In the spirit of, “you don’t have to have everything worked out, you just have to start,” here is another episode of Living in Response, a living exploration / experiment / liberation in speaking and sharing what’s alive and on my mind.

Topics Covered

Summarized by AI

Breaking the Habit of Overthinking

How a simple shift—brushing my teeth with my left hand—became a lesson in persistence, discomfort, and rewiring old patterns.

Living in Response vs. Living in Preparation

Shifting from endless research and preparation to actually engaging with life. Learning through experience rather than just studying concepts.

The Resistance Cycle in Creativity

How resistance shows up in new habits and creative projects. The moment when something stops feeling exciting and starts feeling like work—and why “pushing” (gently, intentionally, more like flowing) through that moment matters.

Speaking vs. Writing: Why This Feels More Alive

Why writing has kept me in mental loops and how speaking allows me to process thoughts in real time.

Interoception, Proprioception & Embodiment

Bringing awareness back to the body. The role of interoception (internal sensing) and proprioception (spatial awareness) in deepening my understanding of energy work.

Psychedelic Cannabis as a Mirror

How working with cannabis has helped me see my own energy patterns more clearly—sometimes gently, sometimes forcefully.

Expanding Without Forcing

Letting things evolve naturally instead of trying to control the outcome. Trusting curiosity to guide the way.

The Gemini-Sagittarius Axis & My Own Evolution

A story from my Living Astrology apprenticeship about how Gemini learns through study, while Sagittarius learns through direct experience—and how this insight is reshaping the way I move through life.

Energy Work Without the Woo

Why I’m passionate about grounding energy work in real, tangible experiences rather than vague, mystical language.

Dancing, Free Movement & Embodied Expression

Realizing that the way I dance at shows—completely lost in movement—could be something I cultivate daily. Expanding movement beyond moments of peak experience.

Algorithms, Synchronicity & Finding My People

Noticing how the more I step into my own process, the more I find others doing similar work—proof that I’m not alone in this.

Energy Activism & Discernment

Why fear-based narratives feel like traps, and how I’m choosing to engage with the world in a way that expands rather than contracts.

Letting Go of External Validation

Expressing for the sake of expression, not for approval or recognition.

Releasing the Need to Have It All Figured Out

Trusting that I don’t need to know exactly where I’m going. Just taking the next step and letting things unfold.

Final Thoughts

This is an experiment—one where I’m seeing what happens when I let go of needing to know where I’m going.

No fixed plan, no expectations—just speaking when there’s something to say (and lately there’s been a lot).
