Think there’s more to life? That’s your first clue.
A conversation in a quiet corner at a summer party set me on a path I never could have planned: cannabis breathwork, 5-MeO-DMT, and a daily breath practice that finally led me to the depth I’d been sensing existed all along.
What I found was the thinnest of veils between everyday reality and “everything that is.” And a friend reminded me that finding it is the beginning of the journey, not the end.
If you have a feeling there’s more to life, listen to it. That’s your first clue.
Athletes, Mindset, and the Path of Personal Development
An identity collapse landed me in a gym, then on a bike, training harder than I ever expected to. Looking back, I can see the connection now: the discipline that gets me through a hard ride and the discipline that professional development work asks for are the same thing.
When Do You Feel Loved?
A friend once asked me a question their therapist had given them:
"When do you feel loved?"
I thought I had an answer. I didn't.
It took hitting rock bottom in my late 40s, a therapeutic MDMA journey, and a few quiet days of reflection to finally get there.
The answer surprised me. It's the only true answer to that question — and I think most of us spend our whole lives looking for it in the wrong places.
I wrote about it.
