(I mean the guy at the store who kept my Coca-Cola cold and ready every night.) Although now that I think about it... the dynamic was pretty much the same. I showed up every night. He had exactly what I needed. I paid. I left feeling good. And the next morning, I was a mess. Classic dealer behaviour. Anyway. That's not the story. A few weeks ago, I made a decision that felt small but turned out to be massive. I quit Coca-Cola. For a month. For a long time, I thought something was seriously wrong with me every morning. Not "I'm a little tired" wrong. The kind of wrong where you sit down to work and an hour disappears, and you have nothing to show for it. I couldn't focus. I was disoriented. My thinking was slow. My output was suffering. And I couldn't figure out why. So I tried everything. Meditation. Exercise. Coffee. Cold showers. Supplements. All of it. Nothing moved. Someone then suggested I quit sodas. I almost laughed. You're telling me the answer to my problems is... the can of Coke I've been drinking for as long as I can remember? So eventually, out of pure frustration, I cut the Coke. Not because I believed it would work. Because I had run out of other things to try. A few days in, I noticed I was getting things done. Fast. Before I'd even fully registered that I was awake. Tasks I used to grind through all morning were done before 10am. Now, I'm not here to cancel Coca-Cola or anything. My body just decided to wage a private war against it without telling me. But here's what I am saying: We all have a Coke. Something we love. Something that's become such a fixture we'd never think to question it. Something that feels like comfort, while it quietly takes the edge off everything we're trying to build. We don't find it by adding more systems or habits. We find it by listening to our bodies. Right now, I'm quitting sodas for good, and I'm also cutting out all processed food. My new rule: if it wouldn't exist on a shelf 100 years ago, it's not going into my body.

Hey there you beautiful amazing goblins. I wanted to express that, first, I have no words for how much I have learned so far in my time here. From the founders of this soace and from you, the members. I love you all and I have deeply cherished having the honor of modding this space for @Bill Widmer and @Rex Loyer and helping you all to build something of the connections which I have seen blossom. You all have helped me blossom in ways I cannot even begin to express and describe, as well... And because of that blossoming, I have decided to step down from moderating and just be a community dweller while I focus on my own business and personal growth alongside you.....present much more in the way I was in my early days here 🌿 The future is bright, for all of you. And these men both have some amazing things in store. God, I cannot wait to see all the ways this space and everyone who is a part of it, continue to grow and develop throughout this next year and beyond. As for me, I will be digging deeper into my own studies so that I can be a better advocate, care providerr, and teacher within my own lane. You'll be seeing more reflections from me in the future. And im still cheering each and every one of you on every day, even if I'll sometimes be more quiet while doing so 💖

We're overwhelmed with notifications. Social media, email, texts, Skool, apps... What are the things you regularly check? What do you ignore? Do you have any "sacred" inboxes? Asking because I've been considering starting a newsletter, and I'm curious how people are about their inboxes in this community. Also just super curious. :)

Heyooo! Come join us to build some momentum for your week, you're more than welcome to join at anytime! (11am-1pm EST) Co-working is happening now. :D Rex

How many of you work in 'normal' 9-5 working hours? Does that mean that when the clock hits 5pm your brain switches off and all creativity stops? We live in a world where productivity is defined by how much time and energy to put into something, even if it means you're burning out. This is where ADHD really shines as a super power. Many of us work in irregular times-I personally get sparks of creativity just as I start preparing for bed. Why is that? Because my brain has less pressure and distractions as the night slowly quiets. It has taken a while for me to unlearn that when these boosts of creativity hit, I must follow them. It's in fact the energy that I was pushing the whole day that now has the space to speak and be heard. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean getting out of bed and 'burning the midnight oil', your body and brain still need the rest. But just like Rick Rubin says, use the energy whenever it comes and follow it until you feel satisfied. You can dive into the details behind the creativity in your 'normal' work day, but don't force yourself to sleep when you're getting fuelled with great ideas before bed. There is so much more I can say on this, but let's use the comments to discuss further x
