Give yourself credit for surviving 2025, and be kind to new gym goers! My new routine for this year is reflective of how my resolutions in the past haven't always prioritized happiness so much as maximizing my time in favor for productivity. I also got a new reading lamp because I'm making the transition back to physical books instead of digital ones. But if you are interested in digital copies or physical, learn more about my newest release, Magic Reborn:

Today is a special episode because not only is it the last episode of 2025, but also the final installment of this series is OUT NOW! If you've started reading it, let me know your thoughts. You've been following along since I begun writing it, and know all about the ups and downs. Here's a little insight on how it all went down when I thought of the idea and potentially what's next.

It was the end of a decade, but the start of an age. And I was screaming, "Long Live Magic Reborn!" Mark your calendars, for real this time, because Magic Reborn is done! Dec. 30th can't come fast enough. I'm really excited for you all to read this book!!! I had the time of my life writing it.

This episode contains mentions of challenging topics related to Epstein.

Is it advisable to put my life on DnD while I try to finish this book? Or perhaps I should take a self-care night and dive into the endlessly fascinating read by Virginia Roberts Giuffre.... Or, maybe, someone will back into my fender in a parking lot. That works, too. Also, seven P.M. start time for a party? What do we think?

My second episode with the new mic and my first episode having been to therapy! I think it's a noticeable change on both fronts, so I hope you're encouraged through listening to this episode as much as I am and keep listening for more.

First podcast with the fancy new mic! Comment if you think it sounds great, or simply just keep listening ~ If you haven't already, the time to get caught up on Warriors of Magic is now since the final installment is coming end of this month. All SIX Pov's will be featured in this book and I couldn't be more excited for you all to read it.

YouTube isn’t going anywhere, though. We’re planning to shift the channel toward long-form writing content, book discussions, and reviews. We think you’ll really enjoy it. And of course, I’d love your feedback. Let me know what kinds of YouTube videos you’d like to see!
