Figuring Sh!t Out

We won’t ever say it aloud - but most of us hold an ideal of perfection inside of our self-development routines. And after spending enough time nipping and tucking away pieces of ourselves that we don't like in an effort to curate the most acceptable, palatable, "perfect" version of us - what many of us will find is this: We are only as whole as we are able to accept the parts of us th...

"We are mosaics. Pieces of light, love, history, stars. Glued together with magic and music and words." - Anna Kritzen There’s a quiet grief that lives inside a lot of people. Because we’ve learned how to contain ourselves. Creativity was once somewhere we all went to feel alive, and became something we use to prove who we are.  We learn to identify with a medium, a label, an aesthetic, a...

This episode is not what you think it is.  It is not a hustle-forward, all-gas-no-breaks charge to a new year.  But it is also not a total rejection of the new year. It is a subtle and soft invitation into moving forward with reflection, ritual, and intention.  Through redefining and examining our relationship with "locking in," or what we turn out focus towards, we can refine our communio...

"Allow shame to find no home in your posture, in your dances, in your aura, in your lovemaking sounds, in your dreaming spaces, in your every single desire," - India Ame'ye This episode is an exploration of releasing shame, guilt, and fear from our bodies and rekindling our inner magic. Through poetry, storytelling, and recommended practices of somatic wisdom and inner reflection, this...

Growing wiser into the ancient knowledge of our spirit and the animalistic nature of our humanity demands the realization that many things our society looks at as luxuries are actually necessities.  One of them: rest. As a society, we have a complicated relationship with rest. An anxious-avoidant one where we long for it, but don't want to get too comfortable in it. We crave it, yet we fear le...

This episode is about remembering that your purpose was never meant to look like anyone else’s - and releasing the comparison that’s been convincing you you’re behind. I believe that we all have a gift. I believe that we all have a purpose. I believe that it is buried within the places we don’t want to look. It is entangled in the masterpieces of destruction, it is the diamond in the roughest mome...

Saying yes to yourself is an unraveling process of becoming closer and closer to the gift of uncertainty and confronting the fear that holds you hostage in order to receive it. In this episode, I share reflections of my journey in the last year saying the biggest, boldest yes I ever have: leaving my 9-5 last year to pursue a creative life. This episode was recorded from an adobe home in Santa Fe,...

you can’t create a life you love while starving the part of you that was born to create it. chapter three of The Perfectionist Diaries is an ode to the Good Idea Fairy - this childlike, intuitive, enchanted part of you that I created to represent the little voice that drops breadcrumbs, whispers nudges, and hands you ideas that could change your entire life (if you'd just listen!!) this episod...

Creation requires both the fire and the flow. In Chapter Two of The Perfectionist Diaries , we explore the cosmic dance between masculine and feminine energy: the part of you that initiates, and the part of you that softens and refines. This episode is a gentle excavation of the shadows beneath perfectionism: the fear of being perceived, the fear of shining too brightly, the ways we reject our own...

Courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to act despite it.  Waiting until you're fearless will keep you stuck in perfectionism forever.  And fear cannot live in a moving body.  So,  Move.  - The Perfectionist Diaries is a mini-series on Figuring Sh!t Out about breaking free from habitual perfectionism and learning to create through fear. This first chapter explores divine timing...

Decision is the bridge between your current reality and your highest potential. It is the pathway from survival to creation, from fear to embodiment, and from wishing to CHOOSING.  Because maybe you're not stuck - maybe you're just.. undecided.  And maybe, without realizing it, your lack of decision has already become one: the choice to stay disconnected, half-alive, half-in. This episode...

I don't know about you - but cynicism has never brought me more life. Judgement towards myself or others has never given me more purpose. Feeding resistance and resentment has never watered the seeds of my growth. Contrary to popular belief - joy is not naive. It is imperative. And this radical, yet simple decision to take the unserious seriously is what enables us to let go a little deeper in...

This week, we explore the tender space between solitude and connection, moving deeper into the theme of unapologetic self-expression (especially for those of us who learned to hide in self-protection.) For those of us who have long identified as "introverts," I ask you a very important question: are you ACTUALLY an introvert? Or do you just have social anxiety and are you scared to be seen...

Many of us have come to know our true selves and what alignment feels like to *some* extend, but how do you ~stay~ aligned, even when life isn't? Even when your environment.. isn't? This episode is all about staying rooted in love, alignment, and authenticity - no matter what’s happening around you. We explore the continuum of contrast, the wound of rejection, and the habit of people-pleas...

On this episode, we’re breaking down the real mechanics of manifestation and demystifying the heavily marketed *woo-woo* behind it. (....Coming from a girl who loves and firmly embraces the woo-woo.) Spirituality and science are finally beginning to speak the same language, and on this episode, we’re translating both.  This is a deep-dive into the inner physics of creation: how emotion shapes matt...

Season 4 opens with an invitation: to break subconscious contracts, to honor the duality of being and becoming, and to claim the inevitability of who you already are, embracing the fullness of your dreams with bravery and commitment. This episode walks you through the arc of survival, fear, and limitation - into freedom, expression, and truth. It maps the narrative arc of survival into self-expres...

gentle reminders for when you're overthinking, overwhelmed, and over-doing it. the art of let oneself be (without guilt) is a love letter to the magic that appears when you let go and it is done with the intention of: taking the BEING very seriously and the DOING very unseriously. this is the last episode of season three and the last page of the road less traveled chapter. so much more to come...

"What aspects of myself do I wish to experience now in the face of this calamity? What aspects of being do I choose to call forth? For all life exists as a tool of your own creation, and all of its events merely present themselves as opposites for you to decide to be who ou are. There are no victims. Only creators" - Neil Walsch, Conversations with God Thought-Daughtering my way through ev...

In a world that deman...

What if your expression: your voice, your vision, your rebellion was the most direct line to the divine? What if Art was your prayer? In this conversation with my dear friend Etai, we explore the thin veil between art and spirituality and the daily devotion of creativity and leading life with an open heart. We discuss in depth - The Artist's Way, fear, rejection, finding the right audience, li...
