In her bestselling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, author Marie Kondo asks us this question and it’s amazing to me just how often I’ve said “No” when asking myself it. And now, I challenge you to ask the same question: What adds spark to your life?

Add Spark to Your Life

Practice letting go of any results and continue to focus on giving 110% of your effort. It’s a way of living where you give everything in life your best effort and then practice being content with the results.

Give your best effort but let go of results, practice contentment.

Letting Go into the Unknown

The lights went up. I came on stage. And before I knew it, there I was bowing before the audience feeling healthy and happy with that high that all actors know comes after a performance. Exhale. The applause died down and with my first step off the stage, I transformed back into my terribly sick self. How could this be? I thought to myself. One minute, I’m sick. The other, I’m healthy, and then I’m sick again?!

What You Focus on Expands

William Blake inevitably died leaving little money to his name, yet his flesh went to the grave while his best work continued to thrive. What can we learn from Blake about living our lives on purpose? Largely criticized and often viewed as mad, Blake produced what now has been pivotal work that shifted how society thinks. Through his work, he showed us the sublime: those divine aspects of life that shake one with terror while equally beholding the majesty of existence.

William Blake's legacy lives on despite his impoverished death, teaching us to live purposefully and appreciate the sublime aspects of life that he captured in his work.

Does this ever happen to you? Perhaps if you work from home like I do much of the year, you also struggle with finding work/life balance when there isn’t a clear punch-in/punch-out clock. So, how does one find focus amid the Sirens of distraction?

Struggling with work/life balance when working from home? Learn how to find focus and overcome distractions in this article.

3 Ways to Find Focus Amid Distraction

“The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.” Let’s dissect Michelangelo’s words and talk a bit about creating art. I mean, what does creating art mean anyway? And why is it important that we all do it?

Michelangelo's words suggest that uncarved marble can hold the form of every thought of an artist, leading to the discussion of the meaning and importance of creating art.

Are You Creating Art?

What I’d like to explore with you today is what I learned in a Jungian analysis workshop I attended in New York and led by certified Jungian analysts, Morgan and Jenn Stebbins. Based on Carl Jung’s exploration of the unconscious, I’d like to leave you with three helpful steps to use the images that arise in your life as a spotlight to brighten your path on purpose.

Learn how to use unconscious images to brighten your path with three helpful steps from a Jungian analysis workshop led by certified analysts.

Unconscious Images To Guide Your Path

I began to see the physical body as a shell that carries us out through life to teach the soul a lesson or a series of lessons. I thought of my studies in anthropology and marketing and how we as a culture have come to behave in a way that favors the physical body and not the soul. We’ve come to think that a commodity will bring happiness when a physical object cannot feed the soul. The soul is only fed when the body follows one’s inspiration. By living inspired one is living “in spirit” and therein walking down its path on purpose.

The physical body is a vessel that teaches the soul lessons, and living inspired feeds the soul, not physical objects.

Today, I’d like to talk about love. No, not the kind of love you’re thinking about. I’m talking about platonic love for the Self and others, and I learned it while on a retreat at Blue Spirit in Costa Rica.

The author talks about the importance of platonic love for ourselves and others, learned during a retreat in Costa Rica.

You Are Not Alone

Compassion for the self moves one further down the hero’s journey. If we disagree with someone, if we feel hurt, or if we love someone and haven’t deeply shared it, we’re not being honest with ourselves. We’re not showing compassion to ourselves. We’re holding ourselves back from truly learning from the experience. And perhaps it’s these lessons that we sometimes need to open a door to the next stage in our journey.

Self-compassion is crucial in progressing through life's challenges and learning from experiences, allowing us to move further along the hero's journey.

Practicing Direct Compassion

Personal writing has often been looked at as the writing to keep to ourselves. What I’d like us to consider is that when we share our personal narratives, we empower others to lift the masks we are so often coerced to wear. By sharing authenticity, we spawn authenticity.

Sharing personal narratives empowers authenticity in others, lifting the masks we are often coerced to wear.

Writing To Uncover The Self

From a behavioral perspective, we’re now spending twenty years (or more) sitting in the classroom. This conditions us to be the receiver of knowledge instead of a creator. It’s why we feel safe in beta-mode or prototyping behind the walls of the classroom, yet terrified to share our work with the world to critique. Now, the real work begins.

Spending 20 years in the classroom conditions us to receive knowledge, but not create; it's time to move from beta-mode to sharing our work with the world.

Unlearning After College

In this talk, I share the other part of the story of Icarus that you likely have never heard. Why? That answer speaks to a larger theme in much of our cultural paradigm.

