What if the problem was never that you were too much—but that you've been taught to be less? In this solo episode, I'm sharing the personal experiences that inspired a new direction in my work as a Liberation Coach.

In this episode, we discuss how seeing his mom raise him by herself led to his formidable work ethic and how you can’t just be a dreamer, you also have to be a doer.

On this solo episode of Write Your Path, I share a powerful abundance ritual inspired by the rare Venus-Jupiter conjunction—and why abundance has far less to do with money than most people think. Through stories from my own life and recent conversations with friends, I explore how scarcity shows up in subtle ways: settling for situations that make us unhappy, focusing on what's missing instead...

Today I speak with my friend and professional piñata maker, Juan Pablo Lascurain!

We discuss how piñatas are the main characters of the party—associated with joy, celebration, and mem...

This week on the podcast I host my friend and Ayurvedic chef Anastasia “Nastia” Volodchenko.

Nastia also tells us how she would make potions as a kid in Cyprus and hide them in...

This week I chat with my friend Anna-Rose, gelato master and owner of Amorcita Gelato in Mexico City.

In this solo episode I dive into the concept of yogic entrepreneurship: What is it? How was this idea birthed? How does it differ from regular entrepreneurship? How does one practice it? This idea came to me a few days ago so I wanted to share it with y’all as soon as possible.  Do you see yourself in me as I wrestle with this idea? How would you feel about practicing it in your own life? How woul...

This week I sit down with my friend Blue, founder of Shibari Mexico. We talk about how her involvement in the BDSM community led to a niche interest in Shibari, and how that passion turned into a professional calling. We also dig into the importance of building community—especially around our niche interests—why references are crucial, and how building a business around our passions can lead to do...

Today we’re talking about God! And the difference between Eastern and Western religions! And capitalism! And patriarchy! Really non-loaded topics TBH. LOL. Join me for a quick solo episode where I do my best to put my worldview into words. Another thing I failed to mention in this episode that I’d like to add: Having God be external also means needing intermediaries in order to reach/connect with...

Today I embark on a 30-day book writing challenge. Last year, one of my goals was to finish my book(s) of poetry. Spoiler alert: That didn’t happen. So I decided to challenge myself to 30 days of working on my book non-stop. Then I thought, what if others wanted to join me? That’s when the idea for First Pages Week was born, a book writing challenge where you write alongside me and we keep each ot...

This week I sit down with my dear friend, multidisciplinary artist Anastasia Shi. Anastasia’s path has definitely been winding; born and raised in Siberia, she moved to China the first chance she got, after which she moved to New York where she discovered her passion for art, before finally ending up in Mexico City with me! In this episode we talk about the need for playfulness in the digital age,...

In today’s solo episode, I recount the journey of recovering my voice—how I used to sing as a child and suddenly stopped, the emotional moment when I heard myself sing again, and how I realized I had to reintegrate the practice back into my life in order to truly reconnect with the healing power of my voice. I also dive into the yogic paths, why singing mantras has become so important to me, and h...

I’ve seen this transformation happen in real time, and let me tell you, it’s been beautiful to witness. Tune in as we talk about how meditation can completely change the way you ope...

Your Anger is Righteous. Now Harness It for Good. In this episode I make a case for anger—an often ignored or outright condemned emotion in the spiritual and conscious communities. But if we believe the teaching that no emotion—anger, sadness, joy, elation—is inherently “good” or “bad,” then why does anger get such a bad rap? I give some personal examples in my life of how I’ve harnessed anger for...

Since Caro has experience being a badass queer business lady in not one,...
