Attracting Real Angels to Invest in Your Vision
Celebrating The First Investor in IO
I’ve been cultivating and building a vision since 2018 —
IO — an amusement park and sanctuary for the soul — a portal for plot twists —
a lab for the genius mind — a temple of the sacred and divine mysteries —
a playground of consciousness — a canvas for your identity —
a space for miracles.
In 2022 I acquired a 10 acre property in the Atlantic rainforest in Bahia, Brasil.
In 2023 I built the first home, where our darling caretaker lives and does incredible work in making this property more beautiful by the day.
In 2025-26, I built my home where I also host private immersions for guests from all over the world.
And the first person I received here is Ruta Stasiunaite.
We had already lived together for 15 months in 2023-24, had an incredible experience full of fun and growth and love and joy and support and seeing each other for the power we hold and the potential we are becoming.
As I was completing construction of the new home in March, she came to “visit” and experience this magical place.
Within weeks, not only did she realize this is a home for her too, the thing I’m most excited to celebrate is…
She became the first investor in IO!! 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊
Now, not only are we a soul family, best friends, each others greatest cheerleaders.
We are also business partners!
I’m so incredibly proud, of her and myself, for having come far as we have come, in our own work, and together as a team.
But it wasn’t obvious at first.
It took me (and us) a while to fully recognize her contributions as more than just contributions.
Because of how close we have been, initially the story was that she was supporting me and contributing towards making this her home.
It took me a while to realize that it was so much more powerful than that!
Few weeks ago I stepped back as she made more and bigger “contributions”.
All of a sudden I realized she had subtly and gradually become a proper investor.
It took a while because it was completely new for both of us to do something like this.
And the proximity obscured the objectivity of how profound and powerful these actions were.
As I stepped back, I realized — if for a moment I stopped seeing her as my dearest friend — this sovereign adult is actually trusting me and is inspired by my vision to such a degree that she is investing her time, energy, creativity, and money to collaborate and co-create!
As she says, holy moly guacamole!
What!? What just happened?!
I had been envisioning and calling in perfect, soul-aligned investors for a while — and who better than the soul who I’ve been closest to for the past 3 years!!
How freaking incredible that it happens so effortlessly!
What level of magic is this! That I don’t even have to ask or pitch, money literally just enters into the account spontaneously!
Exactly what I had envisioned and wished and summoned was unfolding without me even fully realizing it for weeks!
And now that I do realize it so fully, I’m just so full of awe and gratitude and pride.
For her, having reached this level where she can invest beyond her life into visions that inspire her to collaborate and co-create.
For myself to become the person, the visionary, the builder, who attracts such gorgeous souls to co-create the vision I’ve been blessed with.
I can barely express what this means to me and how deeply I feel — I’m just so full. Not just in this moment, but these days and weeks and months where everything has come together.
Come together in ways and at a level I did imagine to some degree.
But didn’t fully believe. Had my doubts if it’s really possible for it to be this easy and effortless.
There were times I succumbed to the doubt and tried doing it the traditional way — social media followings, pitch decks that overpromise and sell fantasies, predatory deals that take away power and sovereignty from the founder and visionary.
Thankfully, I gave up on that soon enough for it to actually work at all.
Thankfully, I kept honoring my soul and doing my magic, quietly, behind the scenes, being seen by those who are ready and meant to see.
Because I realized the power and the worth of my vision.
I don’t need to compromise and go to “angel investors”.
My soul has the power to attract the right people, true angels, at the right time.
And those who need all the traditional ass-kissing, they are the ones missing out on something that has far greater ROI than any traditional investment could ever offer.
I never needed proof — at a soul level I knew. I trusted and retuned to that feeling after the initial doubt. The proof arrived after.
The proof arrived when I was truly embodying what I teach — soul-led living.
A life beyond control, proving, validation, and people-pleasing.
A life where you truly own your power and your genius and express it in your way.
Where love and authenticity are not just words, but the feeling radiating from you in every movement and expression.
Where life is an adventure fully of play and mystery and beauty.
Where bliss and peace are just natural everyday feelings.
While I’ve been getting closer and deeper into this state for the past 11 years, it’s only in the past few months I can truly say I’m living from it.
I’m truly honoring my soul and trusting in the unfolding of the vision rather than chasing something that I never actually wanted in the first place.
This is what it took to attract this angel to invest in this vision I was blessed with in 2018.
I didn’t have to convince, beg, or pitch her. She saw me, she saw the vision, and she felt called to invest. That’s soul-level collaboration — effortless, intuitive, and truly in resonance and alignment.
I became that to match that and make my outer world a reflection of that.
Ruta is the first investor, we are just getting started, and I know, the more I live from this place, the more people like that show up to intuitively to build, collaborate, and invest — to matter-realize this incredible vision.
I’m so excited!! 🥳🎉🎊❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
