The Myth of Success What matters in life doesn't always come with a paycheck, a promotion, a spotlight, or an audience

My new Substack article talking about the play I’m writing this summer and sharing some thoughts on the idea of “success.”

I was trying to tell my husband that I need to shred the rotisserie chicken, but what came out of my mouth is “I need to peel the chicken.”😂

I signed up to take a play writing class this summer & I’m giddy about it! I’ve had these characters swimming around in my mind for a little while. I’m really excited about focused learning, time, & intention toward writing these women and their story in a play format!

Back to Equilibrium What the spring equinox teaches us about being human

“This means that there is an even balance between the dark and the light. Living is also so much about existing within dualities. The equinox feel like an opportunity for us to balance back into a state of energetic equilibrium.” Read more

In Another Life The incomprehensible event that happened after my past-life regression hypnotherapy session that rocked my world

I’m not exaggerating when I say that this is the wildest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life.

I'm 100% sure that if Dante Alighieri wrote Inferno today, in one of his 9 circles of hell he would include calling customer service to try and get an issue solved, being misunderstood by AI tech, saying "Speak to a representative" on repeat, but never being able to speak to an actual human.

If you deconstruct your faith but don’t interrogate your ego, racism, & misogyny, then no matter what space you find yourself in, those toxic behaviors will follow you.

So don’t think just bc you left church that you’ve absolved yourself from toxicity. The call can come from inside your own house.

I’ve been recording audio of my Substack articles. A friend gave me the ultimate compliment & said I should be a professional audiobook narrator.

Omg. Not only do I love recording audio bc I get to tap into my performing background, someone thinks I should do it professionally? I feel so SEEN!🥰

What It Felt Like To Die The profound experience I had in past-life regression hypnotherapy

I’m proud of myself for being vulnerable in sharing this experience with the world. & I’m proud I was able to articulate such a deeply profound experience, both in writing it & in recording the audio. I’d be honored if you’d read/listen.

Indeed 😍

I’ve had trichotillomania since I was 10. It’s been a coping mechanism to help me regulate through anxiety. I’ve tried to stop over the years, but I’ve just learned to accept it & now I go w/ its ebb & flow & show myself compassion.

If I have any eyelashes in this day and age, it’s truly a miracle.

I’ve been journaling digitally for yrs but I’m working on getting memories out of the digital sphere. I’m slowly printing out my digital journal but moving forward, I’m back to old school pen & paper. The joy from writing with a fountain pen on the perfect textured paper is indescribable.

Idk if the billionaires have never seen Don’t Look Up, but the rich people that think they can escape earth to start over on another planet get eaten by bird aliens in the end so…

Sounds like we need a weekend getaway so we can have a chance to add it to the board.

Omg strawberries and Nutella is 😍🤤

Watched the first season when it came out and now that season 2 is out & the world is on fire, I can’t handle it. My husband is relaying it to me like I’m listening him do podcast episodes summarizing every episode. We have a good system.

I love this so much!

Empires rise and fall.

Art, storytelling, and creativity last and make an impact over time and space, beyond empires.

It’s a challenge to show up right now. But I’m committed to showing up to my creative work. Fellow creatives, will you join me?

they're banning books & taking control over the arts.

We remember stories & history bc of the art that impacted us. We see ourselves through the lens of art. We experience humanity. Art & creativity have the ability to show us a way forward, give us hope, and to imagine a better world.

& that we creatives have to fight for, is that our creative work matters greatly. We bring our unique talents to the world & the ability for artists to transmute the human experience into forms that make an impact on society are necessary & important.

Art changes lives. It changes minds. That's why

“I don’t know if what I’m doing really matters.” That’s the lie I’ve been fighting off as a creative person lately.

I know I can’t be the only one.

In a world that’s on fire, my work as a writer & storyteller feels frivolous when actual dangerous things are happening.

But the truth that I know,🧵

Oooo, yes. I could eat parm by the spoonful.

Me, in the replies 👀

If you want something tangy (not a fan of that adjective), I’d do sharp cheddar.

Otherwise, I think the smoked Gouda replies are on to something.

Reincarnating How my rejection of fundamentalist religious thinking and learning to sit with new information about other spiritual beliefs changed my life

"It was compelling. It made sense. But even though I had released my claws from their death grip on my Christian faith, I was so indoctrinated to believe that something like reincarnation does not exist. I was working on embracing mystery so I just held it…open."

We’ve been doing puzzles too! It helps to keep me from doom scrolling. I also made my work space cozy and inspirational.

I’m chuckling at myself for using puzzle as a verb. Will be doing this from now on & I’m gonna be so annoying about.

“I’m gonna puzzle for a few. Anyone wanna puzzle with me?”

“I was listening to this podcast while I puzzled…”

“Sorry to interrupt your puzzling…”

“I’m happy to puzzle with you!”
😂

If you have space, I highly recommend leaving a puzzle out in a communal area of your home. We’ve done this the past few wks & it facilitates connection with people in your house. We all randomly stop to puzzle & end up spending time talking together. It also helps keep attn away frm doom scrolling.
