Eyes on icon #3: Big Dreams in this feature of Center Stage.
Birthing Process
I have "weirdo" tattooed on my arm. When I was 21, I guess I felt the need to brand myself with a word that resembled how alien I felt as a deeply sensitive and quiet-craving person in such an
overstimulating, loud fast world and very little emotional regulation. (I got the tattoo on a trip, matching with a friend I'm no longer friends with lol. That's how matching tats go, right?)
But I've felt like a weirdo for much longer than the last 7ish years of my life, since permanently claiming the title proudly on my bicep.
I am a big dreamer and always have been. Like, I can see things that other people can't, not necessarily ghosts or spirits—haven't had that happen yet (although they definitely mess with my physical realm)—but my mind gives me little pictures of potential opportunities that many other people don't recognize. And I can see them very clearly in my mind.
I see a lot of things beyond what's visible in the physical dimension around us. I mostly see creative ideas and big picture goals for the future, almost like you see memories in your mind.
Crazy as it sounds, I often see people's feelings. (Should we talk about clairvoyance and the other clairs sometime??? Message me if you're also a practiced seer/intuitive/psychic—I'd love to connect!)
Anyways, through meditation, I've concentrated my energy/focus and shifted my beliefs of what's possible, enough to take action on these little visual pictures that download into my consciousness—and this practice of concentration/shifting beliefs is an ongoing integration process, with the intensity of the daily practice varying in waves. All these little "mind downloads" are how I've created this world of PM Projects.
Getting these downloads of ideas is like tuning into a radio station. All the wavelengths for stations are broadcasted out there already into the field, your receiver just has to be dialed to the matching frequency of the channel you want to hear.
The analogy is: the ideas, money, love and all the other good things, are already floating out in existence (invisibly broadcasted with the energy of potential, but totally available), like radio channel frequencies. If we're playing the game of manifestation and following our vision, it's up to us to attune our mind/body/soul to the matching frequency of what we want to bring into our lives. This means fully, utterly, completely delusionally shifting our beliefs to confidently feeling that our dreams are available, accessible and inevitable.
Beyond simply believing in ourselves, we have to take action, over and over again, (usually for years, if not decades). We have to take devoted action backed with our new supportive, consciously integrated beliefs. This integration of new patterns is no joke, it's rough out here, but so worth it.
That's the process of creative channeling, that's my creative birthing process. Truth be told, I don't really create any of this art, not alone at least. The ideas are given to me, like the universe AirDropped me my next steps for a project. (That's really what it feels like, I don't know where this creative shit comes from, it's well beyond what my mortal self is capable of.) And then it's up to the mortal self to accept the message, allow the necessary actions from myself & connections with others to flow through me in my daily experience that will all add up to the vision materializing.
Somehow it all gets aligned when you're clear and confident on what you desire and what you feel worthy of receiving in life. (Warning: it maybe in different timing than you wanted, sometimes occurs differently than you expect, but it's BETTER than you could've ever dreamed. Loosen up, life is short, queen.)
If you don't get this (respectfully), it's because you need more love and open mindedness in your heart & mind...... (Stick around here long enough and you'll get it soon.)
So why is no one else talking about this???? Oh, probably because they don't want people to think they're bat shit crazy. But me? Well I am bat shit crazy (sometimes), so I don't care. I'll talk about these weird taboo psychic things that would get me burned alive for being a witch back in the day. (....I am in fact a witch, and no that doesn't mean I'm demonic, all you judgmental readers....)
So yeah, I've felt like a weirdo for most of my life because I live so many of my days viewing these downloads from my dream realm, not quite grounded in this reality, and that's not how most people live.
~ Gasp for air ~
OK—all that being said, I named this piece Big Dreams, mostly because of the size (boring—wait, there's more though), but truly, like I mentioned above, because I've always been a big dreamer. And since following through on creating The Hollyweed Collection, which currently houses Big Dreams until a collector finds her, I've been seeing more proof that dreams come true when you stick with a vision for the long haul. Momentum really does add up when you stay devoted to your craft.
