what if i told you that you can access paradise every day and

it doesn't have to be so hard.

You've built a life you can be proud of,

So why aren't you able to actually enjoy it?

Why does it always feel like something is missing?

you choose healthy foods and eat (mostly) clean but still feel disconnected from your body
you have a job that pays the bills but doesn't light you up, you feel stuck there
you've tried therapy, breathwork, cold plunges, journaling, but it never has lasting results
you have a good network of friends but wish you could go deeper with them
you want to achieve big goals but keep burning out and getting sidetracked
you feel like something is wrong but you have no idea what else to focus on.

You are not broken.

You have been taught to chase the wrong goal

The goal is not to be a perfectly healed person who never gets triggered, has a lengthy morning routine with meditation, journaling, cold exposure, sun exposure, high protein, low carb, a litre of water- you get the idea.

Majority of healing and transformational services sell you the idea that "you are broken" and whatever they are selling will fix you.

We are spiritual beings

in a human form.

We make mistakes,

we skip the gym,

we are still valid.

We are here to explore being human and that means:

to be imperfect
to try and fail
to find our values and identity
to find our community
to find pleasure
and to find something to do everything day that makes us feel powerful.

Because you are powerful.

I bet you might even know what the thing is that makes you feel powerful, alive, full of joy.

I bet you’ve tasted it, but it was fleeting.

And now the marketing machine has made you think that the only way to access that again is to become a perfect person, by buying whatever tea, supplement, or bio-hacking thing they are selling.

What if it could be easier?

What if you don’t have to heal every single wound to access your highest potential?

What if slowing down and finding joy and creativity was the real hack?

Yes, the thing we have been taught to see as shameful, the “guilty pleasures” as they say.

What if this was the way to a life that lights you up?

The way to more money, a thriving community, abundant love, and true fulfillment?

Well I'm here to tell you, it is.

We’ve seen hustle culture fail and become toxic.

So what is left for us?

What if we try the opposite?

That thing that we never really have time for, but we ache for?

What if we found a way to that?

That, is The Paradise Path.

Here's How the Paradise path works:

We start with 1. Ground :

because yes "healing" is important but it isn’t the final destination.

“Healing” really just means grounding your nervous system.

It means taking the rush of fear out of everyday situations.

"No, vagus nerve we don’t need to have a panic attack in the grocery store, I promise we are safe."

So we ground, we clear out the shit and we get back to baseline,

which is safety.

A lot of healing programs will leave you here, "Okay we did it, we feel safe! Now back to work."

Not on this path.

The next steps are the most important and most overlooked.

If we want to thrive in our world, find our people, find the work that lights us up and brings us all the abundance we’ve been manifesting, the next step is...

2. Feel:

This is the part of thriving we love to skip.

It is why people spiritually bypass, because they don’t want to feel the hard things.

But spoiler alert, it won’t kill you.

It just may feel that way for a moment, but stay with me.

Once we feel our feelings, and build emotional resilience, aka: "not letting the feelings take up more space then they need, instead letting them come and go"

We can actually move onto the fun stuff, and I promise the fun stuff is next, but we can’t get to fun without feeling, that is just bypassing.

If you don't feel: then you take all the crap with you into the fun and it becomes an escape.

Not the vibe.

Then we move into

3. GLOW:

This is everyone’s favourite part.

This is where we find pleasure.

And sometimes pleasure feels exhausting, to go out and do things, so in those times we just rest.

But once you’ve rested,

then we play.

We embrace our inner child’s wisdom and do things that we can get lost in:

Dancing to your favourite music

Eating delicious food with your friends

Going to cafes in a cute outfit just to read a book and feel the fantasy

Be WHIMSICAL

Dress up as fairies & have your friends over for a tea party

Explore our erotic power

Eating fruit with our tits out in the sunshine

Swimming naked in the ocean

Indulging in mouth watering desserts

These are things you may already do, or don’t.

But the point of doing it after ground, and feel, is they are no longer an escape from our pain.

Once we’ve cleared out the emotional baggage,

our neural pathways are primed for new experiences.

We must fill those pathways with PLEASURE.

The most healing, life altering, fulfilling thing we can possibly do, is play.

Okay but we don’t want to stop here. We can’t, unfortunately, just play forever.

When you do it right, it fills you up so you can go back into the world and take aligned actions.

Now we are doing it from a full cup and our work flows better.

There is one more critical step before we get to our full power, and that is:

4. Create:

Creativity is a super power we all possess.

It is what really sets us apart as humans from the other species:

Our ability to take information and inspiration and make something out of nothing.

Whether that is a solution to a complex problem

a beautiful sketch

a short film

a poem

or a delicious meal.

Creation, creativity, is how we hack our brains to stop being so anxious and annoying.

See, our brains are wired to solve problems. In our modern world of on demand food, endless wardrobes, a roof over our heads and running water, we don’t have a ton of serious problems.

So our brains get restless.

You know when everything is going pretty well but then you get ~anxious~?

That is a brain that lacks creative stimulation.

We need to give it a problem, so it stops making problems.

But here is the catch for this step, this creative task needs to have no outcome.

It doesn't matter if your poem sucks, if your drawing looks like chicken scratch, or your solution actually doesn’t work.

What matters is the process.

So in this step we create

without expectations,

we experiment,

we try new things,

we FAIL.

And it may be weird at first.

In a capitalist society if we 'fail' we basically die.

