Connected In The Den

I sat with model, body equality activist, & absolute force for change, Nyome Nicholas-Williams, for a conversation that goes so much deeper than body positivity.

A gentle check in around the expectations we carry about clarity, intuition & signs from spirit... AND how those expectations can sometimes keep us from recognizing the guidance already present.  I wanted to widen the lens around what being led by our spirit guides, & our own intuitive guidance can look like.  Just a reflective episode to help us notice where rigid ideas about "readin...

Ever catch yourself wondering if you’re making it all up? Or maybe you've been feeling like your guides just kinda dipped? In this one, I'm talking about the quiet doubts that don’t always get said out loud. The second-guessing, the feeling like you hit a weird little wall, or like something in your connection with spirit & your spirit guides just isn’t landing the same.  This is a h...

Let’s talk about one of the biggest spooky myths out there: the idea that spirits get trapped here & need us to rescue them. In this episode, I share my honest perspective as a psychic medium, what I actually experience in sessions, why “stuck spirits” don’t really line up with it, & what I think is really happening when people feel like their loved ones haven’t moved on. I touch on how gr...

This episode is a really special one. I sat down with the amazing Reverend Gerlyn Henry, for a conversation that felt more like two friends opening their hearts than an “interview.”  We didn’t shy away from the hard stuff. We talked about fascism, systems of control, the terror of ICE, & the ways religion is often used in American politics to manipulate & control. We talk about facing crit...

We're living in a moment where everything feels like it's coming apart, all at once. Globally, politically, spiritually... In this episode I wanted to share some insights on hope. But not in this bypassy, naïve way. More as presence, discernment & responsibility. I wanted to talk about breakdown, rupture & that uncomfortable place between collapse & creation. This is an invit...

This is a heart to heart. Really, like all episodes. But this one is pretty raw.  I talk about what it is feeling like to live in the world right now.

In this episode, I’m talking about 3I Atlas , an interstellar object passing through our solar system that didn’t form here & won’t stay. It’s just moving through, on its own mysterious trajectory, & something about that feels super meaningful,beyond the science. This isn’t a technical breakdown or a fear-based take. It’s more a reflective, open conversation about what it feels like when s...

I'm breakin' down how a regulated system opens intuition, magnetism, & authentic connection. Connect with me through the links below and let me know what topics you would like to k...

This episode is a short & timely reminder about trusting the way Spirit delivers guidance. We don’t & shouldn't rush Spirit, or our own life's unfolding.

Love & Light Ain’t Liberation. In this episode, we’re unpacking the phrase “love & light”. Why it’s not the whole story when it comes to healing, justice, or liberation. We’re talking about the ways spiritual bypassing shows up, especially in wellness spaces that claim to be “high vibe,” but end up erasing pain, privilege, & power dynamics. I'm getting into how real love isn’t alw...

I freaking love to see the rise in spiritual language, leaders, & communities happening, BUT not all of it is rooted in integrity.  In this episode, I wanted to share some red flags that can show up in healing spaces, beyond spiritual & cultural appropriation.
