As a Chicago-born psychologist and digital media creator, I turned my quiet nights scrolling through fishing apps into a ritual of emotional survival. This isn't about luck—it’s about rhythm, restraint, and the quiet courage it takes to choose when to bet. My journey from novice to master wasn’t won in big wins, but in small, sacred moments with the waves.

I used to think fishing was about luck—until I learned it was a quiet act of courage. Growing up between cultures, I found peace in the rhythm of waves, not wins. This is my story: how small bets, mindful pauses, and midnight sessions on Auckland’s shore taught me that true harvest comes from choice, not chance.
