It is super easy to slip into seeing sales (or lack thereof) as validation that your work is “working.”

Money and resources, the topics I revisit, the topics so close to home. I made my way to my purple cushion, my dog took her place at my knee

In downtown Asheville on a Friday night, you will find a guy with a boa constrictor that you can ask him to hold, for a tip in his money jar. My son and I like to go downtown from time to time on a weekend night, as locals, and do the things that tourists do. And I love to hold the boa. My teenage son does not. A few years ago, I wanted a pet snake. A friend of mine knew a young woman who rescued snakes and had her own traveling reptile exhibit, and she graciously invited

Today I want to talk about interdimensional forces. This is information that I needed along my path that I had to figure out myself and I wish I had known who to talk to about this, how to name it, as well as how to deal with it. It’s something we sense but it’s difficult to name. This took years to navigate and discern, and of course, the topic is in and of itself nebulous and difficult to pinpoint because we’re talking about the unseen realms. I’ll do my best to give a br

I really wanted to call this blog post "I will not talk about spirituality with men and here is why." Jesus at the Gym is catchier. I was sitting in the sauna at the gym, minding my own business, feeling every stretch and breathing into the energy in my body with my eyes closed, post workout. I really appreciate when people keep the public sauna silent. Today this was not happening. One man after another filed in, they all seemed to know one another and it was pretty full in

“No one is coming to save you.” It was early 2018 and I had made a Facebook post with this quote. I was making one of the boldest decisions I’d ever made in my life, to leave my education career and become a coach and founder. At the time, I owned a home as a single woman and mother to a nine year old son. There was a silent trauma going on in the background because I was also going through a super misogynistic experience, losing the opportunity to ease out of my school lead

In every relationship, both partners often crave connection. However, an invisible barrier frequently drives a wedge between them. This...

THE PORTAL ON THE LAND There was an energy portal on this property. One day when we’d first moved in, the three of us, my son included, had a special fire at his fire pit in the center of this big earthly bowl of the property. The entire mountain-top property had a big dip in the center, something that this ecologist ex-partner of mine had said was very unique and the reason he’d bought the house and acreage. As we were sitting at his fire site, pretty much exactly in the ce

The home was on top of a mountain and he owned seven acres of property. Well, the bank owned it, but I had no rights to the property, of course. I was just the girlfriend that had moved in. I had no contract. Women over time have made agreements - both spoken and not, written and not, legal and not - both for love and in exchange for the resources that they and their children have needed. Think about it. In the last three generations of your family, what were the women’s r

Alone in a house for the winter holidays on top of a mountain in rural Marshall, North Carolina, I sat at my computer and opened my...

Last year at this time, I lived beside this overflow at the bottom of the lake and heard this continuous waterfall all of the time. A few months prior to this, a local male elder died who I had always wished I'd known better. When Keith died, I had just gotten back in touch with the circle he was affiliated with and so it was a bit unique that I even knew that he had died. And then, even more unique was that I was welcomed to come to his four day fire and as I sat with his pa

When you’re tired of the nine-to-five, and you have a dream of working for yourself, the go-to strategy is often to become a “coach” in...

"Exchanges" is a new creative project by Sarah Poet. It's a compilation of vignettes about various dynamics of energy exchange, collected through experience, for the reader to contemplate. 1) What was the exchange? 2) What resources - monetary & non-monetary- were involved? 3) What was spoken and what was unspoken about the exchange agreement? I am fascinated by the topic of human exchanges. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. When I’d moved in with D, his bed wa
