Jordan Nahmias didn’t grow up dreaming of being an entertainment lawyer. He wanted to be an artist. But a professor suggested he write the LSAT, he did well, and suddenly he was on a track.Once you’re on the track, it’s easy to mistake momentum for destiny.“It is a well-worn groove,” he told me. “Once you’ve made the choice… the blinders are on.” He continued, “Law is the thing that smart people do when they don’t know what to do.” OOFFor Jordan, there wasn’t one clean “I’m done” moment. It was more

On motherhood, meditation, science, psychedelics and spirituality. My brain used to be a steel trap. I negotiated multi-million dollar deals and tracked complex legal roadmaps in my head.These days, I can’t remember if I’ve put coffee in the coffee maker.At first I thought I was just “losing it.”But the more I learn about matrescence, psychedelics and the default mode network, the more I wonder if I’m not losing my mind so much as losing the illusion that it was ever mine.

Work Is a Prism (Not a Cage)

What if your job were less a grind and more a mirror, one that reflects your strengths, triggers, and patterns so you can grow on purpose?

The Parable of the Pillow People

2025/12/09

Guys, it finally happened.The sleep, I mean. Knock on wood, but I’m sleeping again.I was getting to the point where my brain resembled the crumbling ruins of some once-majestic estate, like whatever moldy manor was in Great Expectations or Wuthering Heights. I don’t actually remember much about either book, just the feeling-tone of gray skies and decaying Victorian grandeur.Chunks of my sanity, logic, and clarity of thought were shedding daily. (My hair too, but that’s a separate postpartum battle.)

Dance Out Your Demons

Now that we’re in the throes of the holiday season, I’ve been thinking about what it actually means to be festive.This contemplation started for me a few months ago when I was listening to The Emerald (a must-listen podcast on myth & meaning, btw). Josh Schrei was talking about festivals, wildness, and how earlier cultures created intentional spaces for rupture. It sent me down a little rabbit hole on what “festive” really means.The word festive comes from festival, which in turn traces back to the

Paul Millerd and his book the Pathless Path found me in a moment where I was deeply lost, professionally and personally. Through his writing, I went from believing that work had to be tedious misery on an established path to prestige (hence being a grindy lawyer) to viewing it as a series of experiments that could look whatever way I wanted. It was deeply liberating. Because of his writing, I was reassured that I wasn’t totally losing my mind, or if I was, I was in good company, and I finally got

Revenge of the Pillow People

I’m able to provide my children with food, shelter, and clothing. So I consider myself lucky that the first hunger I noticed in my five-year-old son was material, not physical.He came home the other day asking if I’d buy him a Labubu. Naturally, I had no idea what that was. (If you’re living under a rock like me, it’s an extraordinarily overpriced keychain/stuffed animal/gremlin hybrid.) He told me that all the kids had one. His friend even offered to ask his babysitter to drive them 40 minutes to

Scott became a consciousness explorer, first through a doorway of altered states, then through daily unglamorous dedication to inner work.In this conversation, we walk the arc from achievement to unraveling to integration. We talk about the “outside-in” happiness trap and

By fourteen, he was semi-horrified he wasn’t already Mozart.He eventually pointed that restless ambition toward the law: University of Chicago Law School. Elite clerkships.
