In today’s episode, I’m talking about the kind of indecision that drains your peace before it ever touches your bank account.

If you’ve been stuck between “I know better” and “but what if,” this one’s for you.I’m sharing what it actually looks like to leave a version of yourself behind, how to hear the difference between fear and intuition, and why your spirit usually leaves a place before your body does.

Affirmation: I am aware of my interconnectedness to all things.

Ism: If the dots don’t connect, neither will your relationships.

Theme: Our past is always connected to our present — but awareness is what helps us decide what we’ll carry into the future.

Season One is closing out with the most important reminder yet: we are all connected. The truth is, your relationships today didn’t just start today — they were shaped by the lessons, patterns, and blind spots you picked up long before adulthood.

In this season one finale of From the Ground to the Crown, I’m joined by my husband Dean (@ItsDeaneaux | @TheDeanCollective | @TattoosByDeaneaux) and our friends Dave (@DaveIsLegend | @TheMirrorTalks) and Perla (@pur.luh) for a real conversation on interconnectedness — how our upbringing and early life experiences shape the way we relate to others in adulthood. We get into the ways patterns follow us, the blind spots we’ve had to face, and the moments of disconnection that actually made us stronger in relationships.

This episode closes out season one but also lays the foundation for season two — more truth, more awareness, more growing with intention.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your earliest lessons on connection still shape your relationships today
• The blind spots that show up when you don’t connect the dots between past and present
• How to take ownership of your patterns instead of putting them on your partner or friends
• The disconnections that can actually make you better in love and in life

Affirmation: I exude & attract positive energy.

Ism: Light ain’t light until it’s been through the dark.

Theme: Positivity isn’t just “good vibes only” — it’s the magnetic energy that powers the Law of Attraction.

What if I told you positivity isn’t about “good vibes only” and that the people who push that narrative are actually blocking their own blessings?

Everyone thinks positivity means being happy all the time, ignoring problems, and living in a bubble of “light and love.” But here’s the truth: real positivity is forged in the dark. It’s a conscious, faith-fueled choice to align your energy with the reality you want to attract — even when nothing around you matches that vision.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the myths about positivity and showing you how it works as the key to the Law of Attraction. We’ll talk about why your energy is your order form to the universe, how to keep your vibration high even in tough seasons, and why fake positivity will never bring real results. If you’re ready to magnetize your dreams, this is your episode.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why positivity is a vibration, not a mood
• How the Law of Attraction uses your energy to create your reality
• The danger of using positivity as a mask
• Simple ways to keep your vibe high when life gets messy
• How faith bridges the gap between where you are and what you want

Use positive affirmations to help promote spiritual growth. Practice using the power of the mind to help with a mindset shift and enhance manifestation.

Affirmation: I cherish life in this present moment.Ism: The best memories aren’t posted — they’re felt.Theme: Presence is the anchor that turns passing moments into living memories.

Summary:

What if I told you that the biggest thief of your joy isn’t stress, time, or even other people - it’s distraction?

We’ve been told that “if you’re not documenting it, it didn’t happen.”

In this episode, I’m breaking down why that belief robs you of joy, connection, and the real magic of your life. From the mental strain of always being in “observer mode” to the spiritual disconnection it creates, I’m unpacking how over-documenting pulls you away from the moments you’re trying to keep.

We’ll explore how “the powers that be” profit from your distraction, and why the present moment is the ultimate power move for creating, manifesting, and aligning with your highest self. If you’ve been feeling like life is moving too fast or that you’re missing the richness of your own story, this is your reminder to live the memory — not just post it.

• The mental, emotional, and spiritual cost of not being present
• How “the powers that be” benefit from your distraction
• The link between presence, manifestation, and creative power
• Practical tips to anchor yourself in the moment and live more fully

Journal Prompt:

What’s one memory you wish you had lived more and documented less? How can you reclaim that presence in your life today?

Affirmation: “I am worthy of all that life has to offer.”

Ism: If you can’t match my energy, you can’t touch my heart.”

“Love will only meet you at the level of your worth.”

In this raw and vulnerable episode of From the Ground to the Crown, Dean and I are keeping it real about how our past long-term relationships tested our self-worth and the inner work we had to do to rebuild it before we could recognize the love we were truly worthy of and attract each other.

We’ll share the mindset shifts we made to stop dating from scarcity, get clear on what we wanted, and the practices that helped us stop settling and start aligning with love that actually matched our energy.

Whether you’re single and looking or committed and growing, this conversation will help you set a higher worthiness bar, maintain it, and attract (or keep) love that matches your energy.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to recognize when your worth has been diminished in a relationship.
• The mindset and behavior shifts to make before entering a new relationship.
• How do you stop dating from scarcity and start from self-love?
• Practices that protect your worth while staying open to love.
• Practical tips for singles and couples to strengthen their relationship foundation.

Journal Prompt: If the love of your life showed up tomorrow, how would your current way of living show them the value you already see in yourself?

Affirmation: I shine my light bright enough for me.

Ism: You made it through the night to get to the light.

Theme: Owning your light means embracing your darkness and radiating from the inside out.

The “soft life” looks good on the ‘gram—but the truth is, real softness is earned through the hard stuff. In this special birthday-week episode, I’m celebrating the radiant, light-filled version of myself that emerged from seasons of grief, grit, and growth.

I’m sharing how shadow work, deep reflection, and embracing my full self—light and dark—helped me create a glow that’s rooted in truth, not performance. This is your reminder that the brightest light is born from the darkest nights, and your softness will always be more sustainable when you stop avoiding the hard truth.

Who This Episode Is For:

• People chasing the “soft life” without doing the inner work
• Women healing from loss, identity shifts, or life transitions
• Listeners learning to integrate their shadows with their light
• Anyone ready to shine from the inside out without shrinking

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The real meaning of the soft life (beyond aesthetics)

How to tell when you’re avoiding your shadow work

Common reasons we resist “night seasons” in life

Why grief, grit, and growth are essential for lasting radiance

Practical steps to honor your light and your shadow equally

Theme:

This episode is a wake-up call to redefine what it means to be healthy—from the inside out. We’re calling out hustle culture, unpacking toxic wellness narratives, and replacing them with aligned, embodied truth. Health isn’t just about diet and workouts—it’s about energy, boundaries, rest, and the relationship you have with your body.

If you’ve been running on caffeine, deadlines, and “I’ll rest when I’m done” energy, this conversation is your divine intervention. Rest isn’t weakness. It’s not wasted time. And it’s definitely not lazy—it’s the foundation that holds your purpose, your health, and your legacy together.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on hustle culture, breaking up with toxic wellness myths, and learning how to honor the body as a sacred home—not a machine. Whether you’re a high-achiever, a wellness enthusiast, or simply someone whose soul is begging for a pause, you’ll walk away with a renewed vision of health rooted in clarity, rhythm, and deep self-trust.

✨ Who This Episode Is For:

High-achievers who are tired of being tiredWellness girlies who feel disconnected from their bodiesSpiritual folks navigating burnout and purposeAnyone who's glorified hustle culture and is now ready to choose alignment over adrenaline
