This week has been one of uncertainty, survival, and powerful reflection as LA faces its largest fires in history. In this episode, I share my personal journey through evacuation, the chaos of the last few days, and finding resilience in the face of nature’s unpredictability. From navigating hurricane-force winds and smoky air to leaning on my community and trusting my instincts, the lessons have been profound.

I reflect on the energy of the Wolf Moon, which peaks this Monday, January 11th—a time to honor our inner strength, reconnect with our intuition, and let go of what no longer serves us. This full moon invites us to embrace resilience, nurture our connections, and move forward with purpose.

Join me as I share stories from the week, reflections on survival and support, and thoughts on how we can balance the energy of these challenging times with collective action, gratitude, and giving. Let’s explore the power of community, introspection, and transformation as we welcome the first full moon of the year.

In this week’s episode of Coffee & Crystals, we’re diving into a whirlwind recap of my week: from getting breadcrumbed and ghosted, to debating whether to take the leap to New York or stay planted in LA. I’ll also touch on last week’s episode with The Million Mile Project, the Lululemon Run Club party, and my creative progress with the stories I’ve been writing.

The crystal of the week aligns perfectly with the shift into Kapha season and the first day of winter, where we explore the importance of slowing down and reflecting. I’ll also introduce Qigong practices for kidney and urinary bladder health to nurture vitality and combat winter’s heaviness.

Join me as we uncover tips for staying in harmony with the season, balance Kapha dosha, and embrace patience, creativity, and tranquility during this time of hibernation. Plus, I’ll share personal insights on winter survival, staying warm, and conserving energy for the return of the light post-Winter Solstice.

Grab your coffee (or tea), and let’s reflect, heal, and grow together!

In this week's episode, we dive into the power of connection, reflecting on personal growth and meaningful conversations.

With Mercury Retrograde beginning, I’m feeling reflective about my journey since last November’s personal challenges. Self-care, journaling, and finding inner connection have been key to my healing process, and I encourage you to take time to reflect and reconnect, especially during the holiday season.

This episode is all about self-care, connection, and community— and how to overcome alienation and build meaningful relationships in your life.

As we dig into the frenzy of Black Friday and the holiday season, it's the perfect time to reflect on the tension between consuming and creating. In this episode, we explore how the pressure of constant consumption—whether it's shopping, traveling, or social media FOMO—can pull us away from our true creative potential. We discuss personal stories, like my own experience of navigating the holidays as a college student away from family, and the deeper emotional learning that comes with balancing our desire to consume with our need to create.

I also share some exciting updates, including a rebrand of Coffee & Crystals, where I reflect on community feedback, top episodes of the year, and the steps behind designing a new brand look (Pinterest boards, fonts, colors, and even merch!). Plus, we chat about new moon energy and how it’s the perfect time to reset and take bold action towards new ideas.

In the spirit of self-care and leveling up, we discuss how to approach this winter season—embracing the slow pace of fall, reflecting on the year, and nourishing our bodies with warmth, comfort, and intention. It’s a time to trust the process, reconnect with your north star, and take the necessary steps to evolve spiritually and creatively.

Whether you're looking to reset, set new goals, or simply reflect on the year that was, this episode is your reminder to focus on creating instead of simply consuming.

Tune in for inspiration, tips, and encouragement to stay grounded during the hustle and find clarity in this quieter season.

In this deeply reflective episode, we explore the emotional and physical pain we all experience, and how identifying with it can sometimes make our suffering feel unbearable. Drawing from personal struggles, including illness, imposter syndrome, and loss, we uncover the root of pain through the lens of Patanjali's ancient teachings. Learn how we can detach from our emotions and experiences, and shift our awareness back to the true essence of who we are—beyond the stories we tell ourselves. Join me as I share my journey of overcoming pain through mindfulness, self-awareness, and simple rituals that have kept me grounded. Whether you're recovering from physical pain or emotional turmoil, this episode offers practical tools to help you begin, continue, or complete your healing process.

Tune in to this powerful conversation on how we can move from suffering to self-liberation.

Get ready for a transformative journey with Coffee & Crystals as we explore the power of the last supermoon of the year, under the sign of Taurus. This special full moon invites us to slow down, reconnect with our sense of security and abundance, and reflect on what truly matters. We’ll discuss how the autumn season and its connection to the Metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine can guide us in releasing what no longer serves us. Tune in to gain insights on mental clarity, grounding, and aligning your personal values with your goals during this potent lunar phase. Don’t miss this episode as we prepare for deep reflection and renewal.

In this episode of Coffee and Crystals, I share my reflections following Election Week in West Hollywood and encourage you to think about how you can move forward to support the causes that matter to you. We’ll discuss how to make a meaningful impact within your community and embrace this ‘winter arc’—a critical time for setting and achieving end-of-year goals. I also highlight the importance of working with nonprofits and share opportunities to get involved, from Giving Tuesday to LA Marathon fundraising, and more.
