The Wayfinder Diaries Blog
Navigating a world On fire
THROUGH A FEMINIST AND ANTI-CAPITALIST WAYFINDER LENS.
Note that I’m rebuilding my body of work at kristiamdahl.com/blog. Same topics as here, but more posts.
A note that I’m rebuilding my body of work…on my other website.
This blog is a space for feminists, witches, and anti-capitalists who want more than Band-Aid solutions to their challenges and the challenges of our times. Here, you’ll find reflections and guidance from me on navigating this unprecedented fuckery from the lens of a Wayfinder Master Coach, (recovering) student of economics, and activist with street creds. You’ll also find reflections and guidance from a women’s circle facilitator—offered through a trauma-informed lens—on how to facilitate impactful circles. Posts are designed to support you in reclaiming agency in every area of your life, living in glorious alignment with who you truly are (while lovingly flipping exploitative systems the bird), and—in the case of circling-related posts—being of deep service to your communities.

Two Principles That Will Change Your World
Ownership and integrity. These two principles have the potential to transform your life in every - and I mean every - area. I encourage you to read this post from a place of openness and curiosity—of how it could relate to your circumstances.
Choosing Integrity Gave Me a Second Shot at Life
I remember the exact moment when integrity came knocking—it was when I was in my car after leaving my psychiatrist’s office (c. 1996), and I heard a voice that came from seemingly nowhere say "You are responsible for your own happiness." Whoa.
How to Facilitate Women’s Circles
Ever since I started calling women’s circles, I've been fielding inquiries from sisters about how they can do the same. So, I decided to create a resource that shares what I do and how I do it.
Here’s what you’ll find, Noting that I’m rebuilding my body of work:

For humans who have had it with capitalism
This toolkit is rich with non-fluffy actions for changing the way you engage with the fuckery of our times—namely (but not exclusively) capitalism. Some of the suggestions date back to when I was an activist involved in direct action—when I lived and breathed an anti-capitalist lifestyle. Others are sourced from my experiences as a coach, and still others come from my own lived experience. My sincere hope is that you find something useful and actionable here.

Wayfinding for Women Who've Had Enough
I’m a feminist and anti-capitalist who once—during a moment of weakness—paid a coach five figures in exchange for her coaching me to become so ‘magnetic’ that clients would flock to me and sign up for expensive coaching engagements. Unfortunately, her approach borrowed heavily from capitalism’s playbook and left me feeling so sickened and out of integrity that I quit her container early. A painful lesson learned.
I do things differently. The women I work with already reside at a higher level of consciousness and want their coaching Wayfinding to honor that. They aren’t here to 'win' at capitalism but to flourish—in spite of it and without compromising their values. To live in alignment with who they truly are. To stand in their power and reject the gaslit ‘American Dream.’ To take up radical space where it isn’t always welcomed. To liberate righteous anger while staying rooted in fierce love. To create. To remember. To be the change.
This is what Wayfinding looks like.
