  • (SEASON 3) EPISODE 6: Under the Influence

    Welcome back, friends!

    My last episode was 128 days ago, June 27, 2026. So much has happened. The experiences I share in this episode actually started a year ago in June 2025. However, it is the last one which began August 24 that really took its toll. It really alerted me to the fact that during this entire time I had been under the influence...

  • (SEASON 3) EPISODE 5: "Today is a Good Day to Die"

    Spirit reminded me of this quote this morning: "Today is a good day to die".


    According to Google Search, this English phrase has been attributed to the war hero Crazy Horse. However, the first historical documentation of it's use is from the Lakota cheif Low Dog during the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1881.


    It made its way to me during the beginning of 2011, in a homeless shelter program for women with children.


    In this episode, I explain it's impact on me the first time I heard it and the amazing transformation it had on me this morning!


    I hope it has the same effect on you and how you continue your journey to authenticity!โœจ๏ธ

    Now that I have settled into the newness of this new version of myself which I was ushered into through the experiences of "the bumper cars" (pt.2) and "the lapse (pt.3), I realize that I have been liberated from my past.

    I've learned through these experiences that freedom and liberation are totally different and concerning my authenticity I'd much rather be liberated than freed!
