What happens when the life you know changes overnight? In this episode, I'm joined by Ellie Workman Pulido for a heartfelt conversation about loss, uncertainty, resilience, and learning how to trust life when the path ahead isn't clear. After losing her home in the Palisades fires, Ellie found herself navigating a season she never could have anticipated. Together, we explore what it looked like to...

Have you ever achieved something you thought would make you happy, only to realize you still weren't fulfilled? Or found yourself attaching your worth to the results you're creating, believing that if you could just accomplish enough, achieve enough, or get the outcome you wanted, then you could finally relax? In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Conley, who is the founder and CEO of Laura Conley...

Have you ever found yourself wondering, "Why am I not happier?" Or feeling frustrated that you've done the work, yet you're still experiencing difficult emotions? In this episode, we're exploring a truth that can be incredibly freeing: you were never meant to be happy all the time. I share why uncomfortable emotions aren't evidence that something has gone wrong, how to reframe challenging seasons...

What if you've been looking outside yourself for answers that have been within you all along? Many of us have been taught to compare our lives to others, follow someone else's blueprint, and believe we should be good at everything, but what if that was never the point? Each of us has a unique set of gifts, desires, strengths, and experiences that make us who we are. We all have an internal guidanc...

What if creating the life you desire has less to do with changing your circumstances and more to do with changing what you're giving your attention to? In this episode, we're exploring what it means to become a deliberate creator of your experience. You'll learn how your conditioning influences what you focus on, why attention is one of your greatest creative powers, and how to begin consciously c...

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, frustrated, or like you’re doing everything you can and still not seeing results then you're in the right place. There’s a part of growth and expansion that nobody really talks about, the in-between phase. This is the season where your mind starts questioning everything because you can’t yet see the evidence that things are working out. In this episode, I’m talk...

Life isn’t always easy, and no amount of spiritual work exempts us from being human. In this episode, I’m sharing the reminders I return to when life feels heavy, uncertain, overwhelming, or hard to navigate. The perspectives that help me move through fear, doubt, worry, and challenging seasons with a little more softness, trust, and self compassion. Because while we often think we want life to be...

Most of us were handed the same story early on: work harder, do more, achieve enough - and eventually, your life will feel the way you want it to feel. So we did. We added more, pushed through, kept going, and somewhere along the way, we started to notice that no matter how much we did - something still felt like it was missing. In this episode, I want to offer you a different truth. One that I ha...

After 200 episodes of the Connect Back In podcast, I wanted to sit down and share the biggest truths that continue to reveal themselves over and over again - both in my own life and in the lives of those I work with. In this episode, we talk about: Why so many of us were taught to look outside of ourselves for worth, safety, and fulfillment Why identity shifts are the catalyst to create lasting ch...

You’re doing the work, you’re aware, and you might even have the tools. Then, something comes up - anxiety, pressure, discomfort - and your first instinct is to fix it. In this episode, we’re talking about how to actually be with uncomfortable emotions, without turning them into another problem to solve, and more importantly, why feeling uncomfortable doesn’t mean something is wrong. It often mean...

If you’ve been feeling like your life hasn’t fully started yet, this episode is for you. Somewhere along the way, manifestation became about getting to a future moment whether it be the relationship, the money, the clarity, the version of you who finally feels at ease. However, in doing that, we unintentionally disconnect from the only place life is actually happening: right now. In this episode,...

You’ve been taught to look for proof. Proof that it’s working, that you’re doing it right, and that what you want is actually coming. But here's the thing - what if that’s the very thing keeping it from you? In this episode, I’m walking through the subtle way we use results as permission to feel safe, to relax, to trust, and how that keeps us in a cycle of waiting. Because every time you go lookin...

What if the version of you you’ve been trying to fix was never broken? In this episode, I explore the belief so many of us have been living from - that life is a climb. That we have to push, prove, and struggle our way to some future point where we’ll finally feel fulfilled. But what if that path was never yours? I share a different way of living, one that isn’t about fixing or striving, but about...

