Hey there conscious creator! Hope you are doing well. Ever feel like the whole concept of manifestation is just a bit too woo-woo? You're not alone. I recently received a comment from a reader on one of my posts that made me LOL: “Damn, all those 80-hour work weeks when all I had to do is ask the universe in the correct way. At least I know now.” Hilarious, right? I get it. The idea of manifesting your dreams can seem as outlandish as casting spells in a fantasy novel. It's no wonder there are so many non-believers out there. But here's the thing—there's more to manifestation than the oversimplified, magical thinking often portrayed on social media. With countless “spiritual content creators” popping up these days, it's easy to get lost in a sea of misinformation. And trust me, there are some major myths out there that need debunking. In my latest essay, I break down the top five misconceptions about manifestation, including:
These myths aren't just a bit ridiculous—they could be holding you back. By moving beyond these superficial ideas, you can embrace a more nuanced, empowered, and holistic approach to manifestation. This means tapping into your true power and transforming your reality in ways that might surprise even the biggest doubter.

Get yourself right first by looking inside to understand why you will give your time and effort to this goal.

// New Talk: Embracing Beginner's Mind 🕊️ A Mindset Shift For Work And Life: Go From Ego To Awe And Wonder What if you could transform your work and personal life by shedding the weight of having to be seen as an expert? This talk calls you to embrace a 'beginner's mind'—a state of open curiosity that allows for infinite possibilities to emerge in your experience. By releasing our ego's need to know everything, we rediscover a childlike sense of wonder that sparks joy in the obvious, mundane, and what we take for granted. The need to be an expert, and to have all the answers, can actually limit us. Instead, when we approach our life with a beginner's mind, it reawakens us to the amazement of being fully present and drinking in each new experience without any preconceived notions or judgments. How much more would your life be filled with joy and wonder if you approached every situation as an awe-inspiring journey of growth and awareness, instead of feeling pressured to prove your worth?

Please share it! // Parting words 🥀 A reminder from Spanish poet, Juan Ramon Jimenez, that truly seeing something is seeing no thing, yet you can experience it. I unpetalled you, like a rose, to see your soul, and I didn’t see it. But everything around—horizons of land and of seas—everything, out to the infinite, was filled with a fragrance, enormous and alive.

Hey there, conscious creator! As we prepare to close out one year and welcome the next, I want to offer you an uncommon piece of advice: Forget New Year’s Resolutions. Ease up on setting goals for outcomes or things. And I’ll even go as far as to say: Let go of trying to "find your purpose” this year. Because resolutions, goals, and even your proverbial “purpose” are fleeting. They change and ebb and flow just as you do, moving through the seasons of life. Most of all, they’re byproducts of...
Hey there, conscious creator! Why do our deepest desires go unmanifested? Why do so many of us, despite our good intentions, fail to make lasting changes in our lives? And why is it that, year after year, research shows nearly 90% of people abandon their New Year’s Resolutions by February? The answer is simple: We give up too soon. When progress takes longer than expected and challenges arise, most of us ghost our desires. This is where dreams go to die. But why? Why do we set sail with a...
Hey there conscious creator! Over the past month, I’ve been talking with many readers about my upcoming Identity Shifting course. My biggest takeaway? How deeply connected we all are and how much we share the same struggles. Why do I say this? Well, from all of my conversations, the common theme is that nearly all of us: Desire to do passionate, purposeful work that sets our hearts on fire.
