About My Work
“I can’t take it anymore,” I muttered to myself.The early summer greenery — complemented by the kiss of warm sunlight — didn’t help how I felt inside.I walked along the stream. Upstream. Like how my life felt.“I didn’t come here to waste my life away in mediocrity.”My black dress shoes felt like prisons, starving my feet from contact with the Earth. Same with the black pants. Same with the purple dress shirt too. I wanted to tear it all off, jump in the water, and wash away the stress of staring at meaningless numbers on a screen all day.But I couldn’t. Well, I technically could. But I would have to go back to work soon. There were probably only 15 minutes left until my lunch break was over.I looked around, making sure no one was nearby, then let out a grunt. That felt better. A little primal expression made me feel real. Unlike the polite fakery of office politics.“I’m so done,” I whispered in a strange blend of childish frustration and empowered declaration.Something caught my attention. A log, lying across a gap at the stream’s edge. It was about 12 feet long and the same height from the water below.I walked up to it. “This will give me at least a little bit of adventure — a feeling of aliveness — today.” The mere thought gave me a mischievous smile.I placed one foot on the log, testing its stability. “It’s safe.” Then I shifted into complete presence, the stress melting from my body and mind. No job. No past. No idea of self to uphold. Just this very moment. I became movement itself as I smoothly walked, one foot in front of the other, across the log.At the end of it, I jumped off, landing on the ground with the subtlest of sounds. This shifted me back into “regular” mode. “I better get back into work.” Then I looked back at the log, waved thank you, and walked the path back to the nearby office building.🌀Although this happened around 10 years ago, this was a moment I distinctly remember.It was a crescendo of frustration with the meaningless work of corporate America, followed by the deep presence that comes with being in nature.This moment also helped me make a big decision…A couple months later, I left that job to travel the world. And that set me on a whole new trajectory. One that led me to more meaningful work:- Creating courses to help hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs
- Coaching at events to help business owners evolve their mindset
- Writing for brands like Robert Kiyosaki, Daymond John, and Prince EA
- Becoming a copywriter and brand messaging strategistIt also led me to create what I feel is my MOST meaningful work:- Fiction books that act as modern spiritual mythology
- Poetry that speaks to the soulOnly through years of reflection did I realize the foundational theme of my relationship with work and creativity → This sense of meaningfulness.So meaningful work is what drives me.It’s also what I can help you with.If you fall into one of these groups…1) Brands (who want to create more meaningful messaging)2) Employees (who want to bring more meaning into the workplace)3) Individuals (you want to enhance your life with more meaningful work)…Then let’s create some meaningful work together.Check out my services below.With gratitude,

The Upgrade Your Brand Deserves
What if your brand voice wasn’t just words on a page, but a spark that lights up every corner of your message?In personal growth and spiritual work, your words are your magic. If they don’t hit deep and ring true, you’re leaving connection (and clients) on the table.
