What does it mean to pave your own path?
Welcoming you the Undergrowth and finding help and support in the most unexpected places + sharing a vision for my formless website
Hello and welcome to the Undergrowth - a sorta backstage pass to what it means to cultivate trust in paving our own path and sharing our magic with the world. This is very much a space of honesty, integrity, and vulnerability shared from my personal experience of “figuring” it out. It is the uncertain beginnings, the messy middles, and the never-ending finish lines. I have some big vision dreams that I want to bring into form. This space will be a reflection of that: the ups and the downs, the highs and the lows, the confusion and the clarity, the wavering of trust, and the radical acceptance of what is.
I will be taking you into the nitty-gritty of everything that comes with building something of my own. This is your direct access to my process. There’ll be no holding back here. You’ll be getting a backstage pass to what it looks like figuring out what all of it entails: experimentation with various offerings, channels, and platforms, personal reflections and lessons learned, finding clarity around my “brand” and the medicine I want to bring to this world. You’ll be a very cherished witness on this journey we’re about to go on.
I hope that you’ll feel less alone in your own process of “figuring” things out, and maybe, through this space, we can empower each other, we can hold each other responsible and accountable, and help each other discern what actually matters.

As a thank you, you will receive a 15-minute intuition-led voice note on your astrological natal chart or your Human Design BodyGraph.
As a one-off, I am sending this paid post to everyone to make you aware of this new offering. Moving forward, these letters will only be sent to paid subscribers. I’d rather not tease you in your inbox with something that’s not available as an open access.
Welcome to the backstage of my business. Cringing as I am saying it out loud as I can’t quite see it as business…yet. But the seeds are there. And that excites me.
Funny, I first dreamt of the Undergrowth space at the beginning of my Substack journey but it was a more personal approach. This 2.0 version feels more mature and more clear in its intent. It was during a recent Dream Quest event that this new level of self-trust emerged. And I knew I needed to take some practical steps to really start bringing this vision into form. And partly, this space is a reflection of that.
What started out as an exploration of cultivating a slow creative life has come full circle back to what that entails. But my definition and understanding of a slow creative life has expanded.
I am currently finding myself in this very liminal space. And I feel it, especially through my mind. I am noticing wanting to find clarity and focus even with the knowledge that I hold within my body that lets me know this is not the way. I find myself empowering others through their BodyGraph and yet doing the same with my own is at times still so out of reach and counterintuitive.
There is a sense of paralysis to the point of the kind of overwhelm that leaves us feeling frozen. So we do nothing. We drown in self-pity, self-doubt, and self-criticism. And that is not a healthy place to linger.
As I found myself racking my brain around wanting to make sense of things and needing to find a set path forward and succumbing to this paralysis, I stopped myself, drew some deep breaths, checked in with my body, grabbed my Work Your Light oracle deck, and drew a card.
Take a Break, it said.
Ha! I had to laugh out loud because it was the most appropriate message I could have received. I was forcing an outcome from a mental space. And although I still find myself doing it, I am able to stop myself quicker these days. I am able to reset and reground in my own energy.
