A membership for solopreneurs, witches, artists, and other ungovernable weirdos who are trying to build a well-resourced life inside late-stage capitalism without turning themselves into machines.

It's a fertile ground for sharing resources to sustain the web of connection--and by extension, each being within it. Here, your suffering is not a prerequisite to care or belonging. All you need is a burning desire to become a co-architect of a post-capitalist reality through the work you've been called to do.

The Mycelial Network is for solopreneurs who care about how you make your money just as deeply as how much money you make. It’s the space for anyone who’s ever thought “I could be doing so much more with my business if I was just okay with being a scammer,” or “I want to expand my village as a business owner but I’m simply too [burnt out/disabled/exhausted] to attend in-person events.” This space exists because I found myself in all of these categories during the first 3 years of my business, juggling brand new motherhood with my position as the sole income earner in my household and my newfound AuDHD status. After a deeply transformative period of isolation, it dawned on me that not only was I already supported by a network of visible & invisible forces (like the mycelium), I also had the responsibility to nurture the conditions of my life so that a network of support could properly bloom. The Mycelial Network is one result of that decision to nurture (and yes I do have a Cancer Midheaven, thank you very much).

If you know your business is meant to be more than a side hustle, and you feel soul-level committed to seeing your vision through—whether you’re dragged along by your dreams or motivated by the nightmare—but you know you’re lacking the communal support required to thrive as an anti-capitalist solopreneur, The Mycelial Network is the digital gathering place you’ve been looking for.

Capitalism expects you to operate as a closed-loop system. You're expected to perform consistency and productivity and availability to your work at all times, regardless of what is going on in your life. Failure to do so is framed as just that: a failure--one that falls solely on your shoulders. Maybe you're told (or tell yourself) it's a mindset issue, a discipline issue, or a not-wanting-it-badly-enough issue. A lot of contemporary business advice rests on that premise, and although it may feel familiar or kind at first, this premise does not remain in the realm of ideas. It shows up in the body. It can show up as guilt when you rest, panic when things slow down, and a low hum of shame when your capacity fluctuates. It shows up when you try do things "the right way" and still cannot keep up with the pace that's been normalized around you.

The problem is, you are not a machine and you're not meant to run like one.

This is where the mycelium becomes a muse--not merely aesthetically, but philosophically as well. A mushroom is not the whole organism. A mushroom is the visible expression of a lifeform that mostly exists underground. Fruiting happens when the conditions allow for it, when there is enough stored energy to surface. The visible part is real, but it is not the whole story, and the mushroom is not the source of its own existence.

Business is similar, specifically for solopreneurs. The visible parts are what everyone is trained to fixate on: the offer, the output, the launch, the post, the performance of being "on". Those visible parts matter, but they aren't the whole story. What makes the visible possible is the support system beneath it: relationships, practices, infrastructure, and care that keep you resourced enough to show up in the first place.

Within this framework, you are not the brand and you are not the product. You are the fruiting body. Your capacity to teach, write, make, sell, and be seen is not seen as a moral achievement; it is an ecological outcome. It is what happens when the network underneath you is alive.

That network is the mycelium. It's the invisible web of resources that holds you up, and the relationships that make life less isolating. It also includes the boundaries which keep you from over-extending your resources, as well as the routines that help you remain grounded. The mycelial network includes people who share tools, language, truth, and other resources--or the ones who remind you you're not uniquely broken for failing to live up to the behavioral standards of a system designed to keep you exhausted and exploited. It includes practical things, too, like systems which reduce friction and structures that make it easier to return to our work (life's work, not wage labor) after interruptions, which are inevitable. None of these things are "extra" or luxuries. The mycelium is not optional. It is the thing.

The substrate is where it all meets. It's not an abstract concept, either; it's the actual conditions you are living through. This includes the understory, or primary layer, of late-stage capitalism, as well as everything going on in your life. It's your nervous system, your body, the care you give and the care you need. It's money and time and energy and access. It is the fact that some days are possible and some days are not. The substrate is not something you "rise above" if you are good enough. The substrate is the medium of reality, and a lot of shame comes from pretending otherwise.

This is why true business support cannot be separated from human support. If support is only available to you when you perform consistency, it's not support. If the business "advice" assumes you'll have infinite energy, infinite time, or a nervous system that never needs space to recover, then the advice is not neutral. Someone or something is invested in your exploitation. I learned this lesson firsthand when I spent 5 years floundering in an MLM structure where the only true mark of a "leader" or a successful business owner was someone who didn't balk at pushing their body beyond its limits or completely isolating themselves from anyone on the "outside". All of the recruitment being done within that system wasn't just recruitment into a profit strategy, it was recruitment into that paradigm where worth is measured by output--and consistency. This is sun cult strategy in action.

Taking a mycelial approach to your business means starting by redefining success. This approach makes room for timing and cycles. This approach understands that your ability to fruit depends on the conditions around you and beneath you, not just your personal will. It also rewires your concept of deservingness. Where capitalism trains people to believe resources should move toward those with the most merit and best performance, a living network moves resources toward those with the most need and the most connection. It responds to what is alive and communicating.

This does not mean everything becomes purified or perfected overnight, and it certainly doesn't mean anyone is spared the mess of living. It does mean you get to build from a place of truth. You receive permission (which you always had) to stop turning external limitations into a moral drama, and to stop treating support like something you have to earn by suffering. You get to practice receiving while alchemizing systemic and internalized shame. You get to contribute rather than just consume.

The point of running a business, for you, has never been to win at capitalism's game, although you know you probably could. You understand the game of capitalism. You can choose to break or abide by its rules whenever you want, and you understand there is a system of punishment for those who break the rules. You know how easy it would be to take the route of endless growth and manipulative marketing tactics and surface-level slop, and you’d be rewarded for it because you’d be following the rules. But that’s not why you started your business. You likely started your business because you sensed the fragility (or the absence) of your own mycelial network and desired a mechanism to support that invisible web that makes a life livable—even under the circumstances of capitalism.

Spreading spores (AKA marketing) has its place, both in a mycelial ecosystem and in your business ecosystem. Growth matters, money matters, visibility matters—especially under capitalism. But a life cannot be built on this dispersal alone, the same way your business cannot sustain itself on marketing trends or the endless social media grind. The Mycelial Network is about sustaining: feeding what’s already alive, moving resources where they’re needed, and staying in relationship with your limits so you can keep coming back.

Fruiting is not a constant state, and it isn’t supposed to be. The point is to build an underground web sturdy enough to hold you through seasons of visibility and seasons of quiet, so that whatever growth happens is a consequence of being resourced rather than exploited.
