Enjoying The Fruits of Their Labour (An Essay)

November 14, 2025 in Essays, Convos, Long, Mentoring

Her: “Just thinking of you because I have so many conversations with you to whip myself back to myself! Just had a real good one today!”

Me: “You mean you gave yourself a good whipping through my voice in your head?”

Her: “Yes!!! It’s like... if I called Mandy about this so-called "problem"… well, we all know what happens after that lol”

So fun and so true.

My dreamy clients know we don’t do calls to tend to their bullshit.

They do their own fucking work and THEN book the call to enjoy the fruits of their labour with a hottie whose being refines it even further.

Read This If You Feel Old (An Essay)

November 03, 2025 in Essays, Aging, Convos, Health, Long

After finding out my age…

Her: “You look so young.”

Me: “I *am* young.”

And I’m not accelerating the aging process like many of those around me.

Listen.

The universe is ‘old’.

Humans, regardless of their age / lifespan,

are just babies in the big scheme of things.

We are here only for a blip even if we make it far into ‘old age’.

50… 75… 100…

Still fresh.

Still new.

Still in our true prime.

Even as our form shifts over time, like all physical things do.

Still ageless, timeless, eternal and everlasting.

Unless of course you’re not keeping current with yourself.

And you’ve got a fuckton of matter weighing you down.

And you’re buying into the societal bullshit of what it means to age.

And you’ve been neglecting your true work and your body for eons.

Then of course you will feel ‘old’ and you will look much older than you should and you will move far less freely than you’re actually capable of — just like the masses.

And of course you’ll fear aging (like this gal does), and death by proxy, because you haven’t been doing what you’re supposed to be doing as a functioning human:

cleaning up your shit and taking full responsibility for every aspect of your life, including the state of your body and the illusions you have around form.

And more and worse of what you’ve currently got going on (when what you’ve got going on is based on limitation; both perceived and real) would scare anybody.

So if you haven’t prioritized yourself, the deep work, your health and your body yet,

get crackin’.

And start with going carnivore (or at the very least, keto) and The Power of Mobility.

Before You Get Work Done (An Essay)

November 03, 2025 in Essays, Aging, Convos, Long

I was chatting with a hottie at the club who is the same age as me.

And she shared how much she hates / fears getting older,

which was evident regardless of her sharing that.

And she shared about the work she has gotten done (and more that she still wants to do),

which was evident regardless of her sharing that.

And while I’m not opposed at all to people doing exactly what they want to do to, and with, their bodies…

(because I certainly intend to get ‘work’ done in the future — not botox or implants, mind you, because I don’t want that in my body…

and not because I think I ‘need’ it… (I simply want it, and I’ve known for years exactly what I want)

and I will have no problem sharing that process if and when I do it — because you already know I could care less what you or anyone else would think of that)

you can tell the difference between someone getting work done in an attempt to ‘hold on’ to something they perceive is fading — which is fear / illusion / compensation based…

and someone getting work done for the fun of it,

and just because that’s the next true step that reflects the vision of themselves they want to step into.

And if you have the means and the desire to shape your vessel in any way you like, and in a way that feels safe and perfect for you, go for it.

It’s only a body.

And it will (re)turn back to nothing soon enough.

But…

Getting work done won’t quell the noise if the noise is what’s driving you to get it done.

Just like more money won’t solve your money problems.

Because money problems aren’t about money.

And the compensatory drive to change your appearance is not about your looks / your body / the aging process, either.

The noise has nothing to do with those things.

And you need to do the work to see through the bullshit of that so that if and when you do choose to enhance your vessel, it can look and feel natural / completely accurate on you (even if it looks artificial), because it’s a true reflection of you and the vision you want to step into; not an attempt to ‘fix’ what you’ve yet to address internally by ‘fixing’ something externally.

Not the vibe.

And…

If you are someone that judges people who get work done,

then that is the noise you need to contend with and see through.

Because your judgement is not about other people getting work done.

The Infinite Investment (An Essay)

September 01, 2025 in Essays, Wee, Grid, Money, Convos

it is impossible to ‘waste’

time

money

energy

your life

—

all of it is an investment

no matter how it’s spent

△

Her: “Even if invested with the wrong people?”

Me: “Wrong aka exactly right for where you were when you chose ‘wrong’, or else you would have chosen ‘right’ instead (which you did anyways because there is no ‘wrong’)

Her: “What if I knew it was wrong and still chose the same a few times over like a loop until I got it? Not a waste of time?”

Me: “Right. That training ground is not a waste because it leads you to stop that loop. It doesn’t matter how many times you loop. Eventually, you won’t.”

