Your power source is not coffee. It’s this.


Hi Reader,

One of the first things you need to understand, if you want to work magic or grow spiritually, is energy.

According to the dictionary, energy is:
“the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity,” or
“power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources.”

Mmmhhhh, okay.
But how does that relate to magic and spirituality?

Because I’m not talking about “I need another cup of coffee” energy.
I’m talking about the force that animates you. That breathes you. That is you.

Energy, if you think about it, is whatever is making you alive, and keeping you alive.

We understand a little bit about the origin of life, but the truth is, it’s a mystery.

Modern science has theories. Ancient traditions have names.

But no one fully understands why this particular combination of cells and stardust came alive one day and became you.

What we do know is this:
Energy takes many forms.
And it’s what makes things happen.

From a spiritual perspective, there are many kinds of energy—emotional, mental, cosmic, ancestral.

But before you can engage with any of those, the very first step is to build a conscious relationship with your own.

Your own life force.
Your own cycles.
Your own rhythm and flow.
Your own spark of the great mystery.

Because when you begin to connect with that, when you slow down and actually feel the pulse of your own energy, you step into reverence for the most basic, astonishing fact of your existence:

You’re here.

You’re on Earth.
Incarnated.
Living in a body.
With breath, with movement, with perception and choice.
You might be thriving. You might be struggling. But either way, this is the reality we’re sharing.

And this aliveness? It's sacred.

The problem is, most people have never been taught how to listen to it.
So they override it.
They push when they should pause.
They try to manifest while totally disconnected from their own power source.
They cast spells that don’t work, not because they don’t believe, but because they don’t yet know how to direct their energy.

When we’re in conscious relationship with the life force, when we honor its ebbs and flows, when we stop treating our energy like something to manage and start treating it like something to partner with—we reconnect with the source that makes all magic possible.

And that changes everything.

You release the pressure to prove yourself.

You trust your timing.
Your choices carry the weight of truth.
You start living like someone who actually believes they’re sacred.

You feel more alive—because you are.

And once you know how to work with your energy?

Everything else becomes easier.

Courage, truth, and infinite love,


I don’t believe in magic, but I know that it works!

Magic is not a belief system, it’s a practice that works. Don’t believe me? Come try it out. If it doesn’t work, you lose nothing. But if it does… your dream life is about to begin!

Have you ever had a moment so beautiful it made you believe again? I just returned from Europe, and in the midst of global chaos, I got to experience something that reminded me of what's real and holy. The nearly finished Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is this wild, towering church that’s been under construction for over a hundred years. It was designed by Gaudí, who was kind of a mystical genius who saw the divine fingerprints of nature everywhere. He once said something like, “Nature is...

“I only ended up there because of you.” That’s what my friend said after attending a reunion at the school that changed her life. She told me how powerful it was to be back—seeing the students, reconnecting with her teachers, and feeling the love of that community. She was glowing. I had no idea what she meant. I didn’t even remember she’d gone to that school, let alone that I had anything to do with it. And I was like, “What are you talking about?” According to her (and we’re gonna trust her...

Hi Reader, The other day, I watched a little girl fall while running around in the park. For a split second, she looked shocked. And then she exploded into tears and ran to her mom. That was her first instinct: to express her pain and ask for care and comfort. And she received it. Instantly. That moment stayed with me because of the simple truth it held: a child knows what they need and deserve. She didn’t calculate whether her pain was valid enough to warrant attention. She didn’t say...
