Becoming is slower than I expected.

Less clean than I thought it would be.

But something is changing.

Not loud.
Not some big arrival moment.

Just a quiet, steady shift.

Less reactivity.
More space.
More choice.

The shadow still shows up (regularly).
The body still feels it (often).

But I don’t move the same inside of it anymore.

I can feel I’m not who I was.

And I’m not fully who I’m becoming yet either.

I’m in that in-between space.

Emerging.

Ebbing + flowing.

Becoming again. and again. and again.

And for the first time…

I’m not rushing it.

Damn it, this is hard work.

I’ve been putting my Dirt Codes into music lately…and it’s landing.

Producing, shaping, curating…(yes, Ai is part of it)… but it’s my heart, my design, my expression.

This one is Ebb & Flow
Dirt Code 05 of 44.

A reminder to move with “it” when life feels chaotic… or completely stuck.

Change is happening either way.

This is about learning to ride it…

not fight it.

Whatever it is we are processing.

Here are the lyrics:

It ebbs and it flows
It comes and it goes
It washes ashore
then it pulls me back home

I’ve felt this before
in another familiar time
The tide remembers
what I keep trying to outrun

Nothing stays
Nothing’s gone
It just moves
and moves on

Life’s been a wild ride
yeah, I know
But looking back now
I can see the code

When I pushed too hard
I broke the flow
When I softened up
it carried me home

Nature doesn’t hurry
nature doesn’t stall
It rises and falls
to refine us all

Nothing stays
Nothing’s gone
It just moves
and moves on

I don’t fight the wave
I learn the ride
I don’t force the timing
I trust the tide

In rhythm
I mend
Out of rhythm
I BEND

I come back
again

Ebb and flow
ebb and flow

Nothing lost
nothing owed

Ebb and flow
ebb and flow

I come back
I come home

They try to tune you
with pills and noise
But they don’t teach breath
to girls and boys

They don’t teach seasons
or reasons why
The dark comes first
before the light

Like glass in the ocean
stone in the stream
The rhythm shapes
what I’m meant to be

I don’t fight the wave
I stay alive
I don’t force the moment
I trust the tide

In rhythm
I heal
Out of rhythm
I feel

Then I return
again

I honor the rise.
I honor the fall.
I move with the rhythm.

That’s the oath.
That’s the law.
Read the code.
Nature’s law.

Deceit happens.

Timing doesn’t always go your way.

Things fall apart.

And still… there are moments that remind you what actually matters.

For me, it’s simple.

Shooting in the backyard with my husband.

No pressure.

No performance.

Just presence.

That kind of joy doesn’t come from competition or recognition.

It comes from alignment.

When you know what matters, everything else gets quieter.

Dirt Code of Awareness
You’ve been conditioned to chase the external signal. To measure your life against outcomes, approval, and timing. When those collapse, it feels like something is wrong. It isn’t. You were just looking in the wrong place.

Diamond Antidote
Return to what is steady and true without needing it to be seen. Presence over performance. Connection over comparison. When you anchor there, nothing outside of you gets to decide your state.

This is the work.

Not escaping the chaos.
Seeing through it, and still choosing where you stand.

I’ve made millions of dollars in my lifetime.

None of it came from social media.

Not one lead.

Which is interesting, because I’ve spent decades building real businesses in America. Cars. Credit. Houses. Firearm education. The backbone of the American economy. You name it, I’ve done it.

At the same time, like everyone else, I participated in social media. Posting ideas, sharing experiences, talking about leadership and integrity. And yes, occasionally pointing out the lies, the cons, and the games people play in systems that pretend to be honest.

Likes would come.

Leads never did.

Nor did I ever ask.

Part of that is probably because I’ve been in sales since I was fifteen. That’s thirty-five years of watching how and why people buy.

When you’ve spent that long inside the mechanics of persuasion, you start to see the levers.

The emotional hooks.
The scarcity tactics.
The carefully constructed stories.

Sometimes you watch someone online selling a narrative that you know isn’t real. A persona that works very well in the algorithm but has very little to do with who they actually are.

That may be the most disheartening part of the internet.

Watching a performance get rewarded while the public assumes it’s truth.

Because who someone presents online is often very different from who they are behind the scenes.

Once you see that clearly, it becomes very hard to participate in the same game.

Not because you can’t play it.

But because you’re not willing to.

So instead of trying to compete inside that system, I removed myself from it.

What’s interesting is that the people who have paid me the most over the years almost always met me the same way.

A retreat.
A training environment.
A workshop.
A conversation where someone hears how I think and suddenly says, “Can I hire you?”

No algorithm involved.

Just proximity.

That’s when something became obvious.

Social media operates inside the attention economy. Visibility. Constant output.

But real trust still operates inside a different system entirely.

Reputation.
Presence.
Witnessed competence.
Results that match your words.

The distortion of social media is the belief that if you are not converting online, you are invisible.

But many forms of influence have never lived in feeds.

They live in rooms.

And the more I pay attention to that difference, the clearer something becomes.

My work was never meant for the algorithm.

It was meant for the room.

To the one who stole my ideas
your inability to be original is loud.

To the one who stole my money
greed is a short game.

To the one who sued me while I was down
funny how quiet you are now.

To the one who never applauded my success
you sound a lot like me these days.

To the one who never thanked me for the work I carried
your silence says everything.

To the one who used legal abuse as power and control
many people see the pattern now.

To the one who overcharged me because I was naive
thank you. You sharpened me.

To the one who hides because cowardice feels safer than truth
welcome to The Dirt Codes.

Join me inside, this is going to get real fun!

Didn’t have “CEO of a precision rifle company”
on my bingo card… yet here we are. 🤠

First firearms rodeo, not my first leadership role.

I’ve spent the last five years behind the scenes
helping build Modern Day Sniper.

Strategy, systems, people, pressure.

Now I’m stepping forward to lead.

Clearer than ever.
More driven than ever.
And finally doing it out loud.
