Mentor Notes #109 - When Success Isn’t Enough…


Mentor Note #109

"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean, in a drop." – Kahlil Gibran

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on my own spiritual path. It’s funny how the universe works - I was deep in thought about it earlier last week, and then I stumbled across an interview with Madonna and Jay Shetty that echoed the very same feelings I had been sitting with.

After my short but wild time in the spotlight, I felt an undeniable pull inward. Outward success gave me incredible experiences, but it didn’t quiet the questions whispering in my heart. I knew there had to be more to life, more to my soul’s journey, than just fame and performing.

I began searching, opening myself to practices and paths I’d never considered before - Kabbalah, Buddhism, A Course in Miracles, Bikram yoga, reiki, meditation. Each became a doorway to deeper understanding.

I devoured the words of Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Sonia Choquette, Louise L Hay, Paulo Coelho, and Kahlil Gibran.
These teachers reminded me of something essential: our lives are not just about what we achieve, but how much we awaken to who we truly are.

What I discovered was less about finding something outside of me, and more about remembering what had always been there.

The Takeaway

Spiritual practice isn’t about perfection - it’s about presence.
It’s about choosing to see beyond the surface of life and asking deeper questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is mine to bring to the world?

The more we lean into those questions, the more aligned our lives become.

Most importantly, everyone’s path is different, and the soul’s lessons are unique to you. In Kabbalah, they speak of the vessel and the light, and how our growth comes from identifying what we are here to repair. In Buddhism, it’s the recognition that suffering can become a teacher. In yoga, it’s the union of body, mind, and spirit. In Christianity, it’s living in alignment with love.

The language may change, but the essence is the same: every soul has its own journey, and every path holds wisdom.

Something to Try

This week, give yourself 10 minutes of quiet. Place your hand on your heart and breathe deeply. Ask:

What truth within me is ready to be heard?
Where am I being called to grow right now?

Write down whatever comes, without judgment. Often the whisper you hear is the first step toward clarity.

A SOULFUL INVITATION:

If you’ve been feeling the call to explore more, beyond surface success and the busy pace of life, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Through my 1:1 mentoring, we journey into self-discovery, creative alignment, and spiritual practice, so you can reconnect with the part of you that knows the way forward.

Until next week,

Much love,

Mentor Note #118 Mentor Note: "Do not wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect." - Zoey Sayward Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This week, I’ve been reflecting on how often we wait for inspiration, for confidence, or for conditions to feel “just right.” Watching my daughter step into her dance concert and performing a few weeks ago reminded me that the only way to create magic is to start where you are, with what you have, right now. There is never a perfect moment, and...

Mentor Note #117 Mentor Note: "Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life." - Confucius Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, This week, I’ve been immersed in my daughter’s dance concerts - tech runs, rehearsals, and all the behind-the-scenes hustle. Watching them reminded me so much of my own life as a performer. I remember the countless hours of rehearsals, the early mornings, the late nights… and yet, it never felt like work. Not once did I dread stepping on stage. Every moment of...

Mentor Note #116 Mentor Note: “Intuition is the direct messenger of the soul.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves Lets Dive in... Hello Reader, I picked up the book, Women Who Run With the Wolves again this week, and it hit me- maybe more than ever, how deeply women have been taught to mistrust their own inner voice. The author, Clarissa writes about intuition as our ancient instinct, our inner wildness, our fierce knowing… and yet so many of us have learned to override...
