Confession of a Former Nun

I walked into the convent thinking I was walking into a life that would sand down everything noisy in me until only God was left.

I was twenty when the idea stopped being a pious daydream and started feeling like gravity. I didn’t have some dramatic “light-through-the-clouds” moment. It was quieter than that—an increasing certainty that my life wasn’t meant to be arranged around romance, plans, or the normal landmarks other people measured adulthood by. I’d barely dated. I was insecure in that specific way young women can be insecure—like you’re always one wrong facial expression away from being judged and discarded. Religious life felt like an answer to that fear. Not an escape hatch from the world, exactly, but a doorway into a different kind of world where the rules were clear: pray, serve, obey, belong.

Lessons From a Nanny For the One Percent

I have been a nanny for the ultra rich for almost a decade now. Ultra rich is relative, because even within wealth there are levels and then there are levels. My families are not the nine hundred million Silicon Valley titans with nannies making two hundred fifty thousand dollars a year. I am the nanny for the middle class rich, the families with twenty to forty million dollars who outsource large parts of their lives but still remember what it was like to grow up normal.

The Black Swan Estate: Where the 1% Will Wait Out the World

My path to becoming a builder of billionaire sanctuaries was not a straight line drawn through civil engineering or architecture, but rather a pivot from the world of law and high-stakes logistics. For over a decade, I advised governments and medical technology companies on disaster preparedness and supply chain structuring, spending years analyzing the fragility of “just-in-time” global delivery systems. When the pandemic hit in 2020, the leap from securing corporate supply chains to securing the lives of the ultra-wealthy was shorter than one might expect.

Steroids Made Me Feel Unstoppable… Until They Didn’t

I didn’t touch steroids until I had been lifting seriously for years. I wasn’t some 19-year-old chasing biceps and bench numbers. I was in my mid-20s, plateaued, frustrated, and insecure that the guys around me kept passing me by. The dudes I had been stronger than in the beginning were suddenly outlifting me, outgrowing me, and outshining me.

8 People Reveal The Benefits They See From Practicing Meditation

1. The absolute best benefit is that I notice, within myself, when negative thoughts or emotions are arising.

I can see them before they get out of control, observe them and their causes, and adjust. I can think critically and evaluate my options before acting hastily.

Likewise, when somebody says something that upsets me, I don’t just react. I stop to observe it’s effects on me, think about why it affects me like that, and then consider the intention of the speaker. This helps me avoid unnecessary conflict due to misunderstanding.

Solitary Confinement and the Descent into Madness

Whatever you think hell is, you’re wrong. You think fire and brimstone, but hell is actually white paint, stainless steel, and a cold that settles into your marrow and never leaves.

I became the nucleus of a concrete cube. It didn’t matter if I was 15 or 40, innocent or guilty; once the door slammed, I was just meat in a box. The room was 60 square feet of psychological warfare. Sometimes the walls were stark white, illuminated by a white light that hummed 24 hours a day, erasing the memory of night. Other times, it was a dungeon of filth—shit stains on the floor, nut stains on the mattress, and a smell that hit you like a physical blow: a cocktail of old urine, vomit, and fear.

14 Linemen Reveal How Much They Make Each Year

1. In CA, it’s not that hard to make 300k.

Depending on how you manage your OT, it can be a ton of effort or minimal effort.

For me, it’s easy as pie to make 260-300k. I’m not beating my body up. I choose when I work so that helps tremendously.

If you stay on top of your OT, you can pick and choose when to work. We use an evergreen to determine who gets first dibs at overtime.

Also, all OT is double time. It just makes it that much easier.

At SCE, you will make 200k without even trying. I was hitting 250-265 and hardly worked weekends. Just picking up hours during the week here and there.

My gig is even better now that I’m transmission, 300k with minimal wear and tear.

Confessions From Former Gifted Kids

1. I was labeled gifted and talented in school way back. Most adults would tell me that I am very gifted and intelligent. I was given fine opportunities in art, music and business. I thought that I could do anything very quickly and efficiently. I also have ADHD and ASD.

I got into a pretty good university at 20 years old. During the second year I started falling behind. I was quite heavily bullied in school so I started to get socially anxious. I ultimately dropped out after 4 years. I started smoking weed to my anxiety and depression not understanding that it made everything worse.
