In this deeply personal episode of Bliss'n Up, I reflect on the theme of "shift" for the new year and what it means to make intentional changes in life rather than drifting away from our principles and dreams. I open up about my journey toward embracing faith—a shift that has profoundly shaped my life. From my upbringing in a household with conflicting beliefs to moments of questioning, rebellion, and ultimately reconciliation, I share the influences and experiences that guided me toward becoming a woman of faith.

Hey Bliss'ners! In episode 34, I dive into the transformative power of intention, inspired by a profound conversation with my dear friend and psychotherapist, Dr. Betsy Guerra. We explore how setting intentions can shift your experience of life, even amidst chaos. Betsy shares a deeply personal story about turning a rushed and emotional trip into a meaningful and joyful experience by simply deciding to be present.

We also discuss the difference between goals and intentions, the liberating power of removing distractions, and how intention connects us to our divine selves. Plus, I reflect on the importance of sharing energy and wisdom from the incredible people in my life—including you, my Bliss'ners! This episode is packed with insights to help you embrace the holidays (and beyond) with purpose and presence. 💫

Are you feeling the December rush—overwhelmed, panicky, and like there’s just not enough time? Same here. In this episode, I share how I caught myself falling into the trap of “all-or-nothing” thinking, feeling like every single task had to be done yesterday. But guess what? Bliss isn’t waiting for the perfect snowy vacation or the quiet moment—it’s right here, in the mess and busyness of everyday life.

I reflect on how to reclaim your peace and intentionality during the busiest season, from shifting your mindset to embracing thoughts that calm your energy. I dive into principles like Parkinson’s Law and festina lente (“make haste slowly”) to help you focus on what truly matters. Plus, I share how a sunrise walk with friends reminded me to prioritize joy, even when the to-do list feels endless. Let’s tackle the season with intention, step by step, and uncover the magic hidden in plain sight.

Hey Bliss'ners! This episode is incredibly special as I celebrate my 45th birthday—a day that feels like divine synchronicity since it falls on a Sunday, the day my podcast airs. Birthdays are more than just milestones; they’re opportunities to honor the miracle of our existence and the breadcrumbs of wisdom life leaves us along the way. I reflect on the profound odds of being born (400 trillion to one!), share the lessons from my mentor, the extraordinary Susan Ford Collins—who also celebrates her 85th birthday today—and explore the wisdom I’d impart to my younger self, represented by my wonderful assistant's vibrant 7-year-old Marie, who also shares this birthday. Together, we look at the past, embrace the present, and chart the path to a future filled with purpose, resilience, and gratitude. This is an episode to bookmark and revisit on your own birthday or to share with someone special as a reminder of life’s magic and your unique place in it.

Happy Sacred Sunday, blissiners! It’s episode 31 of Bliss'n Up!

Today is a super special Sacred Sunday because it's December 1st, and there's something magical about the first of the month landing on a Sunday. We get to set our intentions not just for the week, but for the entire month, and it's truly a powerful way to kick things off.

This practice allows us to be intentional and align our energies with our goals and desires.

I am also sharing the significance of living in tune with the seasons. Inspired by my friend Michelle Villalobos, I explore how different times of the year call for different energies and focus.

To watch our interview where Michelle speaks about this, click here.

While we’re stepping into the winter season—a time traditionally associated with stillness, dreaming, and receptivity—there's also room for bold action depending on our unique circumstances and environments.

This December, I invite you all to embrace the spirit of being daring and bold in our lives. Let’s dream big, take action, and truly enjoy the last month of this year. I’m so excited about this theme and can't wait to embark on this journey with you.

On this sacred Sunday, with Thanksgiving just around the corner, I’m reflecting on the beauty of a holiday that encourages us to gather and give thanks for what we have, where we are, and how far we’ve come.

This Sacred Sunday I’m opening up about those moments when life feels overwhelming—when fear, uncertainty, and high emotions take over. You know the ones: whether it’s a personal crisis or the collective tension (like election season), it’s hard to find your footing. I’m sharing three principles that have personally helped me through those “hold-your-breath” times. These aren’t just tips; they’re tools I’ve leaned on to feel more grounded, clear, and in control. If you’re craving a way to steady yourself and move forward with purpose, this one’s for you. Let’s work through it together.

Today, I'm diving into the story behind one of my personal traditions—Sacred Sunday. Ever had a habit, nickname, or tradition that’s become so ingrained you assume everyone knows its meaning? Well, it hit me recently when a friend asked why I call Sundays “sacred.” I realized I’d never really explained it, so here we are!
