A Torch Bearer for Truth, Illumination, and Belonging
I grew up in Minnesota, where the winters are long and the people live close to the land. I didn’t know it then, but those quiet, snow-covered mornings and the ache to feel something more, were the earliest stirrings of the path I walk now.
I followed the map I was given — got the degrees, climbed the ladder, worked high up in colleges and healthcare, and eventually became an entrepreneur. On paper, life looked ideal.
But there was always this quiet voice inside me.
A knowing. A whisper.
Something older than science and louder than fear.
it told me that
The path I was walking—while meaningful—was not the whole story.
And over time, it became impossible to ignore.
What followed were initiations I never would have chosen but that shaped me completely: heartbreak, building and letting go of a thriving wellness business, multiple re-inventions, and eventually… breast cancer, menopause, more loss, and the surrendering of nearly everything I had called home.
I lost the life I had built, but in doing so, I found something deeper: I found ME. It may sound cliché, but it rings true in my bones, that in the unraveling, I was called—not by aspiration or ambition—but by the earth itself.
To the fire. To Mexico. To the temazcal. To plant medicine.
To a way of life that lives in rhythm with the land and honors the elements as elders.
These are not hobbies nor interests. They are callings. They come with no guarantee and no plan. They come from the ancestors, the wind, the ache in my bones to return to something that never once asked me to perform.
Some might say this reeks of cultural appropriation—and I can see why you might say that…
But as my teachers have told me:
“When the call comes from the earth, the ancestors, and the fire, you respond. You know it’s true. And you know you belong.”
And so I did respond, and there is no doubt in my heart that I belong.
I didn’t choose this life to prove anything nor to be someone.
I didn’t choose it. I was called.
And once you hear that kind of truth, you can’t go back to pretending you didn’t.
I serve from this place. From the quiet place of deep respect, lifelong learning, and the unshakable belief that the work I offer isn’t about me. It’s about the torch I’ve been asked to carry— for those walking through darkness: mid-life, menopause, divorce, empty-nesting, death, diagnosis.
The work I do is for those standing between what was and what could be, for those who are ready to burn down all that no longer serves their highest good, and are ready to live the life that is longing to live through them.
Your life is a living prayer. Every breath, every step, every letting go is sacred. You were never meant to do it alone.
