"I Am Created to Create Fate"

"I Am Created to Create Fate"

Guess whose back?! Thank you for your patience. I've been using this time to reflect on what I want to use my energy doing. So there are two BIG announcements regarding the show and ways to get involved.

I lay down the foundation for creatives to take control of their fate. First, we define what it means to create fate. Once we have a solid understanding, we apply these principles in daily practice through verbal affirmations. 


This is episode is designed to be participatory, nurturing, and informational.
