A Soft Place to Land

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.

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⋆♡

Blossoming into a new season, a new evolution, a softer place.

Without judgment or pretending you're okay when you're not okay. You're allowed to be messy. You're allowed to begin again. If you too have been holding yourself tightly, I invite you to let go for a moment...

You're safe here, this is A Soft Place to Land.

What if life isn’t as complicated as we make it out to be?

In this episode, Alex invites us to shift our perspective, embrace the magic in everyday life, and reconnect with our most unfiltered, creative selves. This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to take life so seriously. Laugh, create, and be present. You being your most authentic self is a magnet for the right people. We chat about how:

• Perspective is Everything

• There’s no one way to be spiritual

  • Discipline matters, but so does fluidity. Allow space for change.

  • Slowing down and enjoying life is a spiritual practice in itself.

• The Power of Creativity & Play

  • The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron: A creative rebirth, not just for artists, but for everyone.

  • Creativity isn’t about mastery—it’s about the doing. Experiment. Explore. Play.

  • Embrace the uninhibited joy of your inner child, the one who made potions out of sticks and dirt.

• Accepting Your Inner Child & Identity

  • Healing your younger self allows you to accept your parents’ inner child too. You're doing your best.

  • First-gen American struggles: Balancing cultures, breaking generational molds, and finding your true self outside of your familial dynamics.

• Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

  • The magic happens outside your comfort zone. Just do it—don’t overthink.

  • Social media can be a tool for healing: Use it to share your story, unblock your throat chakra, and find your people. Flood the algorithm with hope.

Key Takeaway:

𖦹 Life is meant to be lived, not overthought. Play, create, and trust the process.
𖦹 You are meant for more magic than brain rot. Make art. Be bold. Be you.
𖦹 The world is changing—be part of the light.

Use these gentle affirmations to reconnect with your intuition, dissolve self-doubt, and remind yourself of your most inspired, authentic expression.᠅᛬

Tips for Affirmations:

• Repeat Daily - After Waking Up and Before Bed

HABIT STACKING HELPS WITH THIS (ie. while brushing teeth)

• Say it aloud - hearing your own voice reinforces the belief

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE BELIEVING YOURSELF, SAY IT IN A SILLY VOICE AND BREAK THE ICE WITH YOURSELF

• Stay consistent - even when, especially when you don't feel it.

IN THE MIRROR, REMIND YOURSELF YOU'RE THAT BITCH.

• Focus on the words and believe in their truth, even if you don't believe it for yourself just yet.

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT, YOUR PRACTICE BIRTHS "PERFECT."

For many women, menstruation has been a source of frustration, pain, and even shame. We’ve been conditioned to see it as an inconvenience, something to push through or even suppress with medication and other modalities. ✿ TW ✿

In this deeply personal and heartfelt conversation, Melissa shares her journey of losing her period after stopping birth control and the unexpected relief she felt—no longer being held back by her body, free to embrace the fast-paced world around her. But in that freedom, something was missing: connection. To her body. To her intuition. To her feminine energy.

This episode explores the powerful transformation that comes with healing your relationship with your cycle. Melissa opens up about how facing the discomfort, shame, and trauma surrounding her period led her back to herself. We discuss the deep wisdom held within the menstrual cycle, the way it mirrors the cycles of nature, and how syncing with its rhythm can help you reconnect with your intuition, your emotions, and your true essence.

• Unlearning the shame around menstruation and embracing it as a source of strength.

• The impact of birth control and how Melissa’s experience with amenorrhea led her to a deeper understanding of her body.

• The link between feminine energy and intuition—your bleed is a portal to spiritual insight.

• Cycle syncing and the four phases of menstruation—how to honor each phase rather than resist it.

• The sacred role of menstruation in healing and transformation—your bleed is not just personal; it holds the power to cleanse and renew not only yourself but the world around you.

• The importance of slowing down—why your period is a time to rest, reflect, and listen.

  
  

This conversation is an invitation to reclaim what has always been yours: your body, your intuition, and the wisdom of your cycle. Your period is not something to endure—it is something to embody.

Key Takeaway:

✿ The new earth is female—your intuition will guide you home.
✿ Reclaim your body, your cycle, your period.
✿ Your cycle is a sacred teacher—listen to what it has to say.

Okay— first and foremost. The world feels strange and crazy right now. And if you’ve been feeling anxious about traveling or flying, you are not alone. Fear is real, and so is trust.

In this episode, I sit down with Polina, an experienced solo traveler, to talk about moving through fear with faith—faith in yourself, in your intuition, and in the knowing that you are safe and protected.

We talk about everything from navigating social anxiety in coffee shops (because truly, nobody cares) to finding the best ways to travel on a budget while meeting incredible people—think hostels, couchsurfing, and volunteering.

More than anything, this episode is about trusting yourself. Polina shares how solo travel has been her greatest teacher in learning to listen to her gut, read energy, and say no when something feels off. Because that’s the thing—fear doesn’t have to paralyze you. It's there to sharpen you. It can make you more aware, more in tune, and more connected to the world in the most beautiful way.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally book that trip, consider this it. You are held. You are protected. You are capable of more than you know.

Key Takeaways:
✮ How to push past the fear of traveling alone in today's world
✮ Moving through fear with faith and intuition
✮ The best ways to travel on a budget while meeting people
✮ Why solo travel makes you more resilient and confident
✮ The one piece of advice Polina gives to anyone dreaming of a nomadic lifestyle: Just go.

This episode is for the creatives who feel blocked, the overthinkers trying to outrun their own minds, and the ones who say they’re doing the work… but deep down, have been avoiding the real stuff.

I’ve been using The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, the same workbook that Martin Scorsese, Alicia Keys, Elizabeth Gilbert, and, most recently, Doechii have credited as a pivotal change in their careers. And let me tell you...

It’s not about getting better at your craft. It’s about learning to trust yourself, to slow down, and to meet the parts of you that have been running the show behind the scenes. The ones that rush, that self-sabotage, that still hold onto old shame like a security blanket (myself included).

In this episode, I get into:
✧ Why rushing anything only makes you suffer
✧ Learning to sit with the part of you that just wants to get it done (even if it’s half-assed)
✧ Releasing control and trusting yourself—and the timing of your life
✧How Morning Pages ground me (and why I notice the difference when I don’t do them)
✧ How affirmations are rewiring my brain and exposing the shame I didn’t know and/or want to admit was there
✧ The real definition of self-love—beyond the facemasks and beautiful jewelry
✧ Facing the real reason we feel blocked—because we’re avoiding a part of ourselves we’re not ready to meet
✧ An exercise from The Artist’s Way that will completely shift your relationship with your own thoughts

This book is helping me see myself clearly for the first time, without that debilitating fear of being judged—for being the most me I’ve ever been. Ego, shame, shadows, and all.

We think we’re doing the work just because we talk about it. But are we? Or are we just reading another self-help book, giving great advice to our loved ones, and avoiding the deep, uncomfortable work that will actually set us free?

I asked myself that question. And my answer? Well… you’ll hear it in this episode. with so much love, mish
