Take notice of who are the bullies operating under the guise of “professionalism” or the excuse of hierarchy. Especially notice the ones who bend policy & public opinion to punish empathy and silence truth. The ones who use their power to control others are the bullies we have to conquer in adulthood.

Be on the lookout for a new set of classes & mentorship opportunities coming in 2026! I call it the Tower to Temple Path -
💥Surviving this Tower Moment
💆🏻‍♀️Reiki I/II
💖Heart-centered facilitation
🧘🏻‍♀️Leadership Alchemy
❤️‍🩹 Spiritual Triage for Transformative Justice
🌱Nurturing seeds of change
😏Sacred Subversion

They might not be the final titles, but I am so excited to finally step into the work of pulling together a new social fabric that can’t be broken by jealous forces of domination and control.

Follow for more announcements - registration for the next Tower Moment class opens soon!

I cannot emphasize this enough

Last week, I was in Toronto facilitating a conversation on equitable grantmaking with a group of colleagues, including several funders and impact investment leaders. During the rise of authoritarianism, it is vital for funders to understand what’s at stake and to act accordingly. I reminded the wo...

Clip from my latest live on TikTok about our and how delicate and interwoven it is.

Here I am talking about the intersections of the “med-voc rules” at is meant to push into a workforce that won’t accommodate them (because those protections are weakening), won’t let us work from home while they quietly strip away job training funds & DEI grants from workforce development centers that already were strapped for cash.

If this kind of talk is useful for you let me know in the comments below.

Otherwise, I’ll just stick to the one-off tarot readings on main

Let’s have a little conversation about .

Here is some of what I learned while not only on food stamps myself but then serving those who are once I shifted into work.

This is why it is so critical that pay attention to . While this is not everyone’s experience, it is useful nuance and context to remember when we’re tempted to paint whole communities with a wide brush.

It must be a day that ends in Y for Trump 2.0 - because now he’s gutted the dept of education in areas related to special education. Unconscionable. 😳😡

A lot of worried families and educators will be showing up for school not knowing what comes next. Imposing this kind of chaos on vulnerable and overwhelmed families is utterly reprehensible

If this is going to impact your family, please let us know in the comments 🙏🏼 I know disability orgs are not going to be silent, but all of us are scared because this can have such immediate impacts.

What can we do to support you right now?

September 29, 2025/TV Series Tarot - We have been counting on the process to guide and save us from the worst of ourselves, but isn’t that just another chain of control that we hand over to impersonal gears and levers that operate exactly as they were designed, crushing us in the process?

These messages are always free!

✨ Before replying, I’ve trained myself to pause and look for patterns.

Not just what someone says, but how they treat others, their favorite rhetorical tricks, their willful blind spots, and the emotional motives underneath.

Some people? 🚫 Immediate block.
Others? 🤔 Just asked a sincere question poorly.

Taking the time to know the difference saves energy and sharpens strategy.

This little habit has changed how I approach conflict online and in real life. And bonus? It slows down my own impulsive replies too 😇

💡 Have you noticed patterns in how people argue online? What’s your #1 red flag?

🌿✨ Take a few minutes to reset with me in this daily Reiki blessing I use before pulling cards.

Just for today, I…
💖 let go of anger + worry
💖 am kind to myself and others
💖 honor my boundaries as much as I share my gifts
💖 recognize the divinity in all I encounter

This practice centers me on how my leadership skills starts and ends with the care i show myself, my loved ones and my community. That is the basis of the future i want to create together.

May you go with grace, and be an example of the world we’re building together. 🌎💫

Some of my thoughts about this moment with Gavin Newsom…

yes, we can absolutely enjoy the parade of laughs that has knocked a narcissist off his pedestal, but we still need a message that is better than “anyone but Trump”.

I’m not here to argue over the qualifications of Newsom…if he’s your guy, great…this is a great chance for you to speak his praises. But just know it’s way too early for *me to commit to anyone’s banner, even if I can rally with this glimmer of hope.

What would you want to see in Democratic messaging?

What has been missing for you?

Who else is giving you hope lately?

Adding insult to injury for - the SOAR TA center is closing and with it goes all the resources & success tracking that helped practioners like me.

You likely have never heard of it - but SOAR has been a way we are able to help our unhoused clients apply for and retain disability benefits given the challenges they face in consistent medical treatment, access services and the ways trauma impedes the application process.

Obtaining these benefits stabilizes both housing & health, and offered my clients a meaningful opportunity to connect with networks of care. The results were extraordinary- and still, to this day I hear from my former clients about how important that work was to them.

So now I wanna hear from other human services practioners - what are you seeing in your corners of the industry?
