Give yourself permission to step away. Or give yourself permission to step back. Not every lesson is yours to teach. Not every outcome is yours to control. Sometimes love looks like space. Reflection Questions: Am I helping… or am I trying to control the outcome? What lesson might they need to experience without my interference? What is one situation where you know it’s time to step back?

@Daniel Horgan I’d like to introduce Dan Horgan. We connected late last year through a mutual friend and have had several powerful discussions around spirituality, healing, and finance. Dan is a former high school teacher, an international Human & Indigenous Rights advocate, serves as Assistant to the Lakota Nation Treaty Council. Dan is also an expert in taxes. He’s also lived in Kenya. I’ll be sharing some of Dan’s insights on taxes and what you need to understand if you’re serious about building wealth. Making money is one thing. Keeping it requires strategy. A tax strategy is important.

When are you going to rest? Not collapse. Not burn out. Not crash. Actually rest. And enjoy it. You have limits. You have a nervous system. You have a soul that needs space — not just sleep, but silence. Not just time off. This photo of me holding a coconut was taken in Puerto Rico about three years ago. I remember feeling deeply relaxed… peaceful… present. And if I’m honest? I also felt guilty. One of my best friends was back in California, driving his taxi all day just to make ends meet. I knew so many people were struggling. Part of me wondered, Who am I to feel this good right now? But here’s what I’ve learned: We deserve a break too. The photo with the pillows was taken during one of my last nights in Nigeria. During that trip, my sisters — Chief Aikulola, Ifa Lola, and Hadiya — reminded me that comfort, even a little luxury, can belong in our spiritual retreats. Rest doesn’t make us less spiritual. Comfort doesn’t make us less committed. Peace doesn’t make us selfish. In fact, it makes us whole. And that’s the plan moving forward. So back to you… When will you rest? Not when everything is done. Not when you’ve earned it. Not when you break. Rest is not a reward. It’s part of being human. Maybe today you close the laptop 30 minutes early. Maybe you take the walk. Maybe you sit in the quiet without reaching for your phone. The world will keep spinning. And you’ll remember — you were made to be alive.

@Lisa Hopps Family, please help me welcome Lisa Hopps into the Circle. Healing is in her bloodline. Though she built a career in law, she listened to the deeper call on her life and transitioned into becoming a Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncturist. In a time where many in our community are seeking alternatives to conventional medicine, acupuncture remains something we hear about… but don’t always fully understand. What does it really do? How can it support us? Where does it fit in our healing journey? We now have someone inside the Circle who can help us explore those answers. I’m excited for the conversations, the insights, and the expansion that’s coming.
