“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”
- St. Chroma, Tyler, the Creator
Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album. It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here. We just need to find it within and let it shine. JC |

Two different time periods—one a long, long time ago, one modern. Same important message. Just because you are alive today doesn’t mean you are actually living life. Don’t waste this awesome gift you’ve been given...
“When you desire something, it isn’t primarily about the thing itself; it is about the state of being that you imagine will come with it – a state of fulfillment, contentment, presence, calm.” -Ben Katt If the something is aligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience those states of being and more. If the something is misaligned with your Authentic Life, you’ll experience disappointment, frustration, and discontentment that you didn’t receive what you had hoped for, Most people...
I met with a client I’ve been working with for almost a year, and we reflected on the success we've both been having. I reminded him that I came into 2026 saying (and believing) that anyone close to me was going to have a great year—I came into the year riding a powerful wave, and I felt that anyone on that wave with me was going to have a great year too. And this has been true—not just him, but the other clients I’ve been coaching, my closest friends, even clients I’ve been working with for...
