I walked into the bathroom the other morning to the most shocking sight:
Zeus and Storm (our two kittens) sitting obediently at 2 school desks along with Kano (our friendās dog) at a blackboard šØāš«š¶
Kano, a fluffy cream-coloured dog with legs too short for his body, wore a pair of dark-rimmed Librarianās glasses while the kittens both wore white button up shirts with Kanoās logo on the front pocket.
What in the worldā¦
When I opened the door, no one said anything and no one moved.
Kano just looked at me with an expression on his face that reminded me of Ms Knowles from High School – severe, impatient and even offended.
How dare I interrupt his life coaching session with Zeus and Stormā¦
Zeus and Storm on the other hand looked relieved.
Finally! Now we donāt have to look at the blackboard š„³š„³
Then Kano started to growlā¦ so I tip toed backwards out of the room and shut the door quietly.
Whew! That was close š„µ
As I slipped away to make my breakfast (5 fried eggs, half an avocado, a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and mountain of salt from a salt mine here in Peru), I couldnāt help but wonder:
Did Kano really know how to coach someone, let alone 2 fluffy little kittens heād tried to gobble up the day before?
It all seemed a bit ridiculous to meā¦ but thatās life coaching for you š¤·āāļø
Donāt get me wrong –
Iām not saying that all life coaching is worse than burnt toastā¦ or that all life coaches are cute fluffy dogs.
Iām just saying that unless a coach helps you get into the body, feeling all the icky-sticky stuff in the nervous system, itās all pretty surface-level if you ask me.
Maybe you learn a few tricks (like Zeus and Storm did with Kano) but will it give you the tools to finally clear deep-set issues in your system?
I think not.
The reason why is because most issues aren’t mental issues. They’re not cognitive problems. The mental aspect is just a reflection or manifestation of what’s happening in the body. Leaves on a tree in other words.
Thatās where Rageheart comes in.
Rageheart is a crash-course in how to work directly with your nervous system, fight-or-flight response and your body – the hidden root of a racing mind, trouble sleeping, imposter syndrome and more š¤
Solve things at the level of the nervous system and the manifestation in the mind usually dissolves on its own.
But donāt take my word for itā¦

P.S. Psychedelics like Ayahuasca, Magic Mushrooms, Huachuma and Iboga are also fantastic tools for getting out of the mind and into the bodyā¦ but thatās a story for another time.
They also tend to be far more intense than something like Rageheartā¦ so before you sign up for a retreat or ceremony, consider signing up to Rageheart now and build a solid foundation of embodiment and connection to feeling so you lower the chances of overwhelm and the dreaded “freak out”.
