This is a special segment geared toward modern families. This applies to everyone - whether you are a parent or not. The way we show up for our families matter. Listen in for 7 practical ways to incorporate faith into your day to live with greater meaning and purpose.
Be the Example
Transformation begins when we develop our spiritual mind—the part of us aligned with divine ideas like love, order, wisdom, and peace.
When we live from that place—even imperfectly—we offer our children a living example of what faith looks like in real life.
You don’t need to have all the answers.You just need to be anchored, authentic, and available.
They can sense that. And your willingness to be real helps them be real too.
Listen in and Let your light lead—and those around you will shine too!

Return to Source: Let Life Flow
You were created with light, love, and purpose woven into your being. And when life feels overwhelming, the way back is simple: reconnect with your Source.
This guided meditation leads you back to that sacred connection—the divine love that made you and holds you still. From this space, you remember your true nature. You remember you are already good, already whole, already enough.
When you live from your connection to Source, your actions, your choices, and your life flow from a deeper well of goodness and love.
✨ Take a few quiet moments to reconnect, remember who you are, and walk forward rooted in your divine truth.

Embrace Every Part of You: A Journey Through Internal Family Systems
Inside each of us live many "parts" — parts that protect, parts that carry wounds, and parts that long to be seen and loved. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), we learn that every part of us is welcome. Every part has a reason for being.
This meditation gently guides you to meet your inner parts with compassion, curiosity, and love.
This is a practice that provides a pathway to embrace all of your parts, knowing wholeness is ALL of you.
No part of you needs to be pushed away.
No part needs to be judged or hidden.
Each part has a story—and when we listen, we heal.
✨ Join me in this heart-centered journey to honor all that you are. Healing begins with embracing yourself, exactly as you are.

Let Go of Worry: Find Your Way Back to Ease and Peace
Worry can feel heavy — like carrying a weight that dims your light and clouds your path. But what if you could release it? What if you could step into a space of ease, trust, and peace?
This guided meditation is a gentle invitation to set your worries down. You’ll be guided to breathe, soften, and allow yourself to move beyond the chatter of fear into the calm, steady ground of your inner peace.
You were made for more than worry. Let it be ease. Notice and return to awareness, to truth, to the light.
You were made for trust, for ease, for flowing with life instead of fighting against it.
✨ Take a few moments today to reconnect with your natural state of peace. Release what no longer serves you and remember: allow for ease.

This guided meditation is an invitation to practice the presence—to take time in the stillness, to come back to the moment, and to reconnect with what truly matters. Because in the present, we flow. We connect. We create space for more love and light to shine through us and into our relationships.
The way we show up in our relationships—at home, at work, and within ourselves—is some of our most important work. When we’re stuck in our heads, we risk disconnecting from the heart center, where compassion, understanding, and love reside.
But presence brings us back.
It gives us the pause we need to choose love—moment by moment.
When we practice being present, we open the door to deeper connection, more meaningful relationships, and a greater sense of peace in everyday life.
Join me in this meditation to slow down, breathe, and return to your heart.
Your presence is the greatest gift you can offer—to yourself and to others.
✨The light in me honors the light in you.✨

Connect to Your Essence: A Guided Meditation to Center, Trust, and Flow
Did you know that When the mind is lifted up in meditation and prayer the whole body glows with spiritual light?
Allow this guided meditation to help you pause, center within, be in your truth and shine!
Taking time in the stillness helps you return to your essence—that sacred space where your true self resides. From here, you connect not only to yourself but to something greater: divine right order, the natural flow of life unfolding exactly as it should.
When you connect from your essence, something beautiful happens. You begin to trust. You allow what’s coming up in your life to simply be, without resistance. You recognize the challenges as part of your growth, and you soften into your truth and shine.
Your divine self is where your strength lives. It's a space of peace, ease, and deep power—the kind that allows you to love more fully, connect more deeply, and show up as your best self.
✨ This meditation is here to help you tap into that power, flow with what is, and embrace each moment as sacred - and shine as you were created to!
Take a few moments today to listen in. Your essence is always here, waiting for you to return.
✨ The light in me honors the light in you. ✨

Awareness Meditation: Reset and Be You – Your Highest and Best
When was the last time you simply paused?
In the busyness of life, it’s easy to lose touch with ourselves — with our presence, our truth, our light. This guided meditation, Awareness Meditation – Reset and Be You, is an invitation to come back home to yourself.
By practicing presence, you begin to notice what’s happening in your life, rather than just going through the motions. You start to see that each challenge, each moment, is happening for you — an opportunity for growth and for deeper alignment with who you truly are.
Your highest and best isn’t about perfection — it’s about being fully you. When you live from this space of awareness, you show up more powerfully in your relationships, your purpose, and your everyday moments.
Take a few minutes to listen in, recenter, and reconnect with your light.
✨ The light in me honors the light in you. ✨

