Figuring Sh!t Out

In this episode, we discuss the need for harmony among the wholeness of our full selves - mind, body, and soul. The objectification and disconnection we often feel from our physical experience is the result of a fragmentation of our selves as a survival and defense mechanism - But there is a vital connection between our physical health & our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. If our...

Stop chasing happiness - it is a trap. Stop living your life for the future - it is a bigger trap. If you treat your life like a means to an end, you will always be left with the same question: "An end -- to what?" The novelty of life is that it is both fleeting and the only thing we will ever know. & The relentless pursuit for the meaning of it will only lead you to eclipsing your rig...

When you chose to heal, you chose to break cycles that have lived on for generations. There is immense power in that choice. And immense transformation. No one said it would be easy. This episode is an exploration into the power of The Dark Night of the Soul, which occurs during transformation to burn away all that is not aligned with the growth you've chosen for yourself. Like a Pheonix risin...

Life is vulnerability. Time and time again we find that we are on this journey to find the strength that we didn't know that we had. To shock and surprise ourselves at the ability to get through the rough days, long nights, and find the bliss of sunshine again and again, even when we think it may be gone forever. And to be a witness to our boundless ability to continue on loving when we feel l...

Integrating our Healing through Transformation + Finding Pure Alignment. That is the theme of this month on Figuring Sh!t Out.  It asks you to ask yourself:  "What would my life look like if I showed up for myself fully? If I believed myself capable? If I argued with my limitations and went beyond them? How am I clipping my own wings? What is my true potential?”  We find the answers to this th...

A new chapter. A new beginning. Season Two. A new theme: Almost always done, because we never will be. Never complete, because our wholeness isn't found outside of us. And on this episode, we cover how to find more of that wholeness. The only thing we should question -- is our limits. Confronting our comfort zones with the courageous act of taking ownership of our lives and lovingly accepting...

We are always changing. Whether we resist or allow. Change happens, with or without us - But always within us.  It is necessary to let ourselves let go of what we no longer need, bid farewell to what doesn’t serve us any longer, and step into an unknown future with bravery and hope.  To all who have been on their journey of Figuring Sh!t Out in 2023, with or without me — give yourself credit, let...

Imagine the freedom of living unencumbered by the fear of others' opinions, feeling rooted, grounded, and connected to yourself, your truth, and your exploration of life - where your worthiness is not a question, but a statement.  What would you do?  How would you act?  How would you move? As we end 2023, many of us are thinking about what we want to release and leave behind, and what we want...

We've all been there: one thing goes wrong, then another, then another - and we feel like a slave to our conditions, a slave to our mind's negative thinking patterns, unable to wake ourselves up or shake ourselves out of the rut we're in, and sometimes, the rut we are falling further into. How do you get out of that place? The one that feels so dark, so sticky, so dreary. How do you go...

This episode was recorded back in September of this year, but I found it in my audio-files and as I listened to it, I couldn’t help but know that it was never published for a reason. It felt as though I spoke directly to myself in my current situation — in the space between this September & this December, I have found myself amid quite a bit of career confusion, not having any answers or knowi...

Are you brave enough to let yourself change? To let yourself be taken out of the box of ideas and beliefs you cling onto, and gain clarity of consciousness, and the simplicity of presence?  This episode is a note on allowing yourself to evolve, to expand, and holding space for the liminal space between where you are now, and where you are going. To hold space for mystery, and find empowerment in l...

We all have a sense of timeless urgency.  Are we running out of time? Should we be somewhere else at this stage of our lives? What’s left to do? What’s next to accomplish? An urgency that we humanly attempt to fill with more material things, and more material dreams of material things. The importance of integrating gratitude into our daily routines is something that’s been talked about time &...

When our lives begin to brim with chaos, when we are facing deadlines and urgency and getting ready for life's momentous next moments, we often feel endlessly confused, as if there is an incessant thought-loop that never ceases to let us know that we will never have the answers. These are the moments when we need breath, perspective, and patience. Knowing that there is an older, wiser version...

To create true change in our lives, to become the version of ourselves that we wish to be, to shift our mindset from one of lack and scarcity to one of of abundance - it starts with the little actions we take every single day. The minutes that compound into hours, the hours that compound into days, the days that compound to weeks, then months, then years. If nothing changes now, then nothing will...

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: How many times have you talked yourself out of an idea because “it didn’t make sense?” because it “never has been done”?  What is a calling if we have silenced it for so long, we no longer know what calls to us? What is intuition goo...

We all have an intuition that is bravely, uniquely, and quietly our own. An unexplainable inner wisdom, a sixth sense that can hardly be articulated. Our acquaintanceship with our own intuition is deeply connected to how much we know and trust ourselves. To listen to it - we must have a certain solitude with the self, a practice of discernment with our mental activity to know what is intuition and...

This episode calls for redefining discipline in our external world and understanding when it's necessary to retreat in order to continue expanding. What can you give when your natural energy stores are depleted? Who are you when you have nothing left for yourself, because you've spent hours and days and weeks saying yes - against your natural knowing of what you need? What sacrifices  do y...

This episode serves as a guide to understanding your limiting beliefs, shattering those illusions, and how to identify and live in alignment with what you want and who you want to be. Last week, we covered letting go of the past. Now, we forge a new future. This requires one thing - an overlapping element from last week's episode and an underpinning of Figuring Sh!t Out: Honesty with the self....

In this episode, I take you through my last few weeks of navigating life & what it has taught me about:   Moving on. Moving forward. Facing an unknown future with a bit of fear but a lot of relief - in knowing what you are leaving behind.  Saying goodbye to your pain and to the stories it wishes to perpetuate. We cannot avoid feeling what we wish not to face.  They teach us the most valuable l...

"It is truly a great cosmic paradox that one of the best teachers in all of life turns out to be death. No person or situation could ever teach you as much as death has to teach you. While someone could tell you that you are not your body, death shows you. While someone could remind you of the insignificance of the things that you cling to, death takes them all away in a second. While people c...

This episode takes you through the critical aspects of inner child healing, from understanding the influence of our environment on the inner child, to releasing the pain of rejection and judgment. It's a deeply personal look into the struggles of independence, difficult relationships, and the desire for self-acceptance.  This episode is part one of an embarkation on shadow-work, a series to gu...

What would happen if we could trust that the chaotic tower moments were our divinely lit turning points for our own evolution? How much faster would we grow to see the sun if we could know that it would always rise again, after even the darkest of days?  How many blessings in disguise have you uncovered? How many bullets have you dodged? How many times have you looked back at yourself in shambles...

It starts with you. And it ends with you. Always and forever.  With the image casted upon us from Storybooks & Fairytales of the Damsel in Distress & the Knight in Shining Armor, we often feel in the depths of our pain and confusion, that we are to wait to be rescued by an unknown savior on horseback to break us out of the dungeon of affliction and into freedom. But this is an illusion. Fo...

The long, dreaded, and almost habitual cycle of Burn Out. Why? We desensitize our bodies and our brains to the overstimulus in this world of force and we are left physically exhausted, emotionally empty, and mentally overwhelmed. We blink our tired eyes awake and say yes when we know that we shouldn't. We strive, we push, we obtain - for what? For whom? How much is your worth based on how &#34...

Imposter syndrome impacts the greatest legends, experts, actors, writers, "knowers" and "do-ers" of all time. And yet - the biggest premise of feeling like an imposter, is feeling like we are the only ones hidden in disguise, waiting to be found out. "I have written 11 books, but each time, I think, 'uh oh, they're going to find me out. I've run a game on everybody,...