But we have to rewire that if we are ever going to be happy.

You can not succeed on your 20th podcast if you don’t make 17 that absolutely suck, and 3 okay ones.

We need to experiment.

We need to have permission to be bad, to fail, to have fun in the process and stop taking everything so seriously.

Finally,

once we’ve done these four steps,

we’ve grounded our nervous system, we’ve felt our feelings,

we’ve found our pleasure,

we’ve used our creative energy, then we can finally move into:

5. Rise

This is the step our society is most familiar with, but it comes last for a reason.

This is finding work, identity, and values that align with our highest self.

Most of hustle culture tells you this is the first step:

"Find your identity, find your passion, and HUSTLE!! Not working???

HUSTLE HARDER!!!!!!

Still not working????

Well that must be YOUR fault for being a lazy sack of shit."

Okay boomer.

Rise is where we take everything we’ve just learned about ourselves and apply it as a foundation to build our daily paradise.

We can’t rise without grounding, without feeling, without pleasure, and without creativity.

Rise is where we build a life and identity based on who we actually are and what we actually want to create.

A sustainable life that light us up and aligns with our values.

A life that truly, deeply fulfills us.

That is Rise.

And This is

The Paradise Path.

Your Highest Self Awaits

So how does the micro retreat work?

the paradise path micro-retreat

For one week you will get an email each day with everything you need to complete the retreat tasks. Some days are about resting, some are more active.

Each day has a short video to explain the step and its science. Plus daily tasks like journal prompts, activities, core questions & bonus guided audio journies.

We have built a micro-retreat community platform to share your experiences and insights each day and connect with other like-minded souls!

The first time I learned about safety I had a panic attack.

I realized I had never felt truly safe in my life.

As I lay there on the floor trying to regulate my breathing, I knew this would be a hard road.

There was so much for my body to unlearn, to release.

So many times I acted okay when I was not.

But I knew that without this release, all the pleasure that I indulged in was just an escape, a way to not feel what I needed to feel.

Pleasure can be an escape; we can only dream of excess when our nervous system is fried, when our feelings are locked inside.

But pleasure, our erotic, joyful nature, is our life force.

It is how we fuel any dream or goal we want to achieve.

I needed to go deeper.

Start at the root, heal my nervous system, feel my feelings, and then, pleasure became my super power.

Creative work then came easily and quelled my anxiety, my goals became obvious and manageable.

My life finally came together when I went deep, and came up for air through joy, finding everything I desired waiting for me at the surface.

From then, daily integration built me my dream life,

and The Paradise Path was born.

Who This Retreat is For

You've tried bone broth, sea moss, pilates, matcha, therapy, cold plunges, red light, bio-hacking, etc. and still feel like your highest self is out of reach.

You've worked hard at your career and may have found success but you've burnt out and now it feels boring, empty, or lonely.

You are craving more aliveness, more joy, more pleasure, without it feeling like an escape or shameful.

Your body at rest is tense, aching, or injured. You want to teach your nervous system to actually relax.

You are committed to showing up for yourself and doing the work even when it feels icky.

You're a bad bitch who loves to have fun, dress up, dance, be sexy, and smash the patriarchy.

Hey Babe!

I'm Madelyn.

Pleasure Activist, Artist, and Entrepreneur

Since I was 3 years old I knew I had an important message to share with the world. It took me 25 years to figure it out, and another 5 to package it perfectly. The Paradise Path is it.

I have been a pleasure professional (aka sex worker!) for over a decade and extensively studied the effects of pleasure on our nervous system and in our culture. This step, along with the other four, is the secret to true happiness and longevity.

I have diplomas and certifications in performance art, business, yoga, music management, and more on the way. I am a wife, dog mom, daughter, and girl's girl to all my besties. I love matcha, film photography, and drag queens. I am queer and of English & Indian heritage living on the West Coast of Canada.

I live in Paradise every day because of these teachings and I believe every human deserves this too. Especially you! It is my life's work to bring the Paradise Path to the world, and this is just the beginning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Give me all the details!

What do I need to do each day?

Each day you will get an email to your inbox with a main video to watch. Most days will also include a daily task, a guiding question, and some journal prompts. There are also bonus meditations and visualization journeys to deepen your practice. Plus a bonus video to see how each step is impacted by our current culture.

How long do I have access?

As long as you keep the email in your inbox!

Is there a community aspect?

Yes! When you sign up you will get a log in email to make your account. Follow that link to sign in and start interacting with the community, and follow the link in each retreat email to get to the community conversation for that step to share your insights and experience.

Is this an actual retreat?

It is designed to be a micro-retreat you can complete from home or anywhere. We recommend not having any major events that week in the morning or evening so you have the space to complete the tasks and integrate the teachings. You don't have to actually go anywhere, it is designed to be completed in 20-30 minuets each morning and 30-60 minuets each evening.

How much does it cost?

It is completely free! The Paradise Path wants to make this information as accessible as possible. There will be paid offerings in the future for those who want a deeper experience but this micro-retreat is 100% free.

When should I sign up?

When you fill out the form on this page it will trigger two automatic welcome emails. The first email of seven days will come 24 hours after that. Ideally you will want to sign up early in the morning to have the emails come through first thing. OR if you sign up later in the day, just skip a day and start the next day so you will always have the email in your inbox by the morning. E.G: You signed up Saturday at 2pm, you would start Monday morning.
