On Wayfinding & Circling in a World On fire
A note that I’m rebuilding my body of work…
This blog is a space for feminists, witches, and anti-capitalists who want more than Band-Aid solutions to their challenges and the challenges of our times. Here, you’ll find reflections and guidance from me on navigating this unprecedented fuckery from the lens of a Wayfinder Master Coach, (recovering) student of economics, and activist with street creds. You’ll also find reflections and guidance from a women’s circle facilitator—offered through a trauma-informed lens—on how to facilitate impactful circles. Posts are designed to support you in reclaiming agency in every area of your life, living in glorious alignment with who you truly are (while lovingly flipping exploitative systems the bird), and—in the case of circling-related posts—being of deep service to your communities.

Then & Now: Rape, Rage, & allyship
Trigger warning: I write about being raped (c. 1999) by one of my heroes, how I’m processing the decades-old rage I suppressed, and what’s coming up for me as I reflect on the ‘conditional allyship’ I received for staying (mostly) silent.
What Do We Do when Our World’s Burning to the Ground?
I don't need to tell you that we're undergoing a collective existential crisis. The world is (and has been) on fire, with POTUS & Co. adding a seemingly endless supply of accelerant. So what do we do? I have some thoughts.
I’m Freaking Livid, & it Actually Feels Quite Liberating
I'm fucking livid as I watch Trump burning our world to the ground. And there ain't no way in hell that I'm about to gaslight myself and the people who are bearing the brunt of his unhinged policies—namely (but not exclusively), people of color—by bypassing 'dark' emotions that bubble up when I witness atrocities.
On the Discomfort of Navigating Liminal Space
Upon wrapping up my training and becoming a certified Wayfinder Master Coach, I entered into a deeply uncomfortable liminal space. And as I moved through it, it became clear that I needed to let some things go.
Two Principles That Will Change Your World
Ownership and integrity. These two principles have the potential to transform your life in every - and I mean every - area. I encourage you to read this post from a place of openness and curiosity—of how it could relate to your circumstances.
Choosing Integrity Gave Me a Second Shot at Life
I remember the exact moment when integrity came knocking—it was when I was in my car after leaving my psychiatrist’s office (c. 1996), and I heard a voice that came from seemingly nowhere say "You are responsible for your own happiness." Whoa.

FREE: Your Guide to Navigating Change
A short, No-Frills PDF
The Wayfinder approach to navigating change is dependent on which phase of The Change Cycle you're in. This guide offers recommendations for moving through the different phases without dysregulating your system or (detrimentally) shortcutting the process. I use it in ‘the background’ when I work with clients, and so can you as you navigate change.

Wayfinding for Women Who've Had Enough
I’m a feminist and anti-capitalist who once—during a moment of weakness—paid a coach five figures in exchange for her coaching me to become so ‘magnetic’ that clients would flock to me and sign up for expensive coaching engagements. Unfortunately, her approach borrowed heavily from capitalism’s playbook and left me feeling so sickened and out of integrity that I quit her container early. A painful lesson learned.
I do things differently. The women I work with already reside at a higher level of consciousness and want their coaching Wayfinding to honor that. They aren’t here to 'win' at capitalism but to live life gloriously (however they define it!) on their own terms. To live in alignment with who they truly are. To stand in their power and reject the gaslit ‘American Dream.’ To take up radical space where it isn’t always welcomed. To liberate righteous anger while staying rooted in fierce love. To create. To remember. To be the change.
This is what Wayfinding looks like.