Growing Your Edge(s)

This talk focuses on building up an accountability system that keeps the creative engine churning. And churning. And churning. Because let’s face it: The truth is that real extraordinary work requires a team. Yes, you are strong on your own. But you are much stronger when you surround yourself with people who build you up.

Building an accountability system that keeps the creative engine churning with a strong team is necessary for producing extraordinary work.

5 Accountability Strings to Pull You Up

This talk explores two simple ways to find the story that drives your decision-making. Most likely unconscious, we all have an internal narrative that either pushes us to grow or holds us back from reaching our unlimited potential. The key is uncovering this story and then re-framing it to serve the unfurling of our greatest Self.

Find and reframe your internal narrative to unlock your unlimited potential.

The Story You Tell Yourself

Aristotle reminds us that “We are what we repeatedly do.” If what we do every day is work so hard that we lose sight of the present, then we enter what Carl Jung called enantiodromia: a.k.a. a mid-life crisis. That’s when one day, says Jung, after many years of working so hard that keeping busy becomes a habit, we lift our heads up from work and wonder where the years have gone.

Aristotle warns that if we repeatedly work so hard that we lose sight of the present, we risk a mid-life crisis, where we wonder where the years have gone.

Avoiding a Mid-Life Crisis

What makes a lotus flower so unique is that it’s a little beautiful bright flower that sits atop the water with roots that travel deep into the muddy muck far below. Its symbolism represents the beauty that can grow out of the muck in our lives. What can it teach us? It turns out, quite a bit.

The lotus flower symbolizes beauty growing from muck, offering valuable life lessons.

Lessons from the Lotus Flower

It’s amazing how the world’s many cultures have defined the transition from childhood to adulthood. Whether it’s a tribal celebration around a bonfire that culminates in a post-pubescent circumcision or donning a long black robe w/ cap and tassel to receive a slip of paper that says “You Are Now Credible”, each culture has attempted to clearly define the transition from childhood to adulthood. Yet, there's an internal shift that needs to occur when we move from a socialized mind to a self-authoring mind. It's just a bit harder than we like to think.

Cultures have different ways of defining the transition into adulthood, but the internal shift from a socialized mind to a self-authoring mind is harder than expected.

With nothing to lose, Leon filled up his motorcycle’s gas tank and set off from his L.A. flat east to New York. The clothes on his back, one tank of gas, a smile on his face: everything else he’d need would have to come through kindness. His goal? Ride across the world. No big deal, right? What he learned on that trip changed the course of his life forever.

Leon set out on a motorcycle journey across the world with just one tank of gas and the kindness of strangers, changing his life forever.

The Kindness Project

Sometimes the path you are currently on (the project you are working on instead of spending time with friends, the work you are doing instead of building your hobby, the children you are raising instead of vagabonding around the world, and so on) is your hero’s journey. It’s a beautiful path that fulfills you without the need to chase FOMO. Sometimes not giving into FOMO allows you to focus on the things that matter most.

Fulfillment can come from the path you are currently on instead of chasing FOMO; focus on what matters most.

The Fear of FOMO

What am I creating? Because you came into this world through creation, in the answer to that question lies your divine-inspired purpose. Your unique life. Your unique beauty. Your unique story. There’s something only you can create. To help break this down a bit, here are three simple steps to answering that question.

Discover your divine-inspired purpose through creation and unleash your unique story with these three simple steps.

One Question for True Purpose

It’s entirely normal for us to run into some sort of wall in our lives, whether that’s in the work that we do or it’s in our personal lives. But how does one break out of a rut and push through personal limitations? In this talk, I offer five considerations.

Breaking personal limitations and pushing through a rut is possible with 5 considerations - a talk summary.

Breaking Through Personal Limitations

In this series, I present a simple technique that will redirect the way the body reacts to the buzz of a notification. That way, you will be able to use what was once a distractor to be a reminder to focus more intently. The journey begins with awareness. We have to become aware of what is really going on. You became aware of it in the previous meditation. During the meditation, you took a look at how your body reacts when the vibrating notification sound occurs. Then you took a look at how the sound interrupts your ability to focus your thoughts. That's step one, awareness. Step two is what we will be taking a look at today: rewiring the body’s reaction.

Learn how to turn notifications from a distractor to a reminder through an awareness technique that rewires the body's reaction.

Rewire

This meditation series is designed to integrate into your everyday experience whenever you feel your ability to focus slipping away. That way you can consistently come back to focus your attention far more than if we simply allow the advertisements to take our mind from us. With that in mind, consider instead of sitting on your meditation pillow or laying down on a yoga mat, completing the meditations and exercises while sitting up, ideally at your office desk. Likewise, I worked with a sound engineer in creating the soundtrack for this course. So do use headphones to get the most out of this experience.

