Why I Write Here

I’m just a regular guy with an overactive curiosity gene, a knack for deep thinking, and a habit of diving headfirst into books, ideas, and conversations that explore what it means to be human. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why we’re here, how healing really works, or whether it’s possible to mix science, spirituality, psychology, and a dash of humor into one meaningful conversation—well, we’re already on the same wavelength.

I’ve always been drawn to the things beneath the surface. As a kid, I’d get lost in stories that took me to other worlds. As an adult, I found myself exploring just as much—but this time, through philosophy, psychology, the sciences, and the beautiful messiness of real life.

If this resonates, join the list and I’ll send new reflections as I write them. Currently, I am posting one every weekend.

My Path

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Family Life Education, became a Certified Life Coach, and went on to complete a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. For years, I kept my full-time job at a manufacturing facility while counseling in the evenings and on weekends (Yes, coffee was involved!). In January of 2022, I finally made the leap and became a full-time counselor. Now by day I co-own Illume Wellness Group in Michigan, where I help people heal and grow.

Additionally, I have trainings in IFS (Level 1), EMDR, and Gottman Couples Therapy (Level 1).

What You’ll Find on Mysterious Flow

This blog isn’t just about degrees or career shifts; it’s about something much deeper. Over the years, I’ve also fallen in love with the mystical side of things: ancient wisdom, spiritual traditions, esoteric teachings, and the fascinating overlap between what science can explain and what it can’t. I don’t see the mystical and the logical as opposites; they’re dance partners.

I’ve taken some wild journeys, both literal (jungles, mountaintops, and meditation retreats) and internal. Each one has shaped how I see the world and my place in it.

Mysterious Flow is where I share the stories, insights, and questions that have emerged from walking this path. It’s also where I hope to connect with fellow seekers, people who are curious, introspective, and just a little bit enchanted by the mystery of it all.

So if you’re someone who’s learning to live with more presence, wonder, and maybe even a bit of playful bewilderment, come on in. Let’s explore together.
