As the Leader of Love, could you share a personal experience or realization that inspired you to become an Unconditional Love Coach and Gratitude Guide Healer? How has this journey transformed your own understanding of love?
I love this question and I want to start by clarifying that we are ALL capable of being Leaders Of Love and I’m thankfully not the first, nor the only, and I’ll be far from the last. My purpose is to help anchor the remembrance of unconditional love into Gaia and The Collective. This purpose became clear to me in a download that I had during a solo journey I did with psilocybin. That said, this journey cognitively began across my tri-awakening, which began when I had a deeply spiritual experience at the convergence of my health journey, identity journey (that I would begin transitioning from a AFAB to a trans man – I now identify more authentically as trans masculine/non-binary.), and my spiritual journey. I was bedridden due to my health, in my early 20’s. The relationship and family future I saw for myself was gone, I could no longer help or do much of anything. I was completely suicidal and I literally didn’t understand why anything was happening to me, except that I became convinced this was karmic (I had little understanding of that at the time). One day, I had a moment where I chose to pray. I wasn’t someone who was raised with prayer and praying was a rather foreign thing for me. I didn’t even realize that I didn’t really innerstand prayer – at all. Deep down, clearly I did, because in this moment of pure desperation, I cried and I prayed. I remember asking for support and for clarity on why this was happening and how I was meant to help people. I wanted to know the purpose. I wanted to know the truth and I wanted to know how I could change it or leave this Earth. I promised that if I could get out of bed and walk again, that I would spend the rest of my life figuring out how to heal, and then taking that awareness and supporting others in doing the same. I’m proud to say that I have remained true to this promise thus far, and although it wasn’t a movie moment where I immediately jumped out of bed like in Charlie In The Chocolate Factory; I’m grateful to be in a very different part of my journey now with overall health drastically improved; enough to where I have found various ways to share and serve others with this knowledge. There’s another aspect to this, which I have become aware of much more recently, which is that my Grammy, who was a staple person within my life, taught us the value of volunteering. She ran my Grandfather’s organization once he was no longer able to, until she transitioned from this plane. The two of them had a deep value of family, community, and giving back. My grandfather in particular had a passion for supporting youth and that’s something that must have been directly passed down to me. I’ve been told from a REALLY young age, it was clear I was here to nurture and help people. Being unconditionally loving is something I believe we all were at the beginning and forgot. I am grateful to have remembered through a process which started early within my life, and honored to help others remember now too. There’s a lot more I could say to this. What’s become clear to me is that Leader’s Of Love are remembered and they are created through their experiences, as well as their circumstances within their lifetime. It’s up to them to choose to thrive and share through their pain. I made my choice long ago that I can express.
Unconditional love is a powerful healing force. How do you incorporate this concept into your coaching and healing sessions, and what transformations have you witnessed in individuals who embrace the practice of unconditional love?
It’s incorporated into every single aspect of my day and life – it’s never not factored in, so this is included within my professional life. In terms of my services, the first thing that’s noticed is how I show-up. My clients and people who spend time around me the most, or communicate with me the most, speak to the space I hold being unconditionally loving. This means they have the safety and the freedom to be exactly who they are, and even explore the parts of them who they aren’t anymore, or haven’t been yet. It’s a judgment-free zone and that means they realize themselves on a whole new level. Clients have massive breakthroughs in the areas of their life which they are needing; from health and daily habits, to their self-care routine, to relationships and business – everything. They free themselves from making themselves small and the negative thoughts which have frozen them in their self-care process; therefore blocking them in further impact and success. These people are choosing to drastically change their lives by changing the way they think, and the way they behave. This requires bravery in exploring, surrendering, and often doing something new. I’m asking clients to do things that feel extremely hard to them, so they can take time. Sometimes that time is a few minutes and other times it’s much longer. It’s not a race, it’s a journey. One of my proudest moments was when a client had a breakthrough on something they swore to me they would never do, even though they acknowledged it was what was best for them at the time. Now this self-care task involving food, which was previously so challenging is now something they LOVE to do, and do so frequently. When unconditional love is the basis for everything, it’s incredible how much more joy and ease there is. If someone is interested in collaborating with me within my longer services, especially, they will be required to take my Self-Love Audit, which is known as the Unconditional Love Call. This is a free one-hour guided process with me – 1:1 and completely private. This isn’t required for those who want to purchase a one off service, however no one can hire me within my programs without doing this. It’s so impactful that for those who choose to do longer programs, we do this several times. It’s a tool which I channeled in to support people in analyzing where they are within their unconditional self-love journey because you need to love yourself unconditionally before you can love anyone else unconditionally. My clients come to me when they are at a crossroads and often burned out, just got out of burnout, or are heading into burnout all because they put their purpose and everyone else in front of them. It took me losing most everything to learn all of this and I really want to prevent this experience for people, as well as support those who are within the process and want out. The way I see it, every single Leader Of Love who I support, will go on to support hundreds, thousands, millions or more. I am honored to participate and be within this service.
