Some days, it feels impossible to keep up with the timelines, the pressures and expectations — it all becomes too loud.

And then, someone comes along who reminds you that you are allowed to live many lives in one lifetime — and none of them have to make sense to anyone else but you.

That’s what today’s conversation with multidimensional mami, Mackenzie of @onthematwithmack brings: 

a breath of authenticity and honesty, a gut check, and the exact reminder you need if you’ve been questioning your direction, your goodness, your purpose, or the pace of your life.

In this raw and grounded episode, we talk about what it really means to change your mind, pivot, forgive, start over, follow the pull, and trust that your life is allowed to look different every season.

We chat:

• Why living multiple lives is normal (and actually healthy)
• The real reason we fear pivoting, even when it feels right
• How to release the “right timeline” myth and trust your own pace
• What to do when your past identities feel embarrassing or confusing
• The grief, liberation and process of friendship breakups
• How to use curiosity > fear when starting something new
• The power of sacred feminine anger
• How to stay human off and online while being perceived

This episode isn’t just a conversation. It’s a reset — a reminder that you’re allowed to grow, quit, begin again, unravel, bloom, and reinvent without needing to justify any of it.

If you’re in a season of transition, confusion, or reinvention… this one is for you.

Today we clean the fogged mirror.
With the beautiful mentor, writer and woman in love with life, Maia Ben, we dig into the exact moment you stop lying to yourself, stop postponing your life, and start keeping the tiny promises that remake your identity. From three years of procrastination to launching a studio in two bed-recorded days — Maia shares the truth of her sobering self-compassion and evolution journey.

This episode is for anyone who’s been waiting for clarity, for permission, or for the “perfect” moment. We talk messy action, inner children (multiples, yes), somatic micro-steps that build cellular self-trust, and how integration — not exile — heals the parts of you that scream the loudest.

Expect raw stories, practical witchy tools, and gentle but fierce truth-telling about momentum, embodiment, and why neutrality + respect > forced self-love. 

If you’ve ever felt like an expert at excuses, this one’s your mirror-shattering, mercy-filled wake-up call.

Listen for:

• Her overnight decision that changed everything
• Somatic micro-movements to prove you can keep your word to yourself
• How to give unruly parts of you a department (so they don’t run the whole company)
• Why messy action births clarity, momentum, and self-trust

If this episode lands, leave a review, share it with a friend who’s also been “not ready,” and share with us below, one tiny promise you’ll keep today.

This episode is for anyone still haunted by who they used to be.

For the moments you remember something you said, or didn’t say. Something you did, or didn’t do. The version of yourself who hurt someone, disappeared, froze, lied, coped in messy ways—and the loop of shame that still whispers, “You’re a bad person because of it.”

Today, I want to offer a different perspective: you are not a terrible person for doing things you’re not proud of. You are a human being. A human who’s learning. A human who’s growing. A human who’s at a place where they're ready to lay down the weight of old guilt and are choosing to rewrite the narrative ...

This conversation is a reckoning and a release. We’ll talk about how to shift from self-punishment to self-responsibility.

From shame into sovereignty.

From “I was wrong, so I must be bad” to “I was human, and I’m learning how to love that version of me too.”

I share my own experiences with guilt, ghosting, and how I am learning to see those moments not as the end—but as the beginning of a deeper becoming. We’ll end with one grounded tip and shadow work journal prompt to help you interrupt the self-critical spiral and reclaim your story in real time.

You are not too far gone. You are not irredeemable. You are not a villain in your own life ...

You are the alchemist.  ׂ𓈒⋆ ۪ 

In this episode, I sit with Trina to explore what it means to transform—not in theory, but in practice. From talk therapy and yoga to consensual touch and plant medicine, Trina shares how her healing journey unfolded slowly, through presence and intention, not perfection...

We talk about leaving the fashion world to follow a calling that didn’t make sense on paper, but made her feel alive. About doing things simply because they feel good—not because they need to lead somewhere. About redefining abundance, rebuilding our relationship with money, and allowing joy to be the reason.

This conversation is a reminder that healing is not about never having bad days—it’s about building the tools to meet yourself when they come. That luxury can be a slow morning. That purpose often reveals itself when you stop trying to chase it.

If you too are in a season of rediscovery, this one’s for you.

With her sessions, she helps clients regulate their nervous systems, release old patterns, and step into lives filled with balance, creativity, and expanded awareness.

This episode is a soft landing for anyone who’s ever drifted from themselves. When the noise of the world, the pull of another person, or the weight of self-inflicted expectations begins to blur your edges... It’s time to come back. To slow down. To remember the rituals that root you. This isn’t just about dating. It’s about how easy it is to hand over your focus, your time, your nervous system—to influences outside of yourself. I talk about what it looks like to reclaim your attention, not as an act of resistance, but as an act of reverence and offer different spicy witchy rituals that have helped me. To remember that your presence is sacred. That solitude is not a lack, but a return. That tending to yourself is not selfish—it’s survival. Share this with someone you think would appreciate the reminder and remember to follow along on instagram @yoursoftplace and @andsoitiswithmish 𖦹 ׂ𓈒⋆ ۪ 

In this episode, I sit down with Marley to talk about uncovering the inner call for something more. We explore what it means to hold space for the life you're creating, as it feels unclear and uncomfortable.

