I felt pulled to do a series on where people pleasing intersects with the journey to become better allies and accomplices, especially for people who hold white privilege. In this post, I’m going to talk about performative allyship, activism as self improvement, and hustling for approval, all of which can get kind of jumbled up […]
Some of the most transformative personal development work we will do in our lives is work that’s forced upon us. The divorce that forces us to discover our worth. The job loss that forces us to discover our true calling. The illness that teaches us to slow down. The loss and subsequent grieving that teaches us to […]
“Nature has given us a brain that survives in a changing world by changing itself.” – Norman Doidge, The Brain That Changes Itself Every journey of transformation starts somewhere. There’s a voice in the back of your head, and it’s been there for years. Or you’re miserable, feeling stuck in old patterns, nothing going right. […]

That’s where mood magick comes in. And yes I’m calling it that because it’s more fun than “emotion replacement” or whatever. And because it […]
I’ll bet you cashmoney that when it comes to feeling crappy, 80% of the time, you’re the culprit. Just kidding. This isn’t about fault. It is however, about self-sabotage, and I’m going to show you how cut that out. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Perception Is Everything As we go about our day, we’re constantly acting […]
In my post about neuro alchemy, I talked about how you can become an alchemist of your own mind, gaining control over your thoughts, feelings, and actions, thereby empowering you to change your life and the world.
