In this episode, we'll talk about intentional pauses and listening to what's calling us in this season. We'll also chat about why it's important to find and follow our own internal rhythms and seasons, ways to honor seasons of rest and restoration (the same way we honor seasons of growth and expansion) — plus, why it's OK to be in a different season than everyone else. My hope is that this episode...

She shares one of the things that triggers her the most and how she finds her way back to love, her journey of becoming a caregiver for her mom, as well as a unique perspective on the benefit of accepting our own shadows (and how learning to accept our shadow has a much larger ripple effect). There was so much ric...

In this episode, I'll share a little bit about coming out of a more challenging month and the practice I used to circle back to enjoyment, connection, and strength.

In this episode, we have our very first guest! Lauren Abrami, my wife and all-around beautiful human, shares about when she feels the most love and the most fear within herself, how she gets on the "express lane" back to Love, what she considers the gift of anger — and why she compared me to kale when we first started dating. If there's anything you want to reflect on or share after listening to t...
