  • "Some of you know I’ve been gearing up to start my business, launch my brand, tell my story, and create content. That’s what I want to do. But what am I actually doing? None of that.

And honestly, this isn’t new for me. I’ve been struggling with how to show up online for a long time. I’m someone who’s very goal-oriented and disciplined, so in my mind, I think, “All I have to do is set the goal to create content and then just do it.” But the truth is, every time I try to show up, I hit a huge block.

I am doing a lot of inner work behind the scenes. I do intend to tell my story. I do intend to create content. But it’s not going to be simple or easy for me. I’m not going to show up like everyone else, and I’m learning to be okay with that. I’m giving myself grace and trying to figure out what actually works for me.

Part of the story I’m going to tell is that I received a late diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Yes, you can have both—and it gets even more complex when you do. Learning that I’m autistic has led me into this process of unmasking, and it’s brought up big questions like: “How do I even show up in the world?” Because the truth is, I don’t really know. I’ve been masking my whole life.

So here I am, trying to put myself out there, and I just don’t know how. I’m not someone who can casually sit down and whip out a post. Everything I do has to come from depth and authenticity. And I keep trying all these methods that seem to work for other people—carousel posts, storytelling strategies, branding content—and every time I try to plug into that formula, it doesn’t feel right. It doesn’t feel true.

What I need is a method that works for me—one that allows me to show up as my real, unfiltered self. Because I have a message. I have a story to tell. I know I’m here to give something. I’ve known this my whole life. I’ve had visions of this moment for as long as I can remember, and now I’m finally here. It’s time.

  • I'm in the middle of a big #transition—leaving the job I’ve been at for the past year because I’m finally ready to go out on my own. I’m launching my own #business, building my #personalbrand, and starting to create videos—especially #dancevideos.

About two years ago, something wild happened: I became extremely #sensitive to sound. I feel frequency and energy in my body in ways I never imagined possible. It's been intense and honestly pretty hard—motors, speakers, anything man-made overwhelms my system. That’s why I live in a cabin in the woods now—the silence helps me feel grounded and safe.

But there’s a gift in all this. My #sensitivity lets me feel music deeply—and that’s where the dance comes in. The first time I stepped onto an #ecstaticdance floor, something in me cracked open. I spent so much of my life being told I was too loud, #toomuch, too intense. That day, all the suppression dropped. I exploded into presence. I arrived. Fully.

Since then, I’ve discovered that dancing puts me in a kind of trance where I can channel #joy. Real, radiant joy. When I move, I feel it flow through me—and when people witness it, they light up too. That’s why I’m making these dance videos. I want to share that joy. I want you to #feel it. Can you feel it?
  • When was the last time you had a #danceparty during a lightning storm? After many hours sitting in front of a screen, I decided to test out my new camera and make time for PLAY. 

Much of the healing work I've been doing has centered around releasing shame related to being TOO MUCH. I spent most of my life suppressing my too-much-ness, but now I'm making big efforts to become better aligned with my #authenticself. Through the #unmasking process, I've been allowing myself to just BE, regardless of how others perceive me. This journey has led me to tap into feelings of #JOY I had never experienced before... and it turns out it's INFECTIOUS. 

I'm currently transitioning out of my full-time job - I'm ready to go out on my own and start my own #business, which means putting my authentic self out there so I can attract my people and build #community... not to mention spreading much needed JOY!!

  • Hey yo, what's up? It's me, JGB! Coming to you live, from the Diamante Valley in Costa Rica.
  • Not so long ago, I started vibrating.

Weird, I know. Kundalini awakening, maybe?

Whatever it is, it's made me incredibly sensitive to sound / energy / emotion. It's a lot. Too much. Intense.

But there's a silver lining! I've come to discover it's given me the ability to FEEL music and emotions carried through sound in such a way that my body can't hold back from 'expressing the music'.

It's become my new favorite thing! Dancing. Letting go and allowing my body to perform the music however it flows through me.

Sometimes it's silly, playful. Sometimes it's sexy, powerful. Depends on the song.

Whatever the tune, it brings me great joy to channel and express the music... so imma keep at it!! ❤️
