My "awakening moment" couldn't have been more random… A Lil Peep song. I heard his music during a commercial, googled him and thought, hmm this is an interesting character. Intrigued I learned about his story. A brilliant, sensitive kid crushed by the diamond handcuffs of fame—fans, managers, pressure. My depression turned into rage. It was so fucking unfair. His story felt like a tragic, amplified version of the slow erasure I was living in my own life. Nine months later, in September 2022, the universe sent the final blow. The sudden, tragic death of my dog, Pepino (my only "child"). He was my whole life. That was the collapse. The deep dark hole. The disintegration of my identity. I was left in the raw, aching void of the unknown. In that void, I hired a life coach. I found the mystical—Reiki, energy healing, crystals—and got certified. But the Sage in me, the 15-year corporate pro, couldn’t just accept the mystical. I had to understand it. I remembered a line from a Lil Peep interview: “You can’t kill energy, energy doesn’t die.” That line became my lifeline. The Rebel (his art) pointed me to the Sage (the science). I went down the quantum physics rabbit hole, desperate for proof Pepino wasn’t just gone. What I found wasn’t only comfort; it was a map. The parallels between the spiritual world and the quantum world were undeniable. That’s where the Alchemist was born. I wasn’t just healing; I was decoding. I became my own case study. I took the raw materials of grief, rage, and an analytical mind and started building, testing, and codifying a process. The Hierarchy of Healing™ and Evolvement Alchemy™ weren’t theories; they were my way out. I built a repeatable, rinse-and-repeat system. Then I mastered the tools to power it—NLP, Hypnotherapy, Time Line Therapy®. In June 2023, I filed for divorce. In July 2023, my emotional liberation began. That liberation gave me the courage for my boldest Rebel act: walking away from a successful, six-figure corporate career to go all in on this work. I don’t just teach this framework; I’ve bet my entire livelihood on it. Now it’s my life’s work to give others the tools to turn their deepest pain into their most profound power.
