"“And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden
This quote inspired the Divine Feminine solo episode for this week. Sometimes you read a quote and it just hits you. Opens a pathway in your brain that allows you to realize, "Oh...maybe that could be true." I read this quote at just the right moment to get the message clearly, it's time to stop fighting to be perfect and just be you, perfectly. Why do so many of us hold on so tightly to the idea of perfection, particularly Women? Always pushing, trying to get closer & closer to what we think will finally allow us to be "enough", happy, and free to enjoy our lives. I believe it's because we don't know how to accept ourselves unconditionally, as we are, in the moment. We're always seeking more to get us closer to this unachievable state of "perfection" because the pursuit has become more comfortable to us than actually being able to feel perfect or even, enough. I hope you get the message meant for you out of it, thank you for listening!

Lynn calls herself a Transformational Alchemist, helping turn people’s personal darkness into light as an alchemist turns lead into gold. Lynn's greatest strength, however, is that by harnessing the spiritual and healing wisdom of the ages, she sees the clearest path to help her clients return to the healthy natural state that is the birthright of the sacred, beloved, and divine beings they truly are.
On this Guest episode Lynn shares about her beautiful spiritual journey and touches on many topics including Akashic Records and knowing your soul purpose, calling in destined abundance, quantum healing stepping into the power within, healing trauma through energy work, and channeling.

A dear friend and lovely listener of the show recently invited me to speak at her company's online conference for Women In Leadership. I was excited for the opportunity yet I did feel a little nervous...speaking to a crowd and giving a presentation requires a lot of preparation and practice. I felt stressed out thinking about the idea of it made me uncomfortable. Which was ironic because the topic I was be presenting on would be "Being Comfortable with the Uncomfortable." Yet I quickly snapped out of it and knew I had to jump at the chance to stretch myself and gain experience and be comfortable with the uncomfortable.
On this week's guest episode I go deeper in to some of the themes and components of Being Comfortable With the Uncomfortable. I share how discomfort is where all things grow or are revealed, stepping out of your comfort zone is where change happens, allowing yourself to sit with uncomfortable feelings reveals fear & worries which is the gateway to Divine Feminine inner peace.

* Ok so I wanted to record an episode for THIS years Gemini Full Moon yet I just straight up ran out of time. So hopefully this throwback from last year clues you in enough on the elements of the season upon us, GEMINI!*
Happy New Moon in Gemini! AND with Venus at the same astrological degree as the Moon, we're feeling her powerful Divine Feminine influence as well encouraging connection, sensuality, & embodiment. So it's a very poignant & powerful time to move with fortitude & a bit of sassiness into opportunities to express ourselves, engage in important conversations, and expand our thoughts on possibilities. We may even be making a big announcement or sharing our ideas publicly, anything is possible if you take action at this time!
On this identify & Heal solo episode I offer a few tips on how to really tap into this New Moon in Gemini energy! This includes considering important conversations that may be beneficial to have such as clearing the air about something, making an apology, or reconnecting. We may also feel drawn to explore ways to express yourself and what that would look like. In addition, you may want to identify how you can improve your communication & increase mental clarity by doing so.

Hello Dears! Happy Friday! I decided to do a little mini series of solo episodes as a follow up the episode of The Never Ending Story and Releasing Fear. To provide an offering for how to begin awakening our loving, trusting selves. And it starts with the heart. Inspired by the wonderful book by Dana Quade, Doing The Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World I share what she refers to as the 4 chambers of the heart and will be covering each chamber in this mini series.
On this episode I talk about the FOURTH chamber of the heart which allows us to stick to our convictions, The COURAGEOUS Heart. I share the importance of having a COURAGEOUS heart which is that of your brave soul, it endows you with the ability to say NO when you must and stick up for what you believe in. It is the heart of self love that no one can fully self-love without. The fiery heart that acts on feelings that are true to the spirit.

Hello Lovlies! Happy Friday! I decided to do a little mini series of solo episodes as a follow up the episode of The Never Ending Story and Releasing Fear. To provide an offering for how to begin awakening our loving, trusting selves. And it starts with the heart. Inspired by the wonderful book by Dana Quade, Doing The Thing: How Finding Your Shine Will Brighten Our World I share what she refers to as the 4 chambers of the heart and will be covering each chamber in this mini series.
On this episode I talk about the second chamber of the heart which allows us to find our Divine inner adult, The Clear Heart. I share the importance of having a clear heart rather than a heart muddled and clouded by fear and self pity. A Clear heart allows you to engage in life with objectivity & reason. When your heart is clear you don't think personally by deciding that you're not going to be the victim of anyone's behavior. When your heart is clear you find great love and appreciation for You.

