if you're not sure where to start...
…or where to click, what to do, where to go… fear not. We’re used to being led down a path on a website – problem identified, then solution pointed to, and then your manipulated into buying the solution by having your nervous system activated.
If you’re noticing the absence of all of that, and feeling lost: that’s exactly my intention.
Let me explain…
I remember the day I finally said “enough.”
Enough of the marketing funnels designed to trigger pain. Enough of the carefully crafted headlines meant to manipulate. Enough of reducing myself to a two-dimensional solution for someone else’s problem.
For years, I followed the formula. Build the perfect homepage. Push on pain points. Offer hope wrapped in urgency. Close the sale. Again and again and again, until my spirit felt as flat as the pages I was creating.
But here’s what I know in my bones: You are not a bundle of problems to be solved. You are not a challenge to be fixed. You are a human being, vast and complex, carrying entire universes within your heart.
The Digital Wilderness We Navigate
Perhaps you’ve felt it too – that quiet exhaustion from being constantly marketed to. The subtle anxiety that rises when another countdown timer appears, urging you to “act now before it’s too late.” The FOMO from highly valued and coveted “bonus” material you’ll miss out on if you don’t sign up before an early-bird deadline. The strange hollowness that comes from being seen – not as a complete human being – but as a collection of pain points and problems waiting for solutions.
Our digital landscapes have become increasingly transactional. We’re taught to expect instant gratification, quick fixes, and miraculous transformations – all available with just one more purchase, one more program, one more perfect solution.
You and I have both done it. “This program sounds perfect – I really think this one might help me finally break through what’s in my way!” (You’ve never said that, right? 👀)
And yet, something in you knows there must be another way. Something in you recognizes that the deepest treasures of life – wisdom, connection, presence – cannot be packaged into a seven-module course with three fast-action bonuses.
That recognition, that quiet knowing – that’s what brought you here.
Discovering the Unmarked Path
And so I choose to build something different. Something truer. Something that reflects the actual infinity of who we are. (see what I did there?)
Imagine, if you will, discovering an unmarked path leading away from the noise and notifications of the digital world. As you follow it, the familiar landmarks of the internet begin to fade. There are no countdown timers here. No tracking pixels monitoring your moves. No artificial scarcity designed to make you rush.
Your nervous system begins to settle without the pressure. For the first time in a long time, you actually feel a sense of peace…almost serenity. Your cadence slows and you realize that there’s so much room to actually linger here. You can’t remember you felt the spaciousness in your body that allowed you to linger.
You find yourself entering a realm – what I call the realm of Madness (←that’s me) – where the landscape shifts and changes like a living thing. Here, presence flows like rivers cutting through ancient stone. Here, Love rises like mountains against the sky. Here, possibility stretches across plains as far as the eye can see.
This is not merely a website. This is a territory of the heart, mapped in pixels and prose. Every path you might choose to walk reflects some facet of the human experience – from the sunlit meadows of joy to the deep forests of transformation, from the quiet pools of reflection to the storm-swept cliffs of change.
Three Circles of Connection
Your journey in this realm can unfold in three ever-deepening circles of presence and connection.
First, there is the open land – the vast territory of my online presence, where you’re free to wander and discover. Like a traveler in a new country, you might find yourself drawn to whatever catches your eye: an article that glimmers like sunlight on water, a podcast that rises before you like an unexpected mountain peak, a video that unfolds like a flower in spring.
Second, if something here calls to your heart, you might choose to venture into The Village – our community space where kindred spirits gather. Here, we share stories around digital firesides. We gently practice how to be in Loving Presence, even if it’s in the face of suffering and pressure and chaos. We break bread made of wisdom and experience. Here, we remember what it means to truly, lovingly, belong.
And third, for those seeking the deepest work – those ready to sit with the mysteries of their own hearts – my home stands open. Through one-on-one coaching or intimate group experiences, we tend the sacred fires of presence together. We dive beneath the surface solutions to touch the roots of lasting change.
When the Path Seems Uncertain
I know that walking this unmarked path can feel disorienting. There’s comfort in the familiar formulas, even when they don’t truly serve us. There’s safety in being told exactly where to click, what to buy, how to proceed.
