OwlSeek

You might know how you feel (or not) or just know you want to feel differently but can’t explain it.

Sometimes we just need new words. New words to describe how we feel. That’s all we need to start a new path.

Every week two things happen consistently. I speak to men who tell me they have reached the pinnacle of success, and feel empty and dead inside. And, I speak to men who approach me in public and state they read all my posts and follow my stuff - but never like or comment - yet want to deep dive into the content and messaging because it ‘hit deep’.

Sometimes culture changes are like a jacket that doesn’t fit anymore. We force it on, like a chase. We try to keep up in everyone in their same color jackets doing the same system and process things (think old boys club), and you don’t fit anymore.

It’s ok, and it’s a journey to a new way on a new path. It doesn’t mean you’re not where you’re supposed to be, it might me the future looks differently than you thought it would. And that’s ok.

Hope is not a strategy

In my book I write a lot about hope, my hope for you. That you find your inner Owl, advisors and people (and therapists)!

That you remember healing in nature is free, and we can all start there 🌲

As a strategist, I can tell you hope will only get you so far. Effort and action, now those are two different things 🦉 read more in Knowings

The OwlSeek Method is a deeply deeply personal journey that I developed through a lot of failures, successes, confusion, that burning desire to serve where I’m called, …and curiosity of feminine identity post surgeries and children. As I listened, this was also the journey of hundreds of clients.

The Nest is what was created and is where we meet. It’s an intentional community that starts Oct 9th. It’s a gathering place for those who want to dive deeper with me, do the work, and change.

The four week program has recorded lectures, live classes, Q&A workshop classes, access to me for questions, and worksheets and resources to guide your journey back to what you’re called to do.

Our incredible team put this video together a year ago and I’ve never shared it! Listen to hear more about what the OwlSeek Method is

It's time for another intense in person workshop coming up. May 16th or 25th (a Thursday or a Saturday) from 10am - 2pm in Cochrane at my friend Sheena's space, Elleten Recovery Manor.

Together we have partnered up to create this day to 'Get It Together'. Think mastermind meets mental health check up to get your blocks out of your way (you, get you out of your way) and create an actionable plan to move forward with.

This is for men, women, people. You get a 30-min mental health check up with Sheena (registered psychotherapist) in the days before the workshop, and a strategy session with me post-workshop.

Tickets are only $497 and we have limited spots available. Questions? Reach out and ask away!

See you soon

Time takes time. Hardest personal and business lesson to learn, and unlearn. As we cannot force a flower to flower faster, we cannot rush natural processes and expect the same beautiful outcome on our time.

Unlearning is one of the hardest things to do. We have to check our fears, what we tried to force, where our ego is trying to hold old ways, if we have the courage to see another way, and then we can get to the other side and start to feel different and do different by testing and pivoting and changing.

When following a plan for change, it’s about sticking to the plan. Ask any fitness trainer, cookbook author, investment banker or business owner about the important of a plan, they will tell you that you plan to succeed or plan to fail, and how you feel along the way is where the real work shows up.

And to the naysayers, I leave with this. I know we can force our way and our will with synthetic injections and processes that create fake real things. I know we can modify genetics and food and people, and that’s why everyone has a choice.

Nature speaks, and if you listen differently with the , you’ll hear callings in a new way. Callings are messages.

Messages for life.
Messages for work.
Messages for others.
Messages for you to keep for yourself.
Messages for metaphors to teach.
Messages for inspiring art.
Messages for….

Today it spoke to co-creating.
There were five eagles in this tree today, and the power couple of two juveniles and another eagle made their presence known through their inner brilliance shining out.

Growth is our constant companion.

With each passing year, we add another layer to our story, marking the chapters that shape us in our own unique way.

Just like a tree deeply rooted in the earth, we too have our roots — anchors that connect us to our past, shape our present and influence our growth into the future. 🌿

Our roots are the invisible threads weaving through the soil of our history.

They anchor us during storms and nourish our spirit.

Just as a tree's rings recount its story, our growth rings unfold the stories of triumph, perseverance and self-discovery.

Maybe you can draw inspiration from these stories of trees:

🌴 Palm Tree, Mexico: Growth moves in unique patterns, each ring a testament to the heights we've reached.

🌲 Cedars, Vancouver: Growth is a story of standing tall through seasons of change.

🌳 Old Cut, Kananaskis Lake Trail: Even after a cut, the trees persist. Our growth, too, is marked by resilience — a testament to our ability to rise after setbacks.

🌲 Cedar, Emerald Lake, BC: Whospers tales of wisdom. As we explore our growth, let's reflect on the rings we've accumulated.

Where do you see soulful possibilities for growth in your unique story? 👇🏻

It’s within us. This conceptual framework we create in our minds.

We visualize and articulate our aspirations, goals and desired outcomes for the life we imagine. Then, we construct it, this physical and tangible collection of our visions, in a collage.

Vision boards are powerful tools for manifesting dreams and goals. By using images, words and affirmations, we create our visual representation of our aspirations, a reminder, aligning our thoughts and intentions. It can encompass visual, written, or simply inspirational elements that inspire action forward. ⭐️

If you had a vision (either imagined or physical) of what you had planned for this year, but it didn’t transpire, let’s start visualizing it for next year.

There is time to cultivate what may not have happened, into what will happen in 2024. 🗓

What will be on your board? 👇🏻