Meditation series for everyday focus; complete exercises sitting up & use headphones for maximum benefit.

Reset

In today's meditation, you're going to be asked to take a look at one specific focus that you have in your life. This could be a personal goal or a professional goal. It may be helpful for you to take a moment before heading into the day’s meditation and ask yourself, “What is really important to me right now that would benefit from greater focus and attention?” You could always change it later on. In fact, the design of this course is so that you can return to it whenever you have a new project you’d like to focus on. You're going to apply The Rooting Technique to this focus. So that after this meditation is over, and you face stress, you'll be able to stay strong. That way, you'll be able to withstand the wind.

Focus on a personal or professional goal in today's meditation using The Rooting Technique to stay strong and withstand stress.

Re-Engage

Today’s practice will focus on your foundation, the root power center. The foundation is what we build upon and is the rock that we stand on. This is vital to staying grounded when our manifestation engine kicks into full gear. By the end of today’s session, you’ll more intimately connect to the root of your being and feel the loving presence of eternal guidance.

Today's practice emphasizes the root power center as the foundation of manifestation, helping you feel more connected to your being and eternal guidance.

Root Into Your Being

Throughout my personal experience as a student of manifestation and my work with others, I’ve come to realize that manifestation is a natural skill, one that each person can hone through dedicated practice and personal willpower. It’s a way of being that allows one to fully honor their soul’s gifts and, for many, bring their greatest work to the world. As you continue throughout this series, be gentle with yourself. This practice is deep and may require you to revisit a meditation before moving on to the next day. Likewise, it may serve you to simply listen through the meditations before actively participating in them.

Manifestation can be honed through practice and willpower, allowing one to fully honor their soul's gifts and bring their greatest work to the world. Be gentle and patient with yourself as you continue to practice.

An Introduction to Manifestation

Today’s practice will focus on your creative power. It is in the sacral power center where desire is power. This is our desire to create in the world, to expand, to grow, to widen further and further into the evolution of being. It thirsts for change. For growth. This is where our ability to sense and feel the world around us stems from. It is a wild force that yearns to feel connected to this human experience and to the more-than-human experience, bridging the sensorial animal world with the flow of spirit. The sacral power center is truly a brave power to fully awaken. By the end of today’s session, you’ll more intimately connect to your sacral power center and feel the interconnectedness of your true creative force.

Today's session focuses on the sacral power center where desire is power, and aims to help you awaken and connect to your true creative force.

Activate Your Creative Power

Over the past several days, you’ve focused on each power center one at a time to create balance in your overall manifestation system. This helps one stay rooted throughout the manifestation journey. Now that the system is primed, it is time to send out your manifestation signal. Remember that manifestation is a two-way exchange. You send out a signal to Source who then provides you with opportunities to manifest your reality. In today’s session, we’ll explore the first part. You’ll tune inward and prime your manifestation signal. The first part of sending out your manifestation signal requires you to identify what you wish to manifest into your life and then feel deeply into the sensorial experience of this manifestation.

Achieving balance in your manifestation system, it's time to send out your signal by identifying what you want to manifest and feeling deeply into it.

Tune Your Manifestation Signal

Today’s practice will focus on your spiritual power. It is in the crown power center where our deepest power is born. This is our connection to Source, the knowledge of pre-birth, the amorphous spiritual ocean of knowledge we are born out of. This is the place of eternal wisdom, deeper knowing, of sacred consciousness. When we activate this power center, our ability to see the interconnectedness of everything comes into crystal clear focus. And it is this clarity that allows our manifestation engine to see every obstacle in our lives as an opportunity for spiritual growth. When we live from this power center, we transcend the egoic attachment to the physical body and the pain that arises through living a whole life.

Activate your spiritual power in the crown power center to see interconnectedness clearly, overcome obstacles, and transcend egoic attachment to the physical body.

Connect with Your Source

So far in this series, you’ve intimately connected with each of your power centers and combined them into a daily ritual that activates your manifestation engine. So what’s next? In this session, you’ll learn about the Law of Action and be able to sense when you are being presented with a door of opportunity. This is where manifestation can become challenging because we can get in our way. Manifestation is a two-way exchange. As we further hone our manifestation engine, we send out a signal and then are guided to opportunities that allow the manifestation to unfurl into present reality. This is The Law of Action. We are offered opportunities to do the work necessary to manifest our unlimited potential.

