Hi, beautiful humans,
I haven’t checked in here since last year, and wow—everything has changed since then. Not just on a personal level, but collectively, it feels like we entered a new timeline in 2025. Some would say we’ve stepped into the worst timeline possible (and I can see why), but words are spells, and I refuse to claim that as my truth.
I don’t mean that in an “I don’t care what’s going on in the world” kind of way. On the contrary, I’m hyperaware of the anxiety and outright terror gripping the hearts and minds of millions right now. I’ve simply chosen to lean into my inner power and hope—not just as a means of self-preservation, but also to create spaces where I can pass that hope along to others.
Throughout the journey of writing The Bounce Back, I’ve essentially outlined a collection of thoughts and reflections as I navigated my way out of my “flop era” over the past year and a half. Along the way, I committed to growth and surrendering to the process because I was anchored in a vision of my life—a future where all the hard work would be worth it.
After all, why bother striving for more if we believe we’re doomed to stay stuck in perpetual “flop era” cycles? Even worse, how do we recover when corrupt governments try to convince us that we have no future to look forward to? Once they infiltrate your heart and soul at that level, I imagine it becomes incredibly difficult to bounce back.
But the more I sat with my resistance to the direction life was pointing me in, the clearer it became that I was standing in my own way.
I’m not willing to take that risk. I refuse to let them infiltrate the part of my mind that envisions a better reality—for myself and for all of us. They can’t have that.
On a personal note, I’ve been reconnecting with a very familiar feeling—the one that starts to rise when you sense a big life change on the horizon.
I elaborated a bit more about this in this reel. ^^^^

The decision I’ve come to is one I always swore I would NEVER make. But the more I sat with my resistance to the direction life was pointing me in, the clearer it became that I was standing in my own way.
More importantly, I’ve realized how much we transform throughout the journey of bouncing back. Maybe there will come a time when the old you said, “I will never __________,” but for the new you, that decision actually makes perfect sense.
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. The decision I’ve made is that…
