NOTE THIS WAS WRITTEN EARLY FEBRUARY AND I THOUGHT I HAD POSTED IT BUT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE AND IT'S STILL RELEVANT


Dreams: A Journey Through Time, Spirit, and Consciousness


In light of Martin Luther King Jr. Day this week, I’ve been reflecting on the profound concept of dreams. While Dr. King’s iconic “I Have a Dream” speech has shaped history, this post isn’t about that dream—it’s about dreams in their many forms. Since the beginning of time, I’ve been a dreamer, and dreaming was the first gift I discovered upon arriving on the earthly plane.


Over the years, I’ve unraveled layers of my ancestry, lineage, and spirit, often guided by dreams and the unseen realms. My nana, my mother’s mother, was also a dreamer. Recently, I discovered that she kept journals of her dreams throughout her life. Dreams have been a bridge between these realms, offering me insights, guidance, and connections that have shaped my life.


The Grand Canyon: A Portal of Dreaming


Years ago, during a December full supermoon, I traveled to the Grand Canyon with a dear friend. It was an impromptu journey that turned into an unforgettable spiritual experience. The land’s energy was palpable, and everything felt aligned, from the sunset to the unexpected upgrade of our hotel room.


While exploring a museum at the canyon, I felt a powerful pull to collect some driftwood—a practice I now realize connects to ancestral ties. Little did I know then that the Mojave Tribe, whose dreams shaped their spiritual and cultural practices, once called this area along the Colorado River home. Through a divination reading in the following years with my cousin, I learned about a spirit guide from the Mojave Tribe, who has walked with me in every reincarnation. I wondered if I was a part of their family in a past incarnation. When my cousin revealed my guide, everything clicked. The sticks I had collected, the spiritual pull of the canyon, and my dreams all wove together of ancestral connection.


The Mojave people honored dreams as sacred, using them to guide their leaders, medicine people, and communities. Their ceremonies included singing cycles of dreamed songs that retold myths and journeys, reinforcing their identity and spiritual strength. Learning about their practices illuminated why dreams have always felt like a cornerstone of my own spiritual path.


The sky transformed into a breathtaking masterpiece as the sun set over the canyon. My friend and I shared a joint, reminiscing about our college years and spiritual journeys, while the horizon reflected the moon's ascent.


When the moon rose, it was enormous—so close that I felt I could reach out and touch it. The air felt heavy, like the moon’s energy was pressing down on everything. Later that evening, back at the hotel, I realized I couldn’t sleep. My chest felt weighed down, and the cannabis still in my system heightened the sensation. It wasn’t an anxious feeling, but it was intense—like I was caught in the moon's gravitational pull.


This experience was entirely new for me. I had always appreciated cannabis as a companion for relaxation or heightened clarity, but that night was different. The combination of the moon’s immense presence and cannabis’s lingering effects felt overwhelming, as if my body and spirit were struggling to settle under such powerful forces.

Cannabis and Dreamwork: A Complicated Relationship


Cannabis entered my life during college. My first experience was lighthearted but ineffective—I didn’t even know how to inhale properly! Over time, I developed a relationship with cannabis that was both beautiful and challenging.


Initially, cannabis felt like a tool for relaxation and creativity, but as my spiritual journey deepened, I noticed how it began to interfere with my dreams. Sativa strains heightened my anxiety, and even indica-forward hybrids clouded my mind, creating a fog that dulled my ability to receive clear messages through dreams.


When the pandemic forced us into isolation, many of us turned to substances to cope. I realized that while cannabis has its place in ritual and introspection, it required mindfulness and moderation to avoid hindering my spiritual gifts.


Cannabis in Shamanic Practices


Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that predates organized religions and spans cultures worldwide. At its core, it is about connection—between the physical and spiritual realms, the self and the collective, the human and the divine. Shamans serve as intermediaries, navigating unseen dimensions to heal, guide, and retrieve wisdom for their communities.


The word "shaman" comes from the Tungus people of Siberia, but similar practices exist across continents: the Sangomas of South Africa, the Curanderos of Central America, and the medicine people of Native American tribes. What unites these traditions is the belief that all beings are interconnected and that the spirit world holds answers to our earthly dilemmas.


