I went on a deeply healing, fun, and life-changing plant medicine journey about a week ago. This experience was led by a professional and held in a ritual fashion. Everyone was safe, taken care of, and chose to go on this joinery for their own reason. This is my fresh summary of the experience.  While more and more breakthroughs and awareness keep coming, this was my first unscripted sharing the experience with the public. This is not meant to encourage anyone to do plant medicine or other drugs or substances but to share my experience. I am not a shaman or a doctor, and everyone needs to consult their support systems, doctors, healers, and therapists before embracing these types of experiences. I hope you enjoy this share, and if you have any questions, you can always contact me.

Once upon a time, in the bustling Metropolis of Metropolis, our hero Superman found himself in a predicament. But this wasn't your usual nefarious villain trying to take over the world or a cataclysmic disaster that needed his superpowers. No, this time, Superman was facing an internal battle—a battle between his noble purpose and the lure of the almighty dollar... His rent, car payment, taxes, and credit card payments were due. The Super(hero) market Picture this: a giant, shiny billboard stood tall in the center of Metropolis, displaying a catchy tagline, "Superman for Hire! Save the day for just $50K!" Yes, you read that right. Our beloved caped crusader had decided to monetize his extraordinary abilities, leaving the world stunned and questioning his motives. The irony was palpable. Superman, the emblem of selflessness and righteousness, had succumbed to the temptation of financial gain. Gone were the days when he fought crime solely for the sake of humanity. Now, he donned his cape and tights only for the allure of hefty paychecks. But what had happened to his higher purpose? Had he traded it to get his bills paid? The Dollar Dilemma & The Money Mirage As Superman soared across the city, a new sentiment began to spread among the people of Metropolis. They no longer saw him as the champion of justice but rather as a mere mercenary, a superhero-for-hire. The once-admired symbol of hope had become a cog in the money-making machine. This disillusioned figurehead valued dollars over making a difference. But what about Superman himself? Was he content with this newfound arrangement? The more money he made, the more money he spent. He kept hearing a voice in his head that said, just a little more, and everything will be fine. Alas, the more he chased the dollar, the more he solved some of his problems, and new issues arose. But worse than that, the more he chased the dollar, the emptier he felt. No amount of money could fill the void left by abandoning his true calling. Superman began to realize that his purpose was not found in his bank account but in the lives, he touched and the impact he made. The True Currency of Happiness Amid his money-making misadventure and the dollar dilemma, Superman stumbled upon a humbling truth. Pursuing wealth and material possessions can never bring lasting happiness or fulfillment. Sure, money can buy comfort and fleeting pleasures, but it cannot purchase genuine contentment or a sense of purpose. Ultimately, the dollar chase blinds us to the true beauty of life—the joy of helping others, the warmth of human connections, and the satisfaction of making a positive difference. Once motivated solely by his altruistic nature, Superman had momentarily lost sight of what truly made him a hero. So who can relate? Who has let the chasing of money sidetrack them from their passion or purpose? Who has thought, just a little bit more and then I'll be ok, to find themselves needing more and more? Let Superman's tale serve as a poignant reminder of the perils of chasing money at the expense of our true purpose. We must resist the seductive pull of materialism and remember that our worth as individuals lies not in our bank balance but in our impact on the world around us. In our lives, let us seek fulfillment by pursuing meaningful passions, nurturing relationships, and embracing the values that make us who we are. Remember, the greatest riches are not found in bank vaults, but in the hearts and minds we touch. So, let us not become mere Supermans for paychecks but rather be the superheroes of our own lives, driven by purpose, compassion, and a desire to make this world a better place. In the end, it is this pursuit that will lead us to genuine happiness and everlasting fulfillment. And sometimes, we discover that our dreams, passions, and purpose can also pay the bills. Remember, true heroes, don't chase dollars—they chase their dreams.

