Those who know me know I've always been a big journaler...so today I'm here to share the psychological and spiritual benefits of prioritizing a journaling practice! Inspired by Julia Cameron's "Morning Pages", journaling reaps benefits from enhancing creativity, promoting emotional intelligence, reducing distress & illness, and so much more.

Protecting our own energy is both scientifically and spiritually necessary to maintain the happiest and healthiest versions of ourselves. In such an overstimulating world, there are many outside sources in which our energy can get drained. In this week's episode I discuss protecting ourselves from energy vampires and what to do when you need a good energy cleanse. From sage burning to crystal healing to water cleansing, there are lots of things we can do to recharge our own energy fields - and yes, there's a science behind all this as well!

So...you're in a funk. Things aren't going as planned and the temptation to complain is higher than ever. Without judging yourself for being in a lower vibrational state than you'd like, let's get curious about it! Negativity spirals are easy to fall into, especially when we're living in a hypervigilant state. In this week's episode I dive into new coping mechanisms we can lean on to re-regulate ourselves such as thought redirection, vagus nerve stimulation, and open communication with trusted loved ones to find new perspectives. A funk is just that - funky, uncomfortable, annoying - but in the words of Jinx Monsoon - it's just water off a duck's back! We can redirect our energy back to the higher vibration we deserve to thrive in.

Judgment in our society is at an all-time high. If you find yourself being frequently judgmental, you're not alone. But what if we redirected the energy we're using on judging others and ourselves and channeled it into love? Certain judgment may protect us from danger from an evolutionary standpoint, but this week I focus on how we can redirect the energy we use to judge that doesn't serve us. Join me as I encourage us become more curious about our judgmental patterns. Freedom lies in acceptance of simply what is.

Productivity and hustle culture, "grind or go home", I'm assuming you're all too familiar? In this week's episode I unpack why overworking ourselves can be toxic. If you feel guilty for resting, saying 'no', or taking time for yourself, you're not alone. But human bodies were indeed designed to rest, and relaxing is not something that we have to earn! When we're aligned with ourselves and our bodies, when we're rested, recuperated, and wholehearted, we end up being MORE productive in the long run. You can't pour into other people's cups if your cup is empty.

As humans, it's in our nature to overly attach to things, people, expectations, outcomes. But our need to control and our difficulty with detaching stems from fear rooted in the ego. While it's natural to resist change, beautiful and joyful new experiences and relationships are waiting to come into our lives - however, it's our job to make space for them. In this episode I discuss the psychology behind control, attachment, and resistance towards letting go, and how we can move through this resistance to find peace with the unknown. Through some of my favorite metaphors, I share that when we learn to let go with love, we make room for the things that are meant for us to enter our lives.

We're human, so we mindlessly scroll on social media, comparing ourselves to others seemingly happier, cooler, richer, more talented, you name it. But we can stop this self-esteem lowering cycle before it starts when we focus our energy on US, our own happiness, and reaching for support from healthy role models. On this week's episode (suggested by listener Kevin K.!), I dive into the psychology of comparison, the detriments of jealousy, and how we can reclaim our power by consciously choosing to define our own success and happiness. Everyone is on their own individual journey in this life, perfectly crafted for them. Comparing ourselves to others never tells the full story.

When asked directly and rooted in the highest intentions, receiving signs from the universe can be an ultimate form of surrender, trust, and guidance. On this week's episode I share some personal stories about the signs I've asked for and received in my own life and I chat about why asking for signs is so meaningful to me. I cover how exactly we can ask for and receive signs, and I share some brief symbolism behind angel numbers as well.

So, if you're looking for a sign to start asking for signs...THIS IS IT! Everything is always working out for us, and the universe is always trying to guide you in the right direction - we just have to be willing to accept and embrace the guidance.

Have you always been told that 'you're too sensitive'? Well there's a scientific term for that; you may be a Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP for short! On this week's episode we discuss psychologist Elaine Aron's research on the neurotypical 15-20% of the population that are classified as highly sensitive individuals. If you relate to traits such as:

then you probably fall under this category - so let's learn more about how we can go about our lives embracing our sensitivity as a gift.

Toxic positivity culture, while rooted in good intentions, actually does far more harm than good. In this week's episode I unpack the differences between toxic positivity and genuine optimism, discuss the psychology behind our negative thought patterns, and suggest ways to lean into a more authentic positive mindset through empathetic connection building. I also uncover the psychological benefits to utilizing positive affirmation trains, while giving tips on how to craft affirmations that feel right for you. There is so much power behind positivity - but a safe, happy, and authentic environment can only be fostered through empathy.
