Real Stories from the Fire!
You are ready. Step towards your life.
These aren't Testimonials. They are lived Experiences.
The Threshold at the Edge of the unkNOWn
Welcome to your path forward…
They stood at the threshold.
I walked with them through.
These aren’t testimonials.
They’re lived moments.
Crucible experiences.
The kind you can’t navigate with logic or a checklist.
Each of these people faced something terrifying and true—and said yes to their own transformation.
I didn’t fix them.
I reminded them.
I stood with them—beside their soul—as they chose the path only they could walk.
“Thank you for helping me not abandon myself, even when everything was in flux.”
Caleb
Opening to Love Without Losing Himself
Caleb came to me as a devoted partner standing at a terrifying edge—his wife had a deep longing to explore a polyamorous path, and he didn’t want to lose her. But he also didn’t want to lose himself.
We walked together into one of the hardest thresholds a person can face:
How do you support your partner’s expansion while staying true to your own boundaries? Your own truth? Your love?
Caleb was courageous. He let himself feel the jealousy, the grief, the fear. He kept showing up to the hard conversations—initiating them after our calls.
And he began to explore himself. Then—unexpectedly—he fell for someone. Everything cracked open again: all the old feelings, and a rush of new ones.
Through it all, we stayed present. We felt everything. I reminded him often, “This isn’t the kiddie pool—these are big wave waters where the experts swim.”
We talked before the big moments—with his wife and with his new person.
We debriefed after the fallouts.
We made space for heartbreak and joy. For confusion and curiosity.
We found language that honored love, even in moments of disorientation and pain.
We never pretended this was easy. We never cut corners.
We stepped toward what was real—not away. And in doing so, we forged a new path.
He transformed into the man he’s always known himself to be.
One who loves without abandoning himself.
He learned that desire and integrity don’t have to be enemies.
And he’s still walking—honestly, beautifully—through that fire.
Duncan
The Mountain Didn’t Break Him. It Made Him.
Duncan’s story is in The Invitation Beyond because it was a threshold moment of epic proportions.
On our Highlander expedition, Duncan faced the edge of everything—his strength, his story, his sense of self. Days into a physically and emotionally grueling journey, the pain got real.
He could’ve backed down.
But we stayed in it. Together.
He almost gave up. But when I said, “Think of this as a rite of passage,” he couldn’t walk away. Because in him lives a desire to be extraordinary. Still, the path was grueling—and while the moment of deciding to step takes massive courage, staying on the path when it gets hard is where transformation happens.
I held him in this—especially when everyone else around him was complaining, being negative, and suffering. I shielded him, literally and figuratively, from any kind of negativity, group excuses, or complaining. This allowed his mental image to stay clean, and that part of him that, as he says now, “never wavered once I made the decision to go forward,” to stay strong.
In those long hours, when the doubt got loud and his nervous system said no more, I stood with him—not to push, not to save—but to anchor him back to his deepest integrity.
His strength. His commitment. His willingness to become someone new.
He walked forward, one trembling step at a time. And in doing so, he reclaimed a part of himself he hadn’t trusted in years.
“I had to face myself in a way I never had before. And I wasn’t alone.”
“I’m not proving anything anymore. I’m living what I believe.”
Mike
Resisting the Checklist. Reclaiming His Life.
Mike is a brilliant healer with a vision for true health—not just of the body, but the whole being. But that vision didn’t match what his wealthy, high-achieving family thought “success” should look like.
They wanted the checklist: the career, the credentials, the credibility.
Mike wanted sovereignty. Simplicity. A meaningful life.
Over and over, he stood up against judgment, pressure, and subtle shame from people who loved him but didn’t understand him.
And every time, we came back to this:
You’re not here to make them comfortable. You’re here to live your truth.
We talked before the conversations, the family trips, the dinner parties, the weddings. We braced for the comments.
We processed the guilt, the grief, the desire to still be loved. We worked through the loss of approval—and parts of the connection.
We practiced what it means to say:
“I’ve got me.”
Mike is still on that path—every day choosing love over approval.
He’s building a life and a business that feel aligned, even when the noise gets loud.
Lena
Choosing Her Own Life, Not The One Planned For Her
Lena was about to get engaged.
Everyone—her boyfriend, her family, her friends—was cheering her forward.
But something in her knew. This wasn’t her path.
And while the right path wasn’t fully clear, the next step was.
We met in that swirl of pressure and doubt.
We found the faith and trust to step toward the challenge, not away from it.
We walked through every layer—her fear of regret, the guilt of leaving, the grief of disappointing others.
She didn’t need someone to tell her what to do.
She needed someone to help her hear what she already knew.
We prepared for the heartbreak, the backlash, the freedom.
We stayed present after she left—when the weight of her choice sank in and the questions came roaring back.
Together, we navigated the breakup, the loneliness, the terrifying, exhilarating quiet that followed.
“You’re not crazy. You know.”
That’s what she needed to hear. That’s what we kept coming back to.
And in the end, she walked herself home.
“I’m not crazy. I know. I really know. I’ve got me.”
“This is what you asked for. Not the ease. The chance to become who you really are. This is the opportunity. You know this is the way.”
Elias
The Leap Was Courageous. What Came After Was Transformation Forged In Heat.
Elias did something most people never do—he left the safety and security of a stable job and future.
Not because he had a perfect plan.
But because staying would’ve meant betraying something sacred inside him.
He knew he was made for more—for work that aligned with his values,for excellence rooted in care, integrity, and heart.
And so, he leapt.
A massively courageous, inspired leap. A deep honoring of his soul.
But here’s the part no one talks about:
The fire gets you out. But the real heat? It comes after.
Because now the risk is real.
And the only way forward is to become the man your leap requires you to be.
Suddenly, Elias was face-to-face with the challenge he didn’t anticipate:
His new colleagues didn’t share his vision.
Their level of care and devotion didn’t match his.
To execute his vision—helping young people thrive—he’d have to confront the very people slowing him down.
And they were friends.
Could he truly stand for the brilliance inside him?
Could he lead, set the tone, bring the vision—even if it strained friendships or invited doubt and judgment?
This is where many people fold.
But not Elias.
His devotion was strong. And we held it close.
We talked through each moment—before the meetings, the risks, the calls.
We said the words out loud. Named the stakes. Honored the fear.
I reminded him,
“This is what you asked for. Not the ease. The chance to become who you really are. This is the opportunity. You know this is the way.”
And he did it. Shaking the whole way.
He’s still walking through fire—but now with a grounded sense of purpose that’s earned, not imagined.
He’s no longer hoping it will work out.
He’s becoming the reason it will.
This is the Work
In every one of these stories, there was a moment—sometimes dozens—where everything shook.
Where the next step felt impossible.
Where they almost turned back.
And we stayed.
We talked before the moment.
We breathed after the moment.
We celebrated the trying, the trembling, the truth.
We made space for mistakes.
We honored the heartbreak, the relief, the wild joy.
This isn’t mindset coaching.
This is soul transformation.
