Can you find exhale in the shit show

How to live and lead in these times...

I don’t know about you, but the first few days of this year have been landing differently for me than any other year of my life.

Slower. Quieter. Intentional and Zero pressure.

This was a unexpected EXHALE for the first time in my life..

While at the same time being informed, dropping into prayer and informing my audience about Venezula.

This contrast is proof that we can be living with one foot in the 5D, connected to the Sacred and moving at the pace of Mother Earth, while one foot remains rooted in the density of the 3D human experience — aka the collective shit show.

Moving my body, being in nature, and using ritual to move emotions through, alongside community support is how I ensure I’m not knocked out of my sovereignty and into despair.

Easier said than done, I know, but keep reading…

I’m not sure if you know this, but I’ve been living in Portugal since July of last year — often called the 5th empire~ “the holy grail.” Living here has helped in my massive shift from the hustle-and-grind slavery capitalism spell that living in America had me under.

During the winter months here in Europe, it’s been so much easier to naturally allow a matriarchal way of gentle living and being — attuning to the seasons, the winter solstice, over the calendar. I have been deep in my practice of what it really means to actually listen to the pulse of Mother Earth rhythm after my 2024-2025 year of deep grief and unraveling from the systems of oppression, domination and greed of living in the US and being apart of the coaching industry for a decade...

The first quarter of 2025 was a deep dive for me into the underworld.

I detached from the spiritual industrial complex.
Broke free from the greed-driven coaching cult.
Stepped away from friends and peers who center money, not God.

those living one life on Instagram and a completely different one behind the scenes. And could finally see the havoc the domination and colonizer supremacy spell had on me, my peers, life and country.

I let my old identity that was built on hustle, grind, non-stop launches, pursuit of more, and burning myself into the ground in the name of helping as many people as possible “leave them Matrix and “change the world”… die.

I was robbed of my entire life savings and retirement by my coach’s husband (who is now in prison ~ true story).

And I stopped complying with the smoke and mirrors of the high-ticket, greed-based pyramid schemes that much of the coaching and “spiritual” space is built on where how much you charge equals your worth, and you’re trapped in the “never enough” spell of clients, posts, programs, followers, and money in the bank.

The veil dropped hard.

I watched systems, beliefs, and relationships reveal what they truly served. And instead of pushing harder or scaling bigger, I chose to do the opposite.

I slowed way the fuck down and heal from the trauma of this industry that “made me.”

I mentored nine beautiful real women in a nine-month priestess coven, with the marys as my right hand guides and it was glorious. Exactly what my body, heart, soul, and nervous system needed. I let my productivity and revenue shrink dramatically so I could remember who I am and why God asked me to do this work in the first place.

It wasn’t a rebuild or rebrand.
It was a return to who the fuck I was before my peers convinced me I wasn’t doing enough, charging enough, making enough, buying enough, or that I’d be left behind. and a reminder to center what really matters. The sacred, children, life and GOD.

And maybe you can feel that type of exhaustion, struggle, burnt out, death, or veil drop truth bubbling within you too in your own way.

Maybe this year has you questioning IT ALL! Who you are, what you want, what matters, what you’re building, why? or who you’re building it with, or walking with and what or whom you’ve been unconsciously centering.

Work.
Money.
Men, Women, Everyone else. Trying to just Keep up.
While your true gifts, hearts calling and mission sit on the back burner.

Maybe you’re craving spaces and people that feel good for your nervous system ,real, true, easy, and human (aka HUMANE) again.


Being around people who care about more the health of the world than just talking about how to build a biz, make money or their own damn self.
A group of heart led beings who are all about non-performative spirituality.

If that’s you OR if you’re there right now, feeling like your life or realtionships as you know it are being stripped away, not knowing who or what’s real anymore or where to begin,

craving slower pace of life and creating

or for life not to be such a struggle bus and collective chaos to take your life force energy or have a hold on your mental health… I want you to know, you’re not alone.

This is the second stage of awakening. and it is not pretty. but we will prevail.

keep reading.

Over the past year, I’ve been creating a new way of gathering to support those like us — the real-ones who cry for palestine, grieve for the children feel deeply for the animals true and mother earth, those that choose to centers life and community first. and are praying for a new matriarchal way on this earth before its too late.

2025 for me was about been leading pilgrimages, offering intimate ceremony both locally and online, mentoring people and meeting them where they’re at — making my work more accessible, affordable, and rooted in the sacred first.

Let’s face it, y’all.

The Patriarchy is dying.

The feminine is exhausted.

High ticket is dead.

Lone-wolfing it, hustle, and burnout culture is out.

Community and the matriarchal way of doing life and biz is in!

And now, as we step into this new year, I’m opening something that feels like the natural next expression of that return for all of us. And on our last live gathering on 12.31, the community asked for it and confirmed its time.

✨ Coven ✨

A community of real-ones ready to do life together and co-create New Earth the matriarchal-led way.

A affordable place to gather monthly in intentional, non-performative ceremony.

A heart-based tribe that stays connected in real, non-surface-level conversations — that learns how to share their gifts, recieve and support one another, and re-learn the true meaning of community, ritual, and spirituality, without hierarchy, performance, domination or hustle.

Inside Coven, we:
• Sit in honest, embodied heart-led conversations
• Celebrate holy days and changes of seasons together
• Are witnessed and held through transitions internally and within the collective
• Collaborate, reflect, and remember what actually matters
• Re-learn how to be in community and lead from circles, not pyramids

and learn to MOVE IT THROUGH US—-and STAY SOVEREIGN

There will also be a private, free-will group space (Telegram or WhatsApp) so connection doesn’t end when the ceremony does.

In coven, you will be poured into and also to show up for others (which is true abundance).
you will no longer feel alone.
You will be shoulder to shoulder with those who get it and don’t call you crazy — or a conspiracy theorist.

Coven will be an anchor to stay rooted, and accountable to your spiritual and sovereignty practice.

So that you can remain sovereign and grounded during wild times and not get lost in the collective and matrix fear or despair spells.

And continue to hold the torc, lead and show up for your family, friends, clients, children, and community in a good way.

In Coven, you will never forget… no matter what it looks like out there. Community will anchor you into the remembering that there is a new way rising and forming.

And we will keep pounding the drum until we wake the world up and co-create this New Earth into reality. Together.

Monthly ceremony spaces are imperative for those of us who hold a lot, feel even more, struggle to make time for ourselves, to receive or create the time to the sacred, let alone intentional ritual monthly.

Coven is the place we offer it up, leave it at the alter, in reverence.

We name. We pray. We let go, We breath, we ritual, we heal, we cleanse our field and stay energetically sovereign.

If your body softened reading this…
If you’ve been craving a slower, embodied way of life and your soul is tapping you find a new community…
Especially if you know you don’t want to do life or what is coming alone…

Coven may be for you.
