Such a great group at the July Invisible Cages Workshop. It was fascinating hearing their stories, what patterns they found themselves caught in and being privileged to witness their vulnerability.

I learned so much from them about the power of sitting back and avoiding over-teaching. One of the cages is called the competence cage, and I find myself trapped in it often. That shows up for me by over-teaching, because I fear that if I don't give people all the information I know all at once, it won't be valuable for them. I won't be valuable.

The Competence Cage also feeds perfectionism when paired with the Scarcity Cage. It says, "I only get one shot at this, so it has to be excellent." This is a lie. I can try again. I can fail and learn, and nothing disastrous will happen, despite what my internal beliefs tell me.

How does the Competence Cage show up in your life?

One of my greatest challenges in my self growth journey is learning patience as I wait for my hard work to pay off. I start wondering if all the work I have done is a waste of time, because I haven't seen anything come of it yet. However, I'm finally entering the era where I am starting to see the positive results come back.

No effort is wasted, even if only because of the skills you must learn in order to do the process.

What efforts are you waiting to see results from? What if you have have already started seeing them, but you just don't realize it yet?

Throwback to our inaugural Salt Salon! We all had so much fun jamming afterward. The @slclunatics provided acoustic instruments and @jcsmagnificentmix performed some of the black out poetry left behind by other attendees. New in-person events will start back up in 2026. For now, you can attend digital salons every Thursday from 7:00-8:30 MST!

Check out the Salt Salon's first course, Burnout Academy. Link in bio!

Here’s to doing something I never thought I would or could do. In a place I never thought I could make it through. In the end people the people in my life helped me accomplish something that I didn’t think I had in me. Thank you to all of you for the help and just for existing to help me enjoy a place that was the totally opposite of what I was used to. Ups and downs are a part of every story and some relationships gained and lost along the way but I’m happy to have everyone pictured as a friend of mine whenever I magically decide to come back and visit. Also there’s a bunch more I want pictured, new phone doesn’t have too many photos but you guys are loved as well. My roots are planted in this place with being the beginning of my life and im happy with all I was able to do and see but it’s time for some warmer weather. 🥶 College educated woj on the way to the horizon line

Here’s an unedited phone clip from a Monday Night Blues Jam at The Green Pig a few weeks ago. If you’re looking to hear or perform blues music in Salt Lake City, this is a great place to do it! Highly recommended!
Please help me by tagging the artists in this video. We want them to see how amazing they are!

Thank you all for such an amazing evening at our first Salt Salon. It was such a pleasure connecting with new friends. Thank you for the amazing jam session at the end of the night! @slclunatics was kind enough to bring the Oasis of Sound, a collection of acoustic instruments that were open to all attendees. This event couldn't have happened without help from Brad and all the wonderful people connected to that organization.

Let's talk about the photos for a second though. I feel so honored that @frannyeerroo was willing to bring his exceptional photojournalistic talent to the evening and capture all the moments of beauty and connection between attendees and performers. He is so, so easy to work with and generous with his talents.

Be well and do good,
Rachel Rayner

🎭 Join us for Salt Salon—a gathering of wild hearts, sharp minds, and creative souls.
This month, we explore self-efficacy—your belief in your ability to shape your life.
Not through theory alone—but through poetry, music, movement, and the art of dialogue.

🎤 Featuring the incomparable Jean C. Howard, slam poet and truth-teller, whose words have echoed from the Smithsonian to the underground stage.
🎻 And the spellbinding Pfuzz (Alexis)—musician, storyteller, and emotional force—will make you laugh and perhaps cry with her performance.

🧠💬 Host Rachel Rayner will guide us through the psychology of self-efficacy, sparking ideas that bloom into expression.

Then the night becomes yours.

🎨🎶 Step into creative spaces.
Paint. Dance. Play. Converse.
Or simply sip wine, savor homemade food, and witness the unfolding of shared artistry.

🌊 The evening culminates in an Oasis of Sound—a collective jam where art and insight collide.

✨ You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need to arrive.

📅 Sunday, April 6 | ⏰ 6–10 PM
📍 Lark Studios – SLC
🎟️ Tap the link in bio to join the gathering.

✨ Have you ever stood at the edge of something beautiful… and hesitated?

Afraid to speak.
To be seen.
To step forward as your whole self.

Fear whispers, “You’re not ready.”
But what if bravery isn’t being fearless—
What if it’s leaping anyway?

The night will focus on storytelling, conversation, and creative activities about the core tenant of courage, self-efficacy. Jean C. Howard, one of the originators of slam poetry, will perform poetry and also answer questions regarding how she became a trailblazer whose work went from being performed in Chicago bars to memorialized in the Smithsonian.

Will you join us in making history right here in Salt Lake City?

When: April 6 6-10pm
Where: @larkxcostudio
Tickets: in bio

Hosted in association with the @slclunatics