One of the most powerful tools in shamanic work is the altered state of consciousness, achieved through drumming, chanting, breathwork, fasting, and the sacred use of psychoactive plants. These states allow shamans to journey into the "Otherworld," encountering spirit allies, ancestors, and archetypal energies. Herbs were selected and used with intention; their properties were carefully matched to the purpose of the ritual or healing. Each herb carried unique energetic qualities and was chosen not only for its practical effects but also for its symbolic and spiritual resonance.


Dreams hold a unique place in shamanic traditions. They are seen not as random neural firings but as messages from the divine. Many indigenous cultures view dreaming as a practice in itself—a skill to be cultivated and honored. For the Mojave Tribe, dreaming was central to their leadership and medicine practices. Leaders were often chosen based on the clarity and depth of their dreams, which were considered a direct line to divine guidance.


Cannabis has been revered in many spiritual traditions for its ability to bridge the physical and spiritual realms. In shamanic practices, it’s used to expand consciousness, connect with spirit guides, and access visionary states. When approached with reverence, cannabis can enhance spiritual rituals, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all tool. In no way I'm saying what has worked for others will work for you.


If you’re considering incorporating cannabis into your spiritual work, intentionality is key:

  • Choose the Right Strain: Sativas can energize and uplift, while Indica support relaxation and introspection.

  • Set an Intention: Approach cannabis as a sacred tool, not a recreational escape.

  • Dose Mindfully: Start small and listen to your body to find the right balance.

Herbs for Dreaming and Rituals

Some herbs enhance dreaming, while others create protection or ground the practitioner during rituals.


Herbs for Dreaming

  1. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris): Known as the "dream herb," mugwort enhances lucid dreaming and facilitates journeying. Burn it as incense or brew it into a tea before bedtime.

  2. Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea):  This flower induces euphoria and vivid dreams, often used in sacred rites to connect with the divine.

  3. Valerian Root: While primarily known for relaxation, valerian can deepen sleep and make dream recall sharper.

  4. Calea Zacatechichi ("Dream Herb"): A favorite of the Chontal people of Mexico, this herb enhances dream clarity and provides profound visions.

  5. Yarrow was commonly used to stop bleeding and for protection against negative spiritual influences.

Herbs for Ritual Work

  1. Frankincense and Myrrh: These resins, burned during ceremonies, purify the space and raise spiritual vibrations.

  2. Hyssop: Used for cleansing and protection, hyssop helps release spiritual blockages.

  3. Rue: A powerful protector, rue wards off negative energies and enhances spiritual vision.

  4. Bay leaves were often burned to amplify intuition and aid in receiving prophetic dreams

  5. Juniper was burned to create a protective barrier during ceremonies.

  6. Sage was burned to cleanse the energy field and purify spaces.

Ritual Offerings

Herbs were offered to the spirits of the land, ancestors, or deities as part of ceremonies.

  1. Tobacco is a universal offering in many indigenous traditions, symbolizing respect and connection.

  2. Cornmeal and herbal bundles were laid on altars or sprinkled in sacred spaces as acts of gratitude and reverence.


Dreaming as a Sacred Gift


I no longer bring flowers into my home, and I’ve significantly reduced how often I smoke. I’ve experimented with edibles but learned that keeping them in my system interferes with my dream work. Rarely do I smoke and sip tea at sunrise, meditating to receive a download. However, through conversations with other medicine women, I’ve heard mixed experiences: some have felt mounted by spirits during their cannabis journey, while others have received their most profound downloads.


Dreams have always been my portal to understanding the world beyond the veil. They’ve connected me to my ancestry, offered warnings and blessings, and illuminated paths I didn’t even know existed. Whether enhanced by cannabis, strengthened by ancestral ties, or honored as they come, dreams remain one of the most profound ways to connect with the divine. Let’s celebrate the power of dreams—not just as a vision for a better future but as a sacred gift that ties us to our past, our present, and the vast mysteries of the universe.


What are your dreams trying to tell you?

When I was just coming up to my 26th birthday, I befriended someone already deep in their Saturn return. At that time, I wasn’t as well-versed in astrology as I am now. She projected so much fear onto my own approaching Saturn return because hers had been traumatic. I hated it. If you know me, and you haven't yet experienced your Saturn return, you know I don’t lean into fear when discussing it. Quite the opposite, actually—I remind people, especially those already doing the work, that they will navigate it well as long as they sharpen their discernment and recognize their lessons the first time. Take it from me! Don’t touch the hot stove three times!


