Your Next Chapter? Start with 80 Words.
Plus, Base partners with SheFi. Crypto news + events.
In September 2021 at a Variant mixer on an NYC rooftop, I received a divine download that Jon Wu was my soulmate.
We were casually chatting about my upcoming trip to Joshua Tree—nothing flirty, nothing romantic—when suddenly, a deep, inner knowing spoke to me clearly:
“He’s the one.”

Jon and I on our first trip together, December 2021
It wasn’t butterflies or infatuation.
It was a moment of stillness in the middle of the noise.
What I didn’t realize at the time was that just 24 hours earlier, I had called that moment in.
How?
Through something I call the 80-word ritual.
At 11:30pm the night before, I read it was a powerful day to manifest. I didn’t want to let the moment pass, so I stayed up late to write 80 qualities I wanted in a partner.
Not the superficial stuff:
❌ Height
❌ Job
❌ Net worth
❌ Looks
But the real stuff:
✔️ Kind
✔️ Service-oriented
✔️ Funny
✔️ Loving
After filling the page, I ripped it out of my notebook, folded it, and tucked it into The Little Prince, a cherished book given to me by Iain McCaig, someone I deeply admire.

The 80 words are still in the book, to this day
I went to bed trusting the process, thinking that I was manifesting someone in the future.
Turns out, he was already in my life.
Later that night, after my divine download with Jon, I met my friends at a Jungle concert. I told my best friend,
“I think I just met THE guy.”
When Jon messaged me later that evening, I knew something was unfolding.
And I was right.
Now, four years later, we were expecting our first child together.
And I used the 80-word ritual again, this time before giving birth.
I focused on how I wanted to feel:
✨ Empowered
✨ Held
✨ Calm
✨ Safe
✨ Connected
And while the birth didn’t go perfectly, I moved through it anchored in those intentions. The energy I called in made all the difference.

I wanted to share this with you because, in SheFi, we’re always calling in reinvention.
Every cohort is a fresh start. A reclamation. A return to self.
A chance to become more of who you really are.
This ritual became one of my most trusted tools in life’s biggest transformations—love, motherhood, next chapters. So I wanted to pass it on to you.
How do you want to move through SheFi? Through life?
As you continue your Web3 journey, manifesting how it unfolds isn't some sort of magic.
It's clarity.
So try this:
Write 80 qualities to call in.
Tuck it into something sacred.
And let the unfolding begin.

Yesterday at @shefiorg, I shared my journey in crypto and how sometimes you just need to keep saying yes to opportunities in order to create your personal market fit. Define yourself before the market does, be creative, be proactive.
