You Are Not Broken.

Reclaiming the Fullness of Being Human Through Integration

“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” — Carl Jung

We live in a world that teaches us to escape being human.
Be happy. Don’t be a downer. Keep going. Hustle harder—go go go.
Celebrate productivity—even if it means losing yourself in the process.
And if you’re feeling sad? Someone will inevitably say,
"I’m so sorry you’re feeling that way,"
like sadness is a problem to be fixed.
But I think to myself: “Why?
I’m
glad I can feel deeply.”
Isn’t that part of the whole point of being human?


The Escape from Being Human
A lot of people go to great lengths to fix or numb the uncomfortable parts of being human.
We stifle or avoid emotions—numbing, distracting, bypassing—
anything to get away from the parts of life that feel hard.

But that’s not only unrealistic...
It’s a waste of the opportunity.
What if being human wasn’t just a list of problems to solve,
something to fix or avoid or survive?
What if being human is a whole experience to be lived?
Something to be celebrated and valued?
(Which I believe it is—fully!)


Why I Created The Human Academy I created The Human Academy because I spent so much time trying to fix life
that I was missing the chance to actually live it.
I chased happiness, clarity, healing, and peace
and spent a lot of my life just trying to escape discomfort.
Then I stopped trying to escape my humanness.
I started learning how to be in it and with it.

So, What Is Integration? To me, being human means feeling deeply.
Every feeling.
It means exploring, questioning, fumbling, grieving, laughing, breaking open, and rebuilding.
It means getting lost sometimes and still choosing to wander until you find yourself again. 
Integration is about letting your full self show up
your messy, emotional, reactive human self,
and your grounded, wise, calm spirit self
Humans feel impatience—because we are finite.
Spirit does not feel impatience—it is infinite. 
It’s not about choosing one over the other.
It’s about creating space for both to exist,
and actually work together.

You're Not Broken—Just Disconnected
We fall out of alignment—not because we are broken—
but because we become disconnected.
Disconnected from:
Our inner knowing 
Our wisdom
Our higher self
Our spirit
What actually matters

So we chase solutions, we bypass, we escape—
hoping something “out there” will fix what feels empty “in here.”
But real clarity doesn’t come from escaping your humanity.
It comes from embracing it—fully
.


Deepening Your Capacity

When you condition your human self to lean into discomfort—
to feel it, embrace it, witness it
you expand your capacity to hold a rich, full experience.
It’s like digging a well: The deeper you dig, the more water it can hold.
But embracing your human side alone isn’t the whole story.
There’s a deeper, quieter truth:
You are a divine, eternal being.
You chose this human experience to learn, explore, and evolve—
within the limitations of a body, a brain, a nervous system
and a world that often doesn’t make sense.

You Are Both Always both.
Human and Spirit.
Learning to live from that awareness—
that connection—
That’s Integration.

So What Am I Suggesting? Integration.
Always Integration. Let your human speak.
Let your spirit respond.
Let them guide each other.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to stay connected.
Your greatest power comes from weaving them together—
and letting them consistently communicate.

Ready to Begin Practicing?
When I first started exploring integration, it felt overwhelming.
So I created a course to help others explore it in small, gentle steps.

Reminder:
You don’t have to do life perfectly. (That’s impossible anyway.)
Just be willing to do it—consciously, deliberately and with connection.