This friend endured so many hardships that weren’t necessary. Then, I entered a relationship with someone who had a Scorpio stellium. When he turned 33 and I was 28, I noticed his experience mirrored my friend’s, who was also approaching her 33rd birthday. Both of them were being dragged through the mud—it was painful to witness. But they also kept putting their hands on the fire repeatedly, refusing to learn the lessons. I later realized it was no coincidence that I experienced them both at the same time. There was something significant about the magic of 33, and that’s when I became obsessed with researching why.


During the lockdown, I had ample time, and I chose to deepen my astrology studies. My entire Saturn return unfolded while I lived with my grandparents. If you’ve listened to my most recent podcast episodes about Brazil, you may remember my story about being evicted from my house and losing my job on the same day—it happened right at 27. None of it was my fault, so I flowed with the change rather than resisting it. Because of that patience, I was rewarded. It was a challenging time, but looking back, I realize it prepared me for what lay ahead—especially the pivotal transition at 33.


When I turned 31, I reflected on that time and on what I had witnessed with those two people. I wondered how my own 30s would unfold, especially during a period of unpredictable, rapid change. I learned about my own stellium and how others could serve as mirrors for self-discovery. Stelliums hold immense influence, depending on their placement. While my ex’s stellium was in Scorpio, mine was in Capricorn, concentrated in the outer planets. Outer planets move slowly—some take up to 20 years to transition signs and over a century to complete a full return.



ree


WHAT IS A STELLIUM?


A stellium occurs when three or more planets are clustered in the same zodiac sign or house, creating a heightened focus on that area of life. This concentration of planetary energy amplifies the traits and themes associated with the sign. For example, a Capricorn stellium—especially one involving outer planets like Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn—manifests as a strong drive for discipline, ambition, and structure. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of time, responsibility, and long-term growth, meaning individuals with this stellium often feel an inherent pressure to achieve, build legacy, and master patience. However, this placement can also create intense challenges, particularly around self-worth and the burden of societal expectations. Capricorn stellium natives may experience recurring lessons in resilience, boundaries, and redefining success on their own terms. The Saturn square in the mid-30s acts as a pivotal moment for those with a Capricorn stellium, testing their foundation and pushing them toward either transformation or stagnation.


SATURN SQUARE


ree


A Saturn square is a major astrological transit that happens in your mid-30s—usually between ages 33 and 36—when Saturn forms a 90-degree angle (a square) to where it was when you were born. It’s often called a “mini Saturn return” because it echoes similar themes, but in many ways, it can hit even harder.


Think of it like this: your Saturn return (around 27-31) was the first big wake-up call, pushing you into real adulthood. You probably had to face hard truths about your career, relationships, and personal patterns. Then, you spend a couple of years adjusting, trying to build on what you learned. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out—boom, here comes the Saturn square. It’s like a test to see if you really learned your lessons or if you’re still making the same mistakes.


WHY DOES IT FEEL STRONGER THAN A SATURN'S RETURN?


Even though it’s called a “mini” Saturn return, the Saturn square can feel even more intense for a few reasons:

  1. It’s Less Talked About – People hype up the Saturn return, but no one warns you about the Saturn square. It can catch you off guard because you’re not expecting another shake-up so soon. HA!

  2. The Stakes Are Higher – By 33-36, you’re no longer in your "figuring it out" phase—you’re supposed to be building stability. If you’re still stuck in cycles of self-sabotage, toxic relationships, or a career that drains you, Saturn is not going to let you ignore it anymore. Some of us escape the lessons of our Saturn's Return, but Saturn's Square never forgets.

  3. It Demands Action – Unlike your Saturn return, which is about realization and change, the Saturn square is about application. It asks: Did you actually grow, or are you just going in circles? If you didn’t fully handle your Saturn return lessons, this transit will force you to face them.


Many people are still integrating their Saturn return as they approach 30 or 31. While Saturn returns occur approximately every 30 years—first between 27 and 31, again around 60, and once more at 90—each return serves a unique purpose. The first Saturn return is a rite of passage, marking the transition into true adulthood. It’s a period of serious reflection, requiring us to reassess past choices, address childhood wounds, and solidify the direction of our careers and relationships.


