Hello Reader,

I'm writing this from an unusual place — home. Usually, I write in cafes, but last week was special. Before I continue my story where I left off last time, I want to share something profound that happened last week and ask for your thoughts.

Sacred Beginnings

Last Thursday, I became a father for the second time. Having worked with birth trauma through inner child healing, rebirthing, and holotropic breathwork, I've learned how impactful the birthing experience is for babies, even when everything appears smooth on the surface.

After our experience with our son's birth in the traditional healthcare system last year, which was traumatizing for all of us (despite being in one of the best, most inclusive, and most advanced maternity wards in the country), we chose a different path. We welcomed our daughter at home through water birth.

It was just the three of us, our midwife, and our daughter entering the world. No cold lights. No rush. No artificial environment. We let the umbilical cord finish pulsing naturally, gave space for bonding, and only hours later did we do the usual measurements. What struck me most was how peaceful she was. Our daughter entered the world without crying — a rare occurrence in hospital births but natural when birth happens in harmony with nature.

I believe this gentler approach minimized her birth trauma compared to modern hospital births. It's ironic that we call hospital births "traditional" — these soulless, artificially lit, rushed environments have existed for less than a century. What we did was actually the traditional way, how humans have welcomed new life for millennia.

Seeing my daughter for the first time was one of the most profound experiences in my life (along with my son's birth just 13 months ago). These sacred moments of new life came after experiencing three near-death experiences in one week in June 2023 — a story I'll share when the time is right.

The Art of Conscious Building

Why am I sharing this? While parenthood is beautiful, it's also incredibly demanding. For me, it required sacrificing business growth for something more meaningful to me. Leaving my engineering job in March 2024 wasn't perfectly timed from a business perspective. But it was perfectly timed for being present with my newborn son and supporting my wife with childcare while she was working on her book to meet a deadline from her publisher.

This choice allows me to work from home while supporting my wife during her postpartum period — a privilege I deeply cherish. I often think about my former colleagues who barely saw their newborns, catching only brief glimpses in the morning and evening. That reality helped cement my decision to choose a different path.

This journey has taught me something profound about building a conscious business: Sometimes the path forward isn't about pushing harder — it's about surrendering to what life is asking of you while staying committed to your vision in the long run.

Working with just 2-4 focused hours daily this past year taught me something profound: It's not about the time you have, but how aligned you are when you show up.

From Struggle to Wisdom

I got many people admiring my courage. I had to admit though, we had savings to sustain us for months through this transition in the worst-case scenario, which helped me remain calm. What seemed like a leap of faith was actually a series of small, intentional steps over the years. Through my own journey, I've learned to help my clients see their current situations from new perspectives, finding possibilities they might not have considered before.

With a newborn and a toddler, I've had to embrace a different approach to business building. For the past year, I've worked with just 3 focused hours daily maximum, often taking whole days off and navigating through sleep deprivation.

What excites me most is helping others navigate this path more efficiently than I did. Having invested over $50,000 in my own growth — including both personal development and business education — I’ve learned firsthand what works and what doesn’t when you’re balancing multiple life commitments.

In 2019, after years of struggles, I had finally overcome my struggles with dating. I felt called to share what I learned. Like many aspiring coaches, I was drawn to the promises of quick success — a business coach guaranteed we could launch in just 90 days, working 2-3 hours a day.

That experience taught me a crucial lesson: my first business coach, at a different life stage, couldn't relate to my reality. While I was juggling a demanding engineering job and finishing my PhD, he was teaching from a place of established success. When most people in the program failed to launch their businesses, we were labeled as lazy or uncommitted. But the truth was simpler: one-size-fits-all approaches rarely work.

Up to that point, I’d learned from some of the best coaches in their fields. But this experience made me realize that the path to success isn't about following someone else's revenue targets or timeline. It's about creating a business that serves both your purpose and your life's priorities.

This is why it's so important to follow in the footsteps of someone who is just one or two steps ahead of you, someone who has been in a similar situation and truly understands your reality. Working 3 hours a day hits differently when you're sipping mojitos on the beach versus when you're juggling a 9-5 job and family life, where those three hours are all the time you have for yourself (if at all).

As a father of two young children, my priority is building sustainably while being present for my family. This might mean slower growth but it's real, authentic, and aligned with my values.

The biggest breakthrough? The more I surrender to what is while staying committed to my vision, the more naturally abundance flows in unexpected ways. This isn't just theory — I'm actively working through my own limiting beliefs around money and abundance while teaching these principles in my 1:1 program, experiencing new breakthroughs alongside my clients.

What I've discovered is that abundance is simply a natural consequence of something deeper — helping my clients reconnect with their inherent self-worth and align with their true purpose. Through my Integral method, which integrates body, mind, and soul, we create a complete revealing process. My role isn't to give you answers but to guide you in uncovering the wisdom that already exists within you.

If this approach resonates with you, you can learn more here. I'll be sharing more about the method in upcoming newsletters. For now, here's what others have to say about my work:

This brings me to something I'm curious about...

I've shared my journey of balancing family life with building something meaningful, of choosing purposeful uncertainty over corporate security. Now I'd love to hear yours.

What resonates most with where you are right now? If you could take this quick 1-minute survey, it would help me create content that truly serves where you are in your journey.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts — I know how precious time is, especially if you're juggling multiple commitments like I am.

Whether you're celebrating Easter or simply enjoying the spring weekend, may it be a time of presence and connection.

Talk to you soon!
