#31: In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Brianna Waller to break down how you can use astrology as a practical and empowering tool to better understand yourself — your unique gifts, patterns, purpose, relationship dynamics, and the deeper meaning behind your life experiences.
We dive into the most important parts of your birth chart to help you uncover your unique energetic blueprint — revealing your strengths, personality traits, lessons, and core themes you’ve come here to embody and evolve through.
You’ll also learn simple ways to integrate astrology into your daily life — from your relationships to your career — so you can navigate things with more clarity, compassion, and confidence in your unique journey.
Whether you’re already familiar with astrology and want a fresh lens, are curious about it but unsure where to start, or just want more practical ways to apply astrology in real life, this conversation will inspire you to use it as a tool for deeper connection, self-understanding, and empowerment.

#30: If you’re moving through a season of change or uncertainty, or struggling to follow through on what you know you’re meant to do, this episode is for you. It’s all about learning to let go, lean in, and trust what’s unfolding.
I’m sharing some personal updates and reflections after returning from a powerful retreat that cracked me wide open. I talk about what integration really means (and why it’s so important) after deep inner work — whether it’s a retreat, plant medicine journey, ceremony, or breathwork — and how to bring those insights and breakthroughs into your everyday life so they can truly change you.
I also explore a theme that’s been alive for me lately: resistance — how and why it shows up, what it’s trying to protect us from, and why leaning into what we resist most is the key to our next level of growth.
In this episode, I share:
If you’ve been feeling resistance around a decision, a next step, or even a practice you know would support you, this episode will help you understand it and move through it — opening the door to new opportunities, more alignment, presence, and peace.
Because what you resist the most is the doorway to your next expansion 💫

#26: What if success wasn’t about the milestones you hit or the boxes you check — but about how alive, fulfilled, and joyful you feel along the way? ✨
In this episode, I share the perspective shift that has completely transformed how I approach my goals, career, and everyday life.
We explore:
True success isn’t a finish line — it’s a feeling. It’s the joy you experience along the way, the aliveness you feel in your body, and the meaning you create in your everyday life.

#25: What if rejection or not being liked were actually guiding you toward the people and connections that are truly meant for you?
In this inspiring conversation, I’m joined by Laura Kistner — life coach and HypnoBreathwork facilitator — to explore the deeper layers of healing, authenticity, and vulnerability in friendships, relationships, and community.
Laura shares her journey from hitting rock bottom to reclaiming her happiness, creating belonging on her own terms, and bravely stepping into a “big life” she once thought was impossible.
We dive into the importance of taking small steps towards personal growth, navigating transitions, building aligned friendships (especially in adulthood), and the power of HypnoBreathwork to unlock the subconscious and rewire limiting beliefs.
You’ll walk away with powerful insights and practical reminders, including:
✨ How to stop seeking approval and create your own belonging
✨ Why rejection is actually redirection toward your aligned people
✨ The confronting truth about joy — and why it can repel those not ready for it
✨ What HypnoBreathwork is & how it helps you release old stories and step into your power
Whether you’ve struggled with belonging, finding community and aligned friendships, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, this episode will remind you that you are not alone — and YOU hold the power to create small, yet meaningful shifts toward your dream life.

#22: What does it really mean to walk the feminine path — to live, love, and lead from your heart and intuition?
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Rachel Gibler — somatics and business coach, women’s retreat facilitator, former host of It’s F*cking Spiritual, and now wife and soon-to-be mama — to explore her journey from maiden to mother, embodying her queen energy, and creating a relationship rooted in depth, truth, and love.

