  • Why you can’t stop comparing yourself to others (and what to do instead)

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into why comparison isn’t something you can just “stop doing.”

    She explores the primal reasons your brain is wired for it and how it constantly scans, ranks, and tries to figure out where you stand in society, all to keep you safe and chosen.

    But what most people don’t realize is… every time you get pulled into comparison, there’s a cost.

    And the cost is you.

    In this episode, she breaks down why comparison happens, what it’s actually protecting you from, and why trying to “think your way out of it” usually keeps you stuck.

    Audrey talks about how to step out of the loop, by sharing personal stories, advice she gives clients, and real-time shifts you can make in the moment when you notice that voice of comparison to help you come back to yourself and your own happiness.

  • The power of being alone (and actually enjoying it)

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about the fear of being alone and why it’s not actually about being alone at all.

    For many of us, alone time doesn’t just feel like solitude… it feels like rejection, loneliness, or even judgment. And because of that, we avoid it, not realizing how much it disconnects us from ourselves and our external relationships.

    Audrey shares her own experiences with solo travel, spending intentional time alone, and how creating space from others (even in her current relationship) can actually deepen connection, and build confidence, safety, and self-trust.

    This episode is about learning how to feel safe in your own presence and realizing that you might actually really like yourself and your own company.

  • Why you can’t let go (even when you know you should)

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about something we don’t hear enough when it comes to letting go...

    It’s not just emotional… It’s somatic.

    Your nervous system is wired to choose what feels safe and familiar, even if it’s no longer good for you. And that’s why letting go can feel so hard. It's not because you don’t know what to do, but because your body doesn’t feel safe doing it.

    Audrey shares her experience of leaving an 8-year relationship, and what that actually looked like for her — the fear, the attachment, the time it took, and the ways her system clung to something that no longer aligned because it felt like safety.

    She also talks about the nuance of relationships — how sometimes it’s not about leaving, but about looking at yourself and the ways you might be abandoning yourself within the connection. She shares a story about a friend who thought she needed to leave, but instead chose to show up differently, and how that changed everything.

    And beyond relationships, this conversation extends into the habits and patterns we hold onto every day, like the ways we avoid, distract, or numb, not because we want to stay stuck, but because it’s familiar.

    This episode is a reminder that letting go takes time, self-awareness, and most importantly, safety.

  • Understanding attachment styles & building secure love

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey explores the four attachment styles and their deeper meanings.

    If you’ve ever felt anxious in relationships, pulled away when things get too close, or stuck in the same patterns over and over again, this episode is for you.

    Audrey dives into the four attachment styles, what experiences shape them, and why your nervous system responds the way it does.

    More importantly, Audrey walks you through how to start becoming more secure within yourself, so you can feel more grounded, more confident, and less reactive in your relationships.

  • Which psychedelic is right for you? Psilocybin vs LSD vs San Pedro

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey breaks down the differences between microdosing three powerful psychedelic medicines: psilocybin (magic mushrooms), LSD, and San Pedro.

    Although they’re often grouped together, each of these medicines has a VERY different energetic feel, effect on the nervous system, and purpose when it comes to healing and personal growth.

    She talks about:
    • How psilocybin, LSD, and San Pedro differ in their emotional and mental effects when microdosing / macrodosing
    • What each experience tends to feel like in the body and mind
    • Which medicine people often gravitate toward for introspection, creativity, or heart-opening work
    • Her personal experiences working with these medicines
    • Important things to consider before working with psychedelics

    This episode is about education, intention, and helping you understand these tools more deeply so you can approach them with awareness and respect.

  • How to repair after conflict in relationships

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into how arguments don’t destroy relationships. Unrepaired ruptures do.

    In this episode, she talks about what it actually takes to repair after conflict through the three pillars of repair:

    • Regulation: calming the nervous system so we can respond instead of react

    • Communication: expressing truth while still holding space for the other person

    • Responsibility: owning our impact and rebuilding trust through accountability

    Because real intimacy isn’t about avoiding conflict; it’s about learning how to come back together afterward.

  • The art of detachment: stop arguing with reality

    In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey talks about one of the hardest but most freeing shifts we can make: learning to stop arguing with the moment in front of us.

    So much of our suffering doesn’t come from what’s happening — it comes from our resistance to it. We replay conversations, fight reality in our heads, wish things were different, and try to control outcomes that are already unfolding.

    But peace doesn’t come from winning the argument with life. It comes from surrendering to it.

    In this episode we explore:

    • Why resisting reality keeps the nervous system stuck in survival

    • The difference between surrender and giving up

    • Why letting go actually creates more clarity and power

    • How detachment allows life to move again

    This conversation is about releasing the need to control every moment and learning how to meet life as it is.

    Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is stop fighting the moment.

  • The mind–body feedback loop: How your brain & nervous system rewire

    You can’t "affirm" or "talk" your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.

    And you can’t somatic-breathe your way out of deeply wired subconscious beliefs.

    In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the 5 key brain systems involved in the subconscious mind — the ones responsible for your triggers, emotional memory, perception, and survival responses.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why your body reacts before your conscious mind catches up

    • How the nervous system and subconscious mind reinforce each other

    • Why “knowing better” doesn’t mean you’ll do better

    • And what it actually takes to rewire both systems for lasting change

    If you’ve been doing mindset work but still feel hijacked in relationships…
    Or regulating your body but still stuck in old identity loops…

    This will connect the dots.

    Real change happens when the mind and body feel safe together.

    Let's work together 1:1.
