The first story in my special series on this podcast, where I'll share pieces of my creative writing from over the years. Fictional short stories, poetry, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative writing process. This story is called Inky Earthling Daydream, an empathetic musing on the elements and how they feel in their mutable existence. A magical little fable exploring water, earth, air, and fire. For the references I discuss at the end on the consciousness of water, I recomme...

Maybe the antidote to our anxiety isn’t just another deep breathing exercise, but pretending anxiety is a strange little goblin who has to dance to bestow any panic or dread upon you… Stay with me. This week, we’re bringing back childlike wonder. In this episode, I’m exploring the surprisingly powerful world of playful mindset tricks. You know, the dorky, completely ridiculous strategies that dissolve self-doubt and help us stop avoiding the stuff we need to do or say. I talk about treating y...
An updated perspective on the heels of my previous episode on Internal Family Systems (IFS), which I hope serves as a cautionary tale. This is an intensive form of therapy that can tackle some very deeply rooted trauma, and I naively opened Pandora's box with it this past week. But, we live and learn!

I dive into my journey with romanticizing the dark and how the concept of non-duality has influenced my perspective over the past decade. These themes have shaped how I see love, creativity, and mea...
