The self you’re seeking isn’t missing


Hey there, conscious creators!

Hope you are well.

I’ve been busy these past few weeks recording new meditations, writing, refining some core teachings on identity shifting — and developing my new coaching programs.

In this edition, I’m sharing:

  • A collection of 50 identity-shifting tips from my journals
  • A morning meditation designed to reprogram your subconscious
  • A short essay revealing three hidden blocks that keep us looping
  • A video on the biggest misconception about identity shifting
  • A 21-day guided journey to uncover who you really are

I’d love to know what resonates most — feel free to hit reply and share.


50 Practical Tips for Identity Shifting

Over the years, I’ve filled countless notebooks exploring what it really means to shift identity — not as theory, but as lived experience.

These 50 tips come straight from those pages: real insights and practices that help coach me back to alignment when doubt crept in.

Don’t try to work them all — just pick a few that resonate and see how they fit into your day.

New Morning Meditation To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind

Transformation doesn’t always require hours of practice.

All you need are ten intentional minutes each day that retrain your nervous system to believe a new story about who you are.

This morning meditation helps you reprogram your subconscious through breath, heart coherence, and emotional safety. You’ll release tension, anchor new beliefs of worthiness and capability, and gently visualize your day as your empowered future self.

The 3 Hidden Blocks Keeping You Stuck in Your Old Identity

You can do all the “right” inner work — meditate, journal, visualize — and still feel like nothing’s changing.

It’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s because you’re unknowingly doing it as the same identity you’re trying to outgrow.

In this short essay, I break down the three hidden blocks that keep almost everyone looping — and how to move from effort into real alignment.

Video: The Biggest Misconception About Identity Shifting

Identity shifting is often depicted as becoming someone else entirely.

But it’s not about becoming different — it’s about remembering who you’ve always been.

I created this short video to share the deeper truth about manifestation and identity shifting:

You’re not creating a new self. You’re uncovering the greatest expression of your soul.

I'm learning again and again that so much of this inner work all points back to one thing: The self you’re seeking isn’t missing. It’s just waiting to be remembered.

The answers you think are missing are already inside you.

If you’ve been resonating with these teachings shared in this newsletter and feel ready to live them more deeply, I’d love to work with you inside my new Return to Self 1:1 Coaching Program.

Hi there, Reader! I must admit... I used to say things like… “That’s just how I am.” “I’ve always been this way.” And I believed it. Believed it like a scar — something that had formed, closed, and would never soften. But that wasn’t truth. That was training. A kind of loyalty I didn’t know I was allowed to outgrow. Because that sentence, “That’s just who I am,” isn’t self-awareness. It’s self-defense. A shield disguised as a mirror. And it works. It keeps us safe from expectation. It keeps...

Hey there, conscious creator! Lately, I’ve been exploring what I call the “unglamorous path of identity shifting.” Because beneath all the language and techniques around manifestation and becoming, there’s something simple and essential at the core. Let’s unpack the layers: Manifestation is about shifting your identity. Shifting your identity is about stepping into the person you’ve always known you’re destined to be. Which means this whole journey of spiritual growth is really about radical...

Hey there, conscious creator! I’m writing this after a few beautiful days traveling through the California coast and just before I head off to Hawaii. While I’m technically on a little break, I wanted to share a short passage I wrote this morning to remind myself (and maybe you, too) that no matter what’s unfolding in life, there’s still so much to live for. I hope it stirs something true and alive in you. 👇 There Is So Much To Live For Some mornings, I wake before the sun and feel like I’ve...
