Body of Soul // Wellness + Spirituality

What if I were to tell you that having SEX, can unlock your super powers?

That CONSCIOUS SEX can lead to more creativity, fulfilment, bliss, self-awareness, intuition, and surrender in all areas of your life? Sexuality is one of the most potent energies we hold (women, we can literally create life!), and can help us deepen the level of intimacy with our partner, and elevate our consciousness to high states.

Conscious sexuality is all about being… conscious. It’s not about what we are doing, it’s more about HOW we are doing it.

It’s about being present with our partner.

It’s about having open communication and honesty.

It’s about being in our body and leading with our heart, rather than being caught in the mind.

It’s more so about BEING, versus doing.

In this episode of the Body of Soul podcast, I interview Bibi, a speaker and teacher on Conscious Sexuality, and the Wellness Director at Nomade in Tulum, Mexico.

We chat about…

- Bibi’s journey from working in finance for 12 years, to now teaching workshops across the globe on Conscious Sexuality

- How Bibi’s sexual awakening led her to discover her life’s purpose

- What is Conscious Sexuality?

- Practices you can do with your partner (or by yourself) to deepen intimacy and expand consciousness in the bedroom, and beyond

- How our sexual energy extends into other areas of our lives

- Bibi’s daily rituals and self-care practices

(Warning: Better sex may be a side effect from listening to this episode.)

"No pain, no gain". “No days off”. “I am SO sore... that must have been an awesome workout”.

So many of us have fallen into the belief that the more we hit the gym, the more miles we run, the more calories we burn, the more we push our body, the better.

YES, the mind and body are capable of extraordinary things...BUT rest and recovery is essential for actualizing all of our efforts. Ayurveda (known as the “sister science of yoga”), teaches us just how important it is to balance effort with rest, in order to keep our mind and our body thriving.

If we don't allow ourselves to be still, serious symptoms can arise like anxiety, insomnia, endless thoughts, lack of focus, indecisiveness, headaches, muscle spasms, and overall fatigue of the mind and body. These are all signs of what Ayurveda would call a “Vata” imbalance.

In this episode, I interview Amanda, an Ayurvedic Coach who helps people get fit and find balance using the principles of Ayurveda.

We chat about...

- How Amanda went from over exercising and extreme dieting to finding balance with Ayurveda

- Vata imbalances that can occur from too much exercise

- How each dosha relates to different forms of exercise

- Ayurvedic diet versus modern nutritional diet

- Subtle energies of foods (The Gunas)

- Amanda’s go-to Ayurvedic recipes and self-care practices

Living with depression, anxiety, or stress is hard, no matter what symptoms you are experiencing.

Lack of motivation for life, check. Fatigue and insomnia, check. Bad eating habits (like eating way too much chocolate), check. Can't get yourself out of bed, check.

Over the past few months, I really struggled with my mental health. I felt like I completely "fell off" the spiritual path, and took a hundred steps back on my personal growth journey. I thought I would never return to back to my higher self.

But I did, and so can YOU.

In this episode, I share my experience with depression and 9 practices that helped me balance my mental health (no medication, no therapy!).

I chat about...

- How I went from being in absolute peace during a silent meditation retreat, to slipping into a deep depression

- My experience living with depression and extreme anxiety

- 9 lifestyle changes that helped me overcome my depression

- Why I believe its OK to be depressed

Having a hard time falling asleep at night? Can't seem to digest your meals even though you're eating "healthy"? Constantly overwhelmed with endless thoughts?

Any mental or physical health symptom serves as a message that one (or a few) of the doshas are out of balance.

In this episode, I go in depth about the most common dosha imbalances and different treatments for each.

I chat about...

- Overview of Ayurveda and the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)

- Common signs and symptoms of dosha imbalances

- How to assess which dosha is out of balance

- Simple Ayurvedic treatments to re-balance your mind and body

Ayurveda is so much more than eating certain foods, adding tons of herbs to your diet, or massaging yourself with oil.

Ayurveda is the world longest standing health system in the world, rooting from Ancient India over 5,000 years ago. It is also referred to as the “sister science” of yoga, focusing on bringing balance to the mind and body, to then connect with the Soul.

Ayurveda is a holistic, all encompassing approach to living that helps us understand the guiding forces of the 5 elements and the 3 doshas in every aspect of our lives. And if you are already wondering WTH is a “dosha”… do not worry, I explain it all in this episode!

