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?

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?!

Actress experiences temporary relief from illness on stage but reverts to sickness upon leaving, leading to confusion and concern.

What You Focus on Expands

“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.

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.

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.

Unconscious Images To Guide Your Path

That critical voice in your head isn’t the enemy—it’s a part of you that’s trying to help, just in a harsh and outdated way. Rooted in the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS), this session will guide you from battling your inner critic to leading it with curiosity, compassion, and awakening courage. You’ll explore where this voice comes from, what it truly wants, and how to transform it into an ally instead of an obstacle. Step into greater confidence, clarity, and self-trust by learning to lead your inner world.

Transform your inner critic into an ally with Internal Family Systems, leading with curiosity and compassion for greater self-confidence and trust.

Taming The Inner Critic: An IFS Approach

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.

Fear is not an obstacle to overcome but a guide leading you toward deeper strength and authenticity. When resisted, fear creates tension, exhaustion, and avoidance. But when approached with curiosity and courage, it becomes a gateway to transformation. This guided experience invites you to step onto the warrior’s path, where fear is no longer the enemy but a messenger calling you into greater awareness and power. Through visualization and reflection, you will explore the hidden wisdom within your fear, learning to move beyond survival mode and into a place of embodied courage.

Embrace fear as a guide to inner strength and authenticity, transforming it into courage on the warrior's path through visualization and reflection.

The Warrior’s Path Through Fear

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

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

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

Why do we pull back when joy expands within us? Many of us have an invisible limit on how much happiness we allow ourselves to feel before guilt or self-sabotage creeps in. We downplay success, create unnecessary struggles, or convince ourselves we don’t deserve ease. This talk explores how to recognize and expand that limit, so we can hold more joy, lead with presence, and show our children that happiness is not something to fear—it’s something to embrace.

Embrace joy and expand happiness by recognizing and overcoming invisible limits that hold us back from experiencing true fulfillment.

Expanding Your Capacity for Happiness

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

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.

Create Your Own Credibility

True power is knowing who you are and standing in it—without shrinking, without puffing up. It is the steady presence of a father who does not demand respect but earns it. It is the humility to kneel, the strength to stand, and the wisdom to know when to do both. In this reflection, I share what it means to live with power and grace and lead with courage and humility. To raise children who are strong but not hardened, confident but not arrogant. To walk the path of true strength—one that does not cling does not grasp, but simply is. Because real power does not need to be proven. It needs to be lived.

True power is knowing yourself, standing tall without arrogance, leading with courage and humility, raising strong yet humble children.

What It Means To Be Truly Powerful

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

What if the struggles you face today aren’t just yours—but echoes of past generations? What if the patterns of emotional suppression, fear, or scarcity weren’t born with you but were passed down, unspoken, from those who came before? In this talk, I dive deep into the hidden inheritance of generational trauma and, more importantly, how to break free. 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

So many of us were taught that love had to be earned through good grades, good behavior, or constant achievement. Over time, this belief quietly disconnects us from our true worth.

Ideal for parents, leaders, and anyone healing from people-pleasing, perfectionism, or fear of not being enough. Let this be your reminder: You don’t have to earn love. You are loved.

Growing Your Edge(s)

So many of us were taught that being a good leader, father, and man means putting everyone else first—until there’s nothing left. But real leadership doesn’t come from burnout, it comes from presence. In this talk, we’ll explore what it means to lead from wholeness, not depletion. You’ll learn to show up for yourself so you can show up fully for others—with strength, clarity, and an open heart. Because the people who matter most don’t need you running on empty—they need you here.

As we grow, bringing awareness to the gifts hidden within these shadows allows us to move past blocks and step into our full potential, both personally and professionally, as we face new challenges.

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

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.
