Finding Like-Hearted Souls

For years, I told myself nobody understood me. It was a childhood trigger that cropped up everywhere. But when I finally cleared the trigger, I learned...

Have you ever shared something completely magical with someone who just shrugged and said “cool,” when it’s obvious they didn't understand what you were talking about?

Or worse…

…bared your soul to someone who looked at you like you’re totally bat-sh*t crazy.

For magical people, this is a real thing.

For a long time, I harbored a childhood story that nobody understood me. My mom used to tease me about it, because I came back to this pattern about a million times. Eventually I cleared the trauma around it, but the BIG JOKE was that even after I stopped being triggered, people honestly... actually... didn't understand me!

It wasn’t just a childhood story—it was a lived reality that had been following me since childhood.

The truth is…

The average person has no idea what I'm talking about when I share my worldview or experiences with magic.

It took me a long time to find my people—the ones who not only understand but crave what I bring to the table.

There’s something so simple and so magical about finding like-hearted souls who truly See you.

The kind of people who:

👂 Know how to listen beneath the words...

💩 Aren’t interested in all the BS of everyday life…

💡 Are completely inspired by what you have to say...

🌀 Have crazy-magical experiences too...

I do my best to surround myself with people like this, because I've found that it makes all the difference in my spiritual Path.

When I'm hanging out with people who understand and cheer me on, I feel stronger. 

When I'm Seen and valued for who I really am, I feel confident.

When I can talk about the things that actually matter to me, I have SO MUCH MORE FUN!

I think everybody needs this kind of community as part of a balanced spiritual life.

We're not alone in the universe...
And we can't practice magic alone in a bubble.

That's why I created Heretic Happy Hour—
