It’s probably time-consuming, but in an average 9-to-5 way. You might even kind of enjoy it! You have fun slacking weird memes to your coworkers, and whomst amongst us could say “no” to the free snacks that litter the team kitchen? You probably appreciate knowing you’re good at what you do, and being a valuable member of the team makes you feel good.But here's the thing: it's not your passion.It's not how you want to spend your one wild and precious life.

But you can’t seem to get enough momentum while working in sporadic, clandestine spurts of free time.Honestly, it’s not about trying harder or having more discipline or drinking more energy drinks so you don’t need as many honk-shoos a night. If that worked, you wouldn’t have this problem.You’re stuck between two paths: stay in the realm of financial stability and accept that your side thing will remain a side thing, or quit to make space for what truly matters to you?

Thanks for bearing with me as this week’s episode comes out a day later than usual — I’m halfway through in an intensive 20-day Feldenkrais Method in-person training in Ann Arbor and admittedly I’m a little, “what day is it? who am I? where do the bounds of my body end and begin? what is consciousness, even?” on top of having long days and a not-so-quiet shared Airbnb with my partner and 2.5 year old :) Real quick, reminder that I’m teaching a free class called: 🔮 HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF AS THE EXPERT YOU ALREADY ARE AND GET PAID TO BE YOURSELF (EVEN IF YOUR EXPERTISE IS "INVISIBLE" TO YOU)! 📅 June 25th at 2p ET 💻 Live + interactive on Zoom 👉 CLICK HERE TO SAVE YOUR SPOTIn this workshop, I'll walk you through:* The 3 types of invisible expertise everyone has, no matter how old or young or experienced or educated or witchy or talented you are or aren’t* A live "expertise archaeology" exercise where we dig through your psychological rubble to find buried treasure (metaphorically speaking — although if you wanna wear your best Indiana Jones cosplay garb I’m not gonna stop you)* The #1 money story keeping spiritual people broke (hint: it's not just "money is the root of all evil," though that's definitely in the top 5)* A simple framework for testing if your knowledge is monetizable without sacrificing your firstborn to the algorithm gods or becoming one of those people who DMs strangers about "passive income opportunities"* How to decide what to monetize, and what to keep for yourself 😇 and how your expertise plays into that choice either way!It’s going to be fun!

We're talking about practicing increasing failure tolerance from a more creative, esoteric perspective. And why-oh-why would we want to do that? Well, increasing your failure tolerance is a type of nervous system practice. It's not about becoming fearless or turning into some kind of risk-taking maniac. It's about expanding your capacity to hold discomfort, which literally makes you stickier to the things you want.When you can handle the sensation of uncertainty, rejection, looking foolish, or being misunderstood, you stop unconsciously sabotaging yourself. You stop repelling opportunities because you're afraid of what might happen if you actually get what you want.Because here's the thing: If you say you want to have $100k in your bank account, but your nervous system can't handle seeing $10k in your portfolio without completely freaking out, guess what you're going to unconsciously do everything in your power to avoid? Exactly.This is somatic work disguised as creative practice. Every time you stretch your tolerance for the uncomfortable, you're teaching your nervous system that these sensations aren't actually life-threatening. That you can survive looking stupid. That failure isn't death — it's just information, it's just a turn, it's just another step in the ongoing experiment of being human.With that, I wanted to give you some practical ways to flex your failure tolerance in ways that extend beyond traditional business. So, let’s get to it!
