grew exponentially, held each other through unexpected professional transitions.

Our love is a giant bubble of ease, authenticity, honesty, support, and packed with plenty of laughter and love.

Life is better, together. 💛

I have a story to tell you about a little Sun who knew how to be born and didn’t require much assistance from anyone.

I awoke at dawn, in a state of activation.

Wet legs.
Tingling skin.
Fluttering chest.

He’s coming.

This little soul and I quickly found our way to each other, syncing up heartbeat with breath.

In the golden lull between surges, I baked a birthday cake – pineapple carrot, with goat cheese icing. It’s not his favorite, even though I had a romantic notion that it might be.

Matt filled the birthing pool and was the guardian of our space. He trusted enough to hold still, witnessing the eternal practice of birth giving way to life.

I crawled into the water and felt the soft swell hold me, as I closed my eyes and listened for our Sun.

There was no chaos, only calm.

… his birth story continues in the comments 💛

Grief is something I’ve had to get cozy with a few times in my life.

I know I’m not alone in having achy days cemented into my heart.

If you know loss, then you don’t need me to remind you how hard it can be, how the grief never really ends.

It comes and goes like seasons, or sunsets.
Changing, but always returning.

Leaving behind something, when I’m willing to listen and learn.

Here‘s what I have received so far:

💛 I am here for an undetermined period of time (the fact humanity exists at all is a damn miracle, beyond what I can rationalize when I really think about it).

💛 Mortality, while brutal is also beautiful (I probably wouldn’t figure out what matters most if my time wasn’t limited).

💛 Time is precious (don’t waste it judging or criticizing, holding grudges or gossiping, being hard on myself or others, don’t hang on to what burdens me or holds others down).

💛 Make the most out of what’s left of life (be conscious about my values and act in alignment with them, live each year as though it’s my last, lift myself up and help others rise).

I’m sure there are many more lessons to learn (if you’ve got any, drop them below).

Mostly, on days like this, I’m reminded to live each day with as much love as I can.

Once upon a time, I loved the lone wolf life.

Slowly, slowly, I learned that “lone wolf” was really a survival strategy.

A fear of vulnerability.

Today, I’m beyondbeyond grateful for the incredible humans who have taught me it is safe to truly rely on another, to let them allllll the way in.

If you looked at the predictive speech on my phone, you’d see the most anticipated lines are …

‘thank you’
‘I love you’
‘I treasure you’
‘I am so grateful for you’
‘You are made of amazing’

On the best days of my life, I give and receive love dozens of times.

If you took a peek at my schedule, you’d see how connection time with amazing humans is at the tip top of my priority list (my schedule is still brimming and thankfully my people are willing to work with me to carve out time to be together).

In order for all this radiant love to flow in, I had to learn alignment.

I am not for everyone.
Everyone is not for me.

I had to learn to stay steady in my resonance.
To stand in my coherence.

The dance of authenticity and attachment is the container that holds love.

When the dance is alive and aligned, the love can be too.

When are with someone you love, make time to just listen.

To be quiet.
To be curious.
To hear what they have to share.
To listen for beyond what’s being said.

This seems obvious.
And it’s easy to forget.

But, it’s way of healthy, reciprocal, loving relationships.

And, it’s how we heal the world.

By holding space for the tears to fall when our friend’s share what’s tender.

By looking into our children’s eyes and seeing the miracle they are.

By holding our lovers face in a moment of intimacy like they are made of stars and stories.

If we’re only talking or doing, we’re not only showing up in a weird way, we’re also missing out of some of the most beautiful facets of what it means to be in relationship with another human.

I have a desire to become the kind of person who brings coherence to the chaos simply by how I listen, love, and live.

Tired of chasing the same problems in business or life, only to watch them resurface in new disguises?

What appears to be a life/business problem, is often an inner world pattern.

Here’s what it might look/feel like.

🌀You keep saying “yes” when you know it should be a “no.” Overcommit. People please. Feel resentful. Then, exhausted. Seems like a boundary issue, right? But, what’s living at the root is linking worth to being “the reliable one” or fear disappointing others because love once upon a time felt conditional.

🌀 You’re stuck at an income plateau, even though you’re doing all the things. Hired the coaches. Joined the mastermind. Built the systems. Still, you can’t seem to break through. Maybe it’s a marketing issue. Or, maybe it’s a deeply embedded belief that making more means sacrificing your freedom (or being judged).

🌀You keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners. Different names. Different faces. Same patterns. You’re going to therapy, doing the work. But, around-the-merry-go-round you go again. It’s not that your picker is broken. It’s that a part of you that still equates love with proving, chasing, or earning (because that’s what love felt like growing up).

Trying to solve the problem without resolving the source, usually doesn’t work.

It just pops up again, in the same (or sometimes different) form.

You can hustle harder. Read more books. Take more courses. Tweak your offers. Evaluate your schedule. Biohack your health. Affirm your desires. Meditate until you’re in Theta.

But if the root cause is deeper …

old beliefs
protective habits
unresolved wounds
survival strategies

… you’re just rearranging surface symptoms.

If you want to resolve it or dissolve (even better!) it go to the root cause.

That’s where the real transformation lives.
