Let me take you back to 2011. I was living in New York City, working a soul-sucking retail job at an early childhood center in Tribeca. By day, I managed the chaos with a big smile plastered across my face, charming wealthy clients who often asked, “How do you do it? How do you keep up this energy?” I’d jokingly reply, “Lots of coffee in the morning and lots of alcohol at night.” Except... it wasn’t a joke.
I had given up on my dreams of a musical theater career and was stuck in a routine that left me feeling dead inside. I deserved a Tony for my daily performance at work, masking my misery with enthusiasm I didn’t truly feel. My mornings were fueled by caffeine, my evenings drowned in cocktails, and my spending habits reflected my inner chaos—overspending on things I didn’t need to numb the void I couldn’t face.
In its infinite wisdom, the universe had been nudging me toward change. Subtle signs kept appearing, but I ignored them. I was too busy surviving—or at least pretending to be. Finally, the universe decided to stop playing nice and started hitting me hard.
The Day Shit Hit the Fan
For three consecutive Saturday mornings, I arrived at the historic Tribeca storefront feeling hungover and exhausted. Then, I found that someone had decided to relieve themselves all over the front door—and I mean everywhere—it was a biohazard.
On the third week, I ran late, entirely out of cleaning supplies (thanks to the previous two weekends), and felt utterly hopeless. Just as I stood there sighing in defeat, an email pinged on my phone. It was an opportunity of a lifetime.
At that moment, I knew it wasn’t a coincidence. The circumstances—the shitstorm, quite literally—were too perfect. The universe had created the conditions I needed to wake up and act. The email changed everything for me.
I wish I could tell you that I was perfectly qualified for this opportunity, but I wasn’t. It was a job as a professional yo-yo performer. Yes, yo-yos. The problem? I didn’t even know how to yo-yo. But if the universe thought it was time for me to pivot, it was time to start practicing. And practice I did (but that’s a story for another day).
What mattered was that I noticed the opportunity. I recognized that the universe and the angels had placed it in my path, and it was up to me to say yes. From that day forward, I realized something profound: I didn’t have to wait for everything to fall apart to start making better choices. The tower card moment wasn’t a requirement. I could actively practice habits aligned with my highest good every day—and so can you.
