A living journal on creative freedom, true wealth & enduring power

Exploring what comes after manifestation culture and prosperity gospel. What it looks like to wield real power without delusion. Creating inside reality, instead of trying to escape it. Building wealth without fragility, power without inflation, confidence that survives uncertainty. The end of being yanked around by fear and desire. Actual power that survives failure, success, loss, and being fully human. Core stability, to build our lives and enterprises upon.

tethering to the deep
You cannot fear destruction and love creation. They are two sides of the same coin. This is what I think happened to a certain generation of New Age teachers; the ones who built real things through manifestation culture and then, when they began to ...

on momentum
I almost skipped everything today. I woke up with a weird kink in my upper back that radiated forward between my lungs, making it painful to breathe and move, so I spent most of the day horizontal, watching Charmed. By the time early evening rolled ...

invocation of creative power
I shamelessly call upon my creative power. I tap into streams of congruent energy when I find them and let them boost me. I let myself be boosted from above and below. I call upon the power within me and all around me to bring forth the words, to ca...

the tyrant works for me
I have no desire to be a tyrant or a megalomaniac. Lord knows we have enough of those characters in the world. And yet I know the archetype lives in me. Only now am I understanding it.  I spent much of my life afraid of being overpowered by tyrannic...

making it up as i go
Lately, I've been yearning to write—feeling as if there are things I really need to be writing about, while simultaneously feeling as if I have absolutely nothing to say. This morning, it became clear why. I've been secretly entertaining t...

when the maps stop working
When I first started my life coaching business in 2012, my mantra was “No limits, just love!” To my mind, I was taking a wrecking ball to consensus reality and annihilating my limitations so to live a life of freedom.  What I didn’t understand was t...

life hangs in the balance
I think about death a lot, but have been contemplating it even more this week, as my kitty, Syntha, lies in a hospital cage with a deadly virus-parasite combo. Siezed by the #2 killer of cats, she fights for her little life as it hangs in the balanc...

shapeshifter
I write, but I'm not a writer. I teach, but I'm not a teacher. I make art, but I am not an artist. I turn lead into gold and work magic, but alchemist or witch, I'm not either. Nor am I a mentor, though I guide the ones who tap thric...

to live inside out
to live with an open heart is to turn yourself inside out and then stay that way to live with an open heart is to feel love for the things you care about so deeply that you also feel the ache of losing them before they are gone. but to live is to lo...

destroyer of worlds
For most of my life, I identified as a rebel and considered myself a lover of freedom. A freedom almost always defined by what I was running from, rejecting, or pushing against. I prided myself on being a creator of worlds, but in actuality, all I d...

between optimism and cynicism
Albert Einstein once said the most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe – but I say the most liberating decision we can make is to decide that we live in both at the same time. I've looked ...

the freedom of constraint
I have a million and one ideas, and I want to pursue them all. For a polymathic freedom junkie like me, picking something to focus on is difficult because it requires abandoning everything else that I want to do. Currently, I'm in a season of ...

am i great yet?
“Greatness isn’t handed to you!” she urged from the stage, as she addressed a room full of self-proclaimed future billionaires. One thousand of them. I saw only a clip of her talk, but assume, having myself once sat in similar rooms, she was imparti...

different places, different faces
I spent the first 34 years of my life in Nebraska. I lived in the small capital city of Lincoln, which was comprised largely of families that had either lived there for generations and couldn’t fathom leaving, or people from teeny tiny farm towns ac...

certainty in uncertainty
I’ve found that I don’t become certain by trying to make myself feel certain. (For some reason, this is a thing all the manifestation teachers say you MUST feel to have what you want) All that trying to make myself feel certain really does is make m...
