6: This Is How We Lose Our Way

10. The Creator Code

This is an important milestone episode. In Episode 10, I'm introducing something that came through me in a shower download last year in exactly the right threshold and at exactly the right moment, and has been quietly reshaping everything since. It's called The Creator Code, and it's the architecture of inevitable success which leads to the unforgettable fuck yes life I keep talking about. I start with my childhood, growing up in a family of artists where there was no TV, no microwave, no pop music and trace the through-line from that little girl drawing in eclectic art studios all the way to the framework I'm teaching now. Because this isn't a strategy I learned, it's a truth I lived, sometimes beautifully and sometimes at real cost, including a marriage, my mental health, and years of burnout I didn't see coming. The Creator Code is built on three capacities that every creator who achieves enduring, sustainable success has cultivated within themselves: Grit (devotion, direction, staying power), Genius (voice, story, transmission), and Self-Responsibility (inner authority, self-knowledge, ownership). Most of us are born with one outpacing the others, and that's where the bottlenecks live. This episode maps all three, names the shadows that emerge when they're out of balance, and explains what becomes possible when they're working in equal alignment, which is what I call The Sovereign Alchemist state or the fuck yes life in practice. The Creator Code isn't mine. It came through me, but it belongs to every creator who has ever felt the gap between what they're making and what they know they're capable of.

9. Fill the Edges of Your Being

I wasn't planning to record today. But something wanted to come through, and this is what arrived. Fresh back from Joshua Tree, one woman said something to me that made me burst into tears in a car: "You fill the edges of your being." This episode was born from that moment. We come into this world with limitless potential. Life buries it. Growth is the process of finding it again, of locating your edges, filling them, and discovering there's always more. More you.  And for those of us standing at the threshold of midlife: we are not here to shrink. We're here to lead. To share our medicine. To take up more space, not less. Something big and new is coming in just a few days. It's my gift, my medicine, and it's what I needed when I needed it most. Join my email list to be the first to know. In this episode: * The phrase that made me cry in a car in Joshua Tree, and what it revealed about growth * Why genius doesn't disappear, it gets buried, and what it takes to uncover it * The baggy tracksuit metaphor for what expansion actually feels like in the body * Why midlife is a rite of passage, not a disappearing act * What it means to carry medicine and give it back to the world around you Join the community: If this resonated and you feel called, the link to join my email list is below.

8. Two Small Moves and One Big One That Actually Moved the Needle

Sometimes the smallest changes create the biggest shifts. And sometimes you have to make one massive leap to change everything. Fresh back from California with my high-level mastermind, I'm sharing the three moves that moved the needle in my life over the last 12 months: two small experiments that changed how I understand my own body, and one big scary decision that finally let me step into my real purpose. The two small moves: * Coffee experiment: What happens when you stop drinking coffee on an empty stomach (hint: it's not about cortisol, it's about a hormone called adenosine that I'd never heard of.) * Deodorant experiment: I stopped wearing deodorant six months ago and learned what I actually smell like (spoiler: women smell beautiful) The one big move: * Business pivot: After six years of taking two steps forward and two steps back, I finally drew a line in the sand and stepped out of my full-time photography business role Here's what I learned: Small moves build trust in yourself and uncover things you couldn't possibly see before. Big moves require massive amounts of grit, devotion, and inner resolve. Both are medicine. Ready to go deeper?

7. Sacred Desire & the Unforgettable F*ck Yes Life

Sacred desire isn't what you think it is, and that's why you're still settling. In this episode, I'm sharing how to reclaim your sacred desire and live an unforgettable fuck yes life. This is the essence of ‘More’, not just for me, but for every woman ready to stop compromising her aliveness. Sacred desire is your alive, non-negotiable, creative life force. The part of you that demands a life worth living, not just existing, but a life that makes you want to leap out of bed every morning. It's embodied, it's aligned with your truth, and it refuses to compromise. Here's what everyone gets wrong: they think one big thing will create their dream life. The perfect relationship, the dream job, the forever house. But you could get all of that tomorrow and still feel empty because the foundational pieces aren't in place. The real work happens in 5 areas and we break all of this down in this episode: 1. How you love yourself (your inner dialogue, nourishment, movement) 2. How much you listen to yourself and shape your life around what you hear 3. Your willingness to expand your perspective (human design, astrology, alternative lenses) 4. Your willingness to do the hard inner work 5. Who and what you surround yourself with I'm sharing my own stories, including the $4700 decision that renovated my whole life, why ‘the grass is always greener’ is actually true, and how small lifestyle tweaks change everything and open doorways you couldn’t see before.  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction to Sacred Desire 01:11 Understanding What Sacred Desire Is 05:27 The 5 Foundations for Creating a Fuck Yes Life 06:24 1.