116. Creating time for the Sacred
The quality of our life is in the quality of the moments.
This season of Advent helps us prepare for Christmas, the birth of Jesus and the rebirth of that light and love awakened in us.
Creating time to awaken and strengthen your spirit helps you bring forth the divine attributes that are within you strengthening you. These attributes are Faith, Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. Within all of us, we just have to tap in and step forth.
Being in the sacred, the stillness, whatever it is for you that helps you feel full and whole, make time for it. So you can be your whole, loving self as you were created.
If you bring everything into everything we enjoy nothing. Be responsible for the energy you bring.
What is Sacred for you?
Sacred can be a treasure, a warmth, a mystery, a light, and a profound refuge, and awareness to the presence of spirit.
Sacred is a special word.
What in your life is sacred?
What is sacred that I have lost sight of?
It's up to you to raise your consciousness and be your best so you bring forth the dreams you have in your heart.
"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman
115. Manifesting Strength for your day or your next big thing
We are all here for our soul's growth, unfoldment and expansion. We're all on different journeys but one thing is true for all of us. We are meant to be growing. That is what life is. We see this growth in nature. Life is every changing, evolving, and growing.
Listen in to this meditation to grow your strength and shift your perspective from fear to excitement. These two strong and powerful feelings actually share the same physiological reaction: the adrenaline that courses through the body when a person is scared is the same as when they are excited. The difference is not how the body reacts, but how the mind interprets the experience.
Learn some tools to respond differently to that feeling so you can do what is yours to do and feel that greater fulfillment that comes from leaning in, choosing courage over comfort.
Singer and songwriter David Bowie on how to produce your best work:
"If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting."
Get Unstuck and Find Clarity to Take your Next Right Step.
Not sure of your right next step or lacking the courage to take a step forward into what you want and desire to create greater joy, fulfillment, challenge, or success. This life recipe and guided meditation is for you.
Listen in to move forward. Everything starts with one step As the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said; “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. He wasn't wrong, because you won't get anywhere unless you start the journey.
Follow these 5 steps and know your guided, supported, and right where you need to be.
“I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.” - Frederick Douglass
Guided Meditation to Allow, Open, and Energize.
Listen in and feel supported and at ease tune into the natural rhythm of love, of presence.
The power of meditation is being aware of being aware. As we mindfully notice our thoughts, we become present. This allows our body and mind to calm. Just by becoming aware of what we are thinking, what we are feeling in the moment. It is from this awareness, we can return to the love, light, within. This simple awareness practice helps us return to heart, to love. This is how we show up as our higher self, with love. That higher energy that helps us be our best.
As you practice the presence, you can bring it into your day, so you return to love, to peace when challenges arise, you can be at ease.

Life Recipes are practical methods to help you live with greater intention, be in truth, and love this one and precious life. We all need little reminders, techniques, and methods to be better. It's natural for us as humans to do what is easy instead of what is right and good. But that is no way to live... if we want to feel better when we rest our heads at night, we have to do the work. One step at a time.
Listen in to this life recipe to start a gratitude practice and stick to it. We all know it leads to more meaningful living to stay in appreciation and gratitude, but we don't always do it. Sometimes it feels easier to stay in the story of victim, of why me, of woe is me. Listen in to choose differently, to stay on the path of appreciating instead of finding fault, judging, or wallowing. It's a choice we can all make and this life recipe helps us stay on the side of appreciation for more moments of our day - as we do our heart opens and feel deeper joy, love, and meaning - and attract more good into our lives. Give it a try!

As we lay our heads down at night, we have to answer the question, how was my day, am I happy with who I am? Imagine ending the day feeling like you did what was yours to do, you were your best, and treated others as best you could.
It's just us and we get to reflect and find peace within. Allow this meditation to guide you into reflecting on the good parts of your day so you can be at ease, rest, and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

In this series, we look at ancient texts that provide guidance and add purpose to life today.
We look at moving forward from Faith over Fear. When we are in a place of fearfulness, we aren't able to tap into the powers within that give us the strength to do what is ours to do.
Being in Fear is not how we were made to be. Faith helps us move forward even when things don't seem to showing up in your favor, you are experiencing hardship and struggle. Faith keeps us moving. The struggles are a part of human experience.
Listen in for practical method for overcoming hard things and taking what you experienced to become better, brighter, and be who you were made to be.

Justice means loving our neighbor as we love ourselves and is rooted in the character and nature of God. We don't always think of justice in this way. It often takes a political or social justice stance, which is all good. But when we look at the core of the word, it means being in integrity.
Life recipes look at different ancient texts to uncover truth and find practical methods to apply day to day to live with more meaning, love, and joy - all the good stuff!
