Focus on what you desire to nurture in your life. Allow your lion heart to shine... We are welcoming Leo season and the month of August, my birth month, with open hearts and fierce love - as would a true lion. The lion is the representation of the Leo zodiac sign and we can all learn a lot from the lion. In this mini-sode, I explore what it means to be "lion-hearted" and how to awaken your inner l...

"What you feed your soul is what you harvest with your actions." Following last week's mini-sode on the importance of taking a break, I fell sick and was truly forced inward to find stillness and reflect upon life lately.

Thank you for your understanding and for choosing to tune in with me again this week - your support means everything to me! This mini-sode provides insight into my decision to take a break and why breaks are important- from anything in lif...

"Savor life: Don't just breathe it in; exhale the moment to intake the next." Summer is here! The days feel longer, there's more hours of sunlight and the cities are alive again. With all that's going on externally, it's can feel easy to lose track of yourself internally. In this mini-sode, I share three ways to savor summer - by being mindful. Honour yourself and this present moment with a guided...

Honour yourself and this present moment with a guided meditation and healing sound bath by LUCIANA . Moment of mindfulness: What does kindness mean to you?

Discover the purpose within your connection to others. Two things are true about me: I am sensitive to the energy of others and I engage in frequent self-reflection/introspection. This has led me to evaluating many of the connections I make and maintain in life based on how they make me feel. You know those moments you return home from spending time with someone and you feel completely drained? Or...

Celebrations are grounded in gratitude. Recent life events including a new job and my brother's birthday caused me to reflect on celebrations. When do you celebrate? How do you celebrate? And who do you choose to celebrate with? In this mini-sode, I prompt you to explore your personal beliefs and sentiments toward celebrations. Honour yourself and this present moment with a guided meditation and h...

It's better to move slowly in the direction of your dreams, than to rush into misalignment. Once again, thank you to everyone who tuned into the last two mini-sodes on INNER VOICE. I'm grateful to know it resonated with so many listeners. This week's mini-sode is inspired by both the positive response from recent mini-sodes and a recent life event of mine, which prompted me to reflect on how it al...

"Listen to our own voice. Your own soul. Too many people listen to the noise of the world instead of themselves." Thank you to everyone who tuned into last week's mini-sode! I received tremendous positive feedback and had a few eye-opening conversations with friends, which inspired this segment on the importance of listening to your inner voice. Honour yourself and this present moment with a guide...

"You spend most of your life inside your head. Make it a nice place to be." Who's voice is that in your head? Is it your family's? Social media's? Or your own self? Everything we consume imprints on our minds in some way. It's important to understand how external influences and our own beliefs guide our inner monologue. This mini-sode explores different spheres of influence and how to make your mi...

"Observe what is with undivided awareness." My energy has been fluctuating a lot lately and when this happens, I tend to take a step back and observe the patterns within and around me. This helps me feel centered and know that I am never alone. In this mini-sode, I explain how I observe my own actions and the world and nature around me to gain inspiration and create the life I dream of. A greater...

In observation of Mother's Day. Every day I express gratitude for my mom and the bond we share.

Live in the flow. Learning to let go and trust in myself, a higher power and/or a greater plan was one of the greatest lessons I've had to learn. However, it's brought me the most fulfillment. I am blessed to be able to share this lesson from one of the most challenging times in my life. This mini-sode explores the importance of living in the present as a way to honour your past and prepare for yo...

"Disconnect with the world. Reconnect with yourself." When was the last time you tuned out the noise from the outside world and spent time with yourself? Our lives are filled with artificial stimulation and noise which make it extremely challenging to be present sometimes. In this mini-sode, I share three lessons I learned during the three weeks I spent without a mobile device. It's something I wo...

"Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be." Our minds can be our worst enemy or best friend, depending on how and what we feed it. Have you ever considered how every moment in a day is equal, and are differentiated only by what we choose to give importance to? With this knowing, we can control our minds and where our attention goes. This mini-sode explains why most things probably aren...

Self-expression is the purest form of connection. In a world where we are becoming more distanced from each other, let's strengthen our connection to ourselves and others through expression. My self-expression has evolved throughout my life to allow me to communicate the importance of this now. In this mini-sode, I share why self-expression is important, acknowledge the challenges of it, and five...

You are in control of your destiny, and now is the time to bloom. Truthfully, January 1, 2022 did not feel like the beginning of a new year to me (whatever a new year feels like), and I said to myself that "my new year begins on March 20th," because of the Spring Equinox. Whether you are celebrating the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere or the Fall Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere, today...

"Look for magic in the daily routine." Throughout my life, I often rejected the idea of routine. They felt too structured and unnatural to me, as I prefer to go with the flow and live intuitively. However, with increasing, diverse commitments in life, I have now welcomed routine - but not in the traditional sense. I enjoy a routine that is custom to my tastes and provides room for flexibility. In...

"When you know yourself, you are empowered. When you accept yourself, you are invincible." In every mini-sode, I say "honour yourself" or "tune into yourself" and share on how to establish and nurture a relationship with yourself - but what does this mean? In this mini-sode, I share how becoming more self-aware has changed my life, research outcomes, and practices to improve your own self-awarenes...

"In order to heal others, we first need to heal ourselves. And to heal ourselves, we need to know how to deal with ourselves." The practice of mindfulness allows us to remain connected to ourselves. There are many things which may pull us away from our true self, including people, situations, world events and our own habits and thoughts. Get into the habit of checking in with yourself to discern w...

"Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you growing." Since gyms re-opened in Ontario, Canada, I've been dedicated to working out regularly and sharing my progress, which has led a lot of people to ask me "what keeps you motivated?" I found the answer in the days I continue to show up, even when I'm not motivated - it's discipline. In this mini-sode I share how becoming mindful of my habi...

"You, above all else, deserve your own love and affection." The season of love is upon us, as Valentine's Day is celebrated tomorrow. I love love and the ways in which I have learned to love myself and express love has evolved. As a society, we've commercialized and glamorized overt and over-the-top expressions of love. All while neglecting the most important relationship - the one with our self....

"There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither." As a society, we are constantly over-working and under-resting as way to increase productivity and efficiency. At some point, everything needs a reset - including you. In the same way you would incorporate a rest day into your workout schedule, let's explore why it's important to rest and how it can be incorporat...
