  • Rising Up From Foster Care

    I had the pleasure of chatting with my dear friend & inspiring soul Kimberly Stetsko. She was in foster care for most of her life, switching from home to home until the age of seventeen. Through all of this, she not only managed to come out intact but thriving. We talk about how our childhood abandonment wounds can surface in our adult relationships & what we do to move past the inner conflict that will inevitably arise when facing love.

  • A Bit More on Those 40 Years...

    Another solo episode for the books. Hearing myself talk is HARD. I cringe at some of the things I say & I'm not as articulate as I feel I am in real life, but Ima keep pushing through & get better at this! This episode takes a quick dive into what I've personally been up to for my own healing.

    DISCLAIMER, THIS IS NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE! 
    I missed quite a bit of my process, but all in due time. I also left out a ton of books!  Alas, I get a little nervous when that mic is on!
    So here are some more you might be interested in: Hold me Tight; Dr Sue Johnson, Daring Greatly; Brene Brown, Attached; Amir Levine, Nonviolent Communication; Marshall Rosenberg, Evolve Your Brain, Joe Dispensa, Seat of the Soul; Gary Zukav, Way of the Peaceful Warrior; Dan Millman, The Alchemist; Paulo Coelho, Conscious Loving; Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks....& so many more! (mentioned in the podcast were A New Earth; Eckhart Tolle, & The Celestine Prophecy (series); James Redfield. 
    Also, my hypnotherapist's name which I blanked on (whoops) is Suzanne Robichaud. Here's her link to her YouTube videos. She also custom creates videos for your personal needs.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UComB6_GmImdjqTfEGIalGRg
    Thanks for the support everyone, I hope you're finding some value in this content!

  • 40 Years in 20 Minutes - First Solo Episode & My ”WHY”

    I finally recorded my first solo episode with a brief history as to why I started this podcast in the first place! I left out a lot of what I've been learning, perhaps I'll make a sequel when I get my sea legs.  I don't know why I did this on a day where I was feeling choked up, but so be it! It was not planned in the slightest, I was taking in the view & with a little encouragement from a childhood friend, so I went for it. It's just a bit about my history, my earlier traumatic experiences & my recent grief & now heading down a healing path & furthering into ascension-with intention. 

    Is this a time where I can say, "felt cute might delete later" ? ha! 
    Thank you for listening.

  • Gotta Meltdown to Remold with Ashley Swiss

    S:1 E:5 When we break down what no longer serves us, we can reconstruct ourselves however we see fit. Down to the studs I say! Thank you to my dear friend Ashley Swiss for sharing her personal insights on rebuilding after an emotional deconstruction, into a vivacious, self-aware, spiritual being.

    We also touch on a (new to me) term called Twin Flames, (sounds cheesy but bear with us). She shares her journey navigating this type of relationship with her current partner...& what an interesting ride it is. 
    🖤
    Thanks for tuning in & shares are welcomed!! 
    (& yes I still have slight audio issues on my end, I'll figure out this blasted mic one day!).