The Illusion of Abuse (An Essay)

August 20, 2025 in Essays, Wee, Mentoring, Convos, Victim Bullshit, Narc Shit

‘Victim’ / ‘Abuser’

No.

Both parties are equal, willing, necessary participants.

They are two sides of the same coin,

at the deepest / energetic level.

About That Coldplay Moment (An Essay)

July 22, 2025 in Essays, Human Dynamics, Convos, Long

Posted by a friend on Facebook:

“You have to wonder why the demise of two families at a Coldplay concert is shared more than the tragedies going on around the world. Such a sad state of the world.”

Her friend chimes in:

“I agree 100%. I also don't find anything funny about it. People's lives have been destroyed by this, and its being treated like a joke?”

My take:

Exposing truth doesn’t destroy families.

It liberates everyone involved.

It was the hiding that was destructive.

Now each person is free to choose.

Also,

everyone laughed because it was comedy gold.

Duh.

It was a moment in time that brought everyone together.

So rare.

Whereas “tragedies going on around the world” are happening 24/7/365.

The comparison is silly.

What's The Sign Mean? (An Essay)

July 19, 2025 in Essays, Grid, Wee, Convos

Her: “What’s the sign mean?”

Me: “Nothing means anything unless you assign meaning to it.”

You can attribute any meaning to anything and not be ‘wrong’.

Because whatever you believe, makes it so.

Not because it IS so.

But because you believe it is so.

Owing 52K In Taxes (An Essay)

June 25, 2025 in Essays, Money, Mentoring, Convos, Long

“I was expecting and saving for 20-25k in taxes but certainly didn’t expect that to be doubled. But it didn’t phase me and still doesn’t. There was even something hot about seeing the money go. And though I have had to cool it on the bigger spontaneous purchases, I have not changed anything else about my lifestyle. I still feel wealthy. And love seeing the account growing again.”

The above message I received today is what REAL ‘money freedom’ looks and feels like.

Having ZERO hang ups or illusions about money so that you’re cool no matter what and you know how to ‘make’ whatever the fuck you want.

This hottie owed 52K in taxes this year and she had 56K between two accounts and paid her debt it in full (HOT) and didn’t fucking flinch over how ‘little’ remained (SUPER HOT).

THIS is what MY work is about.

FREEDOM. ON. EVERY. LEVEL.

Because ‘money freedom’ is not about fucking money.

And yes, it includes money.

But it’s not about the accumulation of it.

And yes, you can stack as many dollars as you like.

REAL ‘money freedom’ is about the truth of it.

It’s about seeing through your own bullshit that’s in the way of it moving as freely and as naturally as it’s meant to.

And feeling so certain in your power and ability to generate it,

that even if all that money ‘goes away’ for a hot second,

it’s no biggie because you know how money ACTUALLY works so you never fear ‘losing’ it or not having ‘enough’ of it.

If this is how you want to exist,

(and you already do when you have zero shit in the way)

and how you wanna play with dollars,

(and everything else in your life)

and true freedom is your North Star,

(not the fucking money)

I’m the bitch you wanna talk to.

The Instant Shift (An Essay)

June 14, 2025 in Essays, Makin Moves, Convos, Long

Yes, it’s true that it does all shift in an instant.

Energetically.

And yes, sometimes it can shift physically —

in an instant.

But for many things, there is a ‘gap’.

A lag-time between the energetic shift and the physical reflection of it.

Not because something is wrong or not working.

But because shit is still moving.

Rearranging.

Lining up.

And that liminal space and appearance of nothing happening ‘out there’,

which doesn’t account for the very necessary yet unseen motion going on in the ethers,

is what creates a ton of movement and noise ‘in here’.

And this is what needs to be faced and seen through and silenced as the external comes into form.

Nothing is ‘wrong’ just because something hasn’t happened — yet.

Or in the way you think it should and on the timeline that you have decided.

Your work is to keep doing your work.

Period.

To make the inner more important than the outer, but of course, still tend to the outer.

To care about becoming and remaining stable internally, instead of defaulting to being moved and disheartened by externals.

Because…

When you see things and yourself as they / you are,

you can ‘handle’ what is or isn’t happening ‘out there’.

But when you can’t see things or yourself with clarity,

you really can’t ‘handle’ a thing.

Laura: “Man, I always fall into the trap of 'why is nothing changing when I've been paying all this attention to myself internally' and then I realize, that's the trap. Cause I'm still focused out but pretending to be in.”
Me: “What you wrote also implies that you’re focused on the internal to change the external and that’s also not actually IT. Even though on one level, of course. But it’s still connecting A to B instead of just doing A for the sake of being a fucking badass at A and letting B be whatever the fuck it’s gonna be because you’re SO GOOD with that A.”
Laura: “Bingo.”
