Making JGB is A
life documented in the process of becoming

I am documenting life as it unfolds.

Making JGB is a living documentation project, an ongoing record of a year of my life, capturing experience in real time without assuming I know why it is happening or to what end. For now, the intention is simple: to notice and preserve what is passing through, before it collapses into narrative, identity, or meaning.

This space exists to honor lived experience as an intelligent process in its own right.

Not as a performance. 
Not as a brand. 
Not as a polished story told after the fact. 

WHAT I’M DOING HERE

Each day, I record voice notes as a way of staying in relationship with myself. These recordings are unscripted and uncurated. They capture thought, sensation, emotion, insight, confusion, and integration exactly as they arise.

Those recordings are then transcribed and gently organized using AI-supported tools I’ve developed to help me:

  • track recurring themes and patterns,

  • notice what is asking to be processed,

  • understand how meaning emerges over time,

  • and preserve the integrity of the original experience.

Rather than forcing coherence too early, I allow patterns to reveal themselves across weeks, months, and years. This creates a living archive of my inner and outer life, one that may later become writing, teaching, frameworks, or creative work, when the timing is right.

Nothing here is rushed.

Nothing is optimized for output.

WHY THIS MATTERS TO ME

For most of my life, I was chasing an insatiable desire to “make it.”

Every waking moment was devoted to achieving what I felt I didn’t have access to: connection, power, money, recognition. I believed relentless hard work and proximity to success would eventually deliver belonging and safety.

I worked in film and live music, surrounded by celebrities and media moguls, convinced I was climbing toward a future where I would finally arrive, perhaps even write a rags-to-riches memoir that proved it had all been worth it.

Instead, I burned out repeatedly. I lost myself to alcoholism. I pushed my body and nervous system past their limits. I came close to dying more than once.

What I eventually came to learn is this: 

MAKING IT IS NOT A DESTINATION

Making it is a practice

It is the deliberate, often uncomfortable process of building a purpose-aligned life, learning to trust the unfolding, and allowing myself to become whoever and whatever I am meant to be.

It is the process of becoming.

Letting Go Of Control

Making JGB is the story of loosening my grip over how things should be.

It is about discernment instead of force, presence instead of control, and learning how to stay with myself as life unfolds. Through this process, I am healing, awakening, and unmasking after years of dissociation and living on autopilot.

In 2018, I made the decision to recover from addiction and save my life. That choice changed everything. As I began to put myself first and do the work, mentors and insights appeared.

Dr. Randy Berlin helped me understand that there was nothing inherently wrong with me. I was, as he described it, “a bundle of habits”, shaped by defense mechanisms and conditioning that had once kept me safe but were now keeping me disconnected from my truth.

Together, we translated those insights into what eventually became Get Unstuck. It is less a program than a lived process, one that taught me how to regulate my nervous system, clean up the past, release control, and move forward without abandoning myself. It remains the most impactful framework I have ever lived inside, and it is now the core offering I share.

HOW I ORIENT TO MY WORK

I do not consider myself a coach or a healer.

I consider myself an embodied leader documenting my path in real time, so others can walk alongside and witness what becomes possible when we stop forcing outcomes.

I lead by example, through presence, honesty, and integrity. I stay with what is happening in my body and my life, feeling what passes through without judgment, and allowing meaning to emerge rather than be manufactured.

At present, I make a living through presence. My gift is in the grounded energy that helps people feel safe, and in my ability to see and communicate truth with care.

I also work somatically and musically. Through rhythmic entrainment, ecstatic dance, chanting, and sound, I enter trance states that allow emotional energy to move and transmute. I experience this as a form of somatic musical intelligence, one I intend to honor by singing and dancing as much as possible, both for my own joy and for the resonance it creates in others.

WHAT THIS IS BECOMING

In 2026, my commitment is simple: to document.

Not to perfect or polish, but to capture, organize, and stay present with what life sends my way.

How to Make Yourself is the ecosystem emerging from this work. It is a living library of tools, lessons, frameworks, reflections, and resources that support the process of becoming. It is not about fixing yourself or reaching an end state. It is about learning how to live, create, heal, and evolve without abandoning your truth or getting trapped in perfection.

I am not deciding the final form in advance. I am allowing it to be shaped through sustained attention, honesty, and care.

AN INVITATION

If you are here, you are invited to witness.

You may choose to walk alongside through following this project, subscribing to the newsletter, or engaging with the work as it evolves. Some offerings are available now, others will emerge over time, and some may remain undefined until they are ready.

This is not a promise of certainty.

It is an invitation into process.

THIS IS MAKING JGB

This is my process of becoming.
