  • Go from Chaos to Clarity with These 7 Questions

    We never do this, but it was just too good not to share with you.

    On Wednesday we held one of our infamous Creative Sessions — screens on, focused attention, work together kinda vibes.

    This one was specifically intended for all participants to leave with clarity and immediate next steps to take towards achieving ONE MAJOR upcoming project or goal to close out 2026.

    Led by our Co-Creator, Amy Keller, who guided us through the exact SEVEN QUESTIONS to go from Chaos to Clarity. It had the room on fire!

    If you were in the room at the session on Wednesday, we’d love to hear from you what project or goal you are committing to!

    If you weren’t able to attend live, no worries! This is one session we absolutely did not want to gatekeep.

    We can’t wait to see you there!

    ok ok ok! Put your phone on Do Not Disturb. Get out your notebook and favorite pen. Let’s go to work. Here are your …

    SEVEN QUESTIONS TO GO FROM CHAOS TO CLARITY:

    Step 1: Brain-dump your projects or goals (about 4-5 minutes)

    * “I want you to take out a pen and a paper. I want you to write down the three to seven projects that are in your mind right now.”

    * “These can be creative projects that you’ve been thinking about. These can be dreams or visions that you’ve had. These can be things that you need to do.”

    * “So maybe for you, you just need to write a to-do list so that you start to get to the dream list...”

    Step 2: Edit the list

    * “Did you just write yourself a to-do list? Did you just write yourself, like, things you were already going to do anyways...”

    * “OR Did you write something that’s a little bit scary?”

    * “Did you write down something that is possibly going to really frighten you? It’s going to cause you to maybe have to change a little bit to get it done.”

    * “Did you write something that’s maybe going to ask you to call out parts of yourself that you typically don’t trust, parts of your personality or your skills that you don’t normally rely on?”

    * “Essentially, I want you to look at the list and see if you really wrote down something that is worth dedicating 30 days to just really going all in for, that you would not have done otherwise.”

    * “If you don’t have that thing on your list, I invite you to just finally write it down right now.”

    Step 3: Circle your focus

    * “You’re gonna circle the thing that you are going to focus on over the next 30 days. Circle that thing.”

    Step 4: List what you already have

    * “Make a list of everything that you have within yourself to achieve that project. So everything that you already have physically within yourself or within your grasp to achieve that project.”

    * “Maybe it’s the pen, the paper, it’s the canvas. You have a camera.”

    * “I even want things like encouragement. You have people who will encourage you. I want you to even write down if you already have a strategy for it.”

    * “It’s a positive self-psychology tool that shows you, you can do it!”

    Step 5: List what you need to get

    * “On the other side of your paper or below that list, make a list of the resources outside of you that you need to get to get it done.”

    * “Do you need to visit someone? Do you need to go to the library? Do you need to find a film?”

    * “Do you need to have a hard conversation?”

    * Maybe it’s: “childcare, time and focus, or to literally put time in my calendar that is dedicated to this project.”

    Step 6: Now, get brutally honest about distractions

    * “I want you to write down with your hand, not just in your mind... what are the distractions that you need to remove in order to make this thing happen in the next 30 days.”

    * It could be:

    * “Social media and wasted time scrolling or unproductive time.”

    * “Escaping yourself, where do you use tactics to escape yourself?”

    * “Are you wasting your time at night because you didn’t get to your project or yourself during the day...?”

    * “Do you need to stop taking phone calls with people who are draining your energy?”

    * “So literally write down what your distractions are and what you’re going to do to remove them.”

    * Essentially, do your habits reflect that you are the right person for this creative project to come to, or should it come to somebody else?”

    Step 7: Finally, take one bold action in the next 48 hours

    * “Over the next 48 hours, what is one action that you can take to move this thing forward?”

    * “And it should be a little bit much. It should really, really require you to take a big action. So I don’t want it to be like put it in my calendar.”

    * “Are you going to sign up for the 30-day incubator? Or just secure the babysitter? Are you going to make the hard phone call or send that slightly unhinged pitch email?”

    * “Be brutally honest with yourself and slightly aggressive with your commitment.”

    BONUS: Define success (with TWO targets)

    * “You’re going to define right now how you claim this as successful.”