After the Saturn return, there’s a crucial one-to-two-year period of adjustment. This is when people move, change jobs, enter or leave long-term relationships, and settle into their post-Saturn return reality. Then comes age 33—the next major milestone.


HOW TO OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES OF SATURN'S SQUARE


This transit isn’t about punishment—it’s about refining your foundation so you don’t keep repeating old patterns. Here’s how to navigate it with grace:


  • Be honest with yourself. This is a time to recognize what’s not working and stop making excuses. If something feels like it's breaking down, it’s probably not meant to last.

  • Let go of what no longer serves you. If a job, relationship, or belief system isn’t aligned with who you are now, Saturn will push you to release it—and the sooner you do, the smoother things will go.

  • Seek wisdom from elders. The best advice often comes from people who have already been through this phase. They can offer perspective on what really matters. Though eldership is important during life in general. It's even more important if you are a healer or practitioner, I say this because this time can really trip you up if your aren't careful and aware. Like this article mentions- Saturn Square is ALL mental and it will challenge every emotion and thought.

  • Tend to your soil. Instead of clinging to the past, focus on what you want to build moving forward. Think of this time as pulling weeds so new growth can flourish. I can't say this enough-BATHS, BATHS, BATHS! Be sure to keep the Ori clean so your mind is clear and fed with good food; books, affirmations, music, movement, meditation,etc.

  • Trust the process. The lessons of your Saturn square are not here to break you—they’re here to level you up. It wasn't until I wrote this post that I'm always remind how patient I have to be. Patience doesn't mean I'm not participating and just not doing what I can to grow. But something my Saturn's Return taught me was how to lean into the movement and not go against the tides when they are high. Being patient unlocked abundance in ways had I been busy and all over the place; I'd probably missed them.


By the time you come out of this transit (usually around 36), you’ll feel like you’ve reclaimed your power in a way you never have before. This is when people make their greatest comebacks, start the most aligned careers, and enter the healthiest relationships of their lives. Chile, one more year and I'm in the clear, my heart goes out to all those in the swing with me!


IMPORTANT NOTE FROM OUR NODAL PLACEMENTS


I know, I know- after ALL that, the last thing you want to hear is about another planetary shift in the stars. But, it would be a crime for me NOT to mention this component. During this age, we also experience our second North Node returns; the first takes place during ages 18-19.


The Second North Node Return is a powerful checkpoint in your life’s journey, happening around ages 36-38 when the transiting North Node returns to the exact placement it was in at your birth. The North Node represents your soul’s purpose, the lessons you’re here to embrace, while the South Node is your comfort zone—the skills and patterns you’ve mastered in past lifetimes but must evolve beyond. Right now, the North Node is moving through Pisces (with the South Node in Virgo), calling for deep spiritual surrender, creative flow, and faith over logic. For those of us with strong Virgo or Pisces placements, this transit is pulling us toward balance—letting go of perfectionism (Virgo South Node) and embracing intuition, artistry, and trust (Pisces North Node). The Saturn square happening in this same period only amplifies this shift, forcing us to break outdated structures and realign with our soul’s mission. If you’ve been feeling the call to pivot careers, step into a leadership role, or fully embrace your gifts, your North Node Return is activating that path. This is a time when the universe sends clear signs—opportunities may appear that feel like destiny, but only if you’re open to receiving them. It’s an invitation, a gift, to fully step into the life you were meant to lead.



MY TRUTHS FROM MY 30'S


Now at 34, approaching 35, I can confidently say—yes, my hypothesis was correct. My 33rd year was beautiful—my "Jesus Year." In India, 33 is considered a sacred number, a significant life stage. I embraced that attitude throughout 33, and it truly blessed me. I try not to approach astrology with fear, but rather with gratitude for the lessons these ages bring.


Age 33 is a "10th house year." In astrology, the 10th house governs career, public image, and life direction. This year marks the peak of a 12-year cycle that began at 24. The technique of annual profections teaches that each year, our ascendant shifts into a new house, influencing different areas of life. The 10th house year at 33 brings career-defining moments, major public shifts, and a sense of culmination.


At 33, I enrolled in an entrepreneurship program in Chicago. I turned 33 in the middle of the program, and it was a powerful moment of clarity—I finally understood my mission here on Earth. Everything aligned divinely.