You might find yourself wondering: Is this real? Can business actually be conducted this way? Am I allowed to simply explore, to follow my curiosity, to trust the wisdom of my own heart?
The algorithms have trained us well. Our nervous systems have adapted to constant stimulation, to urgent calls-to-action, to the dopamine hits of quick consumption. When we step away from that pattern, we might feel momentarily lost – like travelers whose maps no longer match the territory.
In those moments of uncertainty, you might feel the pull to return to the familiar. To seek out clear answers, defined pathways, guaranteed outcomes. You might wonder if this gentle approach can possibly be effective in a world that values speed, certainty, and measurable results.
I’ve felt those doubts too. I’ve questioned whether this different way of being could sustain not just my spirit, but my livelihood. I’ve wondered if people would understand, if they would value, if they would stay. Fuck, there are nights I lie awake wondering if I’m just deluding myself, if I’m simply not cut out for the reality of business in this digital age. If perhaps I should just surrender to the game everyone says I should be playing and rake in some cash money!
The fear of irrelevance. The anxiety of financial instability. The deep question of whether I can truly embody what I teach when the pressures mount. These are the shadows we must face when we choose to walk a different path.
The Return to Wholeness
But here’s what I believe and am experiencing on this journey:
When we create spaces that honor the whole human being – not just their problems or their purchasing power – something profound happens. People don’t just visit; they inhabit. They don’t just consume; they contribute. They don’t just take what they need and leave; they become part of the living ecosystem.
This is not the way business “should” be done. But perhaps that’s exactly why it feels so right. Perhaps that’s exactly why you’re still reading these words, feeling something stir in your heart – a recognition, a remembering, a coming home to a way of being that honors all of who you are.
I am taking a stand here – not just for myself, but for every heart that knows there must be a different way.
And yes… this is my business and I am offering services to help me pay my bills… I can assure you… this is not an effective way to build a business because it confronts every pattern we’ve been conditioned to follow. So, my business seems to fall into the silent void amidst the very loud chaotic cacophony of late state capitalism.
Yet in this surrender to a deeper truth, I’ve found something beyond the metrics and conversion rates. I’ve found my way back to myself. Back to why I started this work in the first place. Back to the awareness that underlies all experience – the loving awareness that both you and I fundamentally are.
Regardless of the financial outcome… In a world that demands we package ourselves into neat, marketable boxes, I choose expansion. In a marketplace that says “niche down,” I say “rise up.” Rise up into the fullness of who you are. Rise up into the complexity of your gifts. Rise up into the truth that we are not here to be consumed, but to be lovingly lived and received.
The typical online business model says: Find their pain. Twist the knife. Offer the bandage. Make the sale.
But what if our pain isn’t something to be exploited? What if our challenges aren’t merely problems to be fixed, but gateways to deeper understanding? What if the very thing we think we need to “solve” is actually inviting us into a more authentic relationship with ourselves and the world around us?
An Invitation to Remember
And so I extend this invitation:
Breathe with me for a moment.
Feel your feet on the ground, your breath in your body. Notice how radical it feels to simply pause in this rushing digital world.
Come wander in this realm of Madness – this place where business meets soul, where metrics meet mystery, where digital landscapes become territory for transformation.
You cannot get this wrong. There is no wrong way to explore. No wrong path to take. No wrong door to open.
If you find yourself drawn to stay connected, my weekly Heart Notes will arrive like postcards from this realm, bringing whispers of wisdom and windows into possibility. If you feel called to gather with others, The Village welcomes you. If you sense it’s time for deeper work, my home and heart stand open.
But whatever you choose, know this:
You are welcome here in your entirety – your confusion and your clarity, your wounds and your wisdom, your struggles and your strengths. All of you belongs. All of you is welcome. All of you is needed for the journey ahead.
I believe in you!
Why?
Because I believe in Love… and that is what you’re made of.
This is not just my realm – it is a mirror for the realm within your own heart. A reminder of what’s possible when we refuse to be reduced. When we dare to do business differently. When we remember that we are not here merely to consume or be consumed, but to connect, to be present, to rise.
Welcome to the Realm of Madness.
Welcome to a different way of being.
Welcome home.
