Step Over the Line to Meet Your Better Self

Mastery is a word commonly associated with sports, leadership in business, and the arts. I'm more interested in mastering our human experience.

I find myself at another turn around the sun. I gratefully experienced this celebration on ancient lands alive with beauty, energy, guidance, and deep wisdom.

I experienced this celebration with humans who are willing to explore every part of themselves equally from craving creativity to the parts that require rest and healing in order to be the best versions of themselves as artists, creators, filmmakers, healers, leaders, and friends.

I received the gift of space to expand this week, and I'm deeply grateful. You cannot create expansive impact in the world without embodying expanse.

I received the gift of reflection, intimate moments of mirroring my gifts back to me, both uncomfortable and yet so necessary.

I received time to play where I connected more deeply with my Super Hero, NIKA, one of the stars in my upcoming feature film, NIKA + The FireDancers.

NIKA backwards is Akin: Of kin, related by blood; allied by nature. As I step over the line to meet my other self, my better self, my Higher Self, there is a sense that links expansion to a remembering that we are all of kin. Here on this planet for this lifetime to have the fullest experience possible, utilizing our greatest gifts to create expansive impact.

Over the past year, I have received the gift of teachings and healing practices from my Indigenous friend, mentor, and Knowledge Keeper, Wenecwtsin, as we journeyed together through the production of my short film, Coming Home for the Children, which releases next month. Deep gratitude beyond words.

If you'd like to learn more about me and my journey as an Indigenous Storyteller, Impact Producer, and Media Visionary thus far, I think you'll enjoy this recent article. Rested and ready for my next chapter of impact. How about you?
