She dreamed of living with animals. Everyone told her it was impossible. Today, she’s one of the most respected voices in the world.
In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with Dr. Jane Goodall — renowned primatologist, environmentalist, and UN Messenger of Peace — to talk about what chimpanzees taught her about humanity, hope, and our role on this planet.
We explore how to stay optimistic in the face of global crisis, why every small action matters, and what it truly means to listen to your inner knowing — even when the world doubts you.
This conversation is a powerful invitation to reconnect with nature, lead with compassion, and protect what we love.

What if the voice guiding your healing… was already inside you?
In this raw and emotional episode, I speak with Amy Rachelle, naturopath and intuitive, about addiction, self-responsibility, and the power of radical inner listening.
Amy shares the story of how she spent 14 years addicted to pot, how a fire she caused became the wake-up call she couldn’t ignore — and how sitting in silence for 10 days led to a moment that changed everything.
We talk about:
– The hidden reason we stay addicted to pain and avoidance
– How trauma blocks our connection to self-trust and truth
– Amy’s life-changing Vipassana experience — and the voice she heard
– The power of radical responsibility and feminine embodiment
– Learning to listen to your intuition — even when it terrifies you
This conversation is a powerful reminder that your body, your breath, and your truth are waiting for you to come home.

What if everything you're trying to fix on the outside... is really a wound you're holding inside?
In this powerful and deeply honest episode, I sit down with breathwork teacher Anthony Abbagnano, founder of Alchemy of Breath, to explore the real reason so many of us feel stuck, disconnected, or afraid to face our own inner world — and how your breath can lead you back to the truth of who you are.
We talk about:
– How the breath stores unprocessed trauma — and how to release it
– The shadow side of spiritual growth and the danger of the spiritual ego
– Why healing isn't about fixing yourself, but about letting go
– What it means to reconnect with your essence through breath

“You’re not suffering because of what happened. You’re suffering because you’re resisting it.”
This one sentence from Michael A. Singer might change how you see your entire life.
In this mind-opening episode, I sit down with the bestselling author of The Untethered Soul to talk about one of the most misunderstood spiritual truths:
💥 That true freedom doesn’t come from controlling life — but from learning how to handle it.
💥 That you are not your thoughts, your emotions, or your pain.
💥 And that peace begins the moment you stop fighting what is.
We talk about how to let go of the past, why healing doesn’t mean “fixing” anything, and what it truly means to live with an open heart.
This conversation changed something in me. I hope it meets you where you are.

Why people pleasing is often a trauma response, not kindness
How self-betrayal hides in our daily choices
What love asks of us — and what it never should