A friend said to me awhile back that Fear is a liar. I considered it and figured, ya, I suppose that's true. Yet the more I thought about it, it didn't work for me. I don't think that Fear is lying, I think Fear is the voice of a scared, wounded part of ourselves that is trying to keep us safe in a backwards way. This past weekend I felt this very strongly as I had a revelation that the only the only thing keeping me fully enjoying my life and being happy, is the voice of fear. And I made a pact with myself to let it end here. To release the cloak of fear that often feels wrapped around me.
On this solo episode I share some further insights into fear, the wounded voice, and how to heal it. Of course touching on the general themes of this year, 2025, that relate to ending the Never ending story of our lives and why NOW is the time to let it end and tell a new story. I also share a few oracle cards which I pulled earlier in the week which aligned with the message and I pull an oracle card for the audience!

Hello My Fabulous Listeners!
I'm using this week's solo episode to share an update on the show's episode schedule/format! I've been releasing guest episodes for nearly 4 years, WHOA! This past Wednesday I did not as I have decided to move to bi-weekly guest episodes. I've realized I need to adjust my episode release schedule as I will be back on the road for a few months this Summer and won't have enough to release guest episodes weekly. So just a heads up that i will now release 2 guest episodes and 4 solo episodes a month. As you know keeping up this show takes a lot of time and energy and I'm figuring out a balance that works for me rather than letting it go completely.
With that said, I hope you all enjoy the update along with some other personal updates and of course, a card pull!

Overwhelm is a word that has come up a lot this week, for myself and clients, so I thought it would be the perfect topic for this week's solo episode! It got me thinking about the difference between overwhelm and full on burn out/breakdown and if there is a way to prevent both. My take is that overwhelm is inevitable and burn-out/breakdowns can be prevented. I talk about the latter in this episode yet mostly I focus on navigating overwhelm; preventative measures and tips to maneuver through it.
On this solo episode I explain that when I say overwhelm I'm referring to the state where you can feel the cortisol (stress hormone) running through your body and find yourself having trouble remaining calm, civil, and not snapping or straight up yelling at others. It's a natural response to being pushed to your limit and having too much stress yet it's still important to understand and know how to work through. I give examples of my past week that led me into overwhelm and a client's account of managing 2 sick children under 2 and rightfully facing overwhelm as well.

You knew going after your dreams would take work. But why does it feel like no matter how hard you push, something invisible is holding you back? Deep down, you know: Something isn’t working. My returning guest this week, Sheridan Ruth, has made this inquiry into her life's work. As a Nervous System Specialist and creator of Body-Based Business®—a coaching model that blends somatic tools, nervous system wisdom, and business strategy to help entrepreneurs build sustainable success, She knows that success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about your capacity to hold it. I welcome Sheridan back on the show to celebrate and discuss her new book, Somatic Intelligence for Success: Nervous System Alignment to Prevent Burnout and Leave an Impact.
On this week's guest episode I have Sheridan take the stage to share about her labor of love, a fabulous new book she has published. It's a remarkable resource with a wealth of knowledge to offer. Together Sheridan and I discuss what the breaking point can be with burn out and what it can teach you about success & how somatic intelligence guides us toward aligned decisions in business & leadership. Sheridan also
breaks down the difference between burnout and misalignment from a nervous system perspective, how can women leaders can navigate ambition without falling into masculine overdrive or burnout, what feminine leadership actually looks like when it’s rooted in the body, & she offers advice do you have for a woman are ready to pivot but are terrified of making the wrong move.
BIO:
From being stripped of every strand of hair on her body to losing my ex to suicide 3 weeks after breaking up, Sheridan was forced to use trauma-healing to sustainably build her business. While there are a lot of 'trauma-informed' and 'body-based practitioner' coaches in the industry, none of them do it by merging body-based tools, the nervous system AND business strategy.
Sheridan helps anxious, perfectionist, people-pleasing and burned out entrepreneurs combine the nervous system with business strategy to increase profit and decrease anxiety - even when traditional methods haven’t worked.

* In honor of this time navigating through the chaotic energies of the eclipse portal & with the Venus Retrograde bringing up relationship patterns and wounds, I wanted to re-release this throwback episode on addiction to chaos & dysfunction. Enjoy! *
---------------------------------------------------------------- Episode originally released June of 2023------------------------------------
Do you prefer to have a lot going on around you rather than to be in a still, quiet house? TV on or podcast playing on your phone while you go about chores? Many of us are more comfortable with vibrancy rather than stillness. It can feel too quiet which can sometimes feel lonely. These are normal preferences, neither right nor wrong. Yet is it possible to become a bit dependent on noise, movement, possibly chaos & even dysfunction to feel agreeable? The world within us vibrates at the same frequency as the world around us. If we became accustomed at an early age to being in a household with a lot of yelling fighting, chaos and dysfunction, that could become the state that we feel most comfortable within.
On this episode I explore the concept of being addicted to chaos and dysfunction. This can mean not feeling comfortable in a relationship unless it's very tumultuous, toxic, or intense. Or always finding yourself in friendships and work environments with a lot of drama or instability. Essentially this comes down to feeling more at home with a nervous system that is dysregulated rather than a regulated system. It is possible to begin to shift into a more stable, peaceful baseline and enjoy healthy relationships and home life. I'll give you some tips on how to do so and to break the cycle of the addiction to chaos.
