What’s Inside This Month’s Edition
-
Faith: I stayed aligned and amplified with faith. I stayed on track with Transformation Church watching every other week. I started and completed over half of each Astral Projection and Calling in the One via Mind Valley This is one of 75+ Tips, Tools and Tech I share in Creator Circle.
2. Wellness: My workout days dropped by 10 days in July. It was a really interesting #weird month.
During July, I participated in two Udara Sunday Festivals with breathwork, ecstatic dance, sound healing and a Celebration of Life.
At the start of the month, I was in Kuala Lumpur on a visa run. Early in the month, I experienced three down days. I joined ClassPass and participated in wellness activities including dance class, bamboo gym visits, and floating experiences.
By July 23, I left Bali for a flight to Singapore. From Singapore, I flew on a 15 hour flight direct to San Francisco. From San Francisco, I flew to Dallas for both Herbalife Extravaganza and visiting two of my besties - Angela and Lindsey.
Within the last week of July, I was between Bali, Singapore, San Francisco, Dallas, Herbalife Extravaganza with 20,000+ of my friends, 3 days with my besties who I have not seen in real life for about 3 years, and travel to Ecuador. Phew.
I knew that after the month of July, my spirit, soul, mind and body would crave more stability. So my first stay in Ecuador, I am staying a month.
3. Wealth: I increased alignment and flow with finances.
- Increased Faith + Works in every avenue.
- Management of money and momentum improved by 25%+
- Improved Creator School Launch Alignment from A to Z.
- Signed Up with 3+ New Creator Platforms as Creator + Brand.
- Created New Campaign for Creators with Course, Template, Kit.

5 Learning
- Completed Half of Astral Projection via Mind Valley
- Completed Half of Calling in the One via Mind Valley
- Attended Herbalife Extravaganza in Dallas for 3 Days
6 Cleared
- Cleared my phone <180 videos and pictures (I can't stand clutter!)
- Cleared 200+ emails to <80 in inbox with pending shares on social.
- My Inbox is usually <25 but the combination of travel movement, aligning flow, pending items to share on social channels not scaled yet, this culminated in this snowball and increased focus to scale. I did improve over 25% from May to July.
7 Travel
-
- Travel stabilized somewhat in July. I started the month with a visa run to Kuala Lumpur. I stayed in Bali in one place from July 3 to July 23.
- I flew to USA for Herbalife Extravaganza to Dallas via Singapore and San Francisco. I spent time with my besties 20+ years.
- I flew to Ecuador on July 30 and am staying in one place for a month.
8 Community:
I am continually called to create community online and IRL. Community includes connections, Creator CEO Free Circle, collaborations, or one-on-one conversations, or IRL speaking or workshops or retreats.
I absolutely experienced this in July with increase in community events, workshops, and creations. I will continue to increase in August with creating online with Create with Me and sharing Creator Week in Atlanta for September and maybe Miami coming up.

Community I chose Wien Sunrice Villas and it chose me both for the alignment, nature, and community feel. I stayed here June 12 to June 29 and returned July 2 to July 23 after my visa run.
I attended a coworking workshop and integrated more community time and dinners with beautiful souls via Sunday Festivals and Networking Events. I increased community time in July 5-10x fold compared to the last 1-3 years.
This is definitely testing my own energy adjustments and integrations too.

Creator World: What's Next
It is half-time baby! I am in awe and wonder.
I am SO proud of myself for July in spite of challenges and circumstances.
The ability to choose peace and purpose and calm and clarity through it all.
What's Next?
- Travel in Ecuador: I am staying in one Airbnb in Manta, Ecuador for a month close to Murcialago Beach, Mall Pacificio, and Smart FIT Gym. This is helping me focus, create, clear clutter, and integrate space for day trips to Ayampe, Olon, Puerto Lopez. Ecuador allows up to 90 days visa free for US Citizens. Likely, I will be headed to Galapagos, Quito, and Tena after my stay here.
