So much energy goes into worrying about what others think, while most people are just busy thinking about themselves. 😜

And when someone does notice? Their response can be completely different from what we fear...

At an age when many are slowing down, I’m starting over — building something new without a safety net. 🌿✨

I wrote about it after a week in Sweden with tantric empowerment & embodiment coaches. Freedom, uncertainty, and possibility – all at once.

A dominatrix, a fire goddess, and a sauna…👠🔥
Not a joke — just a true story from a retreat in Sweden that woke something up in me.

She doesn’t chase pleasure.
She becomes it.

Soft. Wild. Sacred.
Unapologetically open.

Not for anyone else.
For her own joy.
Her own body.
Her own becoming.

Ever feel like things are technically okay, but something still feels off?

I know. A lot isn’t okay in the world right now. But maybe you’ve got a roof over your head, food on the table – a life that “should” feel fine.

And still…

If we don’t love ourselves, we may mistake attachment for connection, validation for intimacy, or find ourselves in relationships that mirror our own self-doubt.

We've been taught to touch ourselves quickly, quietly, and with a bit of shame. But there’s a whole world waiting beyond that pattern.

Yes, I'm all smiles, and happy to announce a project that I have been working on for the past couple of months… or, depending on your perspective, the past several years.

I’m talking about my own website, which I just launched last week. 🎉

Anyone on Substack? I just created an account and published my first post! Exploring all these new platforms – well, new for me at least. Let’s connect if you’re out there! 😊❤️

How often do you dream of a different life, only to follow it with “Yes, but…”?

You don’t need a lottery win to create the life you desire. The first step is the hardest – but if you don’t start, you’ll never get there.

Yes, but…

Banning books, restricting #sexualrights, renaming places on the map, appointing billionaire friends to high government positions. No, I'm not talking about Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia, nor authoritarian regimes like Putin's Russia or Orban's Hungary. It's so sad. 🥲

Sex can be a complicated and difficult issue for a lot of people in long-term relationships. Add in depression and it just gets tougher. Add in leftover American puritanical reticence to discuss, gets tougher still.
Our show this week is about sex.

NEW: Trans women in federal custody were placed in solitary and told they were going to be moved to men's facilities days after Trump's exec order. Other trans folks have issues accessing HRT.

Advocates fear this is just the beginning.
