So you're feeling nervous.
This is where we'll start.
A gentle nudge:
Open your notes app. Write one sentence about what you're building and why. That's your anchor when everything feels like too much.
Heart first. Structure second.

Think about your business.
What's the first feeling?
Nervous
You can't move. Every decision feels massive. Your nervous system is on high alert, making it hard to think clearly or take the first step.
Shadow States are emotional currents that pull you under. They're not bad. They're signals showing you what needs attention.
Not sure
what you're
feeling?
That's okay. Sometimes it's hard to name what's going on inside. The words will come — let's start with some questions.
The Motion Ocean
A vast spectrum of feelings lives here — more than just "stressed" or "stuck." There are words for exactly what you're experiencing.
Let's find them.

I built this because I needed it first.
I've been the overwhelmed dreamer — full of ideas, paralyzed by where to start. For a long time, I thought I needed better strategy. A clearer plan.
But the real block? The confusion I felt inside was showing up in everything I built. My business felt disconnected because I felt disconnected.
So I created The Motions — a framework for understanding what's really happening beneath the surface. It helped me get grounded first. Now it's how I help you do the same.
When you're clear on the inside, your brand finally makes sense on the outside.

Before you get too deep...
There's something you should know about the tools I use and how I think about them.

Let's Work TogetherOn AI & the tension I'm in
I use AI tools (Claude for internal workflows, occasional image generation) because I find them helpful. But I'm not comfortable pretending that's the whole story.
AI is built on the exploitation of artists and creators. It has environmental costs. It can perpetuate harm against marginalized communities. My intentions aren't malicious, but the nature of these tools is predatory—so the impact is misaligned with my intentions. I'm figuring out how to navigate that.
Here's what I can commit to right now:
-
Transparency.
If AI touches your project in any way, you'll get documentation showing exactly how it was used.
-
Your choice.
If you don't want AI involved in your work at all, just say so. I'll honor that without question or judgment.
-
Ongoing accountability.
As my business grows, I'm committed to learning how to mitigate my impact—not through empty promises, but through real, evolving practices.
I don't have all the answers. But I do have honesty, and I do have respect for your values.