In this episode of the Body of Soul podcast, I chat about…

- What is Ayurveda?

- The Nature of Reality and Consciousness

- How Ayurveda defines “health”

- The Five elements

- The Three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)

Time and space are constructs created by us humans.

So if time and space don’t actually exist, how many variations to this existence are there really? Is your higher self accessing many different bodies, other from the one you are familiar with in the physical world? Are you living infinite lives in different dimensions all at once?

In this episode of the Body of Soul podcast, I chat with Quantum Healing Hypnotist, Angie Sanchez, about past/parallel lives, the Quantum Field, and the illusions of time and space.

We chat about…

- Angie’s spiritual journey from being a Nun, a Priestess, to now a Quantum Healing Hypnotist

- What is Past Life Regression and Quantum Healing?

- Past/parallel lives and our human experience as we know it

- The illusions of time and space

- How to connect with your other lives and spirit guides

The weekend after quitting my job, I went on a journey with the sacred plant medicine, Ayahuasca.

Going into ceremony, I was a bit fearful to potentially face my darkest shadows, dig through deep family trauma and old wounds, and possibly dissolve my ego even more.

But this spiritual, psychedelic experience was totally different.

It was incredibly healing, and provided so much insight into why I had experienced such painful emotions upon leaving my job.

In this episode of the Body of Soul podcast, I chat about…

- What is Ayahuasca and what "goes down" in ceremony

- My Ayahuasca journey

- How Ayahuasca is NOT the answer to solving all of your human "problems"

- How parental and ancestral relationships affect our experience

- Pain during the spiritual descent and the integration process within the physical realm

- Why YOU can help your parents heal, and how you can support their journey

Are you thinking about leaving your job and living life on your OWN terms? Are you craving work that feels aligned with your SOUL and personal mission? Are you fearful of what the Soul is capable of creating in this human experience?

After receiving many messages from the Universe, and finally receiving a big shove, I decided to leave my job at a fast growing, Silicon Valley tech startup. I listened to my inner voice and freed myself from the golden handcuffs of free food, money, and stock options.

Once I took the leap, I was expecting immediate relief and self-confirmation that I made the right decision. But I was unexpectedly met with a flurry of emotions and deep rooted trauma that came bubbling up to the surface of my conscious mind…

So, was leaving my job and money behind the right move?

In this episode of the Body of Soul podcast, I chat about…

- Dealing with my “spiritual awakening” while working at a Silicon Valley tech startup

- Receiving messages from the Universe and listening to my inner voice, telling me that I was misaligned with my Soul’s true purpose

- How I landed a job offer before actually leaving my job

- Staying committed to embodying truth vs. staying for money

- Allll the emotions (and my slight ego death) after quitting my job

- Re-learning how to LIVE and BE

- Surrendering and trusting divine timing of the Universe

And stay tuned for the NEXT episode where I share my Ayahuasca experience the weekend following the departure from my job. Such an unexpected (and beautiful) journey that I cannot wait to share!

Letting go of someone you love is not easy. But if the relationship is not allowing you to embody your highest self, it may be time to walk away.

At the very core, we all just want to be loved and accepted. Yet we don't necessarily need someone else to complete us.

We are infinite sources of love, and the more love we can give to ourselves and others, the more love we will receive.

In this episode, I chat with Relationship Transition Coach, Leah Morris, about relationships and self-love.

We chat about…

- Leah’s spiritual journey

- Divorce and when to let go of a relationship

- Realizing what you truly want (and deserve)

- Feeling a sense of completeness from a partner

- Can you heal another person when in a relationship with them?

- Power dynamics and protecting your own energy when facing issues in your relationship

- How just “being” is the best form of self-love

Death is a topic many of don't talk about. How could we not share our voice on something that is inevitably going to happen to every single one of us?

Every emotion felt after the death of a loved one is an emotion that deserves to be voiced and shared.

Death is not only a transition for the one passing, but also a transition for the one experiencing the loss. There is a divine opportunity to gain strength, appreciation for human life, appreciation for this sacred body, and realizing the temporary illusion we are taking part in.

In this episode, I chat with Alana Lima, a holistic health coach, who is on a mission to empower people to feel confident in their own health journeys.

We chat about...

- Finding your soul’s purpose through dark times

- Death, the eternal self, and connecting with loved ones who have passed

- Living in a reality that is aligned with your highest self

- Plant based diet for healing mind, body, soul

- Intuitive and emotional eating

- Daily practices for turning inward
