Hi Reader,
A lot has happened over the last 24 hours. While some feel that this was the right outcome, many are looking for comfort, resources, and acknowledgement as America and the rest of the world process the election results and a deeper slide into right-wing authoritarianism.
I want to send this email as a reminder that I've been quietly here, watching and working on these topics, and gently exploring and excavating the space that makes us who we are for over a decade. In this email, I'll be sharing a bunch of resources that bring comfort and context amid everything happening now.
Access to my hidden archive of articles
My platform is being revamped as I switch gears for what's coming in 2025, but I have a host of articles still available on my website. The ones that I think you'll find particularly relevant are:
"Lady Gaga's Approach to Communication and Leadership" — on the singer's approach to activism in the Super Bowl LI of 2018, after Trump took the presidency in 2016. While it's a different world now, some of the lessons still apply and it can help ground you.
"To Reverse Mass Psychosis, Choose a Better Story" — An article that about how to change your personal narratives and how many personal and social pathologies start within the individual. This is a post on what personal narratives are and how to change them.
"Marianne Williamson and the Pluto Return of the U.S." — A look at the first presidential campaign of Marianne Williamson which spoke to the many psychological and structural challenges we face today. Marianne has a highly intuitive and syncretic take on U.S. politics.
Polarization is the shadow of pluralism
From polarization to climate collapse and an ongoing pandemic, these “great unanswerables” seem to plague us all. But I assure you that polarization is merely the shadow of pluralism, and that this is a collective process that is being worked through.
Rest assured that there is an order in this messy process. If you want to learn more about how this time in history works, I invite you to check out my work on Eris, the "goddess of strife and discord" and the case I'm building for her influence on the 21st century:
Get a quick introduction to Eris — Who is she and what role does she play in the astrological tradition, much less world events having to do with diversity, complexity, activism, and systems change? What can she teach us about what's happening in the world right now?
Read my abstract for the Harvard Divinity School — How are the various paradigms we've created being disrupted and confronted? How does polarization operate and how can we go about the evolution of culture, society, and consciousness in a healthy way?
Take my course on Eris for an immersive experience — How do we manage the complexity, recognize each element of what's happening in our world at work, and respond to it in a truly effective manner? My self-guided course, taken by dozens, shows the way.
Where else you can learn from me
These are complex times, and I hope to help you cut through these issues, recognize and actualize your life’s purpose in the face of it all. Here are a few places you can go to learn more from me.
Subscribe to my Substack and consider going paid — As more people experience confusion and mourning around what was, I'll be providing more ways to recognize your life's purpose and become the person you want to be as we navigate an uncertain future.
Engage with me on various social channels — I'm sharing my perspectives on channels including Bluesky, LinkedIn, and even Twitter. People need to recognize that we only change the collective once enough of us rise up into our own sense of true personal power.
Schedule time to meet with me 1:1 — Whether you're looking to heal from the past, understand your life's purpose, or create a business that reflects your deepest intentions, I make time to support those willing to invest and go on the journey of self-discovery.
We can get through this, but we must grow and find new ways of being to do so. Please take great care of yourselves and each other. The election appears to have ended, and it's a difficult time for many, but the real work now has an opportunity to begin.