What type of services do you offer?
I offer services on a 1:1 basis, as well as an event basis – predominantly. Sometimes events look like a small group and other times it looks larger. My services range from one-off services such as Oracle Card Readings, Unconditional Love Coaching, Reiki, Light Language Healing, Guided Meditations, Manifesting Spells, and more. Whereas my programs include customized versions of any and all of those offerings depending on the needs of my client, while focused on their unconditional self-love journey to get them out of burnout, and to keep them out. Every Leader Of Love can take a step too far and having the tools, as well as the plan to bring yourself out of it faster is really beneficial for someone who feels each moment of service is precious. My services are for purpose-driven people who live and serve from their heart. I have the Coaching & Healing Programs for 1 months, 4 months, and 8 months; and then I have a Business Oracle Program, as well. My newest services are family-friendly services, which are a collaboration with Mercury of HOMeY1. We have a series of services around puppets and puppet shows, which are aiming to engage with kids of all ages. Topics range from Friendship and Gratitude, to Unconditional Love and Freedom (and more). Our first show is called, “The WishingKorn” and can be seen for free on our YouTube channels (Wake-In & HOMeY1, as well as our websites (wake-in.com & homey1.us). We have more episodes being released. We premiered the show at my first Global event called the Global Gratitude March, which was on World Gratitude Day. Announcements are coming soon for GGM 2024. More information can be learned about 2023 on my website.
You’re also a Gratitude Guide Healer. How does the practice of gratitude intersect with the healing process, and can you describe a moment when gratitude became a catalyst for positive change in someone’s life?
My healing practice completely changed with each layer of gratitude I embody. Honestly, it wasn’t until the process of The Global Gratitude March where I feel like I reached a new level compared to where I was for a long time. Though I’m sure that my gratitude practice began very early on because my parents taught me “please and thank you”, that was hardly what I consider my gratitude journey. The gratitude journey for me was marked by both extremes and simplicities. When I was very young, I had a family-friend who I referred to as an Uncle, die from AIDS. Though there was A LOT that I didn’t cognitively understand about that experience, it has been with me throughout my rising into adulthood and I would reflect on it a lot. The last time I ever saw him, I think that was a landmark moment for me in gratitude. What’s interesting is that around 4 years prior, I almost died of pneumonia and was hospitalized for 10-days. I don’t think that cognitively I was grateful then, however there’s not a day goes by where that’s not on my mind – the gratitude for being alive, that’s the first thing each day for me. In the simplicity, yet profound, one of my best friends in my teenage years would ask me to name three things that I was grateful for when I was having a tough time. It wasn’t until the last 6 months where I fully processed how much that helped to save my life, and how much it helps me thrive today. The first cognitively functional thought I have each rising is that I’m grateful to be alive. One of the first things I do after I take care of my cats is go into my Grateful GRATiDors Group, which began within The Global Gratitude March team, to greet them into the new day by sharing three things that I’m grateful for and then asking them to do the same. Every single person who got involved with that event had their lives shift in some massive ways. Gratitude has the ability to do that. It saves lives. I’m still here and if you’re reading this, so are you. Gratitude is always available to you – it costs nothing but your intention and a moment, which really is everything in that moment. Consider really sitting with the power that’s within this statement, this truth and within you. Gratitude will help you out of the darkest times and bring you within your light. My grandmother escaped Hitler and was one of the most grateful people I have ever known. I literally believe that I’m alive because of her gratitude. Wow. See, being a Leader Of Love means having the audacity and authenticity to have raw and real breakthroughs that you cause for yourself within an interview question. That’s the magic! Thank you for being a Leader Of Love because if you weren’t, this space wouldn’t be possible. We’re all activating each other.
In today’s digital age, where social media often shapes perceptions of love, how do you guide individuals to form authentic connections and practice love beyond virtual spaces?
