In lesson four you'll learn how to discern between the voice of the ego and the voice of the soul by working inside your heart center. Rather than thinking your way into clarity, you'll discover how your inner landscape reveals the energetic difference between fear and truth. You'll explore the qualities of ego and soul as archetypal forces within you, learn how they feel inside your inner realm, and understand the dance between them. This lesson teaches you how to bring situations from your outer life into your heart center for clarity, compassion, and soul-led direction.

In lesson three you're guided fully into your inner realm — the living landscape within your heart center. You'll prepare your body by lying close to the earth, grounding into your breath, and softening into receptivity. Through breath, visualization, and the spiral of light in your heart, you'll cross the veil into your landscape, explore its elements, and meet a helping spirit animal or guide. This journey helps you receive symbols, colors, sensations, and intuitive messages from your soul. Afterward, you'll process through journaling or art to honor what emerged.

In lesson two you'll learn how your inner world communicates through symbolic imagery, sensation, energy, and intuitive knowing. We explore elemental landscapes, colors, emotions, animals, guides, and the ways your heart will speak to you. You'll discover how visioning works, why nothing you see is "made up," and how to trust whatever arises — whether vivid, subtle, somatic, or symbolic. This lesson prepares you for your first embodied journey into the "other realm" of your great within in the next session.

In the first lesson you'll learn how the heart center serves as the gateway to your inner world — the place where intuition, clarity, and your soul's voice become accessible. We explore why the mind alone can't reveal deeper truth, how the heart communicates through visioning and sensation, and why this inner realm becomes the foundation for healing, self-trust, and spiritual connection throughout the course.

Through heart-centered visioning practices, guided inner exploration, and embodied teachings, you will learn how to:
Codependency is often the habit of leaving yourself to stay connected to someone else. It can look like over-functioning, people-pleasing, hypervigilance, controlling, fixing, rescuing—anything to create safety through the external world.
But healing codependency isn't just changing behavior.
It's rebuilding the inner relationship that was interrupted: self-trust, nervous system safety, and the ability to stay with yourself when something feels uncertain, uncomfortable, or emotionally risky.
Most of us spend our lives looking outside of ourselves for clarity—seeking answers, guidance, and spiritual connection from the world around us. But the deepest truth, the clearest direction, and the most reliable wisdom you will ever receive lives within you.
This course is designed to help you access that inner world.

By the end of this course, you will know how to step into your heart center, listen to its guidance, and use this inner realm as a source of clarity, grounding, intuition, and spiritual connection. You will walk away with a reliable practice for accessing your own wisdom—again and again.
This is a journey into the great within. And it begins here.

A Compassionate Guide To Understanding The Patterns That Once Protected You
Whether you know the C-word, "Codependency,"and feel ready for this book, or the word itself makes you recoil from it like a hot flame, I promise this journey will surprise you, and hopefully inspire you to pass it on to a friend. Codependency is often misunderstood. It is not just people-pleasing or insecurity, it lives on a spectrum that almost everyone dances on. It shows up in the one who over-gives and the one who withdraws, in the perfectionist, the caretaker, the person who stays guarded, and the one who has spent years abandoning themselves to keep the peace. If you have ever related to others from a place of fear rather than authenticity, this book was written for you. Inspired by the author's beloved Healing Our Relationships podcast, this workbook draws from eighteen years of lived spiritual exploration. The workbook does not ask you to see yourself as broken, or to become someone better, but simply to remember and return to the authentic truth of who you already are. Through a lens of compassionate curiosity you will explore five core areas of codependent patterns, patterns many of us adapted to survive when our needs, feelings, and truth felt unsafe to express. Each area is explored through a five-step inquiry process that reveals the pattern, honors its origin, acknowledges the cost, and re-orients you towards new possibilities. Then, it brings it all into the practice of daily life. This is where the mind stops running old patterns on autopilot, the nervous system begins to heal, and you reclaim the power of choice. You are not here to judge yourself or label yourself as being codependent. You are here to honor what once protected you and to reclaim the parts of yourself that got lost along the way. If you have spent years abandoning yourself, shape-shifting for others, staying walled off or emotionally unavailable, or repeating painful relationship patterns, this is your invitation back to the most important relationship of all- the one you have with yourself.

Our final episode of Season One is inspired by Lily Allen's West End Girl. This is not a pop-psych analysis or an attempt to interpret the artist's life or relationship. I'm bringing this album into our space as a mirror for the work we have been doing here.
As I listened to West End Girl, I noticed how much it stirred in my own healing work. The linear and direct way she shares her experience feels potent, and the record spread so widely because it's deeply relatable. When we approach another person's experience with awareness, it can reveal something essential about our own.
Inside this episode, we move into the heart of some of the most painful and often misunderstood patterns in relational healing:
saying yes when we mean no
staying in situations that hurt because we're afraid to lose connection
suppressing our truth to stay safe
rumination as an attempt to feel in control
and the quiet self-abuse that shows up as shame, self-hate, and self-abandonment
More than anything, this episode is about recognizing how we relate to ourselves inside relational pain — how quickly we blame ourselves, disappear, or try to control the outcome through self-abandonement — and how awareness becomes the turning point. Not by fixing the pattern, but by noticing and interrupting the moment we begin abandon ourselves to keep ourselves safe.
This is an invitation into awareness, compassion, and embodied self-honesty. Not to rush change or force resolution, but to stay present long enough for something deeper to shift — and to begin healing your relationship to self from that place.
As we close this season, I invite you to practice one thing: stay. Stay with your truth. Stay with your body. Stay with the moment you want to disappear or attack yourself. That choice — again and again — is where the healing begins.
If you are new here-go back to episde one. I invite you on a linear journey to come into a deeper relationship to yourself.

