I'm on a mission to help more people find and live their authentic life. Check out my Daily Notes where I write a short note each day about the connection of spirit, mind, body and money on the Pursuit of your authentic life.
"some people are so poor, all they have is money"

“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.”
- Bob Marley
As I think about the work I am and will be doing with LifeDesign+, I believe the majority of the people I will work with will understand that while we cannot escape the need for money and that having money is not bad, it also will not lead to a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Purpose and fulfillment are found by finding, living, and evolving with your authentic life. Through personal experience and observation, I know you can have purpose, fulfillment, and money—they are not mutually exclusive. I also know you don’t have to find purpose and fulfillment first for the money to follow—although this is one way. It is also possible to accumulate money to seek purpose and fulfillment, aligning the three. There is no “right path”. The beauty of LifeDesign+ is that the relationship will allow me to meet people where they are. They can be seeking purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to their authentic lives to align and grow their finances, or they can be the version of “poor” described by Bob Marley, having the money and looking for their authentic life. I’ll be writing more and updating my website to bring more attention to LifeDesign+ (and a couple of variations—one specifically for my financial advisor peers and another to act as an outsourced life planner for financial advisor firms) now that I have confirmed that path that I am on is the right one for the present. If you find your Self seeking to find purpose and fulfillment by moving closer to your authentic life in hopes that it aligns and improves your finances, which it will, or you already have financial success but lack purpose and fulfillment, I’m only a reply to this email or DM away to chat about LifeDesign+. I’ll be here when you’re ready. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation.” -Audre Lorde It is easy to fall into the trap of sacrificing your Self in order to serve others. Many of us strive to be selfless to take care of others—our family, clients, friends, and even strangers. What we fail to realize is that being too selfless is actually selfish. We are placing our desire to help others, often rooted in love and coming from a good place, above taking care of our Selves. It might take a while to...
There’s been a lot of conversation, even controversy, about Justin Bieber’s Coachella performance. I’ve only seen clips and read about the YouTube sing-along, but I’m a fan of what he did. First, it seems that his fans—his true fans loved the stroll down memory lane, which is what really matters. Who cares what the media has to say when they aren’t the ones he created his music for? Second, and I’m not sure if this is true, but it sounds plausible, that by playing his songs on YouTube and...
Living your Authentic Life requires you to be optimistic. The energy associated with pessimism will never vibrate at a frequency as high as your Authentic Life. Currently, there is an abundance of pessimism in the world. And while it’s understandable why pessimism persists, it keeps those who default to it unhappy and prevents them from living their Authentic Life. Optimism doesn’t mean ignoring the injustices in the world. Optimism doesn’t mean that you don’t get upset or sad at times....
