This space was birthed from a lifetime of transformation. I know what it feels like to shed old skins again and again: - Transitioning my gender. - Shifting from “untranslatable” careers—caregiving, stripping, dog walking, budtending—into software engineering and entrepreneurship. - Alchemizing childhood and adult trauma into raw power. - Transforming a decade-long friendship into a love that could last forever. Each time, I entered the cocoon not knowing who I’d be on the other side—only trusting that change was necessary. This is what the Butterfly Portal is about: A place to honor the cocoon, to break open, and to fly. What You’ll Find Here 🌑 The Cocoon: a space to share where you are and what you’re leaving behind. ꩜ Metamorphosis: lessons, tools, and stories to guide you through your own transformations. 🦋 The Flight: wins, breakthroughs, and living proof that change is possible. What I Ask of You - Show up with honesty, even if it’s raw. - Celebrate your wins, big and small. - Honor others’ transformations as sacred. This is not just a community. It’s a portal. And once you step through, you’re never the same.

Welcome to the Cocoon, the beginning of every transformation. The Cocoon is where stillness lives. It’s where the old dissolves before the new can emerge. It can feel heavy, uncertain, or even endless—but it is always sacred. This space is here to hold you as you arrive. Before the breakthroughs, before the flight, we honor the moment of becoming. 🌑 What to Share Here - Who you are and what brought you into the Butterfly Portal. - The season of transformation you’re currently moving through. - What you’re ready to shed, and what you hope to grow into.
