Figuring Sh!t Out

Today, I sit down with one of the most inspiring and grounded women I've had the chance to speak to - the type of woman every coming-of-age gal needs in their life: soul-connected, supportive, and resilient in mind, body, and spirit. Today, (in honor of Mother's Day), we welcome Stacey Garcia - Integrative Health Coach, podcast host, mom, and breast cancer survivor. Stacey shares her power...

There is no greater force more powerful than the quiet, silent, nearly imperceptible whisper of your gut. This knowing, this sensation, this whisper - it urges you subtly and softly with the faint voice of: "yes." "no." "this way" "that way" "do this thing" "don't do that thing," and the more adept we are at listening to it - The easier our align...

Our bodies - they live for us.  And they allow us to live.  They give us the ability to sift through this life experience with the breath of both joy and fear, the expression of both laughter and pain. In them, we celebrate.  In them, we ache.  And yet in them, we often do everything we can:  To escape them.  We meet ourselves in the mirror, avoid our eyes, and dart to the pieces of our beings tha...

This episode is a love-letter to aliveness, and gives you sacred permission to be soft, silly, and slow. It asks:  What if today, you let yourself believe it was all magic?  What if joy wasn't something to earn — but something to practice?  This is your invitation to reject the homogenization of happiness, to romance the ordinary by becoming alive to our senses, and to let bliss be your rebell...

Trauma is not what happens to us - it is what happens inside of us as a result of what happens to us. Which is why healing comes from the inside out -- through modalities that often get us out of the thinking mind and into the body. We've all heard it: The Body Keeps the Score. But what does that mean? In this episode, I sit down with Dana Carretta-Stein — a certified EMDR therapist and trauma...

In this episode, I talk about the dreaded yet silent fear many of us have: being seen and perceived. Reflecting on two years of sharing my heart & soul with the world, I outline the five most important things you need to know in beginning to listen to what your heart calls you to. We discuss the identify shifts that happen when you start showing up authentically and what I’ve learned about liv...

Surrender is soft, sweet, – and so quiet, you’d almost miss it. And I think that is why we do.  What is your relationship with the need to know?  What is your dialogue with desire?  What gnaws at the insides of your brain and creates compulsions of “must do’s” and “have to”?  What lie led you to believe that those traits serve you more than they hurt you?  Herein lies the entrypoint to your darkes...

EFT tapping: an incredible, simple way to reprogram your subconscious and clear channels of fear.

Today, I’m sitting down with Brad Yates , better known as Tap with Brad , who teaches tapping to an audience of 300,000 subscribers. With over 50 million views across his videos, Brad's gui...

Time is an illusion, yet a powerful tool. It is the quickest way to magic or stagnancy, depending on how we use it. This episode explores how we use our time through the portal of words, thoughts, and actions to create the life we want or perpetuate the life we don't. It explores how we can embrace timing, reframe and shift our perspective of time, and unlock possibilities through our beliefs....

Allow this episode to inspire a shift in your energy.  Allow it to remind you that life is meant to be lived. That joy is a choice. That ease is only as simple as we make it. That thinking about your feelings or journaling about them is not the same as feeling them. That the tools for change in any moment are inside of the gift of your presence.  This episode is for my fellow thought daughters, th...

Today, I turn 25. And on the quarter of a century anniversary of being brought into this world, I realize that to look at aging as a gift or a grievance defines the course and direction of most of our lives. It is a choice made every single day - in how we decide to live, breathe, and be. This episode is about growing up. And also, deciding that we don't have to let that mean anything more tha...

True transformation happens when the discomfort of staying the same becomes more unbearable than the discomfort of change.  And change? Transformation? Getting all you dream about? Having the courage TO dream at all?  It's not all rainbows. It is certainly uncomfortable. But it is at once ---- Expansive. Heart-opening. Boundless. Miraculous.  Remember: life is duality. You cannot have the expa...