Connection is the Root of all Healing with Shawna Mox Shawna Mox is a highly skilled dance fitness instructor and transformational coach, whose journey into feminine-style group dance began in 2013. Trained as a Hot Buddhi Yoga teacher by renowned mentor Jen Liming, Shawna's initial insecurities about her body and movement did not deter her from starting her teaching career. Embracing her passion, she later received training in Shakti Flow, a program developed by Jess Abner, which became the foundation of her unique teaching style, combining feminine movements with high-energy pop and hip-hop grooves. Beyond her work as a dance fitness instructor, Shawna's experiences as the front woman of an 8-piece funk band and her journey through transformational work ignited her fascination with self-inquiry and personal growth. In 2017, she completed a year-long program with Accomplishment Coaching, further enriching her understanding of transformation and empowerment. After overcoming a significant life burnout, Shawna channeled her passion for movement into creating her own program, BomBooty. Centered around the healing and empowering aspects of community connection and self-inquiry, BomBooty aims to facilitate deep healing and transformation for all participants. Shawna's ultimate vision is to inspire a world where individuals feel comfortable, powerful, and liberated in their own bodies, contributing to a more beautiful, loving, and peaceful global community.

Men, we can have it all! Our lives can be dynamic and expansive, and we can simultaneously succeed in opposite areas of life. When we unleash ourselves from the cultural conditioning that says men have to be this or that. When we exit the boxes that force us to identify what kind of men we are, we get to choose how we want to be on our terms. And cultivating relationships like this requires something. They demand you open your mind and heart to Brotherhood and community and identify your truth and desires. I am so grateful to the men that support me all the way. My brothers, my community! If you had a dynamic Brotherhood like this supporting you, your relationships, and your goals, what would be possible? Opportunities to work with Alex, for you or the men in your lives! 1.

While this guy knows he’s not reaching his potential, he’s found a way to be apathetic about it. While he’s distracted, not focused, and not happy, he’s not depressed, so it’s not that bad. He might be a little annoyed, frustrated, or resigned about how things are going at work or home, but he hasn’t gotten fired, his partner hasn’t left, and there is food on the table, so it’s okay. He’s living just waiting. He’s in this holding pattern of comfort. Anything that could improve his life, he has a reason it can’t be a priority, he’s not interested in it, or it isn’t that important. Part of him is clinging to keeping things the same because it’s comfortable. A little piece of him is curious about what might be possible if something were to shift, but he’s only willing to entertain the idea of it. Choosing it, stepping into it, it will have to wait. These men are the men who are surprised when their wives suddenly leave. They are the men who don’t get why their kids have no relationship with them. These men are the ones who are surprised when they receive a scary health diagnosis and don’t know what to do. These men are confused when they get passed over for another promotion or laid off. These men don’t want things to change and don’t believe they can have what they want. Or they think that if they were to go after what they wanted, the price would be too much and might destroy what they already have.

For years a man's confidence seemed to be based on the size of his... Wallet. Or the logo on his car, the women on his arm, the chisel of his jawline. And here's the thing, it's easy to be confident when things are going well, and you have it all, but a man's true confidence is demonstrated when things aren't going well, when he faces challenging times, and when the winds aren't blowing in his sails. See, the problem with confidence coming from money, a woman, a car, or anything else is that it only takes a moment for them to vanish. A woman can leave, a business can fall on hard times, the money can disappear, and looks fade. If a man's confidence depends on things outside of himself, he is living in false confidence or a temporary state of confidence. Anything outside of us or that depends on the opinion of others can vanish faster than it was created. True confidence isn't temporary or gained through a result. True and sustaining confidence is an inside job, developed, practiced, and established within. Life is an endless ebb and flow, up and down, winning and losing journey. So if you want to be a more confident man, the following five areas (Emotional Intelligence, Self Awareness, Empathy & Kindness, Inclusion, and Authenticity) are the key. If you are strong and grounded in these areas, you will be confident no matter where life takes you.
