How I Learned to Follow My Soul

My story offering to the ceremonial fire (on 2 Toj)

Hello sweet souls,

How are you feeling? How are you managing your one wild life today?

Instead of business as usual, I heard the call to tell you my story, to tell you how I learned to follow my Soul.

Now, I love telling stories—it’s my love language—but talking about myself just to share my background is a little strange for me.

But when the Soul asks you to share your story—well, that’s what you do. More precisely, I heard, “Tell them how you got to here today.”

I hope this audio transmissions helps you understand why I cultivate the altar within my Soul, as well as The Altar Membership.

I’ve captured a transmission guide with topics and timestamps down below.

Before you read that or press play, I want to remind you that The Altar is enrolling founding members until January 22.

If you’d like to experience a preview, join the Collective Ancestor Reading on Sunday, January 18. It’s a sacred session where we step out of linear time and into the multidimensional space to hear a transmission from our ancestors and ask some of your most burning questions. You’ll also meet other sweet souls who are hearing the call toward The Altar.

January 18 (9 Ajmak) at 11am MST— Collective Ancestor Reading
Live channeling for the collective. Witness what moves through when we gather at The Altar together. Ask questions to receive guidance for your Soul’s emergence. This day carries the energy of forgiveness with the feminine. Register here

The Altar membership is open for enrollment now with our first private Cacao ritual for members on Friday, January 23 (1 Imox—which holds the energy of a pure potential).

The founding member window locks in the lowest price forever—plus the first founding members receive a box of my favorite ritual incense to bless your altar and home.

How I Learned to Follow My Soul

Total Length: 38 minutes 17 seconds

0:02 - OPENING

Setting the energy on 2 Toj

Recording on 2 Toj (fire ceremony energy), paying a debt around the fire by sharing this story. The altar is not a place we go to—it’s a place within us waiting for us to return and remember.

4:15 - THE FERTILE GROUND

Three decades of entrepreneurship and creation

  • Child of immigrants, making things from nothing

  • Food business, cookbook author, building with hands and mind

  • Creative power was always there, waiting for different direction

  • Whisper beneath all the creating

6:45 - THE UNRAVELING

When everything falls apart

  • Mother’s cancer diagnosis 15 years ago, wake-up call

  • Mother and father pass, pain emerges in body

  • Pain becomes the guide—yoga, acupuncture, meditation, consciousness study

  • Grocery store dream dissolves, hit by car, city turns down plans

  • Divorce comes years later

  • Only way through is IN

14:30 - THE APPRENTICESHIP

The search that led home

  • Cacao arrives 12-13 years ago at my food business

  • Drinking Cacao + journaling = connecting to other dimensions

  • Ancestors calling back to lineage and Mayan Sacred Calendar

  • 100+ teachers, tarot, astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys, body practices, etc.

  • Stopped collecting, started channeling

  • Soul called back to: softness, compassion, forgiveness, acceptance

  • Everything sought was already within

21:00 - THE SYNTHESIS

The alchemical moment

  • Call to Austin—decided to trust it, gifts aligned

  • August 6th flow day showing guidance moving through me

  • New Mexico deepens land reading gift

  • Stopped asking “Am I doing this right?” → Started asking “What wants to come through me?”

  • Sacred timing over manufactured urgency, pause IS the movement

28:53 - THE CALLING

Claiming the identity

  • Sacred bridge, portal keeper, land reader

  • Helps others attune to sacred timing (Mayan Sacred Calendar, astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys)

  • Channels ancestors in all moments

  • Cacao as número uno ally

  • Magic happens in stillness, ritual, devotion, listening

  • Heal to CREATE from wholeness

  • These gifts are available to everyone

33:15 - THE INVITATION

The Altar community

  • Collaborative spiritual community, collective sovereignty

  • When you hear your Soul: relationships deepen, purpose clarifies, abundance flows, alignment

  • Live ceremonies, ancestor readings, transmissions, sacred timing attunement

  • Your Soul already knows—are you ready to receive?

  • First Cacao ritual January 23rd, founding member opportunity

37:00 - CLOSING
