I’ve been thinking a lot about the wild rose lately. The medicine is in her wildness. Wild roses weren’t bred to impress us. No one spent generations asking them to make bigger flowers, produce more petals, bloom in precisely the right color, or conform to what humans decided a rose should look like. They had another job: Survive. And so the wild rose developed accordingly. She has thorns to protect herself. She can grow in places that aren’t perfectly prepared for her. Her simple, open flowers offer pollen to visiting insects rather than hiding everything beneath layer upon layer of petals. And after the petals fall, she doesn’t become useless. She makes rose hips — little fruits that are naturally rich in vitamin C and other plant compounds and have a long history of use as food and traditional herbal preparations. Even her thickets can become shelter and habitat for wildlife. Her gifts aren’t separate from her wildness. Her wildness is part of the gift. And I can’t stop thinking about how much that resembles us. How much energy do we spend trying to cultivate ourselves into something more acceptable? Be quieter. Be prettier. Be easier. Don’t take up too much space. Don’t trust that intuition. Don’t say the strange thing you know. Don’t grow over there. Don’t have thorns. Bloom when you’re supposed to bloom. In psychology, we often talk about adaptation — the ways we learn to survive our environments. But healing can also involve asking: What did I have to prune away in order to belong? Because somewhere underneath everything we’ve been trained to become, there may still be something ancient in us. Something instinctive. Something that knows when to bloom and when to protect itself. Something capable of surviving imperfect soil. Something that doesn’t require permission to grow. Something wildly undomesticatable. 🌸 This idea has become deeply woven into the book I’m finishing right now — and, because apparently writing a book wasn’t enough for me 😂, I’ve started working on some Wildly Undomesticatable merch too.

Be ✨Vampire Proof ✨ Vampire Proof is manipulation proof. And best way to achieve that--- know and heal yourself before they find your own weaknesses and try to use them against you 🗡️🛡️ All of the audiobooks and the Ascension Psychology training heal what is in the subconscious mind- so "vampires" can't lurk there and neither can programs that interfere with the life you are focused on creating.

This fall, the Human Potential Ascension Lab / Ascension Psychology is going a little darker, a little stranger, and a lot more fun. 🥀🧛‍♀️ I just finished my Wild Rose protection cards, and I’m also working on a modern folklore book that explores vampire history through a different lens: History was told by the vampires. The Rememberers know what happened. And it’s up to you to decide where reality ends and imagination begins. Through the rest of September and October, we’re going to see this theme. We’ll explore the symbolism of vampires, glamour, confusion, manipulation, and the ways people can become disconnected from their own truth. Because one of the most powerful forms of protection is learning how to recognize what is yours, what isn’t, and where your subconscious patterns may make you easier to influence. And of course healing them so you are Vampire-Proof. The more grounded you are in your truth, the harder it is for anyone—or anything—to pull you away from yourself. There will be wild roses, folklore, psychology, consciousness, spiritual symbolism, and maybe a few surprises. And just wait until you see the gear I’m working on. 😂 It’s going to be a very fun fall inside the Human Potential Ascension Lab. Any guesses on what we will dress up as this holiday?

I think what people describe as “psychic attack” is far more common than many realize. Sometimes it may look like unhealed generational trauma getting activated. Sometimes it feels like we’ve picked up something that simply isn’t ours. And within many spiritual traditions, people have also understood these experiences through the language of attachments, curses, hexes, spells, or other forms of spiritual interference. Whatever framework you use, I believe being spiritually and psychologically fit matters. I’ve worked with people who can walk into a bar, a crowded environment, or an emotionally charged situation feeling perfectly fine—and come home feeling completely unlike themselves. Heavy. Drained. Agitated. Foggy. Sometimes, within my spiritual work, that means we explore whether there is something that needs to be cleared or extracted. Other times, something unhealed has simply been activated and is asking for attention. One of the solutions I teach is: What can actually be hooked into? Usually, there is already an opening somewhere—a wound, fear, unresolved trauma, inherited pattern, unconscious belief, or place where we have become disconnected from ourselves. That’s why I don’t think spiritual protection is only about putting up energetic shields. It is also about healing. Healing the personal trauma. Healing the ancestral trauma. Strengthening the nervous system. Understanding the subconscious mind. Learning discernment. Developing spiritual practices that keep you grounded, clear, and connected to the source of all creation- God or whichever name you prefer. The more whole we become, the less there is for something outside of us to manipulate. So I’m curious: How do you know when something feels like more than an ordinary bad mood or stressful day? And what is your go-to practice for clearing yourself and coming back into alignment? This is also a big part of why I created the Ascension Psychology Training. It’s an integrative approach to understanding trauma, consciousness, subconscious programming, ancestral patterns, energetic and spiritual healing, and how we become strong enough in ourselves to eventually help other people do the same.

When life gets hard, our world can start to contract. We stay home more. We repeat the same routines. We talk to fewer people. We conserve our energy. Sometimes we just want to build a cocoon around ourselves until everything feels safe again. And sometimes, that cocoon is exactly what we need for a while. But there can also come a point when healing asks us to begin opening the world back up. Go somewhere you normally wouldn’t go. Meet someone for coffee. Walk through a different neighborhood. Sit outside instead of inside. Take the longer way home. Say yes to something small. It sounds simple, but changing the environment changes what your mind and body have available to respond to. Movement gives energy somewhere to go. New experiences interrupt old loops. Other people remind us that the painful thing happening in our lives is not the entirety of life. And when we make our world a little bigger, we make room for something else to enter it. Joy. Connection. An idea. An opportunity. A conversation we didn’t know we needed. There are periods in life that can feel almost like an existential death — when an identity, relationship, future, or version of ourselves is disappearing. Part of moving through those seasons is allowing something new to begin taking shape. Sometimes that starts with something surprisingly ordinary: Get dressed. Leave the house. Go somewhere different. Let life surprise you again. Happy Soulful Sunday 🤍
