What if you didn’t have to control, force, or figure it all out?

What if your life could unfold—not through planning and efforting—but through trust, ease, excitement, and non-planning?

In this episode, I explore the powerful (and often misunderstood) concept of non-doing. We’ve been taught that action equals progress—but I’ve learned through experience that sometimes, the most profound shifts happen when we stop trying to unfold life and instead allow life unfold & reveal itself to us.

I share how I came to this truth—not through ease, but through struggle—and how I’ve learned to trust the unfolding, even when I don’t know what’s next. If you’ve been clinging to control or caught in the cycle of overdoing, this episode is your invitation to soften, let go, and remember: you don’t have to do anything to be aligned with your path. That it will unfold for you the moment you stop trying to control and plan.

I'd love to connect with you! Please reach out if you’re curious about my 1:1 coaching program, my offerings, or if you'd just like to say hey and connect.

In this episode, The Crossing From Believing Your Universe Takes Care Of You To Knowing It, we explore what it means to move from merely believing something to embodying it as a profound truth. When you make this crossing, pure freedom becomes available. A belief is something you think might be true, but a knowing is so deeply integrated that it becomes the foundation of how you live.

I dive into the key factors for making this transformative shift, including releasing the need to control or manage outcomes and embracing the perfection of the universe. Everything is always working out—even when it feels uncertain or scary perfect. This episode invites you to experience life exactly as it is, without attaching importance to specific outcomes, and step into a life of true freedom.

I also share my personal journey to this knowing and how it has reshaped the way I live and navigate the world. But always remember: you must have your own experience to truly come to this knowing that all is perfect and there's nothing for you to do but flow with life.

My purpose is to guide the sober-curious through this transformative journey using the vehicle of sobriety. As a Sobriety & Awakening Guide, I help the sober-curious get leave substances, awaken to their true selves, unlock their full potential, and start creating a life that is meaningful, aligned, authentic, and purposeful. I mentor those who sense there’s “something more” to life—those who are on the traditional path but feel a call to explore themselves and their lives on a deeper level, knowing that their substance use is holding them back.

As I continue on my journey of feeling instead of numbing out, I gain wisdom meant to be shared, and I hope this episode resonates with you on your own path of awakening and becoming.

In this episode, Real Talk: The Truth About Navigating Friendships, Social Life, & Sobriety, I dive into the raw and honest reality of what happens to friendships and social circles when you choose sobriety. The #1 fear many people have about sobriety is the potential impact on their social life and relationships. Fear is just false evidence appearing real, and I hear you! It can feel daunting to let go of the old, to invest energy into transforming current relationships, and to face the possibility of losing friends while making new ones. But don’t let that fear hold you back from choosing sobriety!

This episode explores all these topics and the shifts that can occur when you decide to embrace sobriety—how these changes may feel isolating at first but also deeply liberating as you begin to align with your true self.

We’ll discuss how sobriety transforms your social circle, ways to navigate social anxiety without relying on substances, and the importance of having open, honest communication with the friends and family who matter most. Plus, we’ll touch on the freedom that comes from redefining connections, clearing space, and inviting new friendships into your life.

I’ll share my personal experiences—how I’ve managed the fear of losing friends, how I’ve shifted friendships through candid conversations, and the loneliness and feelings of exile that crept in. Most importantly, I’ll share how I’ve discovered deeper, more meaningful connections in sobriety than I ever had during my using days.

If you’re grappling with the idea that sobriety might create distance between you and those around you, or if you’re already sober and feel like your social life is dwindling, this episode is for you. We’ll talk about how sobriety isn’t just about what you’re leaving behind—it’s about what you’re making space for: new connections, genuine experiences, and relationships that truly support your growth. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about the challenges and rewards of choosing a path that prioritizes your well-being and personal evolution.

My purpose is to guide others through this transformative journey using the vehicle of sobriety. As a Sobriety & Awakening Guide, I help the sober-curious get sober, awaken to their true selves, unlock their full potential, and start creating a life that is meaningful, aligned, authentic, and purposeful. I mentor those who sense there’s “something more” to life—those who are on the traditional path but feel a call to explore themselves and their lives on a deeper level, knowing that their substance use is holding them back. As I continue on my journey, I gain wisdom meant to be shared, and I hope this episode resonates with you on your own path of sobriety, awakening, and evolving relationships.

One of the most common questions I get is, How do you find your purpose? In this episode, I take you into the journey of discovering your true calling, sharing the key insights, tools, and practices that helped me align with mine. We all crave a life of fulfillment and meaning, and as spiritual beings having a human experience, we often find ourselves asking: What is this all for? Why are we here?

Here’s the truth—it’s not to be miserable, anxious, or stuck in unfulfilling jobs and relationships. Society has taught us to follow a script that disconnects us from our gifts and keeps us small. But what if you could break free from that? What if you could step out of the box society has placed you in and finally start living the life you were meant for?

In this episode, we’ll uncover how cultural norms, beliefs, and societal pressures suppress our purpose. I’ll guide you through practical steps to shift out of this conditioning, reconnect with your inner voice, and awaken to your true path. They don’t call it the Hero’s Journey for nothing... It’s time to stop settling for the so-called 'comfort and safety' that feels miserable and unfulfilling, and step into the Mystery, the Unknown, the Discomfort. It’s time to start following the call that’s been whispering to you all along.

In this episode, I dive into the depths of spiritual awakening, sharing my personal understanding and current experience. 
That awakening isn't all roses and butterflies; it encompasses the full spectrum of emotions and experiences—both light and dark.

I open up about my most recent awakening, which has been both painful and challenging. Having stepped away from my role as a high school math teacher 8 months ago, I found myself without an identity, without the security of a "stable" job, and without control over what happens next. I discuss how I'm navigating this new reality, confronting old beliefs and conditioning that create resistance and pain as I move through this raw and messy process.

The intention behind this episode is to give you— your journey—permission to be chaotic, wild, painful, and unpredictable. This is a natural part of the process. 

Through this episode, I intend for you to see my imperfect process and know that you're not alone. 

My life's purpose is to guide others through this transformative process. I mentor those who sense there's "something more" to life, who are living the traditional path but yearn to explore themselves and life on a deeper level. As I continue on my journey, I gain wisdom meant to be shared, and I hope this episode resonates with you on your own path of awakening.

In 2014, my life changed forever. I woke up from an 18-year-long illusion, sparked by one transformative book that initiated my journey back to my true Self. This profound awakening led to a series of life-altering decisions: resigning from my tenured position as a high school math teacher, leaving my home, family, and the state of Massachusetts, and ultimately booking a one-way ticket to Costa Rica in search of my Self.

In this episode, I share my entire journey of self-discovery and transformation. Today, as an Awakening Coach, I guide others who have awakened from an unconscious existence to uncover and embrace their highest selves, empowering them to create lives of alignment and purpose.
