The Magic of Travel 28.09.2023

In today's episode, I talk about the magical time before a trip when there is excitement in the air. I'm packing all my cute outfits... even though I practically live in my yoga pants at home. I'm convinced that travel pushes us to be better, cuter versions of ourselves. Travel changes us, and even the act of preparing for travel is special because we know we're not going to come back as the same...

All Is Coming 21.09.2023

A lot can change in a short amount of time, and that has certainly been my experience this past week. They say when it rains it pours, and this week it has been pouring... but in the best way!

Continuing the Conversation: Internalized Capitalism and Self-Worth 24.08.2023

Exploring Internalized Capitalism and Self-Worth 17.08.2023

In today's episode, I open with a short meditation and then I dive right into exploring the idea of internalized capitalism and how it relates to worthiness. When we internalize capitalism, our self-worth is connected to what we do and what we produce and not who we are at the core of our being. Have you ever felt guilty for resting? Have you ever prioritized work over well-being? Have you ever fe...

Last week, I officially finished my UX Design course, which is very exciting!

Sometimes Netflix and Pizza Is The Best We Can Do (And That's OK) 16.03.2023

When I sat down to record today's episode, I had just gotten back from a walk. I'm reminded how something as simple as getting outside in the fresh air can change your whole mood.

My personal favorites are a hot baths, organizing my space, jou...

What Are You Longing For? Saying Yes and Watching for Signs From the Universe 02.03.2023

In this unscripted episode, I ask YOU some questions… What have you been dreaming about? What have you been longing for? What have you said yes to? What have you said no to?

Surrendering, Phases of Life & Moon Magic 09.02.2023

This episode is all about the ebb and flow of life. It's about surrendering and resting when we need to. There are weeks when we are deep in creation, and we feel called to share things with the world. Other times, we feel tired and low. Both phases are equally valuable.  I talk about the cycles of nature and in particular the moon. I've been inspired by The Moon Book . I share a bit about each ph...

In Search of Home 29.01.2023

Where is home?  That's always been a complicated question for me. I feel like I've been searching for "home" for a long time. I talk about some of the places I've lived that have and haven't felt like home. Can home be a physical place or is it more than that? I share some responses from my poll on Instagram.
