FIVE tips to help YOU create an EPIC life outside of the societal norms

Ever just look around and think: this isn't for me!

Wedding announcements, baby bumps, happy commutes to the office, another corporate win, sit down lawn mowers, a week as Disney with the kids...a lil something coming up the windpipe, amirite?

But then you see people happy, content and keeping it keeping on and it also makes you wonder if there is something wrong with you: why isn't this enough? why does this life feel so suffocating? is this all there is?

I feel like I was meant for more...

So maybe it's time to consider that the life that is seemingly working for people around you is just this:

not working for you.

I hear you. It wasn't working for me. And living that lie almost killed me.

I spent DECADES trying to be a nice girl, serving my due diligence of millennial deference and just acquiesced to the powers that be. I drank the kool aide, did the care taking roles and played by the rules. And slowly it eroded my self worth and caused deep self hate and anger internally, which projected outwardly on to everyone in my path. It was messy. And it was extreme information that the box I was trying to fit into was just not for me. That stereotypical life was not for me.

Let someone else have it! Enjoy that minivan. God. Bless.

And the things I felt feel trapped by: the house, the kids, the marriage, the golden retriever and fenced in yard were more like a fence keeping me from my dreams.

Living an aligned life is about building and creating from what moves and serves YOU, regardless of what is standard. It is a wholehearted sprint toward your fuck yes and your dreams, even when they don't make sense to the people around you.

So consider that all these "things" people claim as success are just someone's interpretation of success that was specifically designed to keep a supremist, capitalistic and ma-fuggin patriarchal scheme a-scheming. So if you have a vagina and live in 2025, I am gonna go out on a limb and say: you are probably not winning what THAT formula. Of course you feel fucking crazy! I did, too.
