Narrative Alchemy

Feeling Lost?

Good. Now your real adventure begins.

May 25, 2025
The unknown isn’t the end of the road—it’s the invitation.

Welcome to Narrative Alchemy, the newsletter for Cozy Little Universe.

I’ll be using this space to share tools and tales on:

  • Navigating inflection points

  • Orienting yourself in the unknown

  • Reframing disruption as invitation


What is Cozy Little Universe?

Cozy Little Universe (CLU) is a platform blending story-led tools, reflective tech, and community to help people navigate life’s turning points, using intentional travel as both method and mirror.

(And no, you don’t have to quit your job, shave your head, or fly to Bali … unless you want to. CLU meets you on the verge and takes you somewhere deeper.)


Why Build This?

For years, I lived in liminal spaces—between countries, careers, and identities—until I learned something profound:

The unknown isn’t a void; it’s the fastest way to locate your inner compass.

CLU was born to help others navigate moments of disorientation with story, reflection, and a dash of sacred mischief. Everything here is designed to remind you that your “lost” moments are often where your real story begins.


First Up: A Book & Bucket List for Your Next Great Adventure

Launching this fall!

Atlas for Lost Souls: 40 Life-Changing Journeys Across Space, Time, and the Self is a collection of travel stories about the threshold moments that remake us—told through a bucket list of awakenings, reckonings, and waypoints scattered across space and time.

If you’ve ever stood at the edge of an old story and wondered what’s next, you might find something in here that resonates.

Subscribe to get early access to the book, exclusive bonus content, and updates on new releases.

Maybe it’s your time to unfold.
