What if the “rules” you followed in 2024 are the very things trapping you?


“We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are.”
— Max De Pree


A QUESTION FOR THE NEW YEAR...

We’ve been told our entire lives that “playing by the rules” is the only way to stay safe, succeed, and fit in.

But what if those very rules are quietly confining you—limiting your real potential and keeping you from living the life you crave?

That’s why we created The Brilliant Rebellion: to help you identify and break free from the constructs you never even questioned.

You’ll join a community of free-thinkers who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo—and who support each other through every personal breakthrough.

Here’s what you get when you step inside:

  • Get Fresh Perspectives from our Live Soul Mixers (twice a month): Break outdated beliefs and find new ways of thinking through thought-provoking and soul-stirring discussions.
  • Connection & Community: Enter a safe, supportive, and private space to connect with fellow Rebels who get it—no fluff, and no judgment.
  • Healing & Growth: Access tools and support that will allow you to finally step out of the past, away from beliefs and behaviors that don’t serve you, and toward a more authentic and individualized life
  • Immersive In-Person Events: Experience the transformative power of real-life conversations, exercises, and friendships that leave you feeling truly seen.

We know it can feel daunting to shake off the beliefs you’ve carried your whole life. But if you’re hearing that inner voice whispering, “There’s more for me out there…”, it’s time to listen.

Join us now and discover what happens when you write your own rules.

Ready to see what’s on the other side of those cages? Join The Brilliant Rebellion—and let’s find out together.

P.S. Our first Soul Mixer is on January 7th at 1pm ET/10am PT and is called The Infinite Now, and we chose it as our first one for a reason. Read more about it below or click the image to see our upcoming topics!

Soul Mixer Summary

Anxiety and depression can quickly take over our lives when we focus too much on the past or the future.

Releasing expectations of outcomes, and of ourselves, through the skill of presence is the only path to living a joyful life.

In this Soul Mixer, we’ll explore the role that the past, present, and future play in our lives. You’ll be asked questions that peel back the layers of un-presence in your own life. Together, let’s explore the Infinite Now, the bliss of present existence that we all have access to in every moment.

WHAT IF you are just one question away from the answer you've been waiting for? Have you ever had someone sit across from you and really listen? To the point that you kept looking away because it was a bit uncomfortable? Why is it so hard for us to have someone see us? Well, it’s because we’ve been trained to not talk to strangers from a very early age. We’ve been told that we shouldn’t say something unless it’s fully thought through. And we’ve learned that it’s better to NOT have attention...

I remember it like yesterday. I was sitting on a couch with a group of beautiful women at a retreat. One where most of us had just met, yet we felt like we had known each other for years. I felt so comfortable around them. We...

At our Farm-To-Table Dinner at Treehouse Vero This past weekend, I made a new local friend. We met at the gym and the very next day, we saw each other on the jetbridge of a flight heading to Westchester, NY. It felt like kismet. For weeks, I checked in on him. I invited him to different events or to hang out, but things just didn’t line up. Finally, about two weeks ago, I got an invitation to a farm-to-table dinner at a favorite local spot. I sent him the invite—and he said yes. The day-of,...
