Welcome to the
Distillness Blog
A practice of unlearning and becoming.
I used to think if I could figure out how the system worked, then I could figure out how to work the system. I thought of life in this way.
I did that for years, studying people and systems until I maximized my way into a people-pleasing chameleon shell of a human with a highly functional alcohol addiction.
Eventually my system had enough of the performance and propelled me into a completely different direction. More like a U-turn really. I realized there was no one coming to save me but myself. So I put down the glass and stepped up to the challenge.
Distillness is my story of unlearning: uninstalling toxic programming, awakening to what I’d forgotten, aligning with truth, and learning to act from love, not fear.
If that resonates with your journey, I welcome you here.
