In this episode of All The Way Alive, I dive into German New Medicine (GNM) - what it is, a bit about where it came from, and why it’s shifting how I understand symptoms, healing, and the human body. I walk you through the Five Biological Laws in simple, human language, share how this lens has supported my own journey with heart symptoms, and explore what it means to trust the body’s innate intelligence rather than fear it. This isn’t about dogma or quick fixes. It’s about curiosity, nervous system awareness, and reclaiming wonder at how brilliantly our biology is designed. Have you heard of GNM before? Does this lens resonate or challenge you?

I used to think excitement was a sign. A green light. A full-body YES. But lately, I’ve been feeling the truth land deeper in my body: What I was calling excitement… was often anxiety in disguise. A spark with no woodpile. A hit of energy I’d ride until I crashed. In this episode, I explore the pattern I know so many of us move through - especially as heart-led creators and women raised to perform: That spike of urgency, of hope, of craving - followed by the slow collapse into exhaustion, shame, or shutdown. And how we often confuse that spark for the flame. We talk about: — The somatic difference between excitement and joy — Why excitement is often a sympathetic nervous system spike (and what the dorsal crash looks and feels like afterward) — The role of false fuel in creativity, business, love, and purpose — How true turn-on lives deeper than the high — Why grief is the portal to joy, and presence is the key to sustainability — Rewiring your system to trust the steady instead of chasing the rush This isn’t about making excitement wrong. It’s about getting honest. So we can stop abandoning ourselves in the name of a spark, and start rooting into what’s real. This episode is part of the living wisdom behind my new book, All the Way Alive - a raw reclamation of what it means to walk with truth, to be with the body, and to come home to your own rhythm.

What if grief wasn’t something to fix or escape…but something to befriend? In this episode, we enter the quiet, tender landscape where grief and joy are not opposites, but companions. Drawing from the feminine mysteries, the sacred descent, and the work of Francis Weller, we explore grief as an initiatory path - one that hollows us out and makes space for more life, more love, more joy. Grief is not a detour from aliveness. It is the gateway. It is womb-space. Earth-space. Soul-space. And when we let it move through us, joy rises up, not in spite of our sorrow, but because of it. The book is out! All The Way Alive is now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. It’s a love letter to the truth inside you — messy, real, and wildly alive.

We’ve been sold a story. That one day, someone will come along and complete us. That we’ll lock eyes, feel the fireworks, and just know. That all the pain we’ve carried will finally make sense. But what if that story is keeping us stuck? What if chasing “the one” — your soulmate, your twin flame — is just another way to abandon yourself? In this episode, we dive into the myth of soulmates and why the fantasy of being “completed” by someone else can actually lead us further away from real, grounded love. This is about trauma bonds, projection, obsession disguised as destiny — and the wild, liberating truth that love is not something you find. It’s something you remember. We talk about what it means to become the love you were looking for, how to reclaim your energy, and why healing doesn’t always come in a pretty package with soulmate sparkles. This one is tender. And fiery. And freeing. The book is out! All The Way Alive is now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. It's a love letter to the truth inside you — messy, real, and wildly alive.

That voice. The one that whispers — or sometimes shouts — Who does she think she is? Sometimes it’s our own internal monologue, shaped by years of conditioning and carried from the collective unconscious. And sometimes, it’s not imagined at all — it’s real words from real people, spoken aloud or subtly implied. The fear of being too much, too visible, too alive is one many of us know intimately. In this episode, I’m sitting in the raw, tender ache of having just released my first book (All the Way Alive) into the world — and with it, the wave of self-doubt, vulnerability, and fear that comes with being truly seen. We talk about how that judgment voice — both internal and external — shows up when we dare to live fully, share our gifts, or embody our medicine. We explore why it matters so much to recognize it, not as a stop sign, but as a doorway. A holy, terrifying invitation to reclaim the parts of ourselves that were once exiled for the sake of belonging. This conversation is for the ones who’ve felt the weight of that question. For the ones who’ve chosen comfort over truth, quiet over expression, survival over self-trust. And it’s for those of us who are ready — maybe trembling, maybe roaring — to step into a new way of being. To speak. To create. To be unapologetically, audaciously alive. This is the work. And it’s why I wrote the book.