#21: In this episode, I share what it really feels like to hold the full spectrum — fear, doubt, trust, and surrender — to live in the messy middle, the in-between, and the ups and downs of expansion.
I’ve been navigating a lot of transitions lately, and what keeps coming up for me are two themes that I know so many of us hold close: money and love. Both are deeply tied to self-worth, and both are inviting me into another layer of trust and surrender.
I share about:
This is an honest, behind-the-scenes look into my process right now. My hope is that if you’re in your own messy middle — feeling all the feels simultaneously — you’ll feel less alone and remember that it’s all part of the cycle of expansion.
At the end of the day, the through-line is this: we get to hold it all. The trust and the doubt, the fear and the joy, the grief and the love.
Somatic practices give us the capacity to do that — to feel fully, to come back to presence, and to choose again and again the path that’s aligned.
Thank you for being here with me in it all ❤️

#20: We all know the feeling of being stuck when faced with a decision — whether it’s something small like how to respond to a text, or something big like changing jobs, ending a relationship, or starting a new project.
When indecision takes over, we tend to overthink, make endless pros and cons lists, or ask everyone around us for advice. But the truth is: real clarity doesn’t come from your mind — it comes from your body and your intuition.
✨ In this episode, I’ll guide you through a simple somatic practice to drop out of your head and into your body, so you can connect with your inner wisdom and find clarity. This is a practice you can return to anytime you’re feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed by choices.

#18: What if your symptoms aren’t random, but intelligent messages from your body?
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Laura Petkunaite — Quantum Wellness Scientist, founder of the Whole You Institute, and a pioneer in multidimensional wellness education — to explore the fascinating world of frequency medicine and how true healing happens when we learn to speak the language of our body: energy 🧬
Laura shares how she works with chronic symptoms by reading electromagnetic patterns in the body, creating custom frequency remedies, and helping clients decode deeper mental, emotional, and even ancestral imprints stored in the organs.
We unpack what it really means to heal from a holistic, whole-body perspective — physical, emotional, mental, supramental, and spiritual.
Whether you’re curious about holistic healing, feel like you’ve “tried everything,” or are navigating chronic symptoms, this episode is here to remind you: your body is wise, and there is always a way back to your wholeness.
🎧 In this episode, we explore:
✨ Quotes we loved:

#17: Have you been doing all the things — vision boards, journaling, affirmations — and your desires still feel just out of reach?
In this episode, we explore the missing piece to manifestation most people skip: your body and your nervous system.

Whether you're calling in love, money, aligned opportunities, purpose, or joy — this is the practice that changes everything. And right now, during the Lion’s Gate Portal (peaking 8/8), you’re in the most powerful time of the year to realign with your desires and magnetize your vision into reality.
You'll learn:
Get ready to manifest from an embodied place — and attract love, abundance, and magic with ease, clarity, and alignment. 💫

#16: What does it really mean to live in alignment with your truth?
In this deep and honest episode, I’m joined by the beautiful Allie Schlener — spiritual and intuitive life coach, yoga teacher, energy healer, astrologer, and my personal mentor and Reiki Master. We explore what it means to live in alignment, find your purpose, become your own healer, and walk a spiritual path with integrity.
We talk about what spirituality means and looks like for us — and where we feel New Age spiritually sometimes misses the point. We dive into the importance of rooting your practices in presence, the permission to evolve, and why your purpose can’t be confined to one specific thing.
Allie also shares her powerful perspective on the intersection of spirituality and social justice, and why the two can't be separated.
We dive into:
✨ How to find your personal entry point to presence
✨ Navigating healing seasons and difficult times — and honoring what you really need
✨ The difference between performative spirituality vs. embodied service
✨ Building a spiritual business rooted in integrity and impact
✨ Choosing the right mentor on your path

#15: When you’re in your joy, the real magic happens. That’s when life flows. That’s when you manifest. That’s when you become magnetic to everything you desire.
But the truth is, we often block our own joy without even realizing it.
In this episode, we’re diving into the sneaky, subtle ways we sabotage our joy — even in the name of healing, productivity, or self-improvement — and how to reclaim your innate sense of joy, aliveness, and radiance right now!
We’ll explore:
✨ Why joy is essential, not optional — and how it fuels manifestation
✨ How the “healing trap” keeps you stuck in fixing mode (and blocks pleasure)
✨ The permission structures you’ve unconsciously created around joy
✨ How to stop postponing fun until you’ve “earned it”
Plus, I’ll guide you through some practical, powerful ways to start bringing more joy, fun, and flow into your life right now — even if you’re busy, overwhelmed, or in a tough season.
Because joy is not a reward for getting it all right — it’s the fuel for your most radiant life!
