Hi Reader, Over the weekend, I spent time with some friends visiting from across the country, and like many of my favorite conversations, it started with politics and slowly drifted toward something deeper—spirituality, meaning, the nature of life itself. The thread we ended up pulling on was this idea of deservedness.Who gets what?Who is entitled to what kind of life?Who gets to thrive—and why? I shared what I’ve come to believe:That the very moment someone arrives on Earth, they are...

I love how people talk about some kinds of magic as if they’re totally real, and other kinds as if they’re completely delusional. Take the economy. Apparently, we’re entering a bear market. That phrase alone sounds like it belongs in a Tarot deck or a chapter of a fantasy novel. The bear market cometh! What it really means, according to the experts, is that things are going to shit. Prices are rising. A recession might be looming. Panic sets in. But here’s what’s wild: the “market”—this thing...

Hi Reader, Birth, death, and rebirth are the natural order of life. They’re not optional.They’re not metaphors.They are Reality—with a capital R. Everything that lives follows this rhythm.People. Plants. Animals. Ecosystems. Beliefs. Movements. Organizations. Even economies. And yet, we’ve built a world that clings to only one part of the cycle: birth and growth.The rise. The expansion. The illusion of limitless “more.” We try to skip the death part entirely. We pretend endings are failures....

Dear Reader, Two days ago, around 10 a.m., I stepped outside and looked up at the sky.She looked unreal. Not metaphorically—literally.A perfect crescent moon, drawn with such precision it felt like someone had painted her there.Hanging in the South, her round edge facing East. So flawless, so still.And she’d be gone by the weekend. Something about that moment hit me.Staring at that moon—the same one I’ve been looking at for half a century—every cell in my body whispered a truth I couldn’t...

Hey Reader, Have you ever found yourself completely shocked and pissed off when someone does the exact opposite of what they are supposed to stand for? Maybe it was the feminist leader who made blatantly sexist comments in a staff meeting. Or the director of a financial empowerment nonprofit who turned out to be stealing money. Or the spiritual guide who preached integrity and alignment, and turned out to be involved in some sleazy scandal. It doesn’t just feel wrong—it feels personal. You...

Hey Reader, I used to live in Australia, but in 2017, I moved back to the U.S. …and promptly hit a mental health crisis. I was just starting my business, not exactly financially stable, and dating someone I knew was going to end in heartbreak (or worse). And then, one day, something in me just broke. I started crying uncontrollably—for days. Weeks, even. I couldn’t stop. And I didn’t even know why I was crying. I was unraveling. And honestly? I didn’t know how to put myself back together. But...

Dear Reader, Last Friday, the world witnessed one of the most egregious acts of political bullying in modern history. I won’t waste energy on the bullies—but I will talk about the kind of magic that renders them powerless. If you missed it, let’s just say Zelenskyy walked into a room full of supposed allies and left with his dignity intact—even as they sought to strip it away. There’s a kind of magic that has nothing to do with spells, herbs, or rituals. No candles. No incense. No whispered...

Dear Reader, A few years ago, a friend of mine was stuck in a job she absolutely hated. Every Sunday night, the anxiety would creep in. By Monday morning, she felt like she was being swallowed whole. Meetings that should’ve been emails. A boss who made her question her own intelligence. Work that drained her, suffocated her, and made her feel small. She’d tell me over coffee, “I just need to let it go. I need to stop being so angry. I need to move on.” But she didn’t. Every time she thought...

Hi Reader, People ask me all the time: How do I cast a spell to find love? And every time, I think:Are you asking about the easy part or the part that actually makes it work?" The easy part:You can simply google “spell for a romantic partner” and you’ll get a bunch of ideas for things like get pink candles, anoint them with rose oil, write your perfect-partner list in red ink, charge rose quartz under the full moon, blah, blah, blah. Perfectly fine love spell, but more likely than not, it...
