On my drive home from Sedona hearts exploded out of the clouds and I had to stop and appreciate them.
Some see clouds. I see Weston sending me love. ❤️
9 months transitioned today. The same time my took this body to be the field for his body to grow.
Love never dies. It’s everywhere. 🩵

I don’t even like the word awakening anymore.
Awakening happens in the mind.
Then feeling opens the heart.
Then the nervous system stops bracing when you become a safe space for yourself. 🙏🏼🩵
And then - then - you experience heiros gamos.
Hieros Gamos IS the sacred marriage of your inner worlds:
People talk about hieros gamos like it’s a romantic myth or a divine union between two lovers.
But the deepest interpretation, the one the mystics guarded is the inner marriage:
- the union of heaven and earth inside you
- the union of soul and body
- the union of spirit and matter
- the union of consciousness and form
- the union of the divine feminine and divine masculine currents within your field
It’s not symbolic.
It’s literal and energetic.
Hieros gamos is what happens when your entire being comes into coherence.
Not “balanced.” Not “regulated.”
But interpenetrating.
It’s embodied spiritual physics.
The moment your body becomes safe enough
for your soul to take up full residence and the divine masculine and feminine currents
braid into a single, coherent field.
Awakened. Re-membered.

When you’re done efforting your way through…you’ll find no effort was needed. 🩵

You are here to wake up in the game of life and remember your wholeness. Your Divine nature. To contact God/dess not OUTSIDE of you - but within you. And as you find that inner spark that never went out, and you fan the flames of your divinity through your devotion to the sacred - your heart catches fire. Your nervous system ignites.
And you become the Light.
Weston told me that God IS Light, and love is God and they all have the same frequency. To raise your frequency is to become more and more the light you are.
And loving this way makes your exit from the body process non-traumatic and smooth because you’ll have done what you can here to do: be Love in human form.

All I can say is fuuuuuuuck. The energy is intense and my husband had to have emergency surgery Monday night so now I’m also a sleep-deprived nurse.
I’m still showing up for the full-moon ritual and soundbath in my first Held Circle. Because I need to be held, too.
I know it’s heavy when all I want to do is run away. Like I wanna book a flight to Spain and walk the Camino for 40 days. It’s ok nervous system. We can stay. And Breathe. And cry.
And today can just be hard and that’s ok. 💕🙏🏼
Consider this your permission slip to just be messy too, if that’s authentic right now for you too. You don’t even have to pretend you have it all together when you don’t. That sh*t’s so last year.

We are entering an era when humans are outsourcing their emotions to AI - and what it’s doing is terrifying.
👉🏻 There’s proof that the less you practice being present with pain and grief, the less capacity you have when the bot is offline.
2025 data: Therapy waitlists hit 14 weeks; 29 % of patients say “I forgot how to cry without prompting.”
But the time will come when the cost of doing your own inner work exceeds the subscription fee to outsource it. 🙏🏼
After 6–18 months, the brain rewires:
Natural trigger (memory, smell, song) ➡️ no tears
AI trigger (prompt, voice, vibration) ➡️ tears flow
This is emotional Pavlovianism.
Start now to budget your consciousness the way you budget money, and never let the algorithm write the line item for who you are. Seriously.
Why? Because first we outsource our mental capacities. Then our emotional capacities - and then we are feeling empty and asking what does it even mean to be human? And we let the AI decide. Users accept the AI’s verdict on which emotions are valid, useful, or safe to have. The machine doesn’t force this.
It offers a better version of you. Calmer, more productive, more likable - and you voluntarily amputate the parts of your soul that don’t fit the optimization curve.
And the soul in time, becomes eve more unreachable to a system that’s rewired to depend on AI. 😔
No one wants to feel the pain. I get it. But not feeling it is worse. It shuts you down, until you are willing to release the energy that’s stuck and stored in your system - and no one can do that for you. The only way out is IN.
And doing it while being witnessed and held… that’s healing on another level. 🩵🙏🏼 AI can replicate empathy, but it can’t entrain coherence. Only a living, breathing nervous system can hold another into wholeness.
I’m beginning to see why my life purpose is coming online now. 😳 And how needed it is and will even more be, to find safe spaces for rituals to grieve, to create, to be fully human and connect with the sacred in this life…and wake up in the game. Because it matters to your soul. This isn’t your life. This is a pit stop on the journey of the soul - one you made for a reason. 🙏🏼

It’s here. It’s time. The Held Circle is forming. This is the space I wish I had - so I’m creating it.
Awakening has always been my purpose here - I never imagined I’d be doing it through grief, loss and pain - but now I know those are potent portals to your TRUE Self - your luminous Being who resides in Love.

