Quantum coupon­ing is how I get it done. I was able to retire at twenty-three because my future selves are so pro­fi­cient at finding deals. I also have my children’s future selves working summer jobs quantum coupon­ing so that they can pay for their own college. 

Every­one asks me, how do you do it? How do you con­scious­ly encom­pass mul­ti­tudes while also raising chil­dren and their mul­ti­tudes? You need to have your future selves working for you, almost like employ­ees. They get the ben­e­fits of your knowl­edge of how to manip­u­late things on a quantum level from the past, and you benefit from their work iden­ti­fy­ing ways to corner the market on things that are cur­rent­ly con­sid­ered low value but will sky­rock­et in price, like toilet paper and tennis shoes.

How do I find the time to plan my life in mul­ti­ple time­lines? I admit it, I am very blessed to have the priv­i­lege of a nanny for my three chil­dren, a house­keep­er, various main­te­nance workers, and a full-time assis­tant. I could not do this on my own and still look the way I do.  But what every­one really wants to know is, what is my secret? I have a patent­ed system that allows me to harness the power of physics. In my first book, The Art of Quantum Coupon­ing, I teach every­day people how to gain inter­gen­er­a­tional wealth using the finan­cial dif­fer­en­tials of space/time.  

The book details how I went from inter­na­tion­al logis­tics to this lifestyle. But it takes sac­ri­fice. I did not take mater­ni­ty leave; instead, I bought flowers every day as a reminder of the boun­ti­ful nature of the world. When exhaust­ed, I’d take in a whiff of gar­de­nias, and it would settle my soul. I didn’t create an e‑mail vaca­tion respon­der, and my work­flow con­tin­ued unabat­ed. I know I will get a lot of flack about hustle culture, but I dis­agree. This is simply who I am, and I love the con­nect­ed feeling I get from talking with my future and past selves up to sixty times a day. 

Massive success has allure, but it’s com­pli­cat­ed. Co-par­ent­ing with Colton has been a bless­ing as he does not par­tic­i­pate in our quantum lifestyle. He loves to say that he is a simple “cause and effect guy,” and I love him for it. My M‑Sunday sched­ule is to let him handle the present-day kids while I admin­is­ter to the future kids’ lives and needs. It is a fair way of split­ting up the phys­i­cal work and emo­tion­al labor. 

People always want to know how I keep my future selves in line, and what it is like to be the present self of a past or future self? I hate to spill my secrets, but we are all present selves to our past and future selves—only some of us have aware­ness and train­ing in how to use it to our advan­tage. Our selves are intrin­si­cal­ly linked—just like a flower, there was once just a seed and inside that seed is all the infor­ma­tion needed to become the flower. 

If you are a com­pli­cat­ed person, you may choose con­scious­ly or uncon­scious­ly to emo­tion­al­ly self-sab­o­tage. That is how I ended up with acid reflux disease. I spent years in therapy trying to learn how to become more aligned with my future and past selves and quell the insane heart­burn. I didn’t even know you could feel your own esoph­a­gus, but mine felt like I’d been eating steel wool. The “good time gang,” as I like to call some of my past selves, were eating fried foods, drink­ing six packs of beer, and chain smoking. They expect­ed me not to notice.

With the advent of quantum lifestyles, there is an inher­ent tension between past and future selves as our desires and needs change over time. I’d like to be able to say that I have had a 100% time-stable persona. In truth, I have had to struggle. 

It helps to keep in mind when you are quantum coupon­ing that the person you are now is the one with the control of the cash and the sto­ry­line. Don’t be a thief of your own joy by com­par­ing your past and future selves—stay in the now and try to enjoy the bounty of all of your hard work.