While 33 opened me up, 34 completely fleshed me out. It burned away the illusions I had mistaken for stability. I have a planetary AND house stellium, double WHAMMY! It forced me to confront the overwatered parts of my garden—areas where I had been pouring too much energy, turning the soil to mush, making it impossible to build a solid foundation. It made me focus on the neglected areas, the ones that weren’t growing, even though they were right before my eyes.


Now, on the verge of 35, I have simply shifted my perspective. I smell fresh soil. I see sunlight touching the parts of my garden I once ignored because I was too fixated on what wasn’t thriving. I had to stop victimizing myself—a pattern I had observed in others struggling through this age range. I took notes from those who remained stagnant, bitter, and engulfed in self-pity, and I studied the ones who used this period to rise stronger. 34 got dark fast, but elders and my ATR community played a crucial role in guiding me back. It took wise Black women pulling at my heartstrings to speak life into me.


One elder told me to let my seeds fall—to spread my arms wide and release control over where they land. She assured me I’d be surprised by what sprouts when I finally open my eyes. Some seeds are outdated, no longer meant to grow. That’s okay. 34 is the age to tend to the soil, to reassess what’s worth cultivating. I believe these years are even more crucial than a Saturn return. This is the stage where people either break or rise from the ashes. It’s when I’ve seen the greatest comeback stories unfold.


This is why I say—don’t be afraid of this phase. Embrace it. Learn from those who have gone through it before you. Recognize the patterns. Tend to your soil. Let go of outdated seeds. And most importantly, keep your eyes open to the blessings that come when you lean into growth rather than fear.


THE LAST WORD


Here’s the thing—you don’t have to go through it alone. Depending on your birth chart, this could also be your first major Pluto transit, bringing deep transformation, resurfaced trauma, or even a complete identity shift. If you’re feeling like everything is unraveling, you’re not imagining it—you’re in the thick of a rebirth. In my experience, this is when even the most independent people finally seek support. And that’s a good thing. Therapy, spiritual guidance, and community are essential during this time.


So ask yourself: Who are the people in your life who truly understand what you’re going through? Are you surrounding yourself with those who can hold space for your evolution, or are you clinging to relationships that keep you stuck? Building a solid community of like-minded souls—people who have also faced Saturn’s hard truths—can make all the difference.



Ya'll already know I love a good playlist as a soundtrack to life transitions so this is something I created not too long ago for myself moving through the waves. Hope it serves someone else out there. Take care fam.

Breaking Free from the Obsession with "How"


We live in a world that’s obsessed with the question: How? How will I get from here to there? How will I make my dreams come true? How will I afford this, achieve that, or make it all work? For many of us—especially those with Virgo energy—how becomes an all-consuming loop, a question that never stops spinning in our minds.


But what if our obsession with how is getting in the way of what we truly want? What if, instead of constantly strategizing, we started with why?


A thought-provoking article I read really hit home on this. It said, “The best balance between personal development and self-acceptance is crucial. Too much focus on either one can lead to less-than-ideal results. If you focus only on personal growth, you lose sight of the present. And if you focus only on accepting yourself, you miss out on growing for the future.” This made me realize: improvement shouldn’t come at the expense of enjoying the present. But on the flip side, we need growth to be prepared for the future. It’s all about balance—being engaged, but not overwhelmed by an endless chase.


The Problem with "How" Thinking


For years, self-help gurus and motivational speakers have told us to stop asking why and start asking how. The intention was to move us out of stagnation, but we’ve now become hyper-focused on execution, disconnected from our deeper motivations. We get caught up in the details, map out every step, but lose sight of what really matters.


The result? Anxiety. Over-planning. Creative blocks. The feeling of being stuck even when we’re “doing all the things.”


This constant pressure to improve can feel like a requirement, not a choice. It leads to burnout and a never-ending cycle of not being enough.


For Black people, this pressure can feel even more intense. Historically, we haven’t always had the luxury of autonomy or the freedom to just “be.” Today, the pressure is compounded by a society that demands we always be evolving, often out of necessity rather than desire. It’s exhausting.


