Today's episode is a conversation with a girl after my own heart, Sian Camile.
Sian is a beautiful, soulful woman who truly leads with love and creates spaces for creativity to flourish.
Her presence is comforting and connected & the wisdom of her insights feel like a soothing balm for the soul.
In this episode, we talk about
Whether it's the similarities we share in both being writers, podcast hosts, or having Water, Air, and Earth in our big three (Sian: Cap Sun, Gemini Rising, Cancer Moon / Me: Pisces Sun, Virgo Rising, Aquarius Moon), this episode is an embodiment of Sian & I's kindred spirits.

53 - The Art of Letting Go
42 - Let Yourself Bloom!
Productivity that feels nourishing is rare these days. When quantity out-rules quality, we feel burnt out by the pressure to produce. The tendency to put things off, look to our left and see something "better," and silently stay in our chamber of consumption, rather than creation is far too pervasive in today's age.
So, how do we actually equip ourselves to separate what we want to do from what we "have" to do, create from a place of empowerment, and share our magic with the world? How do we resist the hustle-culture that leads to burnout while also being honest with ourselves about if we're showing up in a way that aligns with our highest self?
On this episode, we take a look at the psychology of perfectionism and discuss ways to overcome the subconscious beliefs and patterns that keep us frozen. Through actionable steps and a mindset shift, we can slowly take aligned action in the every day to set our own standard for success, and silence the inner critic.
(A very fun exercise is included to identify this voice + overcome it!!)

40 - Wake Up! Your Life is Meant to Be Lived!
This episode is for those who have felt, at any point, like they are "too much."
To dim the beautiful bright light in your being to be palatable and digestible for others is an indiscretion to your soul.
We must resist the urge to give into cynicism and nihilism and embrace that life CAN be beautiful, love IS that good, and that we ARE meant to live in joy and trust that flow will guide us.
During this episode, we go on a journey of understanding where cynicism and projection comes from, why we prioritize people pleasing over our own personal power, and what happens when we decide to live rooted in ourselves and connected to our joy.
Life is too short to not believe that it can also be sweet.
We talk:
0:00 - 5:09 - The Psychology of Cynicism + Projection
5:15 - 9:08 - The Negative Impacts of Dimming Your Light
9:08 - 13:01 - Why Animals + Children are Magnets for Attention & Joy
13:01 - 16:00 - The "OF COURSE THEY ARE!" Mindset
16:00 - 19:58 - Letting Yourself Be Seen: Remaining Open to Love vs Toxic Positivity
19:58 - Reprogramming your Mind & Affirmations for Inner/Outer Harmony

38 - Unlocking Our Hearts Potential & Clearing Energetic Blocks
"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body - love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -
over and over announcing your place in the family of things."
'Wild Geese', by Mary Oliver

Growing & Outgrowing: You’re Not Wrong, You’re Just in the Wrong Place
At some point in our lives, we may find ourselves bending and folding ourselves into shapes that are not our own in an exhausting effort to fit in, conform, and get our return on the illusion we bought that told us we'd be happy if we just "did what we were supposed to do."
And too often, when this formula doesn't work for us - we exile ourselves and internalize the confusion of being confused.
We may wonder why we haven’t gotten it right, why we feel so misunderstood.
What we fail to acknowledge is -- that while we try to contort ourselves into a glass half empty - our unique desires, impulses, and dreams are waiting for us to fill our glass full.
Have you ever considered that maybe your life is asking of you something so unique, so particular, and so idiosyncratic to your own individual idiosyncrasies - that only you can hear the call and only you can take the action?
This episode discusses the art of authentic living & the process of embracing our individuality - along with the challenges that come with outgrowing people, places, and things that may have once felt like home.
There are many choices we can make in this world, but the one I can almost promise you will never regret making is choosing yourself.
To choose yourself, you must learn yourself, know yourself, trust yourself - and honor the individual expression that calls in a voice only you can hear.
I believe you have what it takes to do so.
It is your calling, after all.
