Statistically, women make better leaders.

Evidence shows women are more rational, more responsible, and have greater integrity across numerous metrics.

Facts don’t care about your feelings 😝

Everyone—men included—could benefit if both men and women recognized the evidence for women’s leadership qualities.

The Book of Revelation is a cause of major fear an

The Book of Revelation is a cause of major fear and trauma for many people… but its “prophecies” already happened.

It describes historical events during the author’s lifetime… not a future apocalypse.

Unfortunately, inaccurate interpretations of Revelation has caused a tremendous amount of fear for people.

It’s also been used to justify people’s vindicitiveness and resentment.

After a decade exploring Christianity’s hidden his

After a decade exploring Christianity’s hidden history, lost gospels, and theological plot holes, I can confidently say three things:

1️⃣ This religion didn’t come from Jesus.

2️⃣ This religion completely rewrote Jesus and erased the beliefs of his earliest followers.

3️⃣ Christians rarely know their own history.

Are you hurt or confused by Christianity, but curious about Jesus?

JESUS REWRITTEN will be guidebook for your journey.

Explore the questions Christians aren’t supposed to ask, and the history they’re supposed to ignore… a history you’ll never learn sitting in a church pew.

You’ll get a roadmap for spiritual wellbeing beyond religious doctrine.

This information might shock you at first (it did for me). And then, this information might help set you free (it did for me).

The Book of Revelation ALREADY HAPPENED.

It describes historical events during the author’s lifetime… not a future apocalypse. 
That’s right, the Mark of The Beast was already on currency around 70 AD.

Unfortunately, inaccurate interpretations of Revelation has caused a tremendous amount of fear and religious trauma for people.

It’s also been used to justify people’s vindictiveness and resentment.

Some narcissism “experts” say it’s not possible to

Some narcissism “experts” say it’s not possible to fully heal after narcissistic abuse…

They say that you’ll experience resentment forever…

and the trauma will remain permanently in your DNA…

They’re lying 😉

I’ve experienced psychopathic abuse that brought me to the brink of sanity.

I’ve also experienced the trauma of growing up with a narcissistic parent — a trauma that shattered my health and imprinted my psyche on the deepest level.

But I decided that no matter how severe the trauma, it CAN be healed.

You can make this choice too.

Today’s episode of my TRUTH ACTIVIST podcast is called, How To FULLY HEAL After Narcissistic Abuse.

Listen to TRUTH ACTIVIST on all major podcast platforms.

Have you felt impatient for other people to hurry

Have you felt impatient for other people to hurry up and wake up (or grow up)?

Have you felt like your freedom and peace hinges on what others are doing, choosing, or voting?

That means you’re in a codependent relationship with those people!

In any relationship — with a person or group of people — your healing doesn’t depend on anyone else changing. It only depends on you changing.

Ultimately, the change you desire is within your power.

It depends on how much you are willing to open your heart, trust your intuition, venture into the unknown, and question your fundamental beliefs.

Ready to explore that? Dive into my FREE spiritual workbook, A Few Practical Steps to Enjoy the Apocalypse.

In the workbook, you’ll discover a 10-day process to find peace and prosperity during global upheaval.

After a decade of exploring Christianity’s hidden

After a decade of exploring Christianity’s hidden history, lost gospels, and theological plot holes, I can confidently say three things:

1️⃣ This religion didn’t come from Jesus.

2️⃣ This religion completely rewrote Jesus and erased the beliefs of his earliest followers.

3️⃣ Christians rarely know their own history.

I can also confidently say that religion is—by far—THE BIGGEST form of mind control in our world.

(Far more so than political and pharmaceutical brainwashing.)

I set out to illuminate the hidden history behind “industrial religion,” just as I had devoted myself to illuminating truth behind other major industries.

While I can’t claim to have all the truth or the complete picture, I can illuminate *some* of what’s been hidden.

Here’s to your freedom, and your healing 💝

By my early twenties I had achieved a lot, but not

By my early twenties I had achieved a lot, but not peace. So then I spent the next chapter of my life letting go of what I had built up.

It was a more challenging undertaking, recognized in value only by a few people in my life.

On the outside I looked less successful, but on the inside, my heart became full and my mind became peaceful.

I began Empowered Sustenance at age 19, chronicling my journey of holistically healing an “incurable” autoimmune disease.

And I just kept going deeper into what it means to heal, and writing about it.

And this whole chapter has been very big healing for me 💝

If you’re at a fork in the road, may this give you encouragement to choose the success that feels like peace and freedom, even if it may look like “failure” on the outside.

The outside doesn’t matter.

Once, I believed that I could only be safe and hea

Once, I believed that I could only be safe and healthy if other people voted a certain way. My heart was filled with anger, fear, and arrogance towards those who held different political beliefs.

Maybe you believe, as I once did, that other people can threaten our safety or wellbeing with their political views. This form of codependency has become so normalized, we don’t even question it!