    * “Pull back my bow, and make your aim, hit the target, and know what that Success is.”

    * “Now, what would be that second aim when you pull back your bow and you strike your target? What’s the second target for you where you would feel you’re so incredibly proud of yourself for moving yourself that far in 30 days?”

    * “But don’t stop there. Don’t b******t yourself. How are you really gonna say you’re successful?”

    * “What did you get? What did it produce? What can we show for our actions, our budget, our time, our skills?”

    We hope you feel like you used your time very well, that you got clear with yourself and got honest with yourself. That you enjoyed spending time with yourself.

  • Track 9: Words to Live By

    And here we are… landing The Mothership Volume 2 with our final track for The Village.

    Track 9 is a montage of “Words to Live By.”

    It was always our intention to create an audio-first experience for present and future mothers. Even if that meant we made it slow, intentionally, and one track at a time.

    Along the release of this sophomore audio album, we received many private messages from you.

    One of the themes from those messages that stands out to me is the concept of how energizing it is for others when we each embody our personal destiny with a holy endurance — for others to see.

    This is the idea that “keeping up” is a practice that you do which gives hope to others when they see it in action.

    This is the idea that most of the effect your work has in the world after it leaves you, you won’t see directly, or at all. But it will have an effect, nonetheless.

    This is the idea that your single pointed projection creates a legacy of sound that holds an infinite number of potential possibilities for others to create from.

    This is the idea that the Giver always receives the most.

    It’s been such an honor to share this commitment with you. We hope you’ve enjoyed Volume 2.

    Track 9 is a montage of “Words to Live By.”

  • Track 6: More Love, More Chaos, More Art.

    “For me, my mediumship is how I serve the world and then my art is to remember myself. It’s a need; an itch I have to scratch.” - Mary Grisey

    Mary channels her guides and her own inner wisdom, to share why Now is a really good time to reinvent yourself, her personal practices for activating creativity, and even shares the psychic vision she has mid-conversation with Jeana.

    Conversation Highlights:

    * Art as Channeling: Am I Channeling? What’s important in the urgency to create. The sticky aura. The gift of presences through the pressures of mothering. The intelligence of your spirit team.

    * Mary’s Personal Practices: More love and more chaos and more responsibility in your life. The importance of Prayer.

    * Relationship with the Mother: “My first daughter gave me confidence. My second daughter has given me a true connection back to spirit & the shadow and light in myself.”

    * Do We Have to Monetize Our Art? “It may not be making money, but if it comes from your soul, it probably will. Our spirit time is not going to allow us to fail if we are resonating from our hearts.” Should we fear AI.

    About Mary Grisey

    Mary Grisey is a psychic medium, channeler and visual artist based in Los Angeles, California. She has been connected to the unseen world ever since she can remember and works closely with her Spirit Guides. Mary is passionate about connecting her clients to their truest selves, spirit team and loved ones who have crossed over to the Spirit world.

  • Track 5: “A Place for the Women to Grow”

    Sarah Irani is an artist and mother. Her books on THE PARADISE REALM combine poetry, photography, paintings, nature, desire, ancestral transmissions, child-like innocence and journal prompts in an interactive 3-part series. Her self-portraits are particularly stunning in her natural habitat in natural form.

    Sarah Irani’s “A Place for the Women Grow” offers us a taste of The Paradise Realm, where women restore order to a land that has been ravaged. In their alignment with nature, boundless in freedom, they bring beauty back to Mother Earth. Irani’s poetry is visceral and real: playing on our ability to dream up a heavenly place even when it feels like darkness is all around us.

    About Sarah Irani

    Sarah is a mom to a teenager, a modern mystic who moves through the workaday world with a primal perspective, bringing her erotic depths up to the surface in order to play with the true expression of her soul.

  • Track 2: "Two Years"

    ANA ORRACH, mother and writer, shares with us her reflections on motherhood in a spoken word poem that reads like the Voice-Over in a Terrence Malick film. It is the ultimate expression of unconditional love and grief and wonder in the transformation from maiden to Ma.

    In what she calls her past life, Ana was the head of production of a post production company, working on commercial advertising, music videos, and documentaries. You may even get to hear her voice over work on a few of those commercials.
