Meet meg.

your 4/1 emo mani bestie
(gem sun, aqua moon, leo rising)

I was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario Canada a medium sized automotive and farming town. Think rows of corn, soy and strawberries in the summer and snowy winters. For my first 7 years I was an only child. I spent a lot of time alone outside. I loved walking around the yard pretending I was a naturalist, eating blades of grass and climbing trees to laze around imitating a leopard.

I was a little weirdo- who grew into a big weirdo. I looooooved pretending to be an animal. I had a collection of tales that I would pin to my butt and a pink dog dish (just for me) that I insisted on eating cereal and drinking water out of. Ah those were the days.

My parents put me in all of the sports but nothing stuck quite like swimming. This little mars in pisces began competing at 6 years old and didn’t stop until I retired at 21. Swimming meant a lifetime of smelling like chlorine and frozen hair in the winter. It also meant a great escape!

After high school I got a full ride scholarship to New Mexico State University’s D 1 program and tried out life in the desert (hello dry kitchens environment!). It was a big change but my best adventure yet. After college I made a few of my passive manifestations a reality- moving to California (I had a wall full of surf photos my sophomore year- I had never surfed… see also a closet full of Pac Sun haha). In California, I learned how to surf and my highlight job was working as an elephant keeper at the Santa Barbara zoo.

But I tried on a lot of different jobs in my twenties - all the while really stressing out about what the fuck my purpose was and where to find it. After retiring from competetive swimming, I required a full reinvention. I was living in the place of my dreams doing the job of my dreams, but it felt empty. I cried all the time, waiting to feel like I was finally in the right place. (Cue not self undefined G center)

When I found human design in the throws of a tumultuous Saturn return - it felt like turning a light on inside. All of these things I had worried were wrong with me not only had an explanation but could actually be used for good!

To be honest, I also really really liked that my chart had some “unique or rare” things in it. It made me feel validating for always feeling different and special. And also I liked Pokemon as a kid and lusted after those rare cards.

From there, my NN in pisces kicked into high gear- trying out every spiritual or alternative practice that came my way because why not? Hypnosis, Psych-k, breathwork, crystals, satsang, tarot- perhaps a decade living in Ojai had steeped me in enough alternative shit that it was no longer scary. Or perhaps it was a calling I felt compelled to answer. Either way it got us here.

I am currently delighting in using EFT, visualization and self love practices to change things in my life that aren't in alignment anymore. And it’s working. Some beliefs and patterns I have let go of:

-Being seen as spiritual means I am not intelligent.
-Limiting relationship to money.
-Codependent behaviors, fearful avoidant attachment style.
-Setting boundaries, asking for help.
-Fear of being seen and sharing online.
-Hang-ups around comparison/competition and perfectionism.

I am a LOT nicer to myself than I used to be, and I am work in progress.
