In this milestone episode, I return to a theme close to my heart: rest, burnout, and the alchemy of knowing when to pause.

I share raw reflections on how burnout sneaks up on us, why rest is not a reward but a necessary part of transformation, and how we can learn to listen to the body’s wisdom — no matter our age.

Whether you’re balancing work and creativity, or just feeling stretched thin by life, this episode is a reminder:
💫 Rest is an act of love.
💫 Rest is part of your becoming.
💫 You don’t have to burn it all down to rise.

Thank you for walking this journey with me for 30 episodes. Let’s keep evolving. Let's keep creating alchemy. 🖤

This week I’m laying it all bare — how I keep running headfirst into my old self-sabotage, right at the brink of feeling most alive and aligned.

I talk about the messy necessity of rest (yes, even when guilt claws at your throat) and why slowing down is a violent act against the parts of us that only know how to hustle and prove.

Then I take you inside a Ghost concert where nobody was allowed to record a damn thing. No screens, no distractions — just thousands of people present, pulsing, breathing in unison under the same electric spell. It was powerful, not oppressive; a collective exhale that somehow woke us all up.

We'll get into music, connection, intuitive living, forging your own messy, beautiful path, and how this is all part of the personal alchemy — the shadow, the sabotage, the pause, the scream, the surrender.

This is your invitation to be more unapologetically you, even if it pisses some people off. Especially if it does.

Thank you for being here with me and following this messy rebirth.

Episode 28: The Wild Alchemy of Being Human

What happens when we, creatures born of soil and starlight, remember our natural habitat? This episode is part story, part invocation—a reflection on a recent journey I took for my uncle’s celebration of life that unfolded into something deeper.

Hiking up Glen Falls, watching my daughter come alive among moss and stone, feeling the trees respond to my energy work, chasing fireflies by the creek, breathing in rain-kissed bergamot fields—it all became a vivid reminder that our truest alchemy happens in places untouched by concrete.

We’re energetic beings trying to adapt to lives inside boxes, forgetting the sacred exchange that happens when our bare feet meet the earth.

Tune in as I explore what it means to reconnect with the wilderness within by stepping into the wilderness without—how grief, wonder, scent, sound, and simple presence become gateways to our original design.

While we can adapt to living in what we have created and we can have fun with it, getting back to nature and hearing the heart of our natural habitat is unlike anything else.

Listen to your soul and maybe, just maybe, you’ll remember the forest that still lives in your bones.

Inspired Perpetual Alchemy Always.
