Mood: Hang Gliding From Paradoxes
Current paradoxes in my life/work I am comfortably-uncomfortably straddling:
1️⃣ wanting to share everything about the last (extremely full) 6 months of my life and simultaneously, being so satiated by the present that I find myself barely sharing at all
The last 6 months have been one of the most intense periods of my life, and thus, lessons have been boundless.
In business and work, I've realized that we have built and birthed something that doesn't require me to be on all the time (or even, most of the time), to be constantly creating, or to share much of anything publicly at all.
Through trial by fire, I've discovered that these things—that once felt like necessary companions—have all ascended into the realm of choice.
I naively wondered over the last year what would become of our seventh year in business—a full Saturn cycle coming to completion. As per usual, everything I thought was not.
I've been humbled to my core by what we've dreamt and built, not by any grandiose external happening, but rather by seeing what remains when everything non-essential falls away.
2️⃣ experiencing a new level of depth, skill, and richness anytime I work 1:1 with someone, and having absolutely no idea how to talk about it without sounding totally pompous or utterly insane
For the majority of my pregnancy, I have had a blunt, visceral sense that my creative energies are being directed primarily inward (duh). While this was a hard pill to swallow at first (being someone who is usually pulsing like a maniac with outward creative energies), in this stillness, something beautiful emerged.
My 1:1 work became the place where I accessed the unparalleled creativity that had seemingly dissolved from everywhere else.
I'll never forget my first client call, while in the initial throes of first-trimester sickness. The awareness of feeling like I was on the verge of death faded to black. I felt the spirit of the bb happily hop into my womb (clearly, very excited about whatever big things this person was up to; it's giving Aquarius). And, my psychic awareness opened to a degree I hadn't felt before.
Whether it's with private clients, with The Hivemind women, or in The Hive—getting to interact with people 1:1 through energy work, mentoring, and feedback—has been where my life force fountains over with joy.
*curent Projector-me high-fives past Projecgtor-me for always prioritizing 1:1 interactions in my/our work*
3️⃣ knowing changes are afoot in my work and having absolutely no idea what they are 🙃
Firstly, hello to almost everyone 👋🏼 I know this is by no means an isolated experience.
One of thee best core-of-the-Earth foundations you can have as an entrepreneur (and, a human) is being absolutely grounded in the naturalness of you and your work's constant evolution.
You will change. Your work will change. Resisting that in any way creates suffering.
Yet… we are ever so sly with how we relate to this law.
Perhaps you find something in your work that feels more right than ever before and promptly clench tightly, exclaiming, "This is it! I've found it! This is who I am!"
Only to have it inevitably mutate—leaving you grasping at sand.
Maybe you over-identify with things changing, and because you know that everything in your work inevitably will, you avoid pitching a tent anywhere.
This, too, is its own sneaky form of resistance. Causing you to miss, time and time again, the vast intelligence that comes from claiming something as it is and going all in on the comedy sketch that is this season of your work.
Moral of the story? Pitch tents whilst simultaneously having absolutely no problem packing up and changing camp sites—when it's time.

September in The Hive: The Craft of Copywriting
We just kicked off month 3 of our COMMUNICATE immersion inside The Hive. This month, we focus on the craft of copywriting.
Our north star this month: investing your time/energy into the technical or skill-building side of any practice (in this case, copywriting), is not only just as important as the esoteric side, but also the very energy that brings it to life and creates a real impact.
Being able to copywrite even marginally well alters your work for the better, period. From the quality (and standards) of humans you attract, to people's total willingness to pay you, to the potency of your brand and how it's perceived.
Food for thought: I have received endless feedback over the years that *the thing* that led someone to buy from me was their resonance with my ability to write, speak, and think.

new podcast: The Business of Magic
I recently went on Eliana Miranda of Wellness Weavers podcast—The Psychedelic Playground. We talked everythang from mothering your business and offers to whales and pyramids to marriage and the meaning of union. Eliana is a longtime community member, collaborator, and all-around soul-friend. Speaking with her was full of giggles, depth, and flow.
new podcast: pregnancy alchemy
A month or so ago, I thought to myself… *I have lived so much life in merely the first three months of my pregnancy—and the only way I feel like I’d be able to pierce the depths of what I want to share is in a conversation with someone who understands.*
Enter—an invitation from Ellie Thomas. Longtime community member, soul sister, and (to me) a Life shaman.
Ellie and I recorded a podcast that got to the heart of why we yearn to have conversations. To experience unparalleled intimacy with each other, Life itself, and walk away, changed.
