[Insert Wisdom]

In this episode, I reflect on what it felt like returning to the United States after traveling through Austria, Germany, Czechia, Hungary, and Slovakia—and the strange disorientation of realizing I could no longer see certain things the same way. I talk about the Threads posts I shared this week, including: “Wanna know why people are so stressed in the US? Because they don’t have access to walkabl...

In this episode, I explore the strange, beautiful phenomenon of perspective—through science, space, and the quiet awe of being alive on Earth. I talk about the cultural moment surrounding Project Hail Mary and the Artemis II mission—the first human return to the Moon in over 50 years—and how both point to something deeper than innovation: a reorientation of how we see ourselves in the universe. At...

In this episode, I talk about why I’m feeling unexpectedly—almost stubbornly—optimistic about 2026, and why optimism is often misunderstood as naïveté instead of quiet power. I explore how cynicism has become the default posture of our time, and why choosing optimism now feels less like denial and more like rebellion. This episode is about building an inner world that can sustain you regardless of...

In this episode, I talk about what it means to finally—quietly—learn to let go. This morning, the phrase I think I’m learning to let go arrived in my mind like a whisper from somewhere older than me, and in this episode, I unpack how I got here: through radical self-acceptance, the law of assumption, and the slow reclamation of my own power. I explore the inner shift that happens when you stop gri...

In this episode, I talk about Pantone’s new Color of the Year—more specifically, the collective rejection of it—and what it reveals about where we are culturally, creatively, and spiritually. Instead of embracing the chosen shade, people across the internet gravitated toward a luminous, grounding green…and I unpack why that matters. I share why I think this spontaneous, collective shift says somet...

In this episode, I answer a listener request from one of my Library Keepers—thank you, Tim—and talk about my worldbuilding process, my writing process as a whole, and what it actually looks like for me to create a book from the inside out. I share what it’s been like working on my third book, how my process differs from the more linear or structured approaches you hear other writers swear by, and...

In this episode, I talk about the way my inner imagery guides me—how certain images rise up from nowhere, carrying a message or truth I’m meant to remember—and how powerful it is when you learn to decode them. I also talk about the importance of sharing your art regardless of if you like it or not. I share how I woke up feeling lost and frustrated, unsure of what I was making or why, and how a sim...

In this episode, I dive into The Art of After —the workbook I wrote on transforming grief into art—and share the truths, myths, and surprising “cheat codes” that make healing possible. I read a passage from the book on the most common misconceptions about grief, and I talk about what actually begins to shift when you stop trying to “get over it” and instead let it move through you creatively. I al...

In this episode, I return after a two-month hiatus to share what’s been stirring beneath the surface creatively, emotionally, and spiritually. I talk about the quiet season I’ve been in, what it’s taken to find my way back to creativity, and how writing my second book has challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. I reflect on how different it feels from writing the first—how there’s more resistance,...

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something I’ve only just uncovered in myself—something I’ve been doing for over a decade that’s never truly been aligned with who I am. Through the lens of Human Design, I reflect on what it means to live in your correct environment—and how easily we can fall into our “not-self,” choosing roles and behaviors that keep the peace but cost us our authenticit...

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something deeply needed in this moment: truth . In a world that often rewards denial, obedience, and emotional suppression, telling the truth—about who you are, how you feel, and why you’re here—is a radical act. But now more than ever, it’s time to wake up to that truth. I speak about the courage it takes to live in alignment with your deeper knowing, ho...

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something that lives at the heart of being human: story. From ancient myths to bestselling fantasy series, stories have always been how we make sense of ourselves—how we pass on wisdom, shape identity, and find meaning in the mess. But what is your story? What’s mine? And why does it matter that we know? I speak about the structure of story, why character...

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something ancient—something that’s been guiding us long before we had language for it. So many of us are searching for signs, direction, a map. We want clarity before we move. But what if the direction has always been within us? What if the compass isn’t out there—but in here? I speak about the stars that guide, the salt in our tears, and how being who we...

In this episode, I explore a realization that struck me recently: too many of us (myself included) are trying to solve mysteries that can only be solved by living. We live in a world that worships certainty—where overanalyzing becomes a stand-in for actual experience. But some answers don’t come through thinking. They come through embodiment. Through risk. Through choosing to live even when the pa...

In this episode, I explore one of the most tender truths of the creative path: what it means to keep showing up when it feels like no one sees you. From the quiet ache of invisibility to the internalized voices that tell us we’re not enough, this conversation is a reflection on the frustration that comes with pouring your truth into something beautiful—and hearing silence in return. I speak honest...

In this episode, I unravel one of the deepest lies we’ve been told: that success comes from being like everyone else. From hustle culture to productivity myths, we’ve been conditioned to believe that there’s only one way forward—constant motion, constant doing, constant pressure. I explore how this message has distorted our relationship with success, presence, and self-trust. And while I briefly r...

In this episode, I recount the experience of flying a plane, and what the experience taught me about fear, grief, and control. We dive into: ✔ What fear actually is—and why trying to “conquer” it can sometimes backfire. ✔ How flying a plane mirrored the parts of myself I am still trying to feel and understand. ✔The unexpected lessons that come when a breakthrough doesn’t arrive. ✔ Why coming up ag...

In this episode, I explore what it means to be truly seen —not just by others, but by ourselves. I reflect on my own experiences of feeling invisible in high school, and other times in my life, and the ways I’ve grown into someone who’s now able to hold that visibility, both the burden and the beauty of it. We dive into: ✔ Why being seen can feel both exhilarating and terrifying ✔ The parts of our...

Hey there, thanks for listening to [Insert Wisdom]! In this episode, I dive into the ever-elusive question: What is purpose? For years, I thought purpose had to be something big —a singular mission, a destiny. But over time, I’ve come to see it differently. Purpose isn’t just one thing—it’s the moments that light us up, the work we do on ourselves, and the way we transform darkness into light. ✔ T...

Hey there, thanks for listening to [Insert Wisdom]! In this episode, I reflect on the feeling of relief —what it means, how it finds us, and why we crave it. From the rain after the Los Angeles fires to the way writing gave me space to breathe, this is a meditation on pressure, urgency, and the quiet gift of letting go. * Relief isn’t just about what happens outside of us—it’s something we can cre...
