Thank you to everyone who’s already booked a spot in the May is for Mayhem Coaching Project where, from May 1-31, I am gifting 20 coaching calls over 31 days.

Calls have begun and it’s been such a delight having these conversations! I’ve been writing on Substack weekly since April 2020, and it’s a total dream to chat with you and see your faces and hear what’s on your hearts and minds.

And I hope to see many more of you at tomorrow’s workshop!

Today’s inspiration:

I want to trust in the universe so much that I give up playing God. I want to stop struggling to hold things together. I want to experience such security that the concept of “allowing” —trusting that the appropriate forms will emerge—ceases to be scary. I want to surrender my fear of the universe and join with everyone I know in an organization that opens willingly to its environment, participating gracefully in the unfolding dance of order.”

―Margaret Wheatley, Leadership and the New Science

Free workshop is TOMORROW

I am so excited for this!

I spent the bulk of the weekend revisiting my sources; jotting down new ideas and fresh connections on flip charts in my living room; and tramping around my neighborhood saying weird phrases like “the strange attractor is our search for meaning” into a voice note on my phone while trying to avoid the confused stares of my neighbors.

All of this to say:

We’re going to go on a journey tomorrow and I hope you’ll hop on the 🛸spaceship🛸 with me.

Here are the details:

I am teaching a framework for incorporating the lessons of Chaos Theory at my FREE workshop on May 15th: Chaos Is A Friend Of Mine, and you’re invited to register.

Learn about Chaos Theory and its practical application for building personal and collective resiliency through tumultuous times.

You will consider how disorder, unpredictability, and lack of control are natural parts of change and growth, and discover a model through which you can reconstruct the default narratives you have about yourself and the world.

You'll leave the workshop with a concrete framework you can apply toward imagining, creating, and living a new future beyond the limitations in possibility insisted upon by the culture-writ-large.

COST: FREE

The workshop is 75 minutes plus a Q+A/conversation that will go fifteen minutes or as long as there are questions/comments.

The workshop will be recorded if you can’t make it live <3

Self Made Community Spotlights

One of the most beautiful parts of being an entrepreneur is plugging into the ecosystem of other makers, creators, experts, and service providers and learning from their talent, expertise, and wisdom.

It’s a true joy to share the offerings of a few friends of Self Made:

First up:

From my dear friend and colleague, Anne Marie Cribbin, over at Thirsty for Wonder:

Join Anne Marie Cribbin, Founder of Thirsty for Wonder, for the Sober For Summer 7-Day Challenge! From May 20th, go on a transformative journey of self-discovery, radical permission, and boundless joy. Each day, explore different aspects of sobriety, gather invaluable tools, and connect with a supportive community. Whether you’re curious about sobriety or seeking additional support, this challenge offers a safe space to reclaim your power and authenticity. Register here and kick off your summer with clarity, intention, and genuine joy!

Next:

I can’t mention “ecosystem” without shouting out praise from every last rafter for my business mentor, Jessica Lackey. If you are a small business owner (or aspiring small business owner) you know how much advice there is out there, and you probably also know (or are beginning to suspect) that the vast majority of the advice is either irrelevant to your business at best or total and complete horseshit at worst.

Jessica is SO SMART and SO GENEROUS and working with her has me actually excited about the businessy-type aspects of what I do, which is a complete 180 from where I was just a few months ago. She’s down to earth and accessible and I feel so lucky to have found her and to get to learn from her.

Finally!

Longtime Self Made community member (and now friend to me, Dani), Rayleen Courtney recently launched The Somatic Coven, which she describes as “a neuro-informed, magickal learning community for radical somatic reclamation.” There are lots of ways to interact with Rayleen’s work, and I’m eager to learn more from her as her offerings continue to roll out over the summer.

Incidentally! Rayleen and I will be in conversation on June 26th for Self Made’s next community workshop. The topic is Investing in Divestment, where we’ll discuss Rayleen’s move from making six-figures as a political consultant to living in a converted school bus and living truly minimally. More info to come! Please save the date for now.

SELF MADE is a call to deeply connect with the self—self-knowledge, self-trust, self-development—and then to make, small step by step, a life that you savor. Posts are written by me, Dani Cirignano, writer, Certified Integral Coach, and Holistic Recovery Guide, based in San Francisco, CA.