You accept the love you believe you deserve. And if you know that you deserve more than you've gotten in romantic relationships but you haven't been able to receive it — this episode is for you.  If you've been around the block getting your heart broken or fearing to let it be loved or found yourself in a thousand different ruts dating people who just don't feel right for you — thi...

"I love you where you are and I love you where you're going," This is a mantra I have been using in my life for the last few weeks - one I have shared with all of you on this show, and one that defines what this episode is truly about.  A few episodes ago, you asked for a template to my personal tracking techniques - ones that have held me accountable and have allowed me to take this T...

You are exactly where you need to be to create something only you can create. And the call is not coming from the phone you spend your life connected to – the call is coming from inside the house. It’s coming from inside of you. It's subtle - and you must be open to listen to it. But our entire society has been structured to keep you disconnected from it.  We live in an age of over-consumption...

The only thing that guarantees our failure in any endeavor is if we give up.  Yet, we flirt with our own uncertainty and imposter syndrome more than we embrace our dreams and goals, talking ourselves out of what we want and what it takes to get there instead of talking ourselves into action.  We ask: "Is this worth it? Am I doing the right thing? Spending my time in the right places?"  We...

Awaken curiosity where it is confined in your life, allow creation to occur through the expression of your soul, and enable the radical act of romanticization to transform you - because what a tragedy it would be, if you got everything you ever wanted in your life, but you forgot to have fun.

“Greet the piece of you that is longing to unravel. Hold it. Move the furniture out of the way so that it can collapse onto the floor like a puddle.  Let it simmer in the space between your breath and let yourself taste the salt from the tears you may have never gotten to cry.  Fold into your bones.  Allow the whispers of what’s left to come through you.  Don’t rush to rebury that hatchet.  Learn...

Slowly but surely: that is the motto for the beginnings of a new year.  At a time where the world tells us that it’s the time to be brand new - while all we yearn for is stillness, how do we find reconciliation between setting intentions + and moving with the slow beat our body may crave during the winter-time?  This episode is another breath away from all of the noise around needing to be someone...

May you give yourself the gift of slowing down. May you allow yourself to start over whenever you need, whenever you please, and not when the world tells you that it's time. May you gift yourself the purity of rest and the peace of pause. May you allow this year to leave you and the new one to form with grace, ease, and patience. May you embrace that nothing may feel different, yet everything...

For when you're tired of finding yourself in the SAME situations over & over again. For when you know you deserve more, but aren't getting it. For when you know you deserve more, but are standing in the WAY of you getting it. For the ones who are always self-sabotaging. For the ones who react and then hate that they react. For the ones who hold their tongue until they burst. For the on...

This episode is for anyone considering changing their life-path: leaving a job, moving cities or countries, changing who they surround themselves with, starting a business, leaving a relationship - ending a chapter & beginning a new one. For anyone who finds themselves teetering at the edge of a cliff - knowing that they want to take a leap, knowing they feel called to close a door to open a n...

We hear it in the wellness space all the time: “Trauma is stored in the body,” but what does this actually mean? And what are the different modalities to heal it?  In this episode, I sit down with an inspiring & intuitive-led expert on this topic to cover:  How emotional pain gets stuck & stored in the body & why it’s so hard to unlearn bad habits + toxic patterns (AKA: why is it so mu...

As the holiday season rolls around, many of us who are on a journey of healing are visited by triggers, past pain, and heavy emotions.  The first visitor in our internal world is usually Anger. It is best friends with Pride & usually sounds like:  “Why is is this way? Why did that have to happen? Why couldn’t you have…” + It is often paired with actions towards others that are uninhibited from...

This week, I broke my arm. Yes, I recorded this podcast episode with broken arm. And edited it. And I am typing this now with one hand. You get the point. I felt it necessary to interrupt the regularly scheduled programming of the Road Less Traveled to talk about what to do when there are the inevitable bumps in the road.  How do we respond?  How do we not spiral?  How do we.. reverse a spiral (if...