Today I have someone incredibly special with me. Not just a renowned Toltec Master of Transformation, not just a teacher or an author, but a dear friend to me and to everyone he meets.
don José Ruiz is a Toltec Master, a storyteller, the author of The Fifth Agreement, Ripples of Wisdom, and My Good Friend the Rattlesnake. He's a speaker, a devoted vegan, a coffee lover, and someone who has dedicated his life to translating ancient Toltec wisdom into practical teachings that bring more truth, love, and personal freedom into the world.
But beyond all of that... José is someone who embodies unconditional love. He walks through the world in a way that makes people light up when they see him. His presence softens defenses. His humor and humility make the teachings feel accessible. And the way he loves openly, generously, and without condition is medicine this world desperately needs more of.
José shares his own personal story, the obstacles he has worked to overcome, his journey inside of relationships and addiction. He will inspire you to remember you are more than your human experience. You are infinite, and you have the power to create the life of your dreams. You have the power and courage to love yourself and soften to love others and the world around you, even if you do not agree with their personal dream.
This conversation is unscripted and straight from the heart. No planned questions. No performance. Just two friends sharing truth, laughing, exploring, and letting the moment guide us.
I'm so honored to share this space with him, and I hope you feel the love, the freedom, and the permission that José naturally awakens in everyone he meets.
*Content note: This episode includes a brief reference to sexual abuse. Please prioritize your emotional well-being as you listen.
Let's dive in.

Yes — there are many people in this world you could be in a relationship with. There is no shortage of potential partners. But when you are struggling inside your relationship, when there is fear, insecurity, reactivity, shutting down, chasing, or any kind of trauma response, the idea that there's "someone better out there" doesn't empower you. It actually pulls you further away from yourself. It keeps you externally focused instead of internally connected.
For someone who is living inside anxiety, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, avoidance, perfectionism, or the pattern of running every time things get hard… the message "you deserve better, go find it" becomes another way to disconnect from yourself. It reinforces the belief that your healing lives outside of you. That someone else will come along and soothe everything you haven't yet learned how to hold within yourself.
And that is where this narrative becomes harmful.
Because it pushes people into the next relationship without ever stopping to understand:
why they choose who they choose
what part of them gets activated, frightened, or shut down
what version of themselves takes over when things feel threatening
what need in them keeps going unmet, and why
what patterns they are replaying from their childhood or past
what agreements or beliefs about love they are still living inside of
Without that awareness, leaving doesn't create clarity, it creates repetition.
If someone leaves without doing their inner work, they don't "find better." They find a new person to run the same patterns with.
They carry the same wound into the next connection. They carry the same fear into the next dynamic. They bring the same unspoken needs, the same unhealed parts, the same survival strategies — and eventually, those patterns show up again, no matter how different the new partner seems at first.
And because the beginning of a relationship feels exciting, hopeful, intoxicating… people mistake that dopamine rush for healing. They mistake the quiet of a new connection for safety. They mistake difference for evolution.
But when the high wears off, when the nervous system settles, the same wounds come forward. And the cycle repeats.
So when I say that "go find better" is harmful, this is what I mean: it seduces you into believing that your healing is waiting for you in someone else, instead of waiting for you in you. It distracts you from the work that actually changes your patterns. And it prevents you from looking at the version of yourself that keeps showing up in your relationships, over and over again.
You don't break the cycle by finding someone new. You break the cycle by coming home to yourself.

Welcome back to Healing Our Relationships. This episode dives into the space between who you have been and who you are becoming. The bridge is the place where awareness meets embodiment, where intent becomes practice and where the real transformation happens.
On one side of that bridge is the familiar self, the one who moves from the patterns of codependency that keep them "safe" to avoid pain, the side that is often built on the foundation of fear. Fear of not being good enough, not doing right or fear of truly being seen. On the other side of the bridge is what it looks like when you are living as your authentic self. It is here, on the bridge, it can be really uncomfortable, but where the real lasting healing and growth happens. It is in that walk across when the relationship to yourself deepens in love and reverence.
I will inspire you to have the courage to navigate the discomfort in the in-between of wanting to be chosen and learning to choose ourselves. We look at how the mind, body, and spirit each hold a piece of that work: the mind still learning to release the old story, the body remembering safety, and your spirit teaching you how to trust what's real.
This episode is about the devotion it takes to live in alignment with your soul — to stay steady when the bridge shakes beneath you, and to keep walking toward the life that's actually yours. It is on the bridge you not only meet yourself, but others walking alongside you, tools to help you keep walking and the awakenings that will forever change you.
The first step towards ourself is the scariest, the rest is an unfolding of more than you could probably imagine.
