Are you living your life's TRUE passion?

Contentment needn't be so elusive…

When fully present in the moment, your inner voice becomes your guide. 

Notice how symbols, hidden messages & mysteries reveal themselves?

Do you see that irony - at once both cruel & delightful - is what surrounds us?

Irony is the (Jungian) shadow’s voice, helping us discern what is truly important.

~ WHAT is idfigures™? 

Hoping to attract the more cynical (read: interesting) client, idfigures™ diverges from the personal coaching norm. It’s not my style to overflow with optimism. I believe my clients benefit from a real-world perspective. 

I’m a “news junkie” (have been since 9/11). I know fact from fiction. I don’t like what’s happening now (March 2025) in America. At this exact moment in time I feel compelled to connect with those as alarmed as I am. 

The challenge right now is how to stay sane. I believe the “gadgets” have mentally, in some cases physically, and in most cases very much spiritually damaged those who are now addicted to this form of communication. I consider myself most fortunate to have never succumbed to social media. 

All of it has become a weapon against our wallets and our mental health. We’ve lost the desire to connect on the sometimes complicated, human level. Even in my Zoom meetings I notice others staring at whatever else has captivated their attention away from the person speaking. 

I offer a space SAFE from “the algorithm” and I expect you to honor that FIRM boundary by NOT dragging any of it to my door!

That means: NO Pavlovian LIKES, thank you very much!

A poetic introduction:

watching the country flame out in real time…

what else can I be but a witness?

what else can I do but observe (not absorb)?

privacy’s a right I never surrendered

invisibility’s now my warmest blanket

the mask never came off

not to you

you who wandered gleefully into your gadgets

and lowered your guard

my guard’s a gift from The Goddess

smarter than most anyone 

he saved the world

twice

my anxiety and my (ex) therapist dare me:

get going already!

I love how it looks on the page!

I love how it’s clever, all-encompassing and punny.

I’m onto their cunning

I see the Shadow side of all of it.

I’ve been at this awhile

not making money making magick

my perspective is wholly detached by design

nothing would coax my influence 

into a world where liking me mattered

what a blessing to have skirted the infection so far!

I hold a safe space 

for a few select souls 

willing to be fully honest,

and comforted by my secure remove 

from social media or its ilk.

yes, it’s metaphysics

it’s conversation (not therapy and not porn)

we’ll know right away if there’s CONNECTION

you may be kind and curious 

write me at cathy@idfigures.com

I seek HONEST connection

so address your degree of loneliness

(if you’re busy and afloat with friends, you don’t need this)

address your degree of willingness 

to learn more about yourself and your TRUE purpose

if you believe the tools of CRAFT

can boost your creativity & sense of joy (they can!)

I believe we’re STARDUST

our UNIVERSE guides us with signs & symbols 

each obstacle presenting a lesson to be learned

we consider the Tarot

we discuss the planetary pulls on you right NOW

the MOON is in our corner

even (especially) her SHADOW
