The Masculine Energy You Actually Need to Uplevel (And It’s Not Hustle)
Send me a text message! There’s a certain masculine energy no one talks about- the kind that lets you gracefully hold the uplevels and manifestations you’ve been calling in. This isn’t hustle or grind. It’s the grounded, anchored energy that keeps your nervous system steady when things start expanding. Without it, every new level can feel like chaos or self-sabotage waiting to happen. In this episode, I’m sharing: The truth about healthy masculine energy vs. hustle energyWhy this grounded ma...

Fear, Failure, and the Freedom of Getting Knocked Down

You’ll learn how to stop letting fear paralyze you, see setbacks as proof you’re in the arena, and find the freedom that comes from getting knocked down.

Getting Comfortable with Debt and Anger
Send me a text message! Two of the biggest “dirty words” for women? Anger and Debt. But here’s the thing : they’re not always bad. In fact, they can be powerful. In this episode, I share why anger can actually be more sacred (and useful) than depression, and how debt (when it’s tied to investing in your business or self-growth) can be a tool for expansion instead of shame. This conversation is your reminder that: Anger can be fuel, not a flaw“Good debt” can open doors instead of closing them...

The Truth About SEO in the AI Era: How to Show Up in Google, Bing, and ChatGPT
Send me a text message! Tired of hearing that “SEO is dead”? Yeah, me too. The truth is, it’s not dead—it’s just getting a fresh coat of snake-oil marketing from fly-by-night companies trying to scare you into buying “AI SEO packages.” In this episode, I break down what actually matters if you want your content to show up in traditional search engines like Google and Bing and in newer AI-driven queries (think ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI overviews).

For the Mom on the Struggle Bus
Send me a text message! If you’ve been in a messy mom season—no meditation, no journaling, no morning ritual to speak of—this episode is your big, exhale-worthy permission slip. Right now, I’m deep in the thick of summer break. My spiritual practices have taken a back seat, and for the first time in years, I’m not biohacking, tuning my chakras, or doing any of the usual “high-vibe” stuff. But strangely…I still feel connected. I still feel God—in the simple moments. In the fresh air, the morn...

When It Wants to Die—Let It.
Send me a text message! What if the thing you’re clinging to isn’t meant to be saved? In this episode, I’m talking about the sacred (and scary) art of letting go—whether it's a version of yourself, a business model, a routine, or a role that no longer fits. Sometimes we think we’re “failing,” but really… we’re just being asked to evolve. From creative burnout to identity deaths, this is your permission slip to stop trying to revive what your soul has already outgrown. **All my fellow m...

When Donuts, Netflix & Wine Became My Manifestation Portal
Send me a text message! What if your next breakthrough isn’t hiding in your morning routine, content strategy, or shadow work checklist—but in doing nothing at all? In this episode, I share how stepping off the content hamster wheel, letting myself rest, and even sitting in the discomfort (with donuts, Netflix, and wine in hand) became the most spiritually aligned move I could’ve made. This is for the woman who's tired of trying to vibe her way out of a funk and needs permission to jus...
