  • 024: Do You Fear yourself? I do.
    We all know that the place we need to go is within, but what is keeping us from going down that path? In this episode, I talk about the importance of being alone, truly alone, with yourself. While I recognize that inwards is the directions I am heading, I still find that going in that direction is difficult. There is a resistance that I feel when trying so go inwards and the resistance is rooted in fear. Being alone with ourselves is simple but it is not as easy as one might think. To truly be alone means being alone with every aspect of yourself.. your fears and pain but also the beauty and love that exist within you that you can sometimes fail to see. It means being alone with everything that you are and that can be scary because it means facing the truths you do not want to see.

  • 023: Why Relationships Are Your Best Guides
    Sometimes you can only understand yourself in relation to other people or places. In this episode, I talk about about some of the major lessons that I am learning so far while in Spain. Being here is showing me that I not only need other people, but that I have so much to learn about myself through relationships. Spain is acting as a mirror… it is showing me that while personal relationship are difficult for me, they don’t necessarily have to be. Some of that friction exists because we can only see certain parts of ourselves when they interact with their exact opposite. Becoming aware of who you are is also found in how you relate to other people. Join me on my 40 Day Spiritual Practice Challenge!

  • 022: Self Love & Lack Thereof
    Sometimes we leave a place, a situation or even a person and with it we think that a part of ourselves has left with it. Since I’ve left the states, Ive assumed that some of my internal problems were fixed because they haven’t in the forefront of my consciousness. But recently, these problems have been resurfacing and for me this is a clear sign that the root of my suffering still needs to be addressed and healed. While I have made huge strides, the lack of self love that I have for myself is still very apparent. The lack of self love that I feel deals with the wounded core belief that I am not enough. Often we go through life reaming unhealed because we don’t take the time and the energy to focus our attention internally. Admitting how I actually feel instead of distracting myself from it seems to be the necessary first step.

  • 021: On Being in the Present Moment... or Not

    I know that "being in the now" is something that we all strive for, but why is it so difficult to obtain? In this episode, I talk about why it is so difficult for me to live in the present moment and ways that my mind distracts me from fully being present.During my recent trip to England, I found that I wasn’t quite all there. It was almost as though I left as soon as I arrived because my mind was constantly somewhere else: the future.  This trip to England has shown me that I'm not in the moment as much as I thought I was. As quickly as the mind can be pulled to the present, it can leave just as fast. No matter how much I try, I know that I can't keep running from the present moment because there is nowhere else to go.

  • 020: All Things Unknown
    I can confidentially say that I am fully engulfed in the unknown, so now would be the appropriate time to reflect on it. In this episode, I take a step back to in order to not just reflect on my travels, but also how I got here. This trip is showing me that no matter where I end up, it’s not as mysterious or surprising as I thought it would be… instead it just makes sense. Only by letting go of who I think I am, can I truly and freely step into the person that I was along. As I begin to see the bigger picture, not just of my travels but also myself, Im realizing that I’m being drawn to all the right places and circumstances, I just failed to recognize it before.

  • 019: Self Doubt 101
    In order to move forward, we need to face two sets of fears: fear of the external and fear of the self. In this episode, I explore the concept of self doubt and why it can be harder to face than anything outside of us. Self doubt is defined the lack of confidence in one own’s motives, abilities, and even thoughts. But what exactly do those doubt show up as and how do they prevent us from moving forward? I am attempting to look my self doubts in the face in order to eventually move past them.

  • 018: Spiritual Awakenings and Such
    We all hear the terms Spiritual Awakening and Ascension, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, I try to answer the question “What is a spiritual awakening”? I try to understand this concept both philosophically and as I try to work my way through my own awakening process. I’ve come to terms that I am beginning to awaken and hopefully my experience can give some insight to you on your journey.

  • 017: Searching Somewhere for Happiness
    After arriving in Las Palmas, Spain, I realized that I fell into the same trap that I always do. I assumed that if I change my outside world, then my inside world would follow, but that is not the case. In this episode, I try to understand my version of happiness, not only what it looks like but also what it feels like. I have always blamed the outside world for my unhappiness which is why I am constantly trying to change my surroundings. I’ve begun to realize that I focus too much on what I think is making me unhappy rather than what happiness actually feels like. As I begin to understand what happiness is, only then can I start moving towards it. The shift from blame to responsibility has begun and so too has my understanding of where I am and where I want to be.

  • 016: Feeling Forever Lost? Same.
    Sometimes in life we can feel as though we are lost and sometimes we can feel that way for a while. Feeling as though you are directionless doesn’t just happen to us physically, but it can also happen spiritually. In this episode I talk about why being lost in the Balkans is also a reflection of my internal world. I talk about the ways in which I feel spiritually lost and why. But no matter how far I stray or how lost I feel, I know that I am not alone even when I am by myself.

  • 015: Is Embracing the Unknown Really Worth it?
    Moving on means going onwards even if you don’t feel like you are ready. In this episode, I talk about my next move: leaving Turkey. I have been in Turkey for two months, and even though I am traveling, I have found a bit of comfort and security there that is hard to leave. No matter how far and how wide we may travel, leaving something that you have grown used to and attached to isn’t easy. This is a reminder that trying to embrace the unknown takes constant effort because it is easier to remain stagnant than keep moving forward and just because you know its time to move on, doesn’t mean you necessarily want to. This is my last episode in Turkey before I depart to Bulgaria and Romania for two weeks.