Welcome to the very first episode under our new name: All The Way Alive (formerly Soul-Aligned) — and the pulse of the book-to-come. In this episode, I explore the wild, tender invitation to let love be what it truly is — not something we give or receive, earn or contain, but something we are. We unravel the boxes we've placed around love: relationships, roles, expectations, even the words "I love you." And we dive into the ache, the longing, the remembering. The moment someone or something cracks us open… and the risk of mistaking them for the source, rather than the mirror. This is about liberating love. Letting it move through us, unboxed and untamed. About the blocks that keep it at bay, the moments that invite us to return, and what happens when we follow. This one’s raw, honest, and very alive. I’m so glad you're here.

There comes a moment in the soul’s journey when the beliefs we were handed no longer fit the life we’re here to live. In this episode, I explore the mitote - the collective dream described by Don Miguel Ruiz - and how our internalized childhood beliefs were never truly chosen, but rather absorbed to keep us safe, loved, and accepted. But what happens when we begin to choose new beliefs - ones that are truly ours, rooted in our truth, our magic, and our medicine? What happens when these liberated beliefs challenge the internal “dream of the people”? Often, it feels unsafe. Dysregulating. Unsettling to the nervous system. And that’s where many of us turn back. But what if the discomfort is actually the signpost? What if “safety” isn’t always the best guide? In this conversation, we explore the tension between nervous system regulation and soul liberation, the cost of staying small for safety, and the importance of building resilience as we choose to walk the path of free belief. This episode is a love note to the brave hearts who are choosing truth - even when it shakes the system.

What if you didn’t need to wait until everything was figured out to live in alignment with your purpose? What if the mess — the questions, the uncertainty, the heartbreak, the becoming — was the path? In this episode, I open up about the sacred permission to begin right where you are. We explore what it means to be called forward before you're ready, to say yes to a purpose that doesn't demand perfection, and to trust the deeper knowing that rises even when everything feels undone. This is a love letter to the mess — and to the beauty that lives inside it. Whether you’re in transition, seeking clarity, or simply navigating your next step, may this episode remind you that your purpose isn’t waiting at the finish line. It’s walking with you now.

What if love isn’t something we seek, but something we remember? In this episode, I share my initiation into love while in Bali, moving through portals of love and deeper remembrance. We explore the original fear of separation and the original desire to return home, the dance of forgetting and remembering, and the truth that we are not just in love—we are love itself. Through the lens of relationships, sacred union, and conscious devotion, we uncover what it means to be a clear channel of love in the world. Join me in this conversation on the nature of love, our purpose, and the beauty of being uniquely human.

Change is inevitable, but how often do we resist it? In this episode, I explore the power of embracing transition instead of pushing it away—allowing life to shape us, soften us, and expand us in ways we never expected. I dive into the archetype of The Enchantress/The Dark Feminine, a force of mystery, wisdom, and surrender, guiding us through the unknown with deep intuition and trust. This is a season of letting go, shifting, and stepping into the next version of ourselves—and I share my own tenderness around transition, including my upcoming trip to Bali and what it’s revealing to me. If you’ve been feeling the pull of change or struggling with uncertainty, this episode is an invitation to lean in, listen, and let life change you.

In this episode, I dive into the raw truth of sacred economics, unpacking the difference between heart offerings made out of love and the transactional nature of money in our modern economy. I get real about the challenges of wanting to be seen as spiritual and good, and how this often leads us to hide or mask transactions in the name of love and generosity. You’ll hear the unfiltered truth about why it’s so hard to separate the two, and how trying to fit heart offerings into the transactional box leaves us untrue to the heart. This isn’t about “being good”—it’s about being real.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Sacred Economics has rocked my world and my world view. It's an answer to a prayer. A wish for deeper understanding of how to be in right relationship. How to share more openly, more freely. And how to receive in gratitude. May this episode meet you where you are and perhaps offer a new possibility of what it means to be abundant.

This episode dives into a question that changed everything for me: What is the Universal Field asking of you? At first, I didn’t know how to answer. I realized my stuck patterns and fears were shaping my desires, so instead of forcing an answer, I chose to live in the question. The answers that come aren’t about comfort—they often ask us to let go, step into the unknown, or completely shift direction. But I didn’t come here to live comfortably; I came to feel deeply, to grow, and to be alive. This isn’t a question to solve or a goal to chase—it’s an ever-emerging energy. Staying open, listening for signs, and trusting the threads has been my way of answering. Now I offer it to you: What is the Universal Field asking of you?

It's been a while since I've recorded anything resembling a Podcast episode. Perhaps a couple of years. While I won't be picking up where I left off with The Inspiration Network Podcast, I will be continuing... May this return to the world of sharing in this way offer some perspective, care, attention to what it means to begin again and to reflect back.
