Unsnag’s Origin Story
Unsnag started in a messy, ordinary moment — a chipped tooth, spiraling guilt, and the realization that I couldn’t outthink my way through it. Here’s the story of how one night by the pool cracked something open and gave me the practice I still use today.
You can’t think your way through a feeling.
Most of us don’t actually feel our feelings—we think about them. It’s like staring at the ocean instead of getting in the water: safe, dry, and stuck. Here’s why that happens, how it makes sense, and the simple way back to feeling what’s real.
Different isn’t wrong. It’s the point.

Most of us are living head-first—thinking our way through life instead of actually feeling it. We trade goosebumps for checklists, potential for “someday.” Here’s why the whole point of being alive is to experience it—and how to start now.
You can’t turn down pain without turning down joy, too.
Most people think they can shut out pain without blocking out their joy. But feelings share one spectrum—close off one end, and the whole thing narrows. Here’s how to bring it back to full color.
What you want shows up when you’re ready for it—on the inside.
Life didn’t start with matter—it started with energy. From the first spark of evolution to the smile on your face right now, energy moves first, matter follows. Here’s how to use that truth in a way that’s simple, grounded, and actually works.
