How The Vital Edit Was Pieced Together

What do Mormon missions, magic mushrooms, shamanic astrology, and a degree in literature all have in common? Oh! ME!

This planner is the result of a lot of choices (see above) that I thought were dead-ends or "Well, that was a phase!" choices. Little did I know that they were each a tiny piece to the puzzle in helping me find a pattern for living with more purpose, joy and intuition.

This planner contains over 20 years of the best practices I've found on my own arduous (and thrilling) spiritual journey. I've been through some intense initiations, learned "the hard way," and also had some of the most beautiful practices fall into my lap due to sheer, divine luck. I've snorted sacred tobacco up my nose to clear my chakras, shoved a hose up my ass to heal my gut, and burned tree-frog poison into my skin to release trauma. I've tried religion, politics and the corporate path to success. I've experienced the kind of poverty where you sleep on basement floors, shower from a bucket, and return 3-year old sheets to Costco just to pay a bill. I've done reiki, meditation and foot-zoning to reset my nervous system. I've travelled to live from different cultures' perspectives, connected with mentors to expedite my growth, and had some mind-blowing breakthroughs that required learning how to braid the magic in with the mundane.

All this to say, there have been a lot of ups, downs, revolving doors and moments of absolute surrender. Circumstances have challenged me exactly as I needed them to. And while many of them I'd NEVER "volunteer as tribute" to repeat, I am grateful to have experienced what it's like to have the RIGHT PEOPLE show up at the RIGHT PLACE and the RIGHT TIME to help me grow in the RIGHT DIRECTION.

This planner is a love letter (and a ladder) to the version of you stuck in the swamp of self-doubt and buried under the crippling thought of, "I really wouldn't mind if I didn't wake up tomorrow."

If that feels relatable, then you're in the right place, at the right time, with the right thing to support you in growing in the right direction. So, breathe. Tune back into your heart. And trust that there's a version of you who knows that:


EVERY DESIRE IN YOU IS A SEED OF POSSIBILITY AVAILABLE TO YOU.


Here's me rooting for your next chapter,

My Vision:

I envision a world where depression, loneliness & despair become the blank page for a better-feeling story— where people wake up excited to take complete authorship over their life.

        My Mission:

        I help people PLAN and IMPROVE 

        how to LIVE, LOVE, and DIE well 

        by using STORYTELLING techniques. 

              My Values 

              OR 

              What You Can Expect From Me:


              GRACE

              I give it. 

              I allow myself to receive it. 

              And I try not to judge the mess of anyone mid-transformation.


              HUMOR

              I prioritize the use of dark wit and irreverence as medicine.

              Sometimes, it's the only thing that can make the most difficult aspects 

              of life capable of digestion, conversation and transformation.

              If I can shock a laugh out of you, I can shock life back into you.


              CURIOSITY

              I'm always training curiosity to be my knee-jerk reaction to life. 

              It has always guided me to the next right step.

              It softens hurt, judgment and disappointment, 

              while putting me back in the driver's seat of my own story.


              COMMUNITY

               I value PEOPLE OVER PROJECTS and CONNECTION OVER CORPORATION.

              If you come to me with a request that's in alignment with my

              CAPACITY, VISION, MISSION and VALUES... 

              I'm likely to say, "Let's give it a go!"
