Today’s episode is all about awareness and emotions. Throughout my life, I’ve often seen my emotions as a kind of puzzle for me to attach words to and figure out. I’m now learning to observe my emotions more and not feel obligated to explain them or judge them all the time. I grew up hearing and receiving ideas about what life is “supposed to” be. And as I learn to listen to myself and trust my in...

Today’s episode is about my growth and development as a sexual being. Throughout my life I have experienced many forms of sexual shame, pleasure, uncomfortability, uncertainty, and expectations. The ways I have approached sex and relationships have been informed by these experiences, and I am now starting to unpack these experiences and identify how they have shaped my understanding of myself. I k...

Being aware of what you do and how you think is a lot harder than it seems. Today, I talk about how questioning some of the foundational assumptions that I used to live my life based on, has led me to a deeper understanding of who I truly am and what I want and need to thrive and be happy in this world. Also, I want to sincerely thank you for listening and trusting my voice to be with your ears fo...

2021* This week we talk about 2021 so far, my road trip and it’s Genesis, the ways I think too much and, oh yeah and I only mentioned the first of the Four Agreements: 1. Be impeccable with your word. 2. Don’t take anything personally. 3. Don’t make assumptions. 4. Always do your best. I’m super excited to be putting out the podcast each week moving forward and I would love to hear some feedback a...

Abby Shey and I went to high school together back in the day in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and we both find ourselves back in our hometown during this unprecedented time. We have had a distant social media friendship since high school, but honestly, now we're closer than we ever were back in our teen years! She's a true gem.  Today we talk about our time teaching English abroad, our frustration with...

David is an actor, a human being, and an absolute delight to converse with. Today we talk about authenticity, waking up to the reality of reality, the downfalls of capitalism, and our experience with educational institutions.  Critiquing capitalism is kinda becoming a theme of the podcast these days, and I imagine it will continue to be because capitalism fucking sucks. Anywayyyyy enjoy this...

Sam Langfritz is one of my best friends in the world and a truly down to earth guy.

Shane Whitney is my cousin and a filmmaker and a young lad and an all-around fun guy to be around. We talk about the power of making choices and how we navigate the world on our search to find the path that feels right for us. And like a bunch of other stuff. Please excuse the audio quality on this one, but it's such a quality conversation I couldn't leave it out.  You can find Shane on IG @w...

Solocast. I have resistance to recording this. That shows me that this is important. I must wield the power of choice in the places where I feel the most friction. Sharing my perspective and my voice with others feels amazing to do, but I get ‘stage fright’ mixed with procrastination habits and days go by without stepping up to the plate for some good ole fashioned VULNERABILITY :) . So, Hello, de...
