In this episode, Sabrina discusses the challenges of reintegrating into existing relationships and the importance of being true to oneself, emphasizing the power of vulnerability and the positive impact it can have on others.

In this episode, I dive deep into the transformative journey of strengthening self-concept and mindset. I share personal insights on overcoming the incessant need for external validation and shedding the weight of others' opinions, evolving from a place of self-doubt to a place of self-love.

I discuss concepts such as context collapse and challenge the notion of experiences being inherently positive or negative, highlighting the power we have in every choice we make and action we take. Drawing from my experience with social media, I discuss how my approach to sharing views has evolved, the struggle with context collapse, and how I’ve been able to follow people who once triggered me and use my jealousy as my inspiration.

This episode offers practical advice for those navigating codependency or struggling with low self-worth, particularly for individuals who are highly attuned to others' emotions and seek validation through recognition. If you are skilled at being hyper-aware and conscious of others and their moods and needs, listen on…

Welcome back for another episode all about defining and achieving personal success, which, as I see it, means living authentically, happily and without shame.

I used to see success as a material or external achievement rather than a personal, internal process. But no matter what it looks like, success is about feeling secure, joyful, and confident, rather than meeting societal standards or a checklist of musts. In my experience, radical honesty and authenticity are key to sustainable success, lessons learned from reflecting on my past…

As you listen on, you’ll hear me share about my engagement and how my perspective on relationships and success has evolved. I also bring up Baby Reindeer and the importance of going socially AWOL. As it pertains to work and career, I share my experience of taking a job for financial security twice with two very different results, I chat about separating the concept of success from job fulfillment, and how finding personal success and fulfillment outside of work is essential.

I offer practical tips for achieving personal success, such as listening to your inner b*tch and dissecting that inner voice. I introduce Dr. Daniel Amen's questions to counteract automatic negative thoughts: "Is this true?" "Can I absolutely know that it's true?" "How do I react when I think that thought?" and "Who would I be without the thought?" Additionally, I incorporate The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz into daily life: Be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, and always do your best.

If you find you are paralyzed by possibilities or succumb to seeking external validation, tune in to reflect on what personal success means and how to foster it in your own life.

Welcome to today’s episode where I explore the symphony of life through the lens of energy and vibration. Everything around us, including ourselves, is composed of energy, resonating at various frequencies. Just like an orchestra, every element of biological life is an ensemble of condensed energetic vibrations, meticulously organized into atoms that are in perpetual motion.

From solids to liquids to gases, the states of matter we observe in the natural world are manifestations of these atomic vibrations. This dynamic is not just a characteristic of the world around us but is intrinsic to our very being. Our bodies are an intricate collection of live organs, tissues, and cells, all demonstrating properties of both particles and waves. The frequencies and vibrations we interact with can influence these elements, potentially leading to changes in their states.

In this episode, I delve deep into how these vibrations shape our health, influence our environment, and explore how we can harness them to enhance our well-being. I'll cover the basics of our chakra system, the history of sound healing, cymatics, the controversial switch from 432hz to 440hz by the Rockefeller Foundation, the destruction of ancient bells, humming and the healing power of using your own voice, binaural beats, and how frequency manipulation occurs through computer and television monitors. Additionally, I'll explain how to use Rife Frequencies to abolish disease and Prime Resonance Frequencies to enhance mood, well-being, and health, share modern creators, and so much more.