Awakening happens on three levels - your mind. Its ideas and concepts land and make sense. It’s a conceptual awakening.
The heart where you begin to feel - and the mind starts to rebel a little. This is emotional intelligence awakening.
And into the body where the mind rebels a lot. This is embodied wisdom awakening.
The only way through, is in. The way to liberation is in.
Awakening isn’t leaving any parts of us behind. In fact, it’s a reclaiming and a rebirth of the parts you exiled long ago.
You know you’re bypassing if it’s “love and light” and “good vibes only”. The Magdalene way is in. To awaken the full spiritual technology that your body actually is, and use it what it’s for - a vessel for your soul to express the love of God in the world. 🩵
Embodiment isn’t the end of the path; it’s the resurrection. 🙏🏼

Grief isn’t a feeling. Feelings only last about 90 seconds if you don’t tell a story about them - which then invites what’s mean to pass through to stay and visit.
In the beginning of grief, it felt like being thrown overboard into a stormy sea where the waves came incessantly. Then there more space and more space and more space between the waves.
But the energy of grief hasn’t gone away. And I don’t think it ever will. And I don’t want it to. To me grief is a language of the soul and it’s one I forgot how to speak decades ago…until my son’s earthly death reminded me…I speak fluent grief.
The language of grief asks us to feel. The soul doesn’t communicate through the analytical mind. It moves through waves of sensation, energy, and emotion. Grief is one of the purest of those waves. When we grieve, we are feeling the full impact of love in its apparent absence.
It’s the language of becoming. Every soul speaks grief when it is shedding an old identity. It’s the mother tongue of metamorphosis.
In mystical traditions, grief is initiation. The breaking open that lets divine light in.
To grieve is to be spoken to by God in the language of unmaking.
When we allow it to move through us, it alchemizes into compassion, clarity, and connection. And what’s ungrieved never goes away.
The trauma stuck in the body is unlived grief. But when we allow it to move through us, it transforms us and the soul converts it into expansion. More.
It’s a language of the soul because it asks you to hold and to love, even more. 🩵
It’s here and it’s time. I’m launching The Held Circle. A space to awaken through grief. ❤️🩹🌹🙏🏼

Create Space Studio: manage your mind. free your spirit.
Create Space Studio teaches you how to manage your mind - and mindset - with the power of mindfulness, and discover and free your creative spirit with the power of art.
Through my classes you benefit from the 300+ books I’ve read, countless hours in meditation and retreats, studying the neuroscience of mindfulness at UCLA, MindfulSchools, Mindfulness Exercises and reading mind-numbing research papers (seriously. there’s a study for everything.) One day I accidentally dipped my paintbrush into my meditation practice and Create Space Studio was born. Everything I do, I do for community. It’s literally how I’m wired.
Here’s what I know because I live what I teach:
This is a process of deeply knowing and understanding yourself. No one can take this journey for you, and it’s not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of courage to show up authentically as yourself in this world. There’s no quick-fix - true and lasting transformation take time, and paradoxically the only time is now.
Creativity is the journey toward authenticity. Every time you make a choice to act and do something with intention in your life - that’s creativity. Every time you break an old thought pattern and expand your thinking, that’s creativity. Every time you chose to do the thing your gut tells you to do instead of your head - that’s creativity. Creativity is intuition training, trust training, faith training, and it’s flat out brave. Art is a tool to OPEN YOUR HEART and to exercise your brain. Deep connection doesn’t come from the mind - it arises from being.
Mindfulness is training your brain to greet each moment as it arises with what is in the moment - SO THAT YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CHANGE YOUR RESPONSE TO IT. I put that in capitals because many mindfulness teachers teach that you greet the moment non-judgmentally and with acceptance. After 5 years of that practice and nothing was changing, I cried bull-sheet and decided to use the awareness of the garbage in my mind to change my mindset. And it worked. So that’s how I teach mindfulness to you - to manage your mindset because mindset is everything. It’s the power of learning to respond instead of react to everything and every situation in life. It’s training your mind to stay focused and to become observant, and most of all to notice your thoughts, so that you can choose to break the habitual mind loops that keep you stuck.
It’s fun. It helps you lighten up, enjoy the day, enjoy the ride. You slow down and realize there is no “there” to get to! It’s all about the journey - it’s all about the process of deeply becoming at home in your bodymobile and falling in love with the magic of this life.
In the last 20 years I have done a PhD’s worth of research into the scientific benefits of mindfulness, creativity and mindset. The transformation in my life was so profound that I gave up my fortune 100 management career and dedicated my life to learning how to bring this ancient and wise practice to others. I have trained through UCLA, Mindful Schools, a few 10-day Vipassana retreats, MBSR, MSC, MBSR-T certified trainer and Mindful Exercises MMT. I have read about, studied about and practiced creativity and have developed a way to help other people find their own creative path. I am absolutely humbled and amazed at how mindfulness and creativity go together, and being able to show others how to tune into this power too. It’s not a gift for one: it’s for us all.