If your life looks good, but doesn’t feel the way you thought it would, this is for you. You’ve done what you were supposed to do, and you’ve built something you’re proud of, and yet, it still feels like something is missing. In this episode, we explore why that feeling isn’t actually about your life, it’s about where you’re coming from within it. Because when you feel like you’re not enough, that...

If you’ve been feeling like you need to become a better version of yourself in order to finally feel calm, confident, or at peace ... this episode is for you. So many high-achieving women are living in a constant loop of trying to fix, improve, and “get there” - believing that once they figure it out, do more, or become more - then they’ll feel better. But what if that’s the very thing keeping you...

If you’ve ever tried to slow down, and immediately felt uncomfortable or like you should be doing something, this may be why. For a long time, I believed I had to force my life into working. Figure it out. Control it. Keep pushing until it happened. So slowing down didn’t feel like peace, it felt unsafe. Because if you don’t feel supported, or like you’re enough, of course you’re going to try to c...

There’s a moment in almost everyone's journey to their dream where doubt starts to creep in. The timeline may stretch longer than you expected, nothing looks like it’s moving, and you start quietly wondering if maybe it just isn’t going to happen. In this episode, I share a few perspectives that have helped me stay connected to faith even during seasons where the evidence wasn’t there yet, because...

In this episode, I’m walking you through the three foundational pillars that shape The Membership, and why they’re not just relevant inside that space, but for any genuine spiritual growth journey. So often, we approach growth from a place of fixing, striving, or trying to become someone else. We believe if we just learn more, do more, or improve more, we’ll finally arrive at the version of oursel...

“Who am I to want that?” If that thought has ever crossed your mind - whether it’s about money, visibility, ease, success, or simply wanting more - this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the quiet guilt that disguises itself as humility and keeps so many of us playing smaller than we’re meant to. Thriving doesn’t take from anyone else. You cannot dim yourself enough to help others rise. You upli...

What if the phase where nothing appears to be happening is actually an essential part of manifestation? So often, we’re taught to expect immediate results. That once we shift internally, our outer world should reflect that change right away. So when it doesn’t, it can be easy to assume that something has gone wrong, or that we need to do more to make it happen. But manifestation doesn’t unfold as...

What if feeling good has less to do with your circumstances, and more to do with how you’re treating yourself each day? In this episode, I explore the subtle but powerful difference between self-honoring and self-abandoning, and how the small, seemingly insignificant choices you make every day shape how you feel about your life. I talk about the internal guidance system within all of us - that qui...

If you’re on a path of growth, healing, or self-discovery, there’s one practice that changes everything: compassion and grace toward yourself. In this episode, I share why self-compassion isn’t something you earn after you’ve “done enough work,” but something that’s essential if you want to live from the truth of who you already are. We explore how so many of us move through life as though we have...

Comparison can quietly make us doubt ourselves. Why does it feel like others are ahead? Why am I still here? What am I missing? In this episode, I explore the meaning of comparison — and how to reframe comparison in a way that feels supportive instead of defeating. Rather than seeing comparison as a sign that you’re behind, we look at how it can point to what’s available to you. When something you...

A lot of people get frustrated on their spiritual or personal growth path. Why am I still struggling with this? Why does this feel uncomfortable? Why am I meeting resistance if I “know better”? In this episode, I talk about why resistance is not a sign that you’re failing - it’s often a sign that you’re remembering who you are. This path isn’t about becoming someone better, more healed, or more ev...

What if manifestation didn’t require more effort, discipline, or fixing yourself? In this episode, I’m sharing a live conversation originally hosted on Zoom, where we explored a gentler, more sustainable way to manifest - one rooted in identity, nervous system safety, and inner wholeness, rather than pressure or hustle. So many of us have been taught that we need to become someone else before we c...
