Hi! I’m Pace Smith, co-host of The Dervish and the Mermaid, a podcast about living wholeheartedly, pathfinding, the Enneagram, feminism & activism for sensitive people, self-love & body love, and plenty more!

I’m a Sufi, a bridger, a Pathfinding coach, a writer, a pan poly trans gamer geek, a 3, and a tournament-level Dance Dance Revolution player.

My wife Kyeli and I live in Tacoma, Washington. Kyeli is a photographer, a poet, a teacher, a writer, a self-love advocate, a spiritual leader, and a pretty totally amazing person (in my completely unbiased opinion). She and I often collaborate on projects, watch (and try to solve!) murder mysteries, and rock out to chiptunes together.
