Delicious Dignity

In this episode, I go over the specific things I do — and don’t do — in the name of beauty. I definitely don’t fit the standard mold, but I’ve found ways to care for myself that genuinely make me feel beautiful — grounded in clean beauty, not pressure. If you're seeking a more conscious, compassionate approach to aging well, this is for you.

Here’s what I get into:

1. 12 stereotypical beauty practices that have worked really well for me — from specific supplements to castor oil to Pilates to body modifications
2. 11 things I’ve let go of that made me more beautiful — including birth control, the news, and social media
3. 17 unusual, less conventional practices that support my beauty — like clean water, sunlight, and energy work
4. One small step to get out of the toxicity of the beauty industry
5. A ritual to help you craft your own beauty regimen — rooted in holistic self-care and mental clarity

If you’ve ever felt at odds with the beauty industry — confused by the changing tides of aesthetic trends, surprised by how your body is aging, heartbroken by the pressure to stay “youthful,” or simply tired of poking and prodding at your own face and body......(phew!) this one’s for you. If you’ve ever felt like the beauty industry doesn’t speak to your spirit, you’re not alone.

Here’s what I get into:

1. The early influences and life events that shaped my beliefs around beauty
2. The physical changes that caught me off guard in my 30s — and how I’m handling them
3. My big revelation about protein
4. The contradiction of seeing signs of aging while feeling like I'm aging backwards
5. The strange grief that comes with realizing how much of ourselves we’re expected to edit — and the moment I started grieving what the beauty industry had become

In the next episode, I’ll share the specific things I’ve kept from the beauty industry — and what I’ve let go of — that have actually made me feel more beautiful.

If you’ve ever sensed something was off in spiritual spaces—but couldn’t quite name it—this episode is for you. I share what made me quietly step away from a version of spirituality that started to feel more performative, judgmental, and patriarchal than freeing. Less of takedown and more of a pivot.....I took what helped, left the rest, and went deeper in my own work.

Here’s what I cover:

1. 9 observations that made me step away: cruelty and judgment, weaponized empathy, specialness, emotional volatility, guru worship, lack of humor, confusing anxiety for intuition, money woes, spiritual consumerism, cultural appropriation, hyper-individualism, and false community. 
2. How these patterns show up not just in new age spaces—but in other systems/cultures too (corporate, religious, medical, therapeutic, etc)
3. What I took from the new age community - teachings, concepts, and tools.
4. What I do now - spiritual practice wise
5. The ritual: A System Pivot Ritual – Unfollow With Love

This is an episode of the Love Liberation Series (LLS), and it’s all about two objects I absolutely adore. 

I share the funny, unexpected ways they came into my life (or maybe how they found me), what they’ve come to mean over time — and end with a short and sweet ritual contemplation. 

It’s a lighthearted glimpse into symbolic meaning, spiritual practice, and self-expression.

Love Liberation Series (LLS) is my way of celebrating what I love — no holding back. It’s a joyful rebellion against toning down, hiding, or apologizing for what lights us up. Want the full backstory? Listen to Episode 6!

Let's face it - other people can quickly dull our dignity, if we let them. If you’ve ever felt gutted, confused, or shut down after someone’s comment — this one’s for you! If you’ve ever felt torn between your own truth and someone’s unsolicited opinion, this one’s for you cutie pie! If you've ever thought "is this me?" or "is this them?", you guessed it...this one’s for you!

Not all feedback is worth receiving. Not all criticism is created equal.

This episode is where we go over how to build strong boundaries - emotional, psychological, & spiritual. If you're navigating identity shifts, putting your work out there, or doing anything different, this is a must-listen for your mental health and mental clarity.

Here's the outline:

1. Why we must build powers of discernment - perception vs projection
2. 3 major truths about the reality of giving and receiving feedback/criticism
3. A piercing (& maybe slightly uncomfortable 😉) analysis of who gets to give you feedback and why
4. Top 3 questions you should ask yourself about the person giving you feedback
5. A thorough analysis of what constitutes as feedback and what doesn't
6. Best ways to respond to both valid and invalid feedback

This one’s for the wild ones! The ones who hear Spirit in laughter, sensuality, and lightning. 

In this thunderous and wildly irreverent episode, I share the story of how I went from doubting my own spiritual instincts to finally claiming them in all their messy, holy glory.

This episode occurs in the context of the new age world. And even if you’ve never been part of the new age world, this entertaining story gives you examples of what it really means to own your authenticity. 

Here’s the episode's outline:

1. Funny events that transpired as I spent years trying to perform “acceptable” intuition/spirituality, only to feel more confused
2. 3 dysfunctional questions I kept asking myself
3. THE defining characteristic of true spirituality
4. Spirit speaks your love language
5. Potato Spirituality: Aka there is such a thing as a style of enlightenment
6. The feminine face of god, wrathful divinity, and real compassion

This is the inaugural episode of the Love Liberation series - every 5th episode or so, I’ll be declaring my love for something or someone, no holding back. 

This series is a rebellion against the ways we’ve been taught to tone down our joy (or eliminate it altogether), hide our passions, & apologize for being lit up. Because when we hold back our love, we dim ourselves—and that’s a form of self-rejection. 

In this episode, I unpack the cost of suppression, the power of sincerity, and the freedom of letting yourself love what you love. We end with a three-part ritual to tune into your own heart’s voice.

Outline of this episode:

1. Introduction to a new series within the podcast - the Love Liberation Series!
2. Consequences of holding back on what you love
3. Why we hold back from saying what we love out loud aka self-rejection
4. How to know you've been holding back on your love
5. Wild Geese by Mary Oliver as inspiration for this series
6. A sure-fire way to know what it is that you truly love 
7. 3 part ritual to attuning to your heart
   • taking stock
   • difference between heart and head energy
   • bespoke heart words

What if a lot of what makes you successful (your ambition, working hard, your ability to do it all) was like a silent but deadly fart?

In this (slightly uncomfortably) candid episode, I share the story of how I finally woke up from hustle culture. SPOILER ALERT - It only took me a casual 2 decades. From my days as a tireless immigrant student chasing every opportunity, to the burnout that followed me across jobs, cities, and even my own business—I lay it all out.

But the real turning point? Getting fired from a job I didn’t even need. Ha! 

Here’s the episode outline:

1. Defining hustle culture - what to look for when assessing where you stand in the matrix (if you'd like a checklist of these behaviors, you can find them here)
2. Defining 'feeling good' as the opposite (or perhaps more balanced) replacement for hustling
3. The signs of dysfunctional achieving vs functional efforting
4. The long arc of overachieving and the price I paid for it: from 17 years old to now (35 years old)
5. Learning the hard way in every area of my life: relationships, jobs, mentors, courses, etc. 
6. When pushing became a pattern, even in my spiritual business
7. THE GRAND FINALE - the comically dysfunctional workplace that finally mirrored back the true cost of over-efforting

The next episode is the part 2 finale of the hustle culture series. This is where I reflect on my experiments with feeling good (instead of hustling) in 2025 and present some rituals for you around waking up from hustling. 

Here is a checklist to identify hustle culture behaviors. The goal of this list is to identify hurtful behaviors you maybe engaging in, so that you can bring them more into balance
