A little lost as a Starseed
And a reminder you’re here on purpose

I don’t make any money from Medium, or YouTube, and taking clients is the only way I’m currently bringing in cash. (working on expanging that… stay tuned). If you like what you read or listen to for free on YouTube, sending a little note my way would really mean a lot. I also love your comments!! So leave those too! ❤
If there is one thing that stays constant in this life, it’s that change always finds us.
At this moment, I feel like I’ve lived a year within a month. I’m back on the West Coast, where I spent nearly the entirety of my 20s in the same, small surf town that boasts an inordinate amount of tourists with the return of the sun each year. It’s got its quirks and small-town nuances, but to me, it is wild, alive, and homelike.
And while this town has a reputation for spinning you out of your housing faster than you can say “rent deposit,” if you can be fluid, flexible, and attentive to the subtle changes this life offers you, things tend to have a way of working out. I’ve been here, back and forth, in and out, for over nine years.
On the surface, I’m not really wired for fluidity. I’m wired for confrontation (mars in gemini, anyone?); structure; order. Truths that have become buzz-phrases like ‘let go and let god’ (god = universal energy), ‘leap and the net will appear’, and allowing things to unfold are practices I consciously (and uncomfortably) embody. They’ve become part of my life because of a long, devoted, messy practice — not some innate blessing of an ability to move like water.
Today, it feels like all I can hold in my hands is change. And as I struggle to find the words for the grief, hope, fear and faith that surround me this month — relationships shifting tectonically beneath my feet, self-discovery that makes me feel like a continuous series of russian dolls, and comfort-zone exits as I embody more of my power (and hold more space for more people), I remember, as lame as it sounds, that if I can’t change the weather, I can change myself.
Ironically, as I stand at this new vista of shifting landscapes, I feel like somehow I’ve arrived back at the centre of Starseed loneliness. I find mself desiring a deep connection with someone, anyone, who gets it. To be deeply seen and understood — looked at in the eyes and seen for all the wild humanity (and cosmic energy) that I am. These moments often occur in places like music festivals and far-off events, where every human get to leave behind their day-to-day baggage to focus on being human — for a few days — and nothing else. When I can’t seek connection in intentionally consctructed events (and am frankly not looking for the stimulation), it is into nature I go. It is into the woods, near the rivers, and by the ocean that I find a similar connection that seems to weave like a near-invisible thread amongst the waves of humanity.
We are not here at an easy time.
You know that.
You did not incarnate at this time because you like to take the easy road.
You incarnated at this time because your heart can stand it. Because, despite all the noise and suffering and loneliness that feels like you’re wading through in this particular moment (or at any moment you find yourself reading this), your soul responds to a drumbeat that is neither felt nor heard by many. It is one of leadership. Of Unity. Of weaving the thread. Just by living — you are teaching others there is another way.
Just by existing, you are showing others Light.
By being brave, and courageous, and vulnerable enough to live a life truly aligned with who you are, you are clearing the path for so many others to follow in your footsteps.
(And if you feel the need to do an exaserbated eyeroll, I invite you to do so here).
But please, if anything, do not give up hope.
Tune out of the media for a bit. Tune out of the noise. Tune into nature; into creativity, to your own beating heart. Allow your frequency to expand and let your energy be felt.
Do not dim yourself down — for then those who are looking for you will not be able to see you.
The universe needs you.
I need you.
I started this blog in 2020 when I was truly at rock bottom. I’d lost everything I knew — my housing, my sense of place, my self-image (cue: 15lbs of discomfort in my vessel and a shaved head), my health. All I could do most days was walk gently in the frigid Atlantic winter and nap, often. I couldn’t read back then — the concentration was more than I could manage.
But I could write.
I started this blog with no expectation of anyone reading it. As a starseed starved for connection, understanding, and a place to put what I was receiving from my guides, I knew, however, that I had things to share. And so, with no expectation, I thrust them into an online space.
Between Substack and Medium combined, there are now well over 800 of you that read this.
That means that there are over 800 of you who feel some sort of resonance in my words — something is landing for you, something feels reflected. Maybe, in the best case scenario, some of you are beginning to feel like maybe you’re not the only ones out there, too.
I am the mirror that reminds you you are not alone.
It is my mission, my honour, and *truly* my pleasure to serve as a vessel of communication, energy and magic at this time on earth.
I just love you guys!!
Which, of course, post-gush, brings me to an update:
Remember when I did the $100 reading special back in October? Welll, by a twist of universal nudging (and a currently horrifying wifi conenction, by modern standards), I’m pulling back from doing live readings for the next month. So, no face-to-face meetings — for now.
It does mean, however, that my recorded readings are now a highlight of my current offers — and the best way to work with me one-on-one, for now.
Recorded readings are $111.
Those of you who have received readings from me before know the potency of having someone tune in, switch on, and channel just for you.
Those of you who haven’t — this is a great opportunity to try. (Skip to 16 seconds to skip the preamble!)

In the meantime, I will be pulling inwards to gather my magic as I germinate the seeds of my next becoming.
Clothing.
Group programs.
Energy Classes.
Inner Sanctuary.
Oh my.
And if you’re feeling lost this month, or a little lonelier that usual, I invite you to follow in my own suit: make your internal world as rich and abundant as you possibly can — so that when you feel ready, and the energy shifts again, you can spill out into expression, sharing, and connection.
Once more for those in the back:
You are not alone.
As always, I love you all deeply and I thank you for being here.
Hope this one feels like a call from a friend.
Xo,
Kate
