There is beauty in simplicity! We all deal with overwhelm from time to time. But guess what?! Feeling overwhelmed is a CHOICE! Let me share about my recent encounter with overwhelm, what I learned, and my plan moving forward.

"Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness, will we discover the infinite power of our light." ~ Brene Brown This time last year is when I chose to take that leap into the “darkness”. On the podcast today I’m going to give a recap of what this year has been like since choosing to leave my life long religion. It all began with episode 15. I had no idea what was about to unfold. This yea...

"Your story could be the key that unlocks someone else's prison. Don't be afraid to share it." ~ Toby Mac Last week Sean shared his story and this week I'm sharing mine.

Sean Escobar is one of the bravest men I know. He continues to amaze me with his courage and deep love for others. He is truly saving other victims and is an incredible example of how one person being brave enough to speak up can pave the way for others to do the same.

Sean speaks on how he operated as a reformed whore, how he became fanatical and critical for many years. Definition of a reformed whore: A person who once practiced a bad habit egregiously who now rails hypocritically against other people practicing the same bad habit. "What’s changed about the way I view people? I used to look at these 2 separate peoples posts on Facebook just to see how badly th...

Getting real up close and personal about the things that have kept me from fully embracing my sexuality. Years of shame and guilt caused me to suppress my true sexual nature. Only recently have I discovered an exciting and healthy way of expressing my love more fully toward Sean.

Sean and I get REALLY real in this episode. Sharing some things we never thought we'd be able to share.

As most of you know, I just published my very first book. In the process of doing this I've come to meet so many people who too would like to write a book.

It's time to take the next step, and begin writing that book that's dying to get out. Meet New York Times Best Selling...

Let’s be real, waking up before the kids is extremely difficult. But I definitely pay a price when I don't get a head start on my day. On the days I sleep in, I tend to feel scattered, overwhelmed, and a bit stressed. Lacking focus on what I need and should be doing, rendering an unproductive day. Not only that but I struggle to be present when I'm with my kids. I try so hard to give them my full...

Sean and I are realizing our past approach to parenting may be the effect of unconscious thinking. Doing what has always been done without ever really questioning WHY. Not allowing space for new ideas to emerge, new ways of viewing our children and the role we are playing in their lives. Maybe our children are here to teach US instead of the other way around. Their ability to show us things about...

The conscious mind is only the tip of the ice-burg. Below the water exists something so vast and majestic that you can't help but want to explore it. I've recently gained a new understanding and appreciation for the unconscious mind, the mind that takes over while we sleep. Have you ever wondered if your dreams have meaning? In this episode I dive a little deeper into the purpose of dreams and how...

Sadhguru said it so beautifully: "What is the purpose of life? Never ask why with creation, you just ask how. There are plenty of tools and technologies that can show you how, but if you ask why, there is no why. We can tell you stories. I can tell you a story that many of you would love to believe. If I speak about something that is not yet in your experience, you have only two choices. Either to...

About 8 months ago I experienced an intense panic attack, I talked about it in season 1 episode 18 . This experience can also be described as the “dark night of the soul”, something I now see as the turning point and most essential part of my growth. My dark night of the soul happened due my deep desire for spiritual growth. I felt stagnant, and was craving more. Although I was taught that my reli...

Judging others is a character of the ego. Anytime the ego is in charge, our souls connection becomes clouded, making it difficult to learn something new, have compassion for others, and even have the ability to be creative. The ego sees things as good and bad, the soul just SEES things without any judgement.

This is one of my favorite times of year. A time to reflect and plan for a new year. In this episode I'd like to share some of the things I hope to manifest as well as the process I use when setting goals. This is the final episode of season two, but I will be back within a few weeks to begin season three.

Since leaving organized religion I've found myself questioning the whole foundation of Christianity and what that really means to me. This time of year is causing me to really ponder the life of Christ and my new beliefs surrounding his life and purpose.

Navigating a faith transition can be extremely difficult. We've only begun this process about six months ago but have learned a great deal in the process. Sean and I will share some of the things we've experienced and what has helped us most as we transitioned out of our life long organized religion.

Six months ago I had a breakdown that led to my breakthrough, or in other words an AWAKENING! I didn't realize how closed minded and unwilling I was to learn anything new. I wanted to remain in my ignorance because it felt safe and comfortable. Come to find out, what I thought was "comfort" was actually causing me a great deal of suffering. I knew I wasn't answering the call of my soul, I was asle...
