  • Ep.63 – Honoring The Season You're In

    As beings of nature, we experience cycles and seasons in which we grow, harvest, rest, and bloom. However, capitalism had a different idea. Instead of following the seasons and their different energetic requirements, we now face burnout and frustration trying to keep up with creating and producing 24/7. Not only is this unhealthy for our well-being, but it's also against the natural flow of nature. In this episode, I share my recent experience with becoming aware of my own burnout and relationship to productivity.

    Join us in this episode to hear how I manifested my first festival gig! There's a lot of buzz going around lately about "manifestation" but I discovered through faith & inspired action that I could make my dreams come true.. LITERALLY. Listen in as I share my experience getting clear on my goal, trusting that it would come to fruition (if it was truly meant for me), what it was like to wait nearly 10 months in limbo, and how I got to play the Incendia fire dome at my hometown festival!

    You'll hear me talk about:

    • writing down my initial goal in January 2021
    • getting little hints about what was to come
    • listening to all the doubts and fears come in full force
    • the challenges of trusting and waiting in the dark
    • how I took inspired action even when my brain was telling me otherwise
    • what I learned manifestation truly requires
    • the most magical weekend of my life!

      • Ep.60 – Living With Cystic Fibrosis, Embracing Vulnerability, and the Road to Healing With Luisa Palazola

        I'm super excited to bring you this episode, featuring an interview with my friend, Luisa Palazola.

        Having been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at a young age, Luisa has dealt with many challenges and obstacles that some of us will never face, like countless hospital visits, breathing treatments, and keeping up with what society deems "normal". She shares her story with so much vibrance, humor, and authenticity despite the rough couple of decades in her rearview mirror. Now that her life has taken a complete 180, she discusses reevaluating her identity, learning to embrace her not-so-perfect parts, and the importance of vulnerability as human beings.

        In this episode, Luisa and I talk about

        • living with cystic fibrosis (from diagnosis to now)
        • identity as a fluid construct
        • embracing vulnerability + authenticity
        • mind-body connection
        • doing things the "right" way
        • chronic illness + mental health
        • learning to carry shame (self-imposed + societal expectations)
        • importance of trusting yourself
        • practicing gratitude

        • Ep.59 – Cultivating Peace From Within

          In times of chaos, it seems nearly impossible to find peace. But when we can understand the biological reaction that is happening in times of fear and danger, we can actually tap into the natural rhythms and processes of our body. In this episode, we talk about the basic neuroscience behind danger, reactivating relaxing body states, and ways that we can find our way back to baseline.

        • Ep.57 – Tending to the Garden of Your Mind

          We all were given a garden when we were born, but what if we don't know what the heck to do with it? Who thought it was a good idea to give a baby a garden?!

          In this episode, we talk about the visual metaphor, commonly used in Buddhist philosophy, of the garden that is of your mind. It's a helpful parallel when thinking about our thoughts as seeds, how they got planted, and why it's so necessary to keep up with our garden to ensure a healthy and happy environment for all that is growing there. Find out how to take back control of your garden, pull the weeds that are holding you back, and plant beautiful seeds to help you build your dreams!

        • Ep.56 – It's Time to Spring Forward

          In this episode, I share my recent experiences over the last month or so that I've taken a baby hiatus. Keeping myself accountable and holding myself to extreme standards ride a fine line, and I've been navigating what it means to compassionately guide yourself through the darkness. The transitions in my life have most definitely been paralleling the changes outside my window, and as always, the seasons have been helping me reflect on guidance and wisdom. Spring is here to wake us up, but don't let that discourage you. We needed the winter to rest and rejuvenate so that we may now bloom and shine all season long.

        • Ep.54 – Finding Strength in Forgiveness

          At some point in our lives, we are going to have to navigate forgiveness, whether it's with another person or with ourselves. It's not always the easiest process to go through, especially when you have been caused some intense pain. In this episode, I share my personal experience with forgiveness, compassion, and some steps to take when healing ourselves of the hurt we've faced.
