Figuring Sh!t Out

6 months ago, I got off the hamster wheel, quit my corporate job, & traveled to Bali for Yoga Teacher Training. I went through the highs and lows of choosing a yoga teacher training, learned the hard lessons of first-time solo transatlantic travel, and lived to tell the tale. In this episode, I share about everything I gathered in my journey to Bali, how I chose a Yoga Teacher Training, what Y...

Walk with me through six truths to remember and come home to when life feels impossibly heavy. From the murky edges of uncertainty to the quiet wisdom of who we choose to surround ourselves with, this episode is a gentle guide for the tender, relentless act of becoming. In this episode, I speak to the ache of transitions and the courage of leaning into what’s alive: movement as medicine, community...

Patience is a virtue for a reason: it allows the space to be curious. And in curiosity -- life is explored, paths are formed, and the beautiful glimmers that make life worth living are found. In this episode: trust, timing, resistance, and the real work of staying in it. We talk about letting go of the timeline, releasing the force of outcomes (unfurling the clenched hand of control, if you will)...

If it feels like it is all falling apart, maybe it is. But maybe - it has to so that a new way can emerge. In this short episode, I dive into a core pillar of Figuring Sh!t Out: Feeling like you don't have Sh!t figured out (followed by a subsequent, sometimes immediate, existential crisis and break-down that makes you feel a little chaotic.) I talk to you about the power of letting yourself fe...

Today, I sit down with one of the most inspiring and grounded women I've had the chance to speak to - the type of woman every coming-of-age gal needs in their life: soul-connected, supportive, and resilient in mind, body, and spirit.

There is no greater force more powerful than the quiet, silent, nearly imperceptible whisper of your gut. This knowing, this sensation, this whisper - it urges you subtly and softly with the faint voice of: "yes." "no." "this way" "that way" "do this thing" "don't do that thing," and the more adept we are at listening to it - The easier our align...

Our bodies - they live for us.  And they allow us to live.  They give us the ability to sift through this life experience with the breath of both joy and fear, the expression of both laughter and pain. In them, we celebrate.  In them, we ache.  And yet in them, we often do everything we can:  To escape them.  We meet ourselves in the mirror, avoid our eyes, and dart to the pieces of our beings tha...

This episode is a love-letter to aliveness, and gives you sacred permission to be soft, silly, and slow. It asks:  What if today, you let yourself believe it was all magic?  What if joy wasn't something to earn — but something to practice?  This is your invitation to reject the homogenization of happiness, to romance the ordinary by becoming alive to our senses, and to let bliss be your rebell...

Trauma is not what happens to us - it is what happens inside of us as a result of what happens to us. Which is why healing comes from the inside out -- through modalities that often get us out of the thinking mind and into the body. We've all heard it: The Body Keeps the Score. But what does that mean? In this episode, I sit down with Dana Carretta-Stein — a certified EMDR therapist and trauma...

Reflecting on two years of sharing my heart & soul with the world, I outline the five most important things you need to know in beginning to listen to what your heart calls you to. We discuss the identify shifts that happen when you start showing up authentically and what I’ve learned about liv...

Surrender is soft, sweet, – and so quiet, you’d almost miss it. And I think that is why we do.  What is your relationship with the need to know?  What is your dialogue with desire?  What gnaws at the insides of your brain and creates compulsions of “must do’s” and “have to”?  What lie led you to believe that those traits serve you more than they hurt you?  Herein lies the entrypoint to your darkes...

Time is an illusion, yet a powerful tool. It is the quickest way to magic or stagnancy, depending on how we use it. This episode explores how we use our time through the portal of words, thoughts, and actions to create the life we want or perpetuate the life we don't. It explores how we can embrace timing, reframe and shift our perspective of time, and unlock possibilities through our beliefs....

Allow this episode to inspire a shift in your energy.  Allow it to remind you that life is meant to be lived. That joy is a choice. That ease is only as simple as we make it. That thinking about your feelings or journaling about them is not the same as feeling them. That the tools for change in any moment are inside of the gift of your presence.  This episode is for my fellow thought daughters, th...

Today, I turn 25. And on the quarter of a century anniversary of being brought into this world, I realize that to look at aging as a gift or a grievance defines the course and direction of most of our lives. It is a choice made every single day - in how we decide to live, breathe, and be. This episode is about growing up. And also, deciding that we don't have to let that mean anything more tha...

True transformation happens when the discomfort of staying the same becomes more unbearable than the discomfort of change.  And change? Transformation? Getting all you dream about? Having the courage TO dream at all?  It's not all rainbows. It is certainly uncomfortable. But it is at once ---- Expansive. Heart-opening. Boundless. Miraculous.  Remember: life is duality. You cannot have the expa...

And if you know that you deserve more than you've gotten in romantic relationships but you haven't been able to receive it — this episode is for you.  If you've been around the block getting your heart broken or fearing to let it be loved or found yourself in a thousand different ruts dating people who just don't feel right for you — thi...

"I love you where you are and I love you where you're going," This is a mantra I have been using in my life for the last few weeks - one I have shared with all of you on this show, and one that defines what this episode is truly about.  A few episodes ago, you asked for a template to my personal tracking techniques - ones that have held me accountable and have allowed me to take this T...

You are exactly where you need to be to create something only you can create. And the call is not coming from the phone you spend your life connected to – the call is coming from inside the house. It’s coming from inside of you. It's subtle - and you must be open to listen to it. But our entire society has been structured to keep you disconnected from it.  We live in an age of over-consumption...

The only thing that guarantees our failure in any endeavor is if we give up.  Yet, we flirt with our own uncertainty and imposter syndrome more than we embrace our dreams and goals, talking ourselves out of what we want and what it takes to get there instead of talking ourselves into action.  We ask: "Is this worth it? Am I doing the right thing? Spending my time in the right places?"  We...

Awaken curiosity where it is confined in your life, allow creation to occur through the expression of your soul, and enable the radical act of romanticization to transform you - because what a tragedy it would be, if you got everything you ever wanted in your life, but you forgot to have fun.

“Greet the piece of you that is longing to unravel. Hold it. Move the furniture out of the way so that it can collapse onto the floor like a puddle.  Let it simmer in the space between your breath and let yourself taste the salt from the tears you may have never gotten to cry.  Fold into your bones.  Allow the whispers of what’s left to come through you.  Don’t rush to rebury that hatchet.  Learn...

Slowly but surely: that is the motto for the beginnings of a new year.  At a time where the world tells us that it’s the time to be brand new - while all we yearn for is stillness, how do we find reconciliation between setting intentions + and moving with the slow beat our body may crave during the winter-time?  This episode is another breath away from all of the noise around needing to be someone...

May you give yourself the gift of slowing down. May you allow yourself to start over whenever you need, whenever you please, and not when the world tells you that it's time. May you gift yourself the purity of rest and the peace of pause. May you allow this year to leave you and the new one to form with grace, ease, and patience. May you embrace that nothing may feel different, yet everything...
