Something Is Breaking Open ⚡
A Collaboration Series by Miriam Raquel Sands & Amy Pons
Something is breaking.
You can feel it — in the news, in your nervous system, in the conversations that trail off because no one has the right words yet. The structures we were handed, the roles we were asked to perform, the stories we were told about how to survive and what survival even means — all of it is cracking. That’s why we’re here.
We are two women, two solopreneurs, two spiritual activists who refused to let fear be the only voice in the room.
Because right now, fear is loud. Scarcity is loud. Polarization, extremism, the weight of the unknown — all of it is loud. What’s happening in the world is real. The disorientation is real. The grief is real. The magic reveals itself when, instead of letting this happen to you, you realize that it’s happening for you, exactly as it’s meant to.
But underneath all of that noise, there is something quieter and older and truer: we are creators. We are spiritual beings living a human experience — not the other way around. And this moment, as destabilizing as it is, is also an invitation to stop performing survival and start choosing something else entirely. This isn’t something new…it’s ancient, and it’s been in our bones the entire time - that’s what you’re feeling, why it seems familiar.
That is the conversation we want to have with you.
We’re calling it the Triple C: Center. Clear. Create.
Center — because the antidote to chaos is not more control. It’s knowing who you are, who you’ve always been, who you’re becoming. It’s coming home to yourself when everything outside is shifting. This new existence is asking you to move from the inside out.
Clear — because so many of us are carrying old paradigms, inherited beliefs, and outdated frameworks that were never truly ours to begin with. The world unraveling on the outside is an invitation to do that same brave work on the inside. YES! It’s happening for us, not to us.
Create — because once we are centered and cleared, what’s left is the most natural thing in the world: our creative energy, our vision, our sovereign capacity to build something that is genuinely, unapologetically ours. It’s simply (and not so simply) asking you to allow yourself to remember.
We have always been creators.
We have always held more power than the systems around us wanted us to know, which is why it had to be “weird” or “wrong” for thousands of years. Now, with so many of those systems breaking open (because it’s time for the matriarchy to create the balance we’ve never seen), we get to choose — how much we consume, how much we curate, how much we give to things that were never designed to value us in return. Now, we get to exercise that choice fully with beautiful free will as a human, paired with our unique soul blueprint to remind us why we chose to come here at this exact space and time
A note, before we go further: we are not here to pretend that the three-dimensional world doesn’t make real demands of us. We need food, shelter, rest, community — and those are real needs. We are here to challenge the story that says those needs can only be met in one way, through one kind of work, inside one kind of system. The truth is, there are infinite possibilities, and you get to choose how to create your reality. You’re actually creating your reality every second - so, what are you creating?
This collaboration was born from the belief that the spiritual and the practical are not opposites. That purpose and prosperity can coexist. That the inner work and the income work are part of the same transformation. We are here to hold both together with you.
From Miriam Raquel:
My name is Miriam Raquel Sands, and I am an income and work strategist. I help purpose-driven creatives, professionals, and solopreneurs, particularly those in transition, those exiting extractive systems, those ready to stop surviving and start designing, create multiple streams of income, redefine what work means, and build a life where their craft, their purpose, and their three-dimensional needs are no longer in conflict. I’m a first-generation Salvadoran American, a solopreneur, a lifelong student of what it means to make meaning in a world that would rather have you just make money. I believe the work of financial sovereignty and the work of spiritual sovereignty are the same. And I believe this moment is calling us — loudly — to do both.

We don’t know exactly what shape this series will take. This is a living collaboration, and we’re building it the same way we build everything: with intention, with trust, and with a willingness to let it become what it needs to be.
What we do know is that you are not alone. You are not behind. You are not broken because the world feels broken. You are, in fact, right on time.
We’re glad you’re here.
