My Drive for MORE

There was a time in my life when I had what most people would call a dream life.

I was successful by any measure. I began my career as an illustrator and artist, working for Walt Disney on Saturday morning cartoons, and went on to build a thriving career as a writer and creator in comic books, video games, film, and fiction. I married my best friend, raised two incredible children, and traveled the world.

And yet, inside, I carried a quiet, persistent ache for more.

Not more success or material milestones—though I craved growth there too—but more aliveness.

More connection.
More depth.
More me.

Even as I reached the pinnacles of my career, even as my husband and I bought our dream home, I felt the weight of conditioning telling me to stay small. To not want too much. To not BE too much.

And so I learned to silence that ache.

I hid my desires, downplayed my successes, and told myself the life I had was “good enough.” But the truth was, it wasn’t the life that needed to change—it was the way I was living it.

I wasn’t living in my full expression. I wasn’t saying FuckYes to the things that lit me up. I wasn’t allowing myself to truly FEEL the life I had created.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was longing for something sacred: a life that turned me on.

For years, I mistook that longing for a problem to solve. I thought the desire for MORE meant something was wrong with me, so I threw myself into shadow work, trying to “fix” what I thought was broken.

But the truth is, I wasn’t broken. And neither are you.

The ache for more isn’t something to fix—it’s something to follow. It’s a sacred compass, guiding you toward the fullest, most turned-on version of yourself.

When I finally understood that, everything changed.

I stopped trying to fix myself and started reclaiming myself.
I stopped shaming my desires and started celebrating them.
I started saying FuckYes to my pleasure, my aliveness, and my life.

And as I did, life began to open up. I started to live in my full expression. I allowed myself to be guided by what turned me on—not just in the bedroom, but in every area of my life.

I stopped shrinking. I stopped apologizing. I stopped pretending I had to settle for “good enough.”

That’s when I discovered what I now know to be true: The pursuit of a turned-on life isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.

Now, I live in a way that feels aligned, sovereign, and deliciously alive. And through my Life Turned On movement, I guide others to do the same.

If you’ve ever felt the ache for more—not because your life isn’t “good enough,” but because your soul is calling you to something bigger, deeper, and more alive—then I want you to know:

Your desires aren’t selfish. They’re sacred.

And when you start saying FuckYes to yourself, life has no choice but to meet you there.

Because the desire for more isn’t just a longing.

It’s a map.

And following it is what turns life on.

Yours turned on,
