I’ve been wondering how we could each collectively wake the f*ck up to the basics of Love. You too?

So, I have a little story about a monk and a sandwich to share. But first, I’m going to unpack the definition of Common Sense and rant for a minute—because humanity’s Common Sense tank is running on empty, and our collective shadow is louder than ever.

In this episode:

• What Common Sense really means—and why Common Sense isn’t common
• The difference between wisdom and opinion (hint: wisdom includes everyone in the solution)
• Why we’re stuck in polarization—and how to move beyond “us vs. them” thinking
• The collective shadow is OURS, not theirs. We all scoop from the same pool.

What if losing something was actually the doorway to more? More clarity. More freedom. More YOU.

This week, we’re talking about how to stay sane in change, why simplicity is a spiritual practice, and how real Vision Building isn’t about clinging to one fixed outcome—it’s about aligning with the Divine and backing it up with Faith (and an ambitious timeline).

In this episode:

• What a renoviction is—and why it’s hitting my spiritual practice
• How to hold both resistance and excitement in change—the beliefs that help me stay sane when life shifts my plans
• What real Vision Building looks like (hint: it’s agile, spirit-backed, and way bigger than a vision board)
• The James Baldwin quote that’s guiding me through it all

I’m attempting to be useful in two ways today. BONUS.

1) Let’s talk about decision making, how to know when it’s right or wrong.
2) And how the ego loves to look good. And thus! how letting go of status concepts can be radically liberating and HEALING.

I once traded a status symbol (sexy Audi, FAST) for a soul symbol (pre-owned VW, FREE). Turns out, less status = more me. More LIFE.

In this episode:

• How the ego masks self-worth struggles with status symbols

• The surprising freedom in less (and why “downgrade to upgrade” is real)

• The three red flags that signal a misaligned decision

• A spiritual approach to right-sizing your life—beyond logic, beyond labels