Activate your manifestation engine by connecting with your power centers, learning the Law of Action, and seizing opportunities for growth and potential.

The Law of Action

Today’s practice will focus on confident and clear communication. In the power center of the throat, we learn to communicate our deeper knowledge to the world. It begins to unfurl during early adolescence when much of our communication patterns are formed. So it’s no wonder some struggle to communicate as adults if they were shamed for speaking their truth during their adolescence. Balancing the throat center is an art. Too much focus on speaking up can be too forceful and one’s efforts to be heard fall on deaf ears. Not speaking enough leaves your gifts trapped inside.

Practice confident communication by balancing the throat center; too much or too little speaking limits effective communication.

Align Your Voice

Today’s practice will focus on aligning your purpose with your strength of will. This is where the magic occurs. Harnessed in the solar plexus, this power center is where we turn internal awareness into external action. We move beyond feeling and sensing the world around us and through us and into an active creator of the world. There’s an element of fire here, of not just desire, but the vitality and confidence to do something with the desire. This is a place of action. Of determination. Of leaning in with tremendous courage into our purpose. And something really powerful happens here. When our solar plexus power center is in alignment, there’s a beautiful dance that occurs between our internal intuition and external perception.

Align your purpose with your strength of will in the solar plexus for a powerful combination of internal intuition and external action.

Align Your Purpose

Today’s practice will focus on intuitive guidance. The intuitive power center often referred to as the third eye, is the eye that sees when the other eyes are closed. It’s a deeper way of seeing, of following a path that you and only you can walk down. This is the land of imagination, of guides, of navigating between two worlds. When this power center is fully aligned, manifestation feels like a smooth flow, a sacred dance with mystery and her mysterious secrets. Acting from this power center will almost certainly bring about challenges, especially if your actions run counter to the cultural norm or your family’s traditions. Yet, once this power center is activated, there’s no other way to live than to trust in Source for divine guidance.

Practice focusing on intuitive guidance through the third eye, bringing alignment and manifestation in a sacred dance with mystery and challenges.

Align Your Intuition

Today’s practice will focus on the heart. This power center is unlike others in that it is the meeting place between two worlds: the spiritual and the physical. It’s through the heart that we make sense of life. It’s this deep love that guides us into a deeper knowing of who we are in our lives. Activating the heart power center is one of balance. Giving too much love without being open to receiving it leaves one feeling depleted and alone. Receiving without giving leaves the world around you feeling depleted. The heart is a two-way exchange full of compassion, self-acceptance, and healthy relationships.

Practice focusing on the heart, the meeting place of spiritual and physical worlds, for balance in giving and receiving love and forming healthy relationships.

Align Your Heart

Today’s practice will focus on putting it all together into a daily ritual to fully activate your manifestation engine. Take the time to activate each power center, to connect with Source, so that your natural ability to manifest your unlimited potential leads you to further clarity, to a deeper knowing, and to a symbiosis that creates waves of awe and wonder.

Activate your manifestation engine by connecting with Source and each power center to unlock your unlimited potential and experience clarity and wonder.

The 5-Minute Ritual

In this 5-minute meditation, you're guided through a series of visualizations that you can practice on your own or use as a tool when leading a gathering where you want people to drop in and be deeply present with one another.

Awaken The Father King

Fathering yourself means stepping into the role of the wise, protective, loving father for your inner child. It means permitting yourself to feel, to heal, and to grow into the man you were meant to be. Many men try to push past their childhood wounds. And this works for some time, but what I've come to learn is as the old saying goes, what we resist, persists.

Embrace self-fathering to heal childhood wounds and grow into the man you're meant to be, as resisting only makes issues persist.

The Leaders Path to Fathering Yourself

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying weight that isn’t yours, this is for you.

Uncover generational trauma, break free from inherited patterns, and release burdens not meant for you in this insightful talk.

Breaking Free of Generational Trauma

Boundaries are not walls; they are the rivers that shape the land, the sacred lines that honor both self and others. To say no is not to reject—it is to make space for what is deeply, undeniably yes. In this guided session, leadership coach Mark Guay invites you into the deeper currents of boundary-setting—not as a mere skill, but as a rite of passage. Through embodied practice and self-inquiry, you will learn to hear the quiet voice of your knowing, to distinguish between obligation and devotion, and to wield no as a sword of clarity rather than a shield of avoidance. Step into the wild terrain of your sovereignty. Honor your time, your energy, and the life that is waiting for you on the other side of over-commitment.

Embrace boundaries as sacred rivers, distinguishing between obligation and devotion to honor self and others in a session with Mark Guay.
