When Awakening Made Me Want to Disappear

February 4, 2026February 4, 2026 ~ Ashley Deas ~ Leave a comment

After my spiritual awakening (I can’t believe I’m committing to that phrase!), I didn’t become lighter the way I thought I would. I became sharper. More aware. More observant. More conscious of every flaw, every reactive pattern, every moment where I fell short of who I thought I was supposed to be now.

My goal with this blog is to share my stories about awakening and build a community of like-minded individuals. Today, I'm happy to announce that I'm beginning to lean into the latter.

This concept comes to me in random downloads, so apologies if it doesn’t feel well thought out, but between this post and future posts, I will get to the point… Having worked in tech for a while, I have a pretty decent understanding of how technology and algorithms work. Someone once asked on social media … Continue reading The Algorithmic Life

Is Fake It Till You Make It a Scam?

March 12, 2025 ~ Ashley Deas ~ Leave a comment

I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide variety of companies over my 20-year career—ranging from local mom-and-pop shops to scrappy startups to global Fortune 100 corporations. And if there’s one truth I’ve learned, it’s this: We are all making it up as we go. They say, fake it till you make it. But … Continue reading Is Fake It Till You Make It a Scam?
