Writings on Wayfinding, Circling, & Capitalism+
I’m a storyteller, and my writings tend to reflect this. Often, I circle back to you with questions to reflect on. Some posts are channeled conversations I’ve had with She Who Knows, some are on how to navigate capitalism as an anti-capitalist, and some are about circle facilitation. I hope they speak to you.

Trauma-Sensitive Wayfinding Support, Rooted in Integrity
There is no instruction manual for living a more purpose-driven, fulfilling, and grounding life when we’re living inside a dumpster fire. But there’s something better — wayfinding (with She (or The One) Who Knows) — and it’s accessible to you now.

I’m Always Struggling With This
Something I struggle with ALL THE FREAKING TIME is that I'll throw myself into a new project—with wild abandon, no less! — and then completely reverse course (or even drop it altogether) a short while later. I have been reflecting on it all and recognized a pattern that underlies many of my abandoned projects.
My Position On Generative AI
AI — specifically, generative AI — has been taking up a lot of mental real estate for me lately. The more I've learned about it, the more I've come to detest its existence. This post offers my position on generative AI, reflections for you if you are currently using it, and links to my own AI Policy.
Credentials Aren’t the Attractor
I was talking to my crazy awesome therapist the other day about how I’d decided to stop leaning so heavily on their teachings in my own work. This led to an exploration on how I’d share my teachers' credentials, as if doing so added legitimacy to my work through my proximity to those more accomplished than me.

Then & Now: Rape, Rage, & Allyship
I’m in a women’s writing circle — In Her Words, facilitated by Lael Couper Jepson — and I felt pulled to share what I wrote this week. In this intimate telephone circle(!!), we share our written words in response to a prompt. This circling practice is both simple and powerful, and I’m sharing my words with you today because they provide context for the shifts in my work.
On a Recent Liminal Space
I've recently transitioned out of a liminal space, which began around the time I became a certified Wayfinder Master Coach, and though this was a huge accomplishment — the collective culmination of seven months of master coach training plus the year and half spent in training and mentorship to become a life coach — I was loving the journey and didn't want it to end.

“How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.” -Rupi Kaur
After a lengthy hiatus, I've decided to facilitate another sacred sister virtual circle. And the theme that's been tugging at my heartstrings is self-love.
