  • How I Got and Stay Sober

    My intention with this episode is to help others see that addiction can be overcome. The years it took me to finally get to sobriety, were some of the best years for my growth and development, and now I'm sharing all I learned with you.

    In this episode I discuss;

    • How my addiction started
    • Yo-yo sobriety
    • What other areas in my life addiction showed up
    • WHAT & HOW I actually stay sober
    • How identity work changed the game
    • Hierarchy of Change
    • Energetics of alcohol and entity attachments
    • Getting comfortable being uncomfortable
    • Discovering my true why

    THE HARD QUESTIONS:

    Why did I start my addiction, and where did it become an addiction and not just a habit?

    Why can't I stop? Why do I want to stop?

    What am I avoiding through this addiction?

    What is my addiction taking away from me?

    Where will I be if I keep letting my addiction control my life?

    For me it was alcohol, however addictions can show up in many ways. Just as an example; Sugar, social media, toxic relationships, spending recklessly, gambling, hurting yourself, and so much more.

    This is not a substitute for medical advice and strictly my own personal experience. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please contact a medical professional you trust.

  • Feel to Heal

    We are all on a path to healing. Some from physical pain, others emotional or spiritual. Perhaps for some, all of these things are true at once. In this episode, special guest Lauren Eliz Love shares an incredible healing story and a moving encouragement that “you have to feel to heal.” Listen in as we talk about tools for self-healing, healing as an immersive experience, plant medicine, our relationship with food, and how suffering and pain are not actually the same. Let your body, mind, and spirit dive into the vulnerabilities crucial to your own transformation so that you, my love, can feel to heal.

  • Competition and The Spiritual Ego

    Society has engrained in us that in order to be successful we must be the best, and that if we share the light with others, there will not be enough for us. This is a lie, a lie that perpetuates the mentality of lack. The spiritual community is not immune to such illusions and shows up frequently. It is up to each and every one of us to overcome this false belief in order to thrive as a whole. Each of us standing in our power and celebrating our gifts will help raise and lift the planet as a whole. To bring heaven on earth we must first recognize where we are holding ourselves, and each, other back. Conversations like these can be uncomfortable, yet so rewarding for our own personal and collective development.

  • Pouring from an Empty Cup

    There's so much happening in the world right now. Remembering that the external is a reflection of the internal, can help us find peace in a storm. How we take care of ourselves will reflect in how we take care of our communities, and the world as a whole. Join me for an introspective conversation around the power of small rituals, how we show up in the world, and spiritual warfare.
