This meditation is an invitation to return to yourself with tenderness, patience, and understanding. Through gentle guidance and mindful awareness, you’ll learn to soften the inner critic, hold your emotions with care, and create space for kindness to flow inward.

Self-compassion is not about ignoring challenges or pretending everything is okay. It’s about meeting your experience with honesty and warmth, the way you would comfort someone you love. In this practice, you’ll be guided to slow down, breathe deeply, and acknowledge your feelings with acceptance and grace.

This meditation supports you in building an inner foundation of safety and compassion—so you can move through life with more resilience, clarity, and love for yourself.

Breakups can feel like withdrawal — the constant craving, the obsessive thoughts, the ache that won’t go away. In this heartfelt and grounded conversation, Scarlett sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Cortney Warren, author of Letting Go of Your Ex: CBT Skills to Heal the Pain of a Breakup and Overcome Love Addiction, to talk about what really happens when love ends and how to find your way back to yourself.

Together, they explore:

• Why breakups can feel like an addiction — and how to interrupt the cycle

• How core beliefs and early attachment patterns shape the pain of heartbreak

• What to do when you can’t stop thinking about your ex

• Tools to manage urges, triggers, and rumination

• How to rebuild your identity after a breakup

• When (and if) it’s healthy to reconnect with an ex

• The role of self-compassion in healing and moving forward

Whether you’re freshly heartbroken, years out from a relationship you can’t quite release, or simply curious about the psychology of love and letting go — this episode offers both science and soul.

When you’re anxiously attached, your mind can sometimes feel like it’s working against you — spinning stories, predicting worst-case scenarios, and doubting yourself in relationships. In this episode of The Healing Energy Collective, we’ll explore three common cognitive distortions that often show up in anxious attachment: jumping to conclusions, catastrophizing, and all-or-nothing thinking.

You’ll learn what each distortion is, why they happen, and how they impact your relationships. Most importantly, we’ll walk through therapeutic skills, inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to challenge and reframe these unhelpful thoughts.

By the end, you’ll have practical tools you can use the next time your mind gets caught in a spiral — and a deeper sense of compassion for yourself as you untangle old patterns.

In this episode, we take a closer look at Season 9 of Love Is Blind through a therapeutic lens. As a counselor in training, I’m not here to diagnose or pathologize anyone — but rather to explore the emotional dynamics, attachment styles, and communication patterns that play out in relationships we see on screen (and often, in real life).

We’ll talk about what happens when fear, avoidance, or unmet needs shape how we love — and how awareness, compassion, and emotional regulation can help us connect more authentically.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most talked about—and misunderstood—mental health conditions. With conversations around self-diagnosis and “favorite person” dynamics all over social media, it can be difficult to separate fact from assumption.

In this episode, Scarlett sits down with Dr. Jerold Kreisman, psychiatrist and author of numerous books, to bring clarity and compassion to the topic of BPD. Together, they explore:

• What BPD really is—and what it isn’t
• How BPD differs from anxious attachment or loving intensely
• The concept of a “favorite person” and how it plays out in relationships
• Differences in how BPD shows up in men vs. women
• The impact of social media on self-diagnosis and understanding mental health
• Hopeful paths forward for healing and support

Whether you live with BPD, love someone who does, or simply want to learn from one of the world’s leading experts, this episode offers tools and perspective for navigating one of the most complex human experiences.

I Hate You, Don't Leave Me

Sometimes I Act Crazy

Talking to a Loved One with Borderline Personality Disorder

Sometimes the most powerful moments of presence happen in the smallest pauses.

In this short, guided mindfulness meditation, you’ll take 7 minutes to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself — no matter where you are or how busy your day feels.
Whether you’re between meetings, on your lunch break, or winding down before bed, this practice is your invitation to soften back into the here and now.

Even a few conscious breaths can shift your nervous system, quiet the noise of the mind, and bring you home to your body.

Take this time for you — a mindful pause to reset, realign, and remember: you are allowed to rest, even for a moment. 

If you’d like to deepen your practice, you can explore guided sound baths, breathwork, and yoga rituals inside The Healing Energy Collective Membership — each one designed to help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your peace.

In this compassionate episode of The Healing Energy Collective, I explore how to heal after betrayal and begin trusting again.

When you’ve been cheated on, the pain often goes deeper than the loss of the relationship — it can fracture your self-trust and create painful beliefs about your worth and safety.

Through gentle reflection and a guided RAIN meditation (3:10), I help you release blame, reconnect to self-compassion, and begin rebuilding trust from within.

Whether the betrayal is fresh or years behind you, this episode offers space to process the hurt and open your heart again with mindfulness and grace.

In this episode, I sit down with Human Design consultant and conscious business coach Natania Setyadi to explore how we can work with Human Design to live more alignment, clarity and ease.

Together, we talk about the pressure of "manifesting," why abundance isn't about forcing or thinking positively enough, and how Human Design can be a tool for self-trust and navigating decisions in everyday life.

This conversation offers a different perspective on abundance; one that's less about chasing or proving, and more about attuning to your unique energy and flow.

So often we think our emotions are complicated, deep, or endless when in reality, many of our hardest days are tied to unmet basic needs. Sleep, hydration, food, movement, and sunlight may seem simple, but they play a powerful role in emotional regulation. In this episode of Healing Energy Collective, I share how tending to these “vulnerability factors” can change how you feel, why neglecting them can amplify sadness or anxiety, and how mindfulness helps you tune into what your body actually needs.

Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, daily stress, or simply wanting to feel more grounded, this episode will remind you that small acts of care have a big impact.

In this episode of The Healing Energy Collective, we’re exploring one of the most overlooked but essential foundations of healthy relationships—listening and validation. So often in life we give to others through our work, responsibilities, and roles, and our closest relationships become our safe place to land. But when our emotions are dismissed, minimized, or met with quick-fix solutions, it can leave us feeling unseen and alone.

Together, we’ll talk about why emotions aren’t problems to solve, but experiences to witness and honor. You’ll learn how validation softens emotional intensity, why “you should” is one of the most damaging phrases in relationships, and how small shifts in communication—like naming an emotion—can create deep understanding and connection.

We’ll also cover common pitfalls, like listening to reply instead of listening to understand, and why bypassing emotions often makes them resurface even stronger (like an inflated beach ball under water). You’ll leave this episode with practical tools for cultivating more mindful, compassionate communication in all your relationships—whether romantic, professional, or personal.