In his critique of modern self-improvement culture, Danish professor Svend Brinkmann talks about the dangers of “self-optimization.” While personal growth is valuable, he argues that we’ve become so obsessed with refining ourselves that we forget to live in the moment. We get caught in an endless loop of self-analysis, always feeling like we need to improve before we can truly live.


This obsession with betterment can also strain our relationships and interactions with society. Instead of addressing systemic issues, we often focus on “fixing” ourselves. For example, rather than pushing for a healthier work environment, we turn to stress management techniques. Instead of questioning social structures, we might embrace wellness trends in hopes of fitting in. In doing so, we become passive participants in our own lives.


Recently, I sat at my Boveda, praying and reflecting on how I view myself. In that moment, I pulled the Eight of Cups from my tarot deck. At first, I didn’t understand, but as I sat with it, the message became clear. "The Eight of Cups is about walking away from what no longer serves you and seeking something deeper—fulfillment, emotional growth, and spiritual evolution." It reminded me that not everything is worth the transformation process. Some things are meant to be left behind.


Self-worth isn’t about constantly pushing for improvement but knowing when to step away. "Letting go without guilt—recognizing that leaving situations, people, or mindsets that no longer align with you is an act of self-love, not failure." Sometimes, forcing ourselves to fit into spaces that no longer serve us does more harm than good.


Why "Why" Matters More Than "How"


Instead of obsessing over how things will happen, let’s take a step back and ask:

  • Why do you want this so badly?

  • Why does this path call to you?

  • Why are you making these choices for yourself?


When we start with why, we reconnect with our intuition. We remember what’s truly driving us. Instead of forcing things to happen, we allow them to unfold naturally in alignment with our deepest desires.

Asking why doesn’t mean ignoring how. It just means we’re not so caught up in the mechanics that we forget the meaning behind what we’re doing.


I’ll admit, I’m exhausted by the constant pressure to show up as my best self every day. I don’t always feel great about everything going on, and I suspect that’s partly because, as a “healer,” I’ve fallen for the notion that I always have to improve—be more positive, more efficient, more accomplished. Society tells us to grind harder today for a better tomorrow, but what if today is enough?


This isn’t to say ambition is wrong. In fact, striving for something meaningful is an essential part of the human experience. There’s real joy in mastering a craft and looking back to see how far we’ve come. But how do we learn to appreciate the slower moments? How can we find fulfillment in rest, in being present, without equating our worth with productivity?


Finding balance is key. It’s an art—knowing when to push and when to let go. We need to step beyond the constant pursuit of self-improvement and ask: What does life mean outside of the chase? Life isn’t just about accomplishing things—it’s about how we experience them.


Living Outside of "How"


When we focus on why, we often find a more straightforward path forward, for example, let’s say you feel lonely and want to meet new people in your city. The how is easy: go to a Monday Night Music Bingo event at a cool spot in your neighborhood- you love music and who doesn’t like some good ol bingo? Not as much stress as a party but enough to be social and with others having a good time. That’s it. Don’t get stuck on all the other “hows”: How will I approach people? Will they be friendly? What if no one talks to me? How will I feel if I’m alone?


These questions are anxiety in disguise. They’re distractions from your why, which is to meet new people and enjoy the experience. Focusing too much on how often deflects us from the real work of inner reflection.



ree


Reframing Your Thinking


So how do we shift back to why?

  • Start with a gut check: Before planning your next move, ask yourself why you want this. If the answer feels shaky or rooted in external validation, reconsider. If you’re on the spiritual side of things-talk to your Egun. Converse with spirit, divine, God. However you see fit. Sometimes things make more sense when we speak aloud. 

  • Practice surrender: Trust that once you're clear on your why, the how will reveal itself naturally. Creativity and intuition thrive in spaces of trust, not control.

  • Notice distractions: Are you spiraling in logistics instead of taking inspired action? If so, it’s time to reconnect with your original intention.

  • Embrace uncertainty: Magic happens when we let go of the need to control every detail. When we stop gripping so tightly to how, we create space for new, unexpected possibilities.


Final Thoughts


We’ve been conditioned to believe that success lies in perfect planning. But the truth is, success lies in alignment. You don’t need to control every step—you just need to know your why.


If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, it might not be because you don’t know how—it might be because you’ve lost touch with your why.


So, today, instead of asking how, sit with why. See where it leads you. You might be surprised by what unfolds when you stop forcing things and start flowing.
