Studio 23

When the world decides to lose its fu***ng mind, I choose to meet it with kindness, compassion, and presence.

Watching the monks walk, mile after mindful mile, with Aloka beside them is a reminder that intention matters, even now.

That’s the energy I’m standing in and sharing.

🌅 Good Morning! Day 93 (1/26/2026) Begins - We have just started our walk from Wake Forest, North Carolina, heading to Louisburg. The journey continues through North Carolina, one step at a time. Due to inclement weather, there will be no visitation at our stops today, but you can follow our journey on the Live Map!

📍 Use the Live Map in the pinned/featured post on top of our page to track our journey today. Check last night’s update for full details.

Have a peaceful day! May we be mindful in everything we do throughout the day. We invite you to walk with us in spirit. May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏

"Twice to the Other Side: How Death Taught Me to Live"

21 years ago today, I faced the unimaginable: two life-saving surgeries, a near-death experience, and a fight to bring my daughter, Triniti, into this world. It was the hardest and most transformative day of my life.

I "died" for a moment. In that stillness, I found peace, not fear. It’s an experience that changed me forever, teaching me how precious life is, how resilience can grow from pain, and how each breath is a gift.

The journey didn’t end when I woke up in the ICU. It took grit to relearn how to walk, talk, and simply exist, all while caring for a newborn. But here I am today, stronger and more grateful than ever, sharing the lessons I learned on the edge of life and death.

This story isn’t just about survival, it’s about living. I hope it inspires you to see your struggles in a new light and embrace the beauty of your own path.
