In this heartfelt conversation, Dahlia reflects on their journey through grief following their father's passing, exploring the complexities of loss, community, and self-identity. They discuss the challenges of productivity and self-worth, the importance of authenticity in creative expression, and the need for empathy balanced with personal boundaries. Throughout the dialogue, Dahlia emphasizes...

What is my subconscious trying to tell me? This episode came straight out of a dream. It was about the search and retrieval of [emotional] baggage and how much that can cost us. We all carry something- beliefs, expectations, old versions of ourselves- that we think we need . But what happens when we finally unpack it, only to realize it was never worth the weight? In this episode, I explore the hi...

It's a Blast from the Past! (and not just becuase we recorded this interview back in June) Tiktok's Queen of Nostalgia, Jenna Barclay, joins me to discuss everything from our favorite Y2K trends to the deeper conversations about how social media has rewired the minds of an entire generation. We discuss the early days of paparazzi, the fears that surrounded the new millennium, and how the consumpti...

Rosaura is BACK! and this time she has come to discuss one of my all time favorite subjects: Human Design . If you aren't familiar with Human Design, it is basically a super-system that can be used as a roadmap for guidance on how to use your energy as well as just general aspects of your identity that may make you feel more seen than ever before. If you have never generated your human design...

Grieving during the holidays was definitely not what I expected—it was definitely much more difficult than I anticipated. But we did it. We made it through. (Not without kicking and screaming and numbing—but we did it nevertheless). I didn’t want this podcast to focus on grieving and sadness, but I have to be honest about where I am, so this episode is just a little update about where I am at on m...

As I looked back through my year, I wanted to give as much focus (if not more) to the good times as I did the “bad.” And as difficult as this year was, I had so many positive aspects to focus on. I give a difficult update that I have been avoiding sharing, but I didn’t want it to be the focus of the episode—not this one at least. And I want to thank all of you for being so supportive. I am really...

This week’s episode covers a wide range of emotions as I update you on the good and bad of what’s been going on with me lately—but the overall theme that I want you guys to take from this episode is that when we focus on the good, it carries us through the difficulties that we are facing. I want to give a little trigger warning here, because I do discuss some pretty heavy topics, but again—I want...

Being vulnerable may seem like my strong suit—but this episode gives an example of how and why I struggle to open up to the people in my life. Being open is terrifying. We run the risk of being hurt; but this episode covers why it’s important to open up EVEN IF we get hurt. And it's not only about opening up once—but staying open even after we get hurt. Here is the link for the TED Talk I disc...

This week’s episode is about the difference between dedication and commitment. The two words are relatively synonymous, however there’s one small distinction—passion. When passion is involved, you will find yourself coming back to something regardless of how difficult it is. We do things not out of obligation, but out of inspiration. I encourage you to check in with your commitments & decide if yo...

Don’t let the astrological verbiage scare you, you won’t need any prior knowledge of astrology to enjoy this episode. Basically we are using this time to review our beliefs and “stories” about LOVE: What are my beliefs? Where did they come from? Are they serving me? And what would I like my beliefs around love to look like moving forward? I share some of the outdated beliefs that I had about love,...

You know the saying “you are who you surround yourself with”? This week’s episode is all about taking a mental inventory of our relationships and asking ourselves if we want the “FYPs” of our friends to bleed into ours. https://linktr.ee/dahliabradshaw

!!TRIGGER WARNINGS!! This week's episode carries a LOT of heaviness with it. I speak very openly about depression, suicidal thoughts and feelings, and sexual assault. Now there is a happy ending--but if this is a conversation you do not yet feel ready to have, I encourage you to take your time and listen at a time that feels right for you. I just want to remind everyone that it is okay if you...

You know what happens to a plant that stays in a small pot for too long? This week’s episode is a quickie but a goodie—just some encouragement to do a little check in with yourself and your “pot.” https://linktr.ee/dahliabradshaw

The story of the tortoise and the hare has been on my mind a lot lately. Lately, life has felt a bit like a string of Sprints all back to back, and that can lead to burnout with (often) very poor results. There is a time to push, and force, and forge ahead—but we also need to remember that there is no rush to success. It will find us in the time that it is meant for us. What’s most important for u...

Sometimes just getting out of bed is hard, and there are absolutely going to be days where we have ZERO motivation—but this is my plea to you to keep going. Sometimes the only thing we can do is sit in our discomfort and wait for it to pass. And it will! I just want you guys to remember that the only failure is giving up. Use this moment to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and reconnect to you...

Have you ever had a catalyst moment? That moment where everything changes? Maybe you’re going through one right now. If you are having that “tower” moment—this episode is here to help remind you that things aren’t always what they seem. Happy listening! https://linktr.ee/dahliabradshaw

Have you ever caught yourself cringing at the older versions of yourself? Or worse?—shaming that version of yourself. IFS therapy has really helped me find compassion for myself and those old parts of me. I think when we view those “novice” parts of ourselves as the courageous beings that we are, we allow ourselves even more room to grow. Check out the book “No Bad Parts” if this is something you...

You may have heard of the Restrict and Binge Cycle as an Eating Disorder, but this week I realized that this was the pattern that was permeating every aspect of my life. This episode covers how I've been dealing with trying to find balance and decrease some of the intensity of my binge/restrict cycles. Follow on Social: https://linktr.ee/dahliabradshaw

This week I’ve been dealing with analysis paralysis, perfectionism and learning to make mistakes, and spiritual bypassing. Today’s episode is dedicated to anyone who suffers from indecision. https://linktr.ee/dahliabradshaw

This week I’ve been focusing on Parts Integration—a procedure under IFS Therapy (Internal Family Systems). The theme of the last few weeks have been trying to synthesize these seemingly opposing forces/beliefs into one cohesive unit. However, this has not necessarily come to me easily. I often worry that integration means losing parts of myself. So this week I started reading the book “No Bad Part...

Update on my 30 Days of Prioritizing Pleasure Journey. This week I want to remind you that over-correction is not a bad thing, it's NORMAL. We are learning to make different choices that are in alignment with our purpose, and that is not an easy thing to do. As we heal, we have to learn to trust ourselves to make the right decisions--and this can be hard when you don't trust yourself. So a...

Trigger Warning. This week's episode is deeply personal. I discuss my recent struggle with depression and medication. In my pursuit to take care of my mental health, I have decided to Prioritize Pleasure. I realized that I was sending mixed signals to the Universe because I didn't even know what I want. I still don't. So, for 30 days, I will be searching for things that make me feel go...

This week's podcast guest was Benjamin Camras- Flirt Coach Extraordinaire. I had such a blast with Benjamin discussing all things fLiRty. He offered insights on building confidence, long distance and platonic flirting, and even how he makes the connection between flirting and spirituality! This was one of my favorite interviews so far, so grab a Cosmo, follow Benjamin on all the platforms, and...
