We all feel it — the world is rapidly changing before our eyes.

And when the world changes, it’s impossible for us not to change with it.

Of course, we have free will. But some moments find us so swept up in the transformation that we only realize on the other side that the world looks, feels, and is…different.

This is one of those moments.

And in this moment, you might notice that the things you used to do to feel better, to get through, no longer seem to work.

It’s because this moment requires something deeper from us — something deeper than self-care.

I created THE SELF DEVOTIONAL to explore what it means to move beyond self-care, to prioritize feeling aligned over feeling good, and to live in devotion to your unique path or purpose, even in the midst of unprecedented change.

Each week, I explore what it means to walk the path of self-devotion (peek into my mystical + mundane life), how to tap into your own Divine guidance (discover practices and rituals that meet you where you are), and the tools I use to help keep me on path (gain unique perspective on astrology, the tarot, Gene Keys, and Human Design).

Together, let’s allow these shifts to make us more of who we are — brave souls who chose to be here at this time in human history to master our personal curriculum, and express in ways only we can.