I became more empowered, loving, and compassionate when I started asking, “What if nobody else needs to change for my life to be okay?”

The political theater truly is two sides of the same coin. People are experiencing this for themselves and waking up!

Today on the TRUTH ACTIVIST podcast, I share my journey from “political hatred” to “political healing.”

Some thoughts on AI. I choose soul over efficiency

Some thoughts on AI. I choose soul over efficiency. You know what? I don’t even want to be efficient when it comes to my writing and work. I want to be present, creative, and intutive. I want to enjoy the process, and grow in the process. My life got 1000% better when I got off social media and posted only when I felt truly inspired.

My books will always be written by me, from my soul to yours 💖

Stay tuned for my next book, coming out this spring. It’s about how Christianity didn’t come from Jesus, who created the religion, and what Jesus *actually* taught. It’s time for a huge awakening on this topic!

“How can government agencies harm and manipulate A

“How can government agencies harm and manipulate American citizens?” Because these agencies hire people with narcissistic personalities… and I believe that’s on purpose.

I watched my narcissistic father manipulate and emotionally-abuse my mother, myself, and my sister while I was in his life.

And, I watched him rise to a leadership position within DARPA — a government agency that has produced weather manipulation technology, “neurotechnology” (mind/behavior control), and questionable biotech.

DARPA says their research is for “national defense.” But I believe it has been used for warfare against the American public.

I’m dedicated to helping people reclaim their health and autonomy from narcissistic manipulation. As we do so in our families, we will do so in our country.

My book, THE SCORPION AND THE LION, helps people identify and free themselves from narcissistic abuse, on all levels in their life.

I don’t like or respect my father. But I do believe that on a spiritual level, his soul agreed to bring me into my family lineage, so I could break the cycle and heal my family’s karma in America.

And I am grateful for that.

Some modern religions invert the divine order of s

Some modern religions invert the divine order of spiritual leadership. Wisdom cultures knew that male ego must submit to female intuition to ensure a healthy society.

Swipe through the slides for an overview. (This is a complex and nuanced topic, and it’s difficult to summarize this in a few sentences for social media.)

Check out my latest TRUTH ACTIVIST podcast episode for the deep-dive! Comment “LEADERSHIP” for the link.

Further, some Christians (Catholicism, Orthodox, Baptist, etc.) prohibit women from religious leadership based on false teachings.

Jesus NEVER instructed female subservience; his ministry was funded by women (it’s in the Bible) and his egalitarian treatment of women SHOCKED his followers.

The Biblical references to female subservience are in the Pauline epistles, from a FORGED letter and a scribal alteration to the original text. Paul’s original texts recognized women as leaders (deacons, missionaries) in the churches.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg here! Christianity DIDN’T come from Jesus. Christianity largely corrupted Yeshua’s original teachings and erased the beliefs of his earliest followers.

Curious and want to learn more? Stay tuned for my next book (spring 2026)!

P*rn is a human enslavement technology, impacting

P*rn is a human enslavement technology, impacting our global physical/psychological/mental/spiritual health at the deepest levels.

It doesn’t liberate s*xuality, it harvests it. It doesn’t empower people, it psychologically and emotionally enslaves them.

No part of my message contains shame towards the men who use p*rn, or the women who participate in it. If someone feels shame reading this, that feeling originates within them. Our feelings are our own creations, our own responsibility. My message contains confronting and liberating LOVE.

Some say: “But s*x work can empower women!” There is no universe in which selling her s*xual energy into the Matrix empowers a woman. There is no world in which polluting her Oracle-Temple with the energies of ungentlemanly men gives her true power.

I love humanity far too much to be quiet on this topic.

Male g*nital mutilation (circumcision) has far-reaching impacts on brain development, relationships, emotional bonding, and s*xual wellbeing.

Why aren’t more people talking about this? One reason is the money at play: circumcision is a 6 billion dollar industry. Money — not health — is the priority in this industry, and mainstream science has been bought and paid for.

Did you know that common pharmaceuticals can alter personality? These supposedly “safe” drugs influence mental health, creativity, and s*xuality.

"Pharmaceuticals are sometimes necessary."

We often believe this... but it's not true! It's a marketing lie created by Big Pharma.

There are alternatives to EVERY single pharmaceutical. Sadly, this industry has gone to great lengths to smear, censor, and hide these alternatives.

I'm not saying it's bad to use pharmaceuticals. You can if you want to. However, many people don't like the synthetic ingredients or side effects. They intuitively prefer natural options.

Are you putting your health at risk with routine cancer screenings?

Many people (including medical professionals) believe “early detection saves lives.” They believe the benefits of screenings far outweigh any harms. Yet the medical data shows a different picture!

This information is why I avoid all cancer screenings, from mammograms to pap smears to melanoma biopsies.⁠

We have what we need to HEAL anything… but the cancer industry has gone to great lengths to hide the truth. Read the book to discover what this industry has hidden from you!
