Annd we’re back after a two-episode break due to a sore throat and lingering cough. Something I did not want to put myself or you through as a listener. :)  It’s no secret that we are in the midst of big changes. The energy feels different. We are waking up more and more to truths and untruths. We are remembering. All of which inherently brings a great deal of chaos. Our relationship to chaos, and...

In this episode, I address the extremely potent and transformative energy of these eclipses. This portal of change that is bringing many of us face-to-face with our deepest and darkest wounds. A process that we can also see being played out in humanity on the world stage. How do we navigate these times of change? Why do we hold so tightly to familiar suffering? And what can we do when the big scar...

Where do we go, and what do we do, when the world feels chaotic? When we feel full and energetically overwhelmed with life? When we are tired and tired of being tired? When we feel helpless and hopeless? The heart. We go to the heart. We give ourselves the space to land and connect with this place. We put our connection with our hearts as the priority above all else. I hope this episode reminds yo...

In this episode, I explore the relationship between anxiety and stagnation, why it might be the case that so many of us are experiencing it, and what we can do to ease the tension of it, and create a little more flow and movement. Being anxious while also feeling stagnant, can be one of the most frustrating and crazy-making experiences. It can feel as if the train's engine is running on high...

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the well of sadness and hopefully taking away some of the stigma and resistance to what is a very natural, and needed, part of being human. It’s normal to feel sad. If sadness comes, there is a reason for it, and we can trust that reason. When our body and soul speak to us through things like sadness and depression, it is our job to listen. It is our job to...

What is your true vision? What is the call of your heart? And can you differentiate the call of truth from the call of the ego? When life seems to bring a lot onto our plate to get cleared at once, it can feel as if we are getting hit by wave after wave. As if we are in the washing machine of life and the “extended spin cycle” button has just been pushed. Sometimes we need the waves, or the extra...

This episode is an invitation to pause. To not pressure ourselves to jump right into the transition into fall, but instead allow ourselves the space to ground down and tune in. To anchor into our deep internal truth before taking any sort of action or expecting anything to happen in our lives. At this time there is a lot of room to dream a beautiful dream, there is a lot of room for big bold visio...

This episode is part 3 of a 3-part mini-series running for the rest of August all on the descension cycle home.  In this episode, we’re diving into phase 5 of the 7 phases of descension. The one that comes right after The Threshold, before the Harvest. The Creation and Expansion phase of the descension cycle is where we start to feel things moving again. We are done gestating and it is time to eng...

This episode is part 2 of a 3-part mini-series running for the rest of August all on the descension cycle home.  In this episode, we’re diving into phase 4 of the 7 phases of descension. The one that comes right after the space between, before creation and expansion. The threshold is like being in the birth canal. It’s where we are ready to emerge from the soft and nourishing space between and int...

This episode is part 1 of a 3-part mini-series running for the rest of August all on The Descension Cycle. We’ll be diving deeper into the 3 phases of the descension cycle where I noticed (and from my own experience) we need the most support. The first one we’re looking at is the Space Between. The one that comes right after the Dark Night, before the Threshold, and is the third of the seven phase...

The creative void holds so much for us. It is the doorway to the source of life itself. So why do we have such a hard time sitting within it? What is it that has us bracing at its edges or avoiding it entirely? Even when we know, and can sense, that it is the very thing that holds the answers we seek and is the map to the flow-state we crave. In this episode, we dive into the creative void. Why it...

If you find yourself standing at the door of your true calling and are having a hard time opening it, let alone walking through it, then this episode is for you. In this episode, we welcome Xavier Dagba, a trauma-informed transformational life coach and shadow work facilitator. True to his calling as an emotional alchemist, his words seem to always strike exactly the right chord at exactly the rig...

What does your ego want you to create vs what does your heart want you to create? And do you feel safe enough to create it? Last week was my 35th birthday and I took some time off to sit quietly and listen. One of the things that came through was how the expectations and dreams of my ego still had a hold on certain areas of my life. It’s amazing how things can hide in plain sight. So today I’m div...

Have you ever had the experience where you’re trying intensely to figure something out, but the more you focus on it, the more you try to figure it out, the more difficult it becomes? My sense is that this is a regular occurrence for most of us humans. It definitely is for me. In this episode, we dive into the difference between figuring it out and observing. And how the best place to be when we f...

Why is letting go so hard? Why is it that we can know we need to let go, we can know what isn’t right for us, yet we still cling so tightly to it? Choosing the comfort of familiarity over the great big question mark. The wild unknown. Even though what is familiar might also be the very thing draining us of our life force. Feeling like we’re not able to let go is a completely normal human thing to...

What would it feel like if you applied a blanket of gentleness over your life? Sometimes we don’t realize just how much pressure and weight we are placing on ourselves. Pressure and expectation that grows heavier and heavier over time. Causing us to close off to the natural flow of life at the precise moment we need it most. Instead of bearing down and becoming hyper-focused on our lives, what wou...

There is a part about trusting our intuition that isn’t talked about much. It’s the part that comes right after we listen to our deep inner knowing and follow through with action (however big or small). It is the part where it feels as if we’re standing out on a limb. We’ve listened and taken action, and now we must sit in a space of blind trust. Was this the right choice? What if it doesn’t work...

Key Topics: healing, receiving, self-sabotage, feminine energy, masculine energy, nervous system, self-love, self-worth, awakening, spirituality, surrendering, letting go, trust. There is the part of the journey a lot of us don’t expect. We dream and plan and work toward our desires, but when the time comes, and they are knocking on our door, will we believe ourselves to be safe enough, and worthy...

Do you ever feel like you’re thinking about living more than you’re actually living? I feel like this all the time. However, the urge to stop thinking so much about life, and just let go and live it grows more and more each day. In this episode, I dive into living in the mind vs. actually living life. Moving through space and time in this physical reality vs. thinking about it. Or more so, overthi...

Key Topics: self-expression, creative work, purpose, change, fear, trusting the process, self-awareness, self-trust, healing, awakening, expansion. One of the things I’ve heard many people say again and again, is that just staying the course, whether it be in our creative work or our relationships, or anything that challenges us to grow, is the key to their success. There are certain learnings and...

What would we long for if we could slow down long enough to actually listen to the steady and gentle call of our heart’s deepest truth? We are entering an era of deep longing. The more we wake up to the way the systems of the world are more designed for the harvesting of our souls, rather than the nourishment of them, the more we will long for what actually feeds us. If we don’t learn how to be wi...

The Descension Cycle (Beta)  When is it time to act and when is it time to be still? This episode centers around taking action into our fear and how to know when it’s time to lean in, and when it’s best to remain steady in our stillness. It can take us a long time to be ready to act. Maybe months, maybe years. Maybe we don’t have the energy, maybe we haven’t learned the lessons, or maybe it just i...

“When our eyes are graced with wonder, the world reveals its wonders to us. There are people who see only dullness in the world and that is because their eyes have already been dulled. So much depends on how we look at things. The quality of our looking determines what we come to see.” ― John O'Donohue Is it time to wipe away the dullness and see through the eyes of wonder? What would a beaut...
