Hello Wonderful You,
My Substack is an intentional, quiet, and transformative space—a place to unlearn our sense of deficiency and remember that we are what we’ve been searching for.
If you’ve spent years navigating the self-improvement and spirituality industry, only to find fleeting moments of freedom, I’m here to offer a truth that can shift the foundation upon which life is lived. This foundation is who you are—the deepest stillness through which life moves.
Wholeness is not a state to be achieved; it is who we already are. True well-being is not something to chase but a return—a gentle peeling away of all that obscures our natural state of peace, freedom, and joy.
In my own pursuit, which spanned decades, continents, and wisdom traditions, I found a homecoming not in seeking but in ending the search—in simply being present with what is. This is something we are rarely taught, shaped instead by an economic system and materialist society that thrives on feeding our deeply rooted sense of lack.
Yet, it is in our willingness to be present—with pain, trauma, anxiety, and even the self itself—that we uncover the essence of our innate wholeness. Our absence from this moment is the root of suffering; our presence is the way home.
By staying with what is, we expand beyond the mind’s limitations into the dimension of pure being. And in being, we rediscover awe in the mundane and a profound, natural compassion for the vulnerability of our own humanity.
Not Another Wellness Newsletter
I no longer believe that meditation, mindfulness, and well-being are achieved through rigorous discipline, forced positivity, or the illusion that we control every aspect of life. In fact, I’ve come to see that this very mindset kept me disconnected from myself for years—feeding the belief that a better me existed somewhere in an imagined future.
The truth is, wholeness isn’t something to chase. It’s about inviting in what aches, allowing ourselves to fully see what is already here, already available in every moment. In this presence, all we have been searching for reveals itself—as the very ground of every experience.

About Me
If you would like to deepen your journey into presence, you can find me on:
My website (for information about what I offer)
Insight Timer (for guided meditations and courses)
Amazon (for my latest poetry books)
AlchemistOne (for specific addiction recovery courses)
and no social media link here because I have none :)
Why subscribe?
I’m slowly making all content available here exclusive to members only. This is anything but a barrier. It is an invitation to open the invisible doors between us in a safe space. Unlike generic economic ideas of success, I don’t count meaningful growth in followers but find it life-giving to be able to create a more reciprocal space where we all get to intentionally choose who we spend time with and what kind of content we quench our thirst from.
If this sounds like your kind of watering hole, I’d love to meet you.
