    Merry Christmas, y'all! I thought I would do a fun little 12 days of Christmas vibe and post the 12 episodes of HTP season 2 in the span of... the 12 days following Xmas. Soooo, surprise! 

    In this episode, I share a little bit about where I am in my journey as a Financial Strategist, surrendering to the flow of life, and finding play in all of it.

  • Champ Parinya - The Art of Memes, The Great Awakening Map, Jester Archetype, Consumerism vs Creating, and Meditation (S2: E1)
    Champ and I discuss memes as a tool for awakening, the mindset of consuming content vs creating, the Great Awakening Map, and so much more. 
    If you aren't already familiar with Champ through his Instagram (@5D_ Awakening_Consciousness), then you've undoubtedly seen his Great Awakening Map floating around conscious circles on the internet. Champ created the Great Awakening Map in 2018 at the end of his 10-year career as a successful visual artist in Los Angeles, CA. Nowadays, he is a devotee of Dzogchen, living full-time at a meditation center in Thailand, while blessing the internet with his wisdom and mastery via memes.
    Every conversation I have with Champ is a breath of fresh air, especially since he possesses a grounded perspective as a dedicated yogi and meditator of many years. I hope you all find as much value from this episode as I did while recording it (and as I continue to while re-listening).
    A massive thank you to Champ for taking time out of the hustle and bustle of his yogi meditator lifestyle to chat with me. ;)

  • Toni Nagy - Dance and Movement Therapy, Play in Polyamory, Societal Norms as Restrictions on Expression, and Healing through Art (S1: E8)

    Toni Nagy, everyone's favorite movin' and goovin' TikToker, came on the podcast to chat about her journey with creativity and self-expression. I first found Toni on TikTok through her movement videos in which she discussed current events in the world through a dance flow. It was incredibly refreshing to see someone take such a lighthearted approach when discussing heavy topics, and her 280K+ TikTok followers agree!

    However, Toni's journey as an artist, dancer, and creator started way before her TikToks went viral -- she has been a comedian for many years and has completed a variety of projects in which she pokes fun at the world while making insightful cultural commentary. 

    I absolutely adored speaking with Toni on this episode and loved the ADHD banter that went all over the place. I hope you all give her a follow and watch her hilarious TikToks -- she's definitely a thought leader in my eyes and I'm grateful to be connected with her.