The Hollyweed Collection was an idea I had around 2022ish (I've been painting weed since 2019), and now finally in 2026, it's gaining the traction I've dreamed of for years and the growth is only compounding. It's amazing. The Big Dreams are coming to fruition. Paintings are selling, collaborations are happening, I was on my first podcast last week, I've had a couple viral videos, so yeah, it's all adding up this year. Ironically, this feels like only the beginning.
I wasn't lying when I told you I could see the big picture. I can only hope potential collectors sit with this painting and daydream about their Big Dreams too.
Here's the Problem, though.
We discount, disregard and devalue the dreamers too often within our collective existence. And that's why our world is fucking falling apart. We need greater emphasis on the spiritual connection in our lives, the slowness, the dreams and the intuition. We're too focused on the physical. We need both the physical and the spiritual. Dreamers and artists will help us reconcile this balance to bring more healing into our world because of their deep connection with the unseen realms and the frequency resonance with presence, pleasure and play. Let the artists lead MORE!!!!!!!
Artists, and even dreamers of all other occupations, are essential workers and are on the frontlines of our progress & evolution as a species.
We don't see this as important because this type of work is geared toward long-term gratification. In today's world of fast food, same-day delivery and social media, a good majority of us only value and appreciate instant gratification of our wants & needs. We rarely, as a society, value and accept rest or play without feeling guilty. But still, we wonder why we're so stressed, sick and spiritually devoid.
When we don't make time to connect with our dreams and desires, when we're too stuck in the physical realm, stuck in our limited beliefs and live with a fried nervous system, it makes for quite an incompatible frequency that distorts us from accessing our dreams. (Doubts and fears are the static on the radio.)
Here's ONE path to healing (but not the only way by any means!)...
If you happen to be someone that feels like shit physically, mentally or spiritually, it could be a vital healing path to attune yourself to the frequency of curiosity, creativity and confidence. Play more. Follow the intriguing clues. Fail. Learn. Try again. Have fun. Repeat. A process like this will free us from the seriousness of existence and recondition us to naturally follow our Big Dreams.
Our priorities start to rearrange from centering productivity to centering presence, and the quality of our life can be DRASTICALLY increased here.
I'm talking wild miraculous manifestations out the ASS (lmfao forreal).
For centuries we've based an individual's significance almost exclusively on productivity, social status and income, even when it's unfortunately at the expense of others' wellbeing (that's late-stage capitalism now for ya). I'm challenging that with loudly valuing, encouraging and embodying self-expression, big dreams and devoted action. So, uh, you with me or what homie????
I want other people, especially womxn to know that we're put on this earth to be full of pleasure, play, love, curiosity, creativity (And yes, destruction, too. PAYTON SMASH!!! It's fun ok).
The integration of a frequency shift into this fun, expansive type of reality happens when we take daily actions backed with the beliefs of our future selves having already accomplished what we dream of.
Here's an example about my financial goals, but let me preface it by saying: I don't believe money is the root of all evil. I believe greed, the illusion of scarcity and the distortion of fear are the roots of evil. Acting from that frequency is what makes money "bad," but money is neutral on its own, an amplifier of what we already are.
One of my Big Dreams is a really free financial reality. So, I've been on a path to unlocking it by:
coming back to the daily belief that what I desire is available (especially when it feels not possible)
visualizing my most ideal reality according to desires & dreams, then building for that—not necessarily building for what's practical, logical or "realistic."
early on, and continuously, posting my work like collectors were eager to buy before there was ever any physical proof
sticking with those actions long enough (literally years) to build that as factual reality—and now it's actually unfolding around me. That's showing up as your future self. That's how you integrate the spiritual/metaphysical aspects of life into real tangible actions.
That's why I created Big Dreams...to remind you to go for yours.

I love being able to offer free design + styling services, but I actually won’t do it for everyone.
To save both of us time and make sure we’re on the same page, I require a booking form where you share background info about the potential art pieces you want styled, your goals for your space and what’s keeping you from that, if anything.
If you’re frustrated with not feeling at home in your space, in what should be your little slice of heaven here on earth, and you’re ready for the interior elevation now, then we move forward to talk more in depth together for your design direction + styling insights.
Otherwise, if it’s a style issue that can wait, we actually won’t work together on a call or with a C-DAK until you’re ready.
