🍄 The Let Me Theory Hi Reader, After last week’s Let Them newsletter, a few of you wrote back and let me know that the idea resonated with you. The idea was simple but deep: Let other people make their choices and live their lives, and stop making it your job or responsibility to manage or control what they are doing. I mentioned the book that inspired the newsletter, The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. Turns out the book is actually in two parts. Let Them, and... Let Me. Let Them is about...

🍄 The Let Them Theory Hi Reader, I was walking past Waterstones the other day when I spotted a book in the window called The Let Them Theory. The title caught my attention. It reminded me of a psychedelic journey I had some years ago, one that gave me a message so clear I couldn’t ignore it. The message was: It’s time to stop being around this person. It was as clear as day, a 'directive' from the mushroom (and/or my wisest self), as we sometimes receive them. Simply put, the person was...

🍄 Tiny Dreams, True North Hi Reader, If the dream feels too big, make it smaller. Not because you’re giving up on it. But because you’re ready to live a piece of it now. And maybe finally letting it start.There’s a well-known idea in habit-building: Make it so easy you can’t say no. Don’t commit to running 5k—put on your shoes and walk around the block.Don’t meditate for an hour—breathe for two minutes.Write one sentence instead of a full journal entry. We know that works for habits. But it...

🍄 This isn't a productivity hack Hi Reader, It’s Easter weekend. A time that holds its own strange, spacious kind of energy—part reflection, part renewal. And whether you’re spending it solo, with family, in ritual, or half-asleep under a tree, here’s a reminder for you and I: Not everything has to be productive.Not everything has to move the needle.Not everything has to become something. Sometimes you can just do a thing… because it brings you back to yourself. I love working on meaningful...

🍄 Your Ideal Day Hi Reader, We’re in week 9 of The Artist’s Way now with the Inspiration Alchemy cohort, and I’ve gotta say, it’s been great to be back in this process. I’ve done it once before, and this time in community, I've been reminded why I loved it so much. There’s just so much good stuff in here. Not always easy stuff, some exercises bring up old patterns, tender spots, resistance. I’ve seen that come up for a few people recently. But there’s also this undeniable spark that keeps...

🍄 Let's Shape What's Next (Together) Hi Reader, I’ve been feeling a shift lately, like I’m stepping into a new chapter with my work. Still rooted in psychedelics, personal growth, and creative expression, but opening up to more ways I can support you and others on the path. To help shape what’s next, I’ve put together a short, friendly survey. I’d love to know where you’re at—what you’re exploring, creating, craving—and how I can best support your journey. 👉 Take the survey here As a thank...

🍄 Morning Pages, Evolved Hi Reader, As you probably know, I’m part of the team currently running Inspiration Alchemy, a 12-week psychedelic-friendly journey through The Artist’s Way. A big part of this process is Morning Pages—daily, free-form journaling that helps clear the mind, unlock creativity, and process emotions. But here’s the thing: life gets busy. Between helping run this course, my own projects, and everything going on with my mum, I’ve found it hard to keep up with all the...

🍄 Leaps of Faith & Growth Hi Reader, “Any progress is made by leaps of faith, some small and some large.” – Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way, Week Five We’re almost halfway through Inspiration Alchemy, now in week five, and the quote above was from this week’s reading of The Artist's Way. It reminded me how often growth is about stepping outside our comfort zones and taking leaps of faith. Putting ourselves out there, and sometimes expanding beyond what feels safe. Sometimes we feel bold, we...

🍄 Seeing for the Last Time Hi Reader, In Buddhist and psychedelic circles, we often hear about Beginner’s Mind. The practice of seeing things as if for the first time, with fresh eyes. It can be a powerful tool for mindfulness, bringing us into the present and deepening our connection to life. But what about the opposite? What if, instead of seeing things as if for the first time, we practiced seeing them as if for the last time? This has been on my mind lately—impermanence, goodbyes, the...
