Are you experiencing feelings of resentment, frustration, or emotional exhaustion in your relationships? Do you find yourself saying yes to things you don’t really want to do while your needs and desires are being put on the backburner, or disregarded altogether? If this sounds familiar, you’re probably lacking some boundaries.
Tune in this week to discuss what boundaries are, what they’re not, and why they’re so important. I’m sharing how to identify situations in your life that require boundaries, how to know when your boundaries are being crossed, as well as giving you actionable tips and my step-by-step process for setting and communicating boundaries without too much discomfort in the process.

Meli is a dream interpreter who helps sleep-deprived and stressed individuals uncover the root cause of their anxiety through dream work. She helps people address suppressed emotions while providing them with the tools to release these emotions with a process she calls cosmic dream alchemy. 

 Gain a foundation in what your dreams mean, and what you can do with the messages you receive afterward. Meli shares her three steps to alchemize and process your emotions through the subconscious mind with dream work, and she even walks us through a whole process, as an example, using one of my own dreams so you can see it in real time.

The Breath: Eastern Philosophy and Nervous System Science, with Dylan Werner

My guest this week stepped out of mainstream society as a punk artist, and later in life as a monk, to find truth, joy, and purpose in answering life’s big questions of self-discovery and transformation. I sat down with Raghunath, earlier known as Ray Cappo. Raghunath has been on a spiritual quest his whole life. He practices and teaches Bhakti yoga, and he’s a spiritual storyteller. Raghunath hosts the podcast Wisdom of the Sages and is the author of the book From Punk to Monk: A Memoir.

 Start your journey of remembering who you are and what truly matters. Raghunath and I discuss why nothing outside of you can bring wholeness and capital 'L' Love into your life, and Raghunath shares how he believes we can make the most of our lives and find our purpose one small act at a time.
