Earthbound is a spoken word story about my near-death experience.
There remain parts of this story I can’t fully wrap my mind around—even ten years later. But, the more I’m willing to sit with the not knowing… the more space I create to welcome tender parts that once misperceived pain for brokenness and tragedy for fault.
Retelling this story reminds me that if I want to live and grieve well, I must embrace the great mystery of life.
The honest pathway
of wonder
true joy
aliveness
And this—is the curriculum:
acceptance
forgiveness
love, above all.
What if you could keep your heart open… especially in moments you most want to close?
To shield what’s soft—
with armor,
cold and hard as steel.
Permission to put the burden down.
Dance your sorrows, sing your hopes, paint your dreams, give breath to your curiosity, and celebrate your resilience.
Creative process gets to be more about letting go and allowing space for resolve take root, rather than finding answers or solving the puzzle.
Maybe that’s what life is all about, too…
Shedding skin—
slowly and surely
healing scarred tissues,
layer by layer.
Relaxing into the eternal moment—
listening to an entire landscape
of bumps, bruises and fine lines
weathered imperfection.
If there’s one take away I can confidently claim from this NDE, it’s that there’s purpose for my life, and I have the power to choose. No one or thing can take that from me. Choice and control are different. While there’s very little I’m actually in control of, I am always the one who chooses—
who I am
how I respond
and what I create—
even in the vast embrace
of the great mystery.
(Also… this life is mystical AF and I’m so here for the full spectrum magic.)
Thank you for your witness.

Earthbound Pt 1
Earthbound is a spoken word story about my near-death experience.
It began in the ocean
rippling—
through my body
ten years
When I came to, my body was already swimming to shore—instinct lead. I remember emerging from the water… Then there was terror, disorientation, and an encounter with a benevolent being.
This experience doesn’t live in memory alone
It lives in the hard bone and soft tissue of my soma
Some days—
haunting
Others—
enlivening
I’ve held this story close to my heart, but now, I feel grateful for the opportunity of creative release.
As I write… I’m remembering the value of claiming and sharing our personal lore. Our strangest, most challenging, and most mystical encounters shape us into the kaleidoscopic, divinely human beings we are. Our stories don’t have to cage us — they can set us free. Power in choice and voice.
Thank you for your witness.

Disrupt Your Spending Habits
In this episode…
we explore how the body speaks in sensations, contractions, and openings. We talk about resistance— not as a problem to solve, but as valuable information leading us to the possibility of deeper listening and self knowledge.
Through guided meditation, inspired contemplation, and generous reflective offerings, we rediscover the fruit of unwinding, meeting what arises with curiosity, and allowing the body’s intelligence to guide the way.
Key themes discussed:
꩜ How the body communicates through sensation and patterning
꩜ Leaning into simplicity to foster sustainable self nourishment + spending practices
꩜ The importance of pausing and letting things settle before fixing or figuring out
꩜ Why true integration happens through presence, not bypassing
My hope is that listening in will encourage a deep sigh of relief for the entirety of your being. Do less, be more, ease in, slow down— there’s beauty all around. What are you missing? Something subtle, silky and potent. Your power is here. Sit still and let it cohere.
Take a moment to breathe slow and steady, reflect on the prompts, and allow your body to express what’s alive inside. Whether you're writing, moving, or simply being present, trust that your next step is already waiting to be discovered.
Let me know what insights rise for you.
