Have you ever felt torn between different parts of yourself? I know I have. In this episode, I explore the power of embracing duality — allowing all the different sides of us to coexist. We often think we need to be one thing, but in reality, it’s the contradictions and complexities that make us unique and whole.
I share how, as content creators and entrepreneurs, we get caught in labels and expectations, but it’s when we embrace our full spectrum — both the messy and beautiful parts — that we connect most deeply with others. Through personal reflections, I introduce the “six P’s of Duality” and how they can align us with our true purpose. Passion, Power, People, Prism, Pregnable, and Purpose — each one plays a role in embracing who we truly are.
It’s time to stop hiding the parts of ourselves we think don’t fit, and start showing up as our authentic, multifaceted selves. Let’s create connections by being unapologetically real.

What’s the key to creating content that truly connects with your audience – without getting lost in the noise of social media trends? In this episode, I share the art of crafting authentic content for your audience, rather than just chasing the algorithm. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest trends and viral strategies, but the real magic happens when your content resonates on a deeper level.
I’ll share my thoughts on what we should spend less time on, like trendy reels, hashtags, and chasing perfection, and what we should focus more on—building real connections, creating meaningful content, and showing up as our authentic selves. Through personal experiences and practical tips, I’ll explain how understanding your ideal customer (your ‘Claire’) can elevate your content strategy and help you stand out.
If you’re tired of cookie-cutter content that feels hollow, this episode will help you reclaim your voice and create value-driven posts that speak directly to your followers. It’s all about authenticity, realness, and providing something of value that your audience can trust and engage with.

How would your business and personal life change if you no longer felt the need to impress others? In this episode, I dive deep into the “emperor epidemic”—a term that reflects the ego-driven, overinflated marketing and leadership approach that many entrepreneurs fall into. I explore how embracing vulnerability, authenticity, and soulfulness can be the true secret to lasting success.
I challenge the common “boss babe” mentality that often encourages perfectionism and projecting an inflated image. Instead, I share how these pressures can lead to burnout and a sense of emptiness. By letting go of the masks and embracing your authentic self, you can build deeper, more meaningful connections with your clients and create a business that feels true to you—one that lasts and nurtures you along the way.
This conversation isn’t just about business—it’s about shifting towards a world that celebrates empathy and authenticity. I’ll share how by aligning your marketing and business practices with these values not only benefits you, but creates a ripple effect that empowers everyone around you. You don’t need to compete, be perfect, or perform. True leadership lies in embracing your truth and discovering the incredible strength that comes with softness and vulnerability.

In this episode, I reflect on the significance of these last days, encouraging listeners to see each day as an opportunity for intentional progress, rather than waiting for January 1st to make meaningful changes.
I introduce my membership community, Empress, and announce our December launch with two distinct approaches: a “14-day fire up” for those looking to start the new year with energy, and a “two-week wind down” for those who prefer a slower, reflective pace. I share the pressures and joys of the holiday season, sharing ways to balance year-end responsibilities with personal reflections and setting clear intentions for the coming year.
You are invited to think about your own goals and how to approach these last few days of 2024 with purpose, whether it’s building momentum for new projects or simply enjoying the festive season mindfully.

In this special episode of M Path, I’m celebrating a meaningful milestone: the birthday of The Feral Writer and opening up about my journey, sharing the origins of my brand, and reflecting on the life changes that led me here.
Back when I had a thriving marketing career and a line-up of high-profile clients, everything seemed perfect on the surface. But something was missing. I felt detached, and the endless push for growth didn’t align with my creative spirit. Everything changed when I became a mother, forcing me to confront questions about my purpose and identity. I ultimately walked away from it all, choosing authenticity over the “perfect” life. That leap sparked the creation of The Feral Writer, where I could help creatives find their true voices in a noisy world.
In the spirit of celebration, I’m offering ten exclusive gifts throughout the week—from popular course bundles and e-books to a brand-new offering in predictive astrology. Each day unveils new opportunities to engage with resources that support your creative journey.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly hustling, yet getting nowhere? In this episode of M Path, I expore the counterintuitive concept of "treading water" in business. While the world tells us that success comes from non-stop grinding, what if the secret to real progress is actually found in moments of stillness?
Inspired by leaders like Bill Gates and his famed “think weeks,” I explore the power of intentional pauses. Forget about busy holidays; this is about carving out space to disconnect, recharge, and reflect—away from the constant buzz of emails and social media. In a world where we can barely last six minutes without checking our phones, this episode challenges the notion that busyness equals productivity.
I also break down the idea of realignment, encouraging you to reassess your goals and routines, shed what no longer serves you, and step into a more purposeful way of working. From tech-free days to setting clear boundaries with clients, we offer actionable steps to help you embrace the clarity that comes from slowing down.

What does it really mean to serve others, and how can we do it without burning ourselves out? In this final episode of the Autumn of Realignment series, I explore the fifth and final rule: serving. Over the past weeks, I’ve touched on energy, inspiration, action, and promotion. Now, it all comes together with serving—the practice that ties everything into a balanced and fulfilling life.
I dive into how true service isn’t just about giving to others—it starts with cultivating our own energy and grounding ourselves before we can genuinely help those around us. If you've ever felt drained from giving too much too soon, you’ll understand why self-care and boundaries are key to sustainable service. From serving your audience with valuable content to enriching your customers' experiences, and—perhaps most importantly—learning how to serve yourself, I share the layers of what it really means to live in service.
