It's funny, I have a tough time calling myself a 'journalist,' perhaps it's just one of the hats I wear. Deep down I get a lot out of connecting our individual and collective narratives to world events. Why do we create the world the way it is? What does that tell us about how we can change our world? I founded CE in 2009 as I love inspiring people to make lasting shifts in their individual consciousness, which sets conditions for deep meaningful change in our world. Part of that story though, is looking at current events and asking big questions, which is where that 'journalist' hat comes in. I've been inspired to set forth a new style of media, something you might call 'transformative media' or 'conscious media.' It's media that tells stories without polarity and division. That digs to the 'truth' and isn't afraid to look, and that helps viewers make change in their lives as a result of what they see. It keeps in mine physiological regulation and how difficult it can be for people to change their beliefs as well. I believe humans can make meaningful changes in themselves and in our world faster than we give ourselves credit for, and believe it's a holistic effort to make this happen. Oh, I like living in nature, ave 3 cats and 3 alpacas. I experience my life with 1 female human as well.
