I quit high school as a teenager to self-educate through full-time “explorimentation”:

Questioning common knowledge and learning through a process of poking life in weird places, then seeing how it responds.

In 2015, I started writing “Pep Talks” on this website, sharing some of my experiences.

These eventually gathered tips and thank-you notes of up to $1000 from readers whose lives were impacted by my writings.

With time, I realized the essence of my work has always been about connection, authenticity, wholeness and alignment.

This led me to immerse myself in many years of trainings,  mentorships and collaborations with others who serve those same principles.

Learning tools like Authentic Relating, Circling, Bioenergetics and more. Which I now play with, combine and build upon as a guide, mentor and facilitator.

This can be:

• Self-connection
• Connection with others
• Connection with your work
• Connection with reality & life itself
• Connectedness within society as a whole

(Ultimately, they’re all, ehm…connected.)

Here’s how you can get some:

1) I host in-person and online workshops that focus on Authentic Relating and similar modalities.

2) Every 3 months, I start a 12-week immersive online cohort designed to re-wire the way we connect.

This happens on Zoom with an intimate group of people from all over the world, who progress through the journey together.

(Once a cohort starts, nobody can join until the next one. You can claim your spot for the upcoming cohort here.)

3) If you are hosting / organizing a retreat, co-living, conference, teambuilding or festival and want to add an element of connection or conflict resolution, you can contact me here.

Oh right, all of this start with writing.

You can find my books, blog posts and newsletter below.

I also write on X daily, which you can follow here.

It would be an absolute honor if some of my work could serve you in any way,

Pep

(P.S. As of 2025, I’m not offering any 1:1 mentorship anymore except for cohort members.)

One of this world’s many ironies is that most self-development books take you away from yourself.

And while we’re applying their advice to our lives, we’re not always aware of this.

But the underlying message is:

“You must work hard so you can be better. And then you will finally thrive.”

What if the opposite was true?

What if it’s exactly all the effort you put into this pursuit that stops you from being where you long to be?

And what if the many ways you “sabotage” yourself (resistance, emotions, excuses…) are actually forms of wisdom we don’t fully understand yet?

This book is a Pep Talk on that paradox.

A collection of conversations to devour nose-to-tail, snack on daily, or digest as slowly as you desire.

There are no rules for life, how-to’s or habits in here.

But you can find everything you’re looking for, if you’re willing to see.

 This website was born in 2015 as a place to share insights, stories & lessons gathered from my exploriments.

(I still continue to share these with email subscribers.)