DEEPEN INTIMACY WITHIN YOURSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE. The digital age is not bad or good. It’s one of the many names given to the age we perceive ourselves to be in. It’s critical to choose to balance all of who you are in totality and the experiences that you’re having. There is a reason you’re here – all of you. All of us. So if you’re having a tough time being here, know that you’re not alone, and remember that you chose to be here for a reason (often many). Finding peace with this will unlock a bliss and joy you may not have known was available to you. It’s not about every single moment being bliss and joy, it’s about having that access and trusting that access is always there for you. Social media is a powerful and important way to become intimate with yourself, as well as the world around you. That said, it’s determined around who and how you engage with it. This is true for ANYTHING and ANYWHERE in the human experience. Your thoughts from your beliefs and your beliefs form your thoughts, your feelings from them all, and your body experiences them. I spend time focusing on four to five bodies with all of my clients that we have; the physical body, the mental body, the emotional body, the spiritual body, and when relevant within the spiritual body, we have the etheric body. Social media allows for us to remember, express, learn, and explore. During times like the Pandemic, this saved lives exponentially. We now all have access to anyone we want anywhere in the world in the palm of our hands. Depending intimacy with yourself is not something that is beyond, it’s something that’s within. Everything is within everything. We’re all frequencies and expressions of the one. Within that, there’s no beyond, there’s within. This is why we Wake-In, now that we have Woken-up. Spend time within yourself and by yourself. Exploring and balancing these bodies. Then expand your connection with those in your physical space around you by connecting within these ways, with aligned people. And yes, virtually connect with those who are aligned with you too; be aware and mindful of your energy and what you’re taking-in. Many are taking-on and may not realize it. What’s yours is yours and what’s theirs is there’s. I am very careful about what I consume within entertainment and that includes lyrics. I’m mindful of my energy – who gets to share it with me and how I spend it. I have been shifting a lot of who and how I spend my time because I’m no longer masking. I’m living authentically and the more I remember, and learn about myself, the more I share. As we are always changing and transforming, we always have something to share. Earlier today, I was realizing the importance of sharing our experiences because in one perspective we’re only living our own experience and so that’s our way of expanding, and growing. I believe we are actually experiencing all that is to be experienced in one form or another, all at once. So the key is to 1. Love yourself unconditionally by deepening that intimacy within yourself by balancing the wholeness of who you are. 2. Embody and share that with unconditional love with others. It will inspire them to be within their own journey or they will fall out of alignment. It’s okay – others will fall in. Humanity is one big consciousness puzzle. We’re all morphing into what we are becoming to fit together constantly. It’s never not happening and therefore, everyone always inherently fits, belongs, and provides into the balance of all that is. 3. Set boundaries for yourself and uphold them. That includes how much time you spend on the apps, which apps, and how you use them. I have been serially unfollowing and filtering so that my feeds are filled with things that raise my vibration. I spend VERY little time on them for scrolling and mostly receive fun things from my soul tribe, and therefore can share the same. Then I spend most of the time there focusing on putting out content, and then I leave. I have my notifications come to me only a few times a day, so I can free my mind of them. Take it one step at a time. Cliche and true. The foundation is that your unconditional love comes first and then anything is possible.
Your title is the Leader of Love. How do you envision expanding the circle of love beyond individual coaching sessions to create a broader impact in communities or even globally?
I’ll start with the shorter answer – I desire to have Wake-In Wellness Centers all around the globe who will support Leaders Of Love, (and their families), on their journey. And until that day comes and even when it’s here, the most important thing that I will ever do is embody it and inspire others to do the same. I’m not afraid to share my love unconditionally. I’m more afraid that others won’t choose to do the same. My intention is all that I do enables this to be possible and for me, that started within me.
I became a Leader Of Love to a new level when I channeled and led The Global Gratitude March on World Gratitude Day 2023. (See page on my site dedicated to this). The goal was to always have that event be more in-person on an even larger scale, and that plan continues. That said, I have been a growing Leader Of Love from a young age because it’s about embodying this in as many moments as possible for you. I have been volunteering from a young age. I was always bullied, so I did my best to support and be kind to others who were too. I put friendship above all else for a really long time. Kindness is not to be underestimated. Unconditional love isn’t something that’s being kept from us – it is us and so the way that I am supporting on a larger scale is by serving the Leaders Of Love because they are creating a further ripple effect. This isn’t a new concept. In some ways, this isn’t about reinventing a new wheel, this is about getting us to be without one and within the free-flowing frequency. I have big plans for the end of this year and 2024; many of them I don’t even know yet, which makes it that much more exciting. My unconditional love enables me to trust that what needs to unfold will.
