Creation is one of the most accessible forms of modern alchemy. Whether it’s by building a company, writing a book, launching a project, or designing a space, the process of external creation also becomes a container for inner change.

The more we dare to confront our shadow and lead from greater truth and consciousness, the more resilient our systems become. The teams and structures we build are reflections of us. When we evolve, they do too.

For elite athletes, performance is more than a job. From an early age, training and competing become central to their identity. Self-worth is often tied to winning.

Performance addiction isn’t about working hard or having high standards. It’s about tying your self-worth to how well you perform. In other words, success becomes a stand-in for inner stability and emotional security.

The phrase “it’s lonely at the top” sounds cliché, but is a harsh reality for many elite performers. CEOs in particular tend to complain about the intense feelings of isolation that can come with the weight of the responsibilities, decisions, and sleepless nights that almost no one sees or acknowledges.

If you spend some time on social media, you’ll see the word narcissist quite often. It’s become the go-to term to describe “toxic” exes, manipulative bosses, anyone who seems to crave attention, or even just someone who exudes confidence. But simply reducing narcissism to a buzzword misses the point.

Many of us know what it’s like to hold on to someone we know isn’t good for us. The mind understands the relationship is unhealthy, yet we continue to ache with longing, oftentimes behaving like an addict who goes back for more. The moment we try to pull away, the anxiety feels unbearable – almost as if detachment were a threat to survival.

Traumatic experiences, especially when cumulative and occurring during early life, shatter one's sense of safety, trust, capacity for intimacy, and influence many other aspects of a person's life.

Despite growing awareness, men’s mental health often remains a taboo subject, overshadowed by societal ideals of unwavering strength and resilience. Male vulnerability is widely stigmatized, leading to reluctance in seeking help or discussing mental health challenges.

In the intricate dance of relationships, understanding the unique steps and rhythms of your partner can be both a rewarding and challenging journey.
