Hello, beautiful souls,
There is a unique kind of magic that happens when you sit down with nothing but a blank screen and a whisper of an idea. As an author, I am often asked: Where do the books come from? How do you know it’s time to write?
The truth is, being an author isn’t just a profession or a hobby. It is a way of seeing the world. It means walking through life with your eyes and heart wide open, constantly translating human emotion, spiritual mysteries, and personal growth into words that can serve as a mirror for someone else.
Lately, I have been immersed in the pure, unadulterated bliss of writing my sixth book alongside the wonderful Leslie Walker. There is an extraordinary joy that comes from collaborating and channeling cyclical wisdom—watching a brand new manuscript take shape moon by moon. Writing this book has reinforced a lesson I share often with my coaching clients: when you surrender to the rhythm of creation, the universe speaks through you.
I am absolutely thrilled to give you a first look at the beautiful cover for this next chapter: Returning to the 13 Moons: A Journey Back to the Rhythms of Life, Land, and Self.
## Decoding the Magic: What is the 13 Moon Calendar?
For those wondering about the heart of this new project, it is built entirely around the architecture of the 13 Moon Calendar. Unlike the rigid, irregular 12-month Gregorian calendar we use to track standard billing cycles and deadlines, a 13-month lunar calendar is built on absolute symmetry and biological alignment.
The formula is beautifully simple: 13 months, exactly 28 days each, totaling 364 days. This leaves one final, magical day remaining in the solar year—traditionally celebrated as the "Day Out of Time," a sacred pocket dedicated to artistic expression, stillness, and global peace.
The number 28 isn't an accident. It is a universal synchronization frequency. It honors the median orbit of the moon and perfectly mirrors the natural biological fertility cycles of the human body.
Modern mechanical time treats time as money, keeping us locked in a state of constant production and eventual burnout. But shifting back to a 13 Moon matrix allows us to treat time as art. It moves us out of linear rushing and steps us into a cyclical spiral. As a holistic coach, this is the very medicine I bring to my clients: learning how to stop forcing yourself into artificial boxes and instead allowing your life, your business, and your healing to wax, wane, and thrive alongside the earth.
Gathering in Community: Our Retreat Reunion & Future Immersions

Writing as a Sacred Practice
Every book demands a piece of the author's soul. To write deeply, you have to be willing to sit with the discomfort of the unknown. You have to trust that the message flowing through you is exactly what the world needs to hear, even when your inner critic begs you to hit delete.
For me, writing is a form of channeling. It’s a somatic, spiritual practice. When I am deep in the pages of Jaguar Medicine or exploring the themes of Revolutionary Icons, I am not just typing; I am actively processing healing, boundaries, and power.
And the absolute best part? The moment a book leaves my hands and lands in yours. Hearing how a specific chapter unlocked a breakthrough in your life or brought comfort to your spirit is the greatest reward an author could ever ask for.