We dive into:

• Moving through financial shifts and internal restructuring
• Outgrowing outdated childhood beliefs about freedom and what success is
• How meditation transforms your inner dialogue to help you stay grounded
• Why shadow work and mindfulness are key to real, lasting change
• Building from passion, not pressure — and redefining what "growth" looks like

If you’ve ever felt stuck between the life you built and the life you know you’re meant to live, this episode is your reminder: you’re not alone, your practices will lead you, and the hardest part? Showing up.

I can’t wait for you to listen to this medicine. Love you, mean it.

Healing your inner child, embodying your evolution, and using fashion as a spiritual tool.

In this soul-nourishing conversation, we're diving deep into holistic (life)style with fashion fairy, Lea. She shares her journey of realizing that fashion is not just an aesthetic — it's a sacred tool for self-connection, healing, and creative freedom. In this episode, she helps spark listeners to do the same...

𖦹 Topics We Explore:

• Trends as Portals: How trends can serve as doorways to discovering deeper layers of your personal style, when approached with curiosity and playfulness.

• The Power of Music & Rituals: How music, mantras, and intentional rituals can alchemize the act of getting dressed into a devotional practice.

• Clothes as Charged Energy: Tapping into the emotional memory woven into your favorite pieces to rekindle feelings of joy and self-love.

• Living, Breathing Style: Why personal style must evolve alongside our ever-changing souls — and how embracing change with grace can be our greatest empowerment.

• Healing Through Play: Allowing silliness, experimentation, and tenderness to be part of your styling journey, especially in moments of emotional turbulence.

• The Textile Hug: How wrapping yourself in favorite pieces can be an act of self-affirmation and self-honoring.

• The Power of Intention: How infusing your life — and your wardrobe — with clear, loving intention unlocks true wealth, worth, and deep-rooted joy.

  
  

Lea reminds us that style isn't about rules but love, and it's about creating from your authentic being: pure, radiant, divine love.

In this episode, we’re joined by Lo — founder of Rising Rituals — for a soul-nourishing conversation about the true superpower of self-reflection. We dive deep into how journaling and slowing down to check in with yourself can radically shift not just your relationship with others, but most importantly, your relationship with you.

Lo shares her personal journey with journaling, from childhood to navigating the darkest nights of the soul during the pandemic. She opens up about how real-time self-reflection, through simple daily prompts, helped her rise from her own shadows — and how it can do the same for you.

We explore the art of gratitude beyond just listing what you’re thankful for, feeling into it with all your senses. Lo also offers four powerful prompts to begin your own morning practice, grounding yourself with acts of kindness, affirmations, and conscious presence.

Together, we reflect on the balance between deep introspection and living fully in the moment — reminding ourselves that life is meant to be lived, and that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is play.

We also talk about Lo’s beautiful journal Rising Rituals (available on her Instagram @risingwithlo) and the importance of honoring your creative, multidimensional self every single day.

Remember: you’re living, you’re learning, and you’re allowed to take it slow. 🌱

In this vulnerable solo episode, I drop in to share what it’s really like to be in the muck — the messy, uncomfortable, deeply emotional parts of the cycle that don’t get glamorized.

Aligned with the Libra Full Moon and my own menstrual cycle, I explore the sacredness of feeling your feelings fully, turning pain into power, and honoring the bittersweet release that often comes with growth.

I chat:

• Trusting divine timing when plans shift

• Feeling like sh*t as a sacred portal

• Emotional data + the importance of reflection

• Syncing with your cycle + the moon

• Using your shower as ritual

• Giving yourself grace while letting go

This is your permission slip to not have it all together. To rest, reflect, and remember that growth still happens in stillness. I also share two full moon journal prompts to help you tune into what your body and spirit are asking for right now...

❀❃𑁍✿ Let yourself feel it all — because that’s where real change begins.𖧧

This isn’t a rebrand—it’s more of a homecoming. After pushing through burnout, chasing a version of success that no longer fit, and learning the hard way that my nervous system needed something softer, I’ve finally surrendered.

A Soft Place to Land is a space for the tenderhearted, the creatives, and the ones learning to hold themselves through it all. In this first episode, I share the story behind this shift, the fall (literally) that changed everything, and why I’m choosing peace over proving. Let’s begin again—together.

Tune in, take a deep breath, and let yourself land. This is your Soft Place to Land ☁︎ See you on Sunday Morning's 𓈒⋆♡
