Busy AF being a creator!


I am a creator!

Holy moly!! I have some cool AF events coming up!

From the failed tech at my speaking "audition" in Las Vegas last month, I was reborn... something went off in me... because even though there was a major SNAG (they couldn't advance my amazing slide deck), I powered through and realized I know what the F I am doing... the feedback from the pros there truly blew me away and I realized that lots of people really look up to me as well.

So... Something shifted—a switch flipped—and I realized: I am a powerhouse of knowledge, creativity, and lived experience. I’ve spent years honing my craft, creating transformational spaces, and helping others step into their fullest expression… so why haven’t I been sharing more of that magic out loud? That changes now. I’m inviting you to explore what I’ve got coming up—real, in-person events that are packed with inspiration, connection, and serious momentum. These experiences are designed to light you up, stretch your vision, and yes—rock your socks off (in the best way).

Darina Neyret 20th of August Hi Reader, ↓ There is a process that needs to happen when you move to another country. At first, everything is exciting. The streets are different. The light is different. Even the grocery store feels like an adventure. You are looking at everything with fresh eyes, thinking, I really did this. And then, somewhere between figuring out the bins and trying to understand why everything works slightly differently than you expect, the other thought arrives: What the...

Darina Neyret July 22nd Hi there Reader, ↓ Adapting to new places has always been exciting to me. I seem to naturally look for what's good. The silver linings. The little things that make a place feel like home. I hope you're doing well wherever you are, where home is, and that you're soaking up every bit of summer goodness. Here are 3 things that amaze me so far... The strawberries here are incredible. Honestly, they taste as though they've already been sprinkled with sugar. They don't need...

Fallingwater, PA

Darina Neyret July 14th Hi there Reader, ↓ I’m writing this from Scotland, weeks after standing in front of Fallingwater. Yea. Pennsylvania. I’ve started this piece more than once. Each time the words felt too small for what I wanted to say. Some places really need you to think about how you experienced them before trying to explain them. Fallingwater was one of those places. I needed time. Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece doesn’t simply sit beside a waterfall. It hovers above it, suspended...
