I was told for years that my big emotions were my problem.

That they were getting in the way of my leadership. When I pushed back, I was told that what was really showing up was the nasty, self-sabotaging part of me attacking my own growth.

For a long time, I believed them.

It took leaving that environment, and a lot of healing, to understand that what they called defensiveness was actually discernment. That not all feedback is worth taking. That they couldn't really see ME through their own patterns, projections, and agendas.

I wrote about it this week on Substack. For every woman who has been told she has an ego problem for trusting herself.

Oh boy. Finding the women to be in Coven while discovering in real time how to do business differently has been quite an experience.

Here's an honest breakdown of what's going on:

The first few days of Coven's enrollment were electric. Women said yes quickly. The circle started forming & I felt the confirmation that I was aligned. I felt so much excitement & certainty.

And then.... things slowed down. And my certainty disappeared.

The past few days I've felt the pull to make something happen. To discount, to convince, to sell... To do what I've always done when things felt uncertain in business: push harder, take more actions.

But Coven exists precisely because I'm done with that.

So I'm doing something I've never done inside a business launch before. I'm surrendering. I'm praying. I'm asking my guides what to do & then actually waiting for the answer instead of running past it.

Last night I woke up at 3:33am with a name in my head. A woman I hadn't thought to reach out to. I messaged her this morning. She's interested.

That's what I'm building Coven around. The knowing that arrives when you get quiet enough to hear it. Actions that feel like divine guidance instead of my own need to control & force something into existence.

It's easy to have faith when the results are happening. Now, I'm feeling tested. How do I show up with faith & certainty when I don't have the results? How do I trust that whatever happens is perfect for the journey rather than feel failure or inadequacy if the full 12 doesn't show up?

I have 6 seats left & 6 days until the door closes.

If you've been watching & feeling the pull towards this... trust that information. You don't have to have it all figured out. I sure as hell don't. We're discovering & creating something together - in a circle of women who want to discover the magic that's available to us when we stop driving & start living in devotion.

Send me a message & let's explore together.

It's the Spring Equinox! I sent a post on my Substack to help you honor the turning of the seasons.

Let's celebrate with some divine feminine energy:

💫 Ostara tips the axis toward light.
🔥 Persephone returns from the underworld.
☀️ Astarte brings things forth.

Three faces of the same truth: something that was underground is ready to emerge.

You can see the post on Substack. Link is in my bio.

Six of 12 seats have been claimed. Six remain. Is one yours?

Coven is a seasonal container for women who wish to explore devotional business in community.

Coven doesn't add to your plate. It creates a gentle structure and communal support for what's already on your mind, your heart, and your list.

This circle gives you the courage to take the leaps you've been afraid to take alone.

We do business in the way women were designed to:
In circle. In season. In surrender.

So if you're...

✦ Craving a real community, women who get it because they're building something too
✦ Desire work that feels like a spiritual practice
✦ Feeling something wholly yours on the edge of being born
✦ Ready to relinquish control and trust what's unfolding
✦ Know in your bones that this is your season to build

This container is for you.

Claim your seat. Visit the link in my bio or send me a message.

I'll meet you in circle on April 1st.

This one’s usually for paid subscribers only. I’m opening it up to everyone because I think it matters right now.

It’s a New Moon guide on divine inspiration: what opens the channel, what closes it, and the practices I return to when I’ve lost the thread. Based on my own story, including how Coven came to be.

Inside: an essay and a downloadable workbook to put it all into practice.

It takes courage for a woman to bet on her own vision.

Most of us have been doing it alone. Carrying the idea, tending the dream, showing up day after day without anyone who truly gets it bearing witness.

Coven is the circle I wished I'd had. 12 women. One season. Building from rhythm and intention instead of pressure and force.

If you read through these slides and something in you says, "Yes!" Trust that.

We open on the Spring Equinox, March 20th. Add your name to the waitlist at the link in my bio or shoot me a DM and you'll receive a personal invitation first.

Take the leap with us.

An idea won’t stick around for long if you don’t act on it - it will go find someone else who is willing to say yes to it.

In Big Magic, Elizabeth Gilbert talks about ideas like they are disembodied entities, wandering the Earth looking for a human partner to bring them into existence. If you ignore one for too long, it moves on.

I believe her. I've waited too long on ideas and watched others express them with a pang of envy. I've also felt the impatience of an idea that refused to let me sleep until I opened my laptop.

What stops you from acting on your ideas?

Happy Friday the 13th Witches ✨

There is something so meta about experiencing the magic of devotional business while I am marketing a devotional business container.

I conceived of Coven on Monday March 2nd. By March 5th the website was up, and I had 2 women interested.

Now, 11 days after idea conception, 8 women are on the waiting list, a week before enrollment is even open.

The ease with which this is happening feels completely out of my hands. And I am holding it loosely. The "work" I'm doing to create this community?

-Sitting at my altar every morning, praying for God, my angels and guides, and all higher beings to guide my thoughts, words, and actions today.
-Praying for the women who need to hear my message to come closer to me.
-Sending personal invitations to women who pop into my mind's eye while I am meditating.
-Finding opportunities to be of service to people in my community. I've been making meals for people in need, and offering pro bono services.
-Carving out time in my mornings to study, read, and get inspired. I've written my own curriculum for what I want to develop myself in: feminine leadership and spiritual devotion.
-Going outside when my dog entices me to, to feel the sunshine on my skin and access feminine "play" energy.
-Praying for bed that my muses will let me sleep through the night, will inspire my dreams, and will show up for me in the morning AFTER I get sufficient sleep (this has been a negotiation since they consistently seem to wake me up with inspiration around 3-4 am 😅)
-Protecting my energy, my joy, and my life force by watching what I'm consuming - food, content, and energy.
-Sharing my experience, my personal story, and whatever inspired words come to me during my morning spiritual practice or study session.
-Consulting astrology and human design to ensure my practices, business design, and schedule align for my unique self.

This experience has been fun, fulfilling, profound, and moving. 10/10 recommend devotional business. If you want to come along for the ride 🌊, send me a message.

I've been thinking about the difference between information and wisdom.

Information is what you learn. Wisdom is what you know in your body after you've lived something.

Most of us are drowning in information and starving for wisdom.

Less consuming, more living and sitting with what you already know.
