It’s always interesting looking back at my journey. For me, it was a slow burn. I spent most of my adult life in “the church” and could never find peace. I saw so many happy people around me and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t find “God’s favor.”

I eventually left the church, which was difficult. I went down a path of darkness, atheism, and finally found the divine where it had been the whole time, within myself.

Now, I’m not perfect and each day is growing and learning. But, I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I’m more at peace, and my marriage and relationships and business could not be stronger. I just had to break out of my own jail.

Thanks for sharing Jonathan! Loved reading a bi about your story.

Loved the “had to break out of my own jail” part! And isn’t funny how as Christians we heard, “Repent for the kingdom is here” over and over again, without having any idea that it simply meant to break out of our own jail. 😅❤

Thanks for the share brutha!

I’d say both. I’ve always had an inkling toward the spiritual/magickal practices I openly embrace now, but decided to come out of the broom closet after my divorce.

Realizing at that point in my life that I had allowed others – men mostly – to dictate almost every aspect of my life, I busted out and began to shift everything in my life through learning what lit me up and through diving into self discovery.

To me, this odyssey has no finish line. I’m so grateful to be able to keep learning, growing, deepening my practices and integrating new lessons every. damn. day.

Stoked to be here and connect with like-minded community.

I can’t actually talk about my experience without mentioning my partner @danieltyack , creator of Undercurrent (among a list endless projects and brilliant ideas), because our connection continues to teach me so much, and continues to present me with healthy (and sometimes tough) opportunities to grow and create the reality of my choosing. The gratitude there goes beyond words… and words are wind, right? (Lol).

She’s a Witch! 🤩🧙‍♀️
Loved the share babe, and love seeing how much we’ve been growing! Keep rising up into a higher space, fear is the mind killer. Also: Don’t listen to men. They have no idea what they are doing. ❤

Great share, toni! Gotta lean into discomfort. I don’t like it in the moment, but it’s good.
