October 13, 20201) Tell us a little about you & what you do!
I’m a guide who helps visionaries, creatives and leaders to reclaim their center so that they can design their lives purpose. I take people through a process I call, “Discover Your Flow.” To discover your flow means to get in touch with your core unique energy signature.
What does that mean?
So when we grow up we are born into family structures, societal structures, and cultural norms. So as children we grow up absorbing all these things in our environments, yet within our innocent nature we were always wonderers, immersed with what is.
The journey I take people on is to create more oneness within, after absorbing programs from the past, to being immersed in your own. It’s about bringing all aspects of ourselves home. This is the path of wholeness, where we really discover our flow. And from there we build out inspirations and visions. I bring all my resources into it as well.
2) What’s a big lesson you’ve learned from your Near Death experience?
The greatest lesson I got from that incident, was that there is so much more to reality than meets the eye. It also taught me about the world of energy, how everything is energy, vibrating at different frequencies. It also taught me about how most of the obstacles we think about we create. The choice is simple, you’re either getting busy with living or you’re getting busy with dying. We get to choose which dance to tango in the moment.
3) What’s something that most people don’t know about you?
I had some big time struggles in my past, from being in depression, dealing with social anxieties, feeling out of place etc… It was through accepting those parts and loving them that I am able to do this type of work.
4) What’s a tip for someone who wants to Level Up in their life?
One of the best things I ever learned from mentor, was that it’s a 3 level cake. At the bottom we have awareness, in the middle we have choices, and at the top we have results. The results depend on the choices and the choices depends on the awareness. So developing a strong sense of self-awareness will take you farther than you can ever imagine because you are with yourself all the way. Just simply immerse yourself into what lights you up. Even if it’s as simple as going for a walk, follow those nudges everyday and consistently and you’ll know how stuff just starts to transform around you. It’s quite a show when it does.
5) Have you had a synchronistic moment lately that has impacted you?
So recently I decided to fly off to the other side of the country on a one way ticket with no plans or anything. Just following the inspiration. As I’ve been here, I’ve had so many things come up, just patterns and fears. Every time I think it’s all going bad, I realize it’s all happening for me not against me. So this is synchronistic for me because somewhere deep down, I still had some doubts whether I was on the right path etc…But this is awakening me deeper into my own being.
6) What is something in nature that has been a teacher for you?
I love this question, because spending time in nature is probably what I do the most in my off time. The truth is all of it teaches me. From how the trees grow, to how they connect with everything from the sky, the sun rays and the moons glow. The animals and plants how they move in this perfect motion with life. The greatest thing I learned from nature is that we are nature. We are not separate from it. So we get to really reconnect with something special when we spend time there.
7) What do you love about portrait photography?
I love catching the light, I love seeing how it falls and creates a vibe. Then when I get to put a person in front of the lens with the combination of the environment, I feel like I get to see people’s soul when I shoot. Which is powerful for someone to see themselves and for me it’s a reminder that there is a part of me in them too. It conjures up the energy of oneness within me.
8) Who’s someone in the industry that has inspired you?
Personally, I love so many different people’s approaches. I get inspired by all industries. From art, portrait photography, fashion & music. I am honestly more inspired by the moments of genius delivered by such epic people.
9) What do you love about yourself?
I love my willingness and ability to love unconditionally, it’s been quite a journey giving that to myself. I can now honestly say that I simply love myself as I am and now I get to grow from there.
