“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to acheive that beauty.” – Maya Angelou

This week’s blog isn’t about a wild stunt or an embarrassing story. It’s a reflection, a collection of “aha” moments as I look back on life itself and in awe of this new chapter I have officially stepped into. I share in hopes it helps unblock any blocks you may be experiencing or maybe a little motivation to help recalibrate your energy. Or maybe some food for thought to create new neurological pathways to creating more.

Have you ever paused and looked back at the hardest seasons of your life, the ones you thought would never end, only to realize they did end, and often in ways you never saw coming? Or maybe you’ve lived through beautiful moments that you never wanted to end, but they did… just not in the way you expected.

When you look back, do you see how each experience changed you? How every chapter, no matter how painful or precious, taught you something?

Maybe you’ve faced financial hardship too, the kind that consumes your day with stress and makes you feel like you’re always running on empty. I’ve been there. For the past five years, I’ve immersed myself in the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and others who speak about “lack,” how to overcome it, and how to become more. I’ve learned that life is a series of events strung together, each one shaping the next, all based on how we feel and where our mindset lives.

What I know for sure is this: every thought and emotion carries energy. That energy is broadcast like a signal. And the frequency you emit, that’s what the world reflects back to you. Every time.

I remember scrolling through YouTube last year while at the gym, looking for something, anything, to push me through my workout. I clicked on a random video that ended up changing the direction of my life.

I’ve heard this many times before but not in the words she so simply shared paired with her story. OMG. Now I get it. Sometimes we hear something many times before it’s said in such a way that it clicks for us.

The woman in the video was my age, in her 40s. She had spent most of her adult life homeless. But now she earns millions. She went from sleeping on the floor of an airport to sleeping in a mansion. And when she shared her secret, it hit me like lightning:

“Just become money.”

At first, I paused. Become money? What does that even mean?

But the more she explained, the more it clicked. She wasn’t just talking about physical money, she was talking about embodying the energy, mindset, and frequency of abundance so completely that wealth naturally flows to you. Not just financial wealth, but opportunities, relationships, and experiences.

After retiring from the stunt world and moving to a foreign country, I found myself in an identity crisis. For the first time in nearly two decades, I didn’t know how to answer the question, “What do you do?”

The stress of not knowing, of feeling like I had no clear path forward, consumed me, even though deep down, I knew better. I had done the inner work. But I still felt lost.

And then I remembered her words: Become money. Those two words was all I needed to hear to shift my inner world to in turn, shift my outter world.

It’s about dissolving the internal blocks that keeps us from everything we are meant to have. It’s about stepping into a higher frequency, a version of ourselves that believes in possibility, in overflow, in worthiness.

But here was the catch: I didn’t know how to turn my passion into income. All I knew how to do was hit the ground (literally) and rescue animals.

Still, something inside me shifted. I upgraded my mindset (again). I tuned into a new frequency (again). I reminded myself that life is a school and while the lessons aren’t always easy, they’re always guiding us toward something greater. I have found the power in journaling. Just like in school, taking notes so I don’t forget and watch the process unfold.

Because life is about becoming.

AHA! Becoming more. Becoming clearer. Becoming the version of ourselves that’s aligned with the life we dream of. The beauty of becoming isn’t found in isolated moments, it’s found in the entire process. Everything is connected, woven together by an energy that begins within us.

To me, “becoming money” means self-worth. When you are money, you stop questioning your value. You show up differently. You attract differently. It’s not just spiritual, it’s energetic and practical. When you become something, it has no choice but to find you.

That, to me, is the beauty of becoming: realizing the strength and power that rise when you step into the version of yourself who no longer waits, but creates.

Now take a moment and sit with what I’m about to say:

Money is a mirror.

People are mirrors.

Life is a mirror.

What you believe about yourself is reflected in everything around you. Once I truly understood that, everything changed. I stopped apologizing for who I am. I got clear on what I wanted. I started trusting myself. I elevated my mindset, set intentions, and leapt into the unknown.

And earlier this year, I did something so terrifying it had me in ugly tears for a week. But once I let go and I trusted the loud signs, something beyond my wildest dreams dropped in my lap. Like everything I have been asking the Universe/God for has been there at my finger tips but I wasn’t quite ready for it. Though, all I ever dreamed of was building up waiting for me until I let go of that one thing that was holding me in my emotional past. Within five days, the floodgates opened:

My dream car in Costa Rica.

My dream land in Costa Rica to build my dream house.

And best of all… my dream man. (I only waited 20 years for this!)

It all arrived because I stopped waiting, I let go of what was draining me and I started becoming.

Becoming isn’t about wishing or hoping that your affirmations will magically manifest what you want. It’s about doing the inside work, shifting your mindset, changing your perspective, and realizing that every experience is happening for you, not to you. I stopped waiting and started creating.

Every “life class” you pass leads you closer to who you really are which leads you to what you really want. But are you truly ready?

Let go. LET IT GO! And just stop it. Stop the blaming. Stop the complaining. Creating starts with one thing: Us.

Maybe you’ve heard this all before, or maybe this perspective planted new seeds. My hope for you, is you too, get to experiences the fruits of our mindset shifts and energy recalibrations. Because this shiznit works.
