It's time to step into what's next
From clearing self to creating a path in a world that is slowly (and rapidly) stripping away
Like clockwork, a new season has arrived, and with it, the collective messages begin to shift. So with a diligent duty, here I am, to take what I have witnessed and synthesize it into something digestible and actionable for myself and, mayhaps, even you.
The first few months of 2026 held deep messaging about learning to be a villager, working with the nervous system to counter global chaos (i.e., 7 major planetary bodies in Aries), and reaching back to analog practice as medicine against the technological takeover.
Maybe you felt ALL of that, or none of it, regardless, like a tide pulling back, new layers are beginning to emerge from these places.
As these first waves of energy wash over us,
there is a seeming rawness left in their wake.
That is what happens when you clear things.
When you look at your life and ask
“What is missing?”
“Where am I settling?”
“How am I doing?”
and most profoundly, once again, “How the hell can I help?!”

For me, these questions have invited a deep and meaningful examination of my relationship to creativity, wealth, healthy partnership, and self.
As 30 lingers closer and closer, I feel a guttural pull to begin to align with more.
Not more things necessarily,
but more purpose, more alignment, more meaningful work.
To step into a new level of self.
One that welcomes visibility, abundance, and opportunity with ease and direction in a way I have never been able to hold.
I think back to when I was 22, building something I dreamed would cast me into the world of content creation, motivational speaking, and signing books across the world. To become the next Rachel Hollis or Elizabeth Gilbert. To radically encourage others to follow their dreams and make BIG change.
I think about how empowering and completely unnerving that entire journey felt. Like I was trying to run to the top of the mountain during a mudslide.
I could see the top. I could taste the air.
But I had so little of the tools. So little understanding of what it would cost.
No matter how much I wanted it, I could not let myself reach it.
Much like attempting to climb Mount Delectable of The Divine Comedy1, where the journey teaches that one cannot skip the necessary, often difficult, process of self-examination before rising to the light, I found myself descending into self.
And for the past 7 years, I have allowed that journey to take me somewhere so hard and messy and wonderful and incredible.
Now, I find myself eager to begin a new ascent, not up the false idol of Mount Detectable but instead towards whatever my soul is calling me towards, to find what layer comes next.
To do that, I have had to work to clear anything that has historically made journeying forward impossible.
Things like working to prove myself,
a mistrust that I can hold great things,
or even the fear of disappointment, myself, or others? A little of both.
And that is where the shifting collective message comes back into the picture.
A new invitation of vulnerability is being placed before us.
Asking us to find our rage for the beautiful things that are dying, our honesty around being seen, and the cost of rebuilding a society that relies on more inconvenience in exchange for more meaning.
A vulnerability soothed through the communal gatherings of summer, time spent in the outdoors, innovative music and art seeping into every small crack, and a clarity that, with whatever comes next, no matter how jarring it may be, we are all being called to seek beauty, seek truth, and to know ourselves and each other deeper than we have ever known.
This summer, I will be participating in the To Be Magnetic summer challenge, focusing on healing the visibility wound.
Join me starting June 1st to rewire the subconscious patterns keeping you stuck in hiding, get to the root of your fear of being seen, and shift it at the nervous system level and step into a season of authentic visibility and creative self-expression (whatever that looks like for you).
