In Chapters 11–13 of my memoir, When Sex Meets God: A Midlife Unraveling, the story shifts from what I thought was happening to what my body already knew.

Long before my conscious mind was ready to face change, my body was offering clues—subtle signals, sensations, and disruptions that pointed toward an impending midlife unraveling. Rather than listening, I resisted. I stayed focused on what I thought should be happening, while something deeper was trying to emerge into consciousness.

Although the memoir is written as a personal story, it naturally follows Carl Jung’s theory of individuation. In this video, I bring the Jungian psychology that lives beneath the narrative into the foreground, exploring how the body often becomes the first messenger of the psyche’s need for transformation.

This video is for anyone who has:

• Ignored bodily signals they didn’t understand
• Felt “off” without knowing why
• Experienced physical or emotional cues before a major life shift
• Wondered how individuation shows up in real life, not just theory

Your body is not betraying you.
It may be inviting you into the next phase of becoming.

Many people dismiss dream images as random, strange, or meaningless.
But in depth psychology, nothing in a dream appears by accident.

In this video, I share two dreams I had on New Year’s Eve and walk you through how I worked with the images, one by one. Rather than interpreting the dreams as a whole, I explored the individual symbols, followed my personal associations, and noticed what each image was asking me to see.

What emerged wasn’t prediction or fantasy, but confirmation. The dreams reflected that I was on the right path and invited a deeper awareness of how I’m meant to use my gifts.

This video offers a practical glimpse into how seemingly ordinary or fragmented dream images can become doorways to insight, clarity, and inner guidance, especially during moments of transition.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dreams mean anything, or how to work with them without a dream dictionary, this is for you.

As the new year approaches, many of us rush to set goals, make plans, and envision what’s next. But real transformation doesn’t begin with striving—it begins with release.

In this episode, What Must Die Before the New Year Can Begin, I explore the often-overlooked truth that something within us must end before something new can emerge. We can’t become the person who has achieved our goals without allowing an old version of ourselves to fall away.

I share a deeply personal story from ten years ago—listening to Amy Grant’s Mary’s Song and experiencing a soul-shifting moment that taught me to trust what was happening inside me. I also reflect on a recent Christmas night of illness, where leaning into physical pain felt like a sacred shedding, much like a snake releasing its skin.

This episode is an invitation to pause, listen inward, and recognize the difference between trusting the process and knowing it. Before you plan the year, ask yourself: what must be released so the new can truly begin?

Enjoy!

Are you nervous about AI? It may not surprise you to know that AI is currently being used for unethical and illegal purposes. We are in a literal battle for the human soul as some powerful forces seek to merge technology with humans in a way that separates humans from their own connection to consciousness and their innate divine nature. 

In this episode, I bring back my brainy, misfit friend, Sher Griffin, an Autistic, neuroqueer writer and educator. Sher holds a Master’s in Transformative Social Change with an emphasis on Peace and Justice studies and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Transformative Social Change at Saybrook University, exploring the intersection of trauma, autism, and ecological belonging. 

Sher is also the author of Cognitive Ecology: Mapping Your Mind for Self-Understanding and the founder of The Compassion Collective.

Have you ever wondered what's really happening during an ah-ha! moment? 

In this video, I talk about C.G. Jung's concept of the transcendent third. When you can hold the tension between what feels like opposing ideas or forces, eventually, a reconciliation between the two will happen. 

This is exactly what's happening during an ah-ha! moment. 

But what do you do with the insight? Sometimes, the initial liberation is overcome by a kind of buyer's remorse. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy a little instruction along with my reading of a passage from Chapter 6: The Clash of Convention and Liberation. 

Enjoy and please share with others.

Did you come of age in the 1980s? It was a time of great progress for women, but also of violent rhetoric against women's desire for independence. 

This included sexual freedom, too. 

In this video, I share a little about Chapter 4: I Want Sex, including the depth psychology aspect beneath the surface of my story, which is written as a novel.

In this video, I demonstrate how to explore and interpret strange and symbolic dreams using a depth psychology approach.

This dream included a mattress, a dead mouse, multiple dead insects, and even my father — and the meaning behind these symbols genuinely surprised me.

If you’re curious about how to find personal meaning in your own dreams, this step-by-step example will help you see how images from the unconscious can reveal what your psyche is working through.

Listen to learn (or watch on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrbyUBYbKAU):

– How to find all the possible images to explore
– Why a subtle dynamic in a dream often holds the key to a new insight
– How dreams connect to ancestral and collective meaning

My mission is to help you deepen your connection to the unconscious and uncover the hidden messages that shape your life.
