In a world that loves to draw lines, choose sides, and claim certainty, what does it really mean to find peace? In this episode of I’m Perfectly Divine, we explore the messy, beautiful complexities of peace—not the polished version, but the kind of peace that can hold when life doesn’t go as planned. In a world filled with judgments, I invite us to explore if peace is meant to be more of a journey that invites us into the messiness of life and how to be in complexities we are wresting with in a manner that allows for unity over separation. 

Key Takeaways:

• Peace isn’t always clear. Seeing both sides isn’t weakness—it’s a path to deeper understanding.
• Sometimes peace means walking away; sometimes it means standing your ground. Both choices can serve peace in different moments.
• Real peace comes from integration, not avoidance. We can’t find lasting peace by ignoring the messy, rejected parts of ourselves or life.
• The more we separate, the less we understand. Peace grows when we stay connected—even when we are seeing life through complex lenses.
• Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me. How can I practice love in the heart of the tension?

This conversation isn’t about finding the easy button to peace—it’s about embodying a peace that can hold complexity, that honors both strength and softness, both war and surrender. Whether you’re someone who boldly plants your flag with a clear stance or someone who bridges the in-between of both, your voice belongs here. Listen in as we explore how to be the peace we’re all seeking—starting from within.

Have you ever felt like you're holding yourself back — but you can't quite name why? In this episode of I’m Perfectly Divine, we’re peeling back the quiet, everyday comparisons that secretly stall our growth. 

Join me, as we’ll explore how these sneaky beliefs show up, what they’re really rooted in, and how to gently reclaim your next step — not by forcing your way forward, but by remembering who you truly are beneath the noise.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• The hidden question underneath comparison that keeps you from moving forward
• Why your “mess” is not a liability but a necessary part of your metamorphosis
• The dangerous myth of “readiness” and what no one tells you about people who seem ahead
• How to honor your desire without guilt, and stop using gratitude as a shield
• What to do when you feel like everything’s already been done

Whether you’re stuck in the illusion of not-enoughness or feeling behind, this episode invites you back into alignment with the unique medicine only you can offer.

How do you tend to respond when things don’t go as expected?

Do you tense up, get stuck, or start spinning stories about what it means about you? In this episode of I'm Perfectly Divine, we’re exploring a different approach—what if you could play with failure instead? What if those unexpected twists and “not quite right” outcomes weren’t signs of defeat, but invitations into greater creativity, resilience, and even divine grace? 

I know what it is like to have a harsh ego that wants to put you down when even a seemingly small experience goes awry. Just a couple of days into my 30 Day Play Challenge, and the deeper insights are coming forward to witness the ego and choose to tell different inner stories that bring lightness and new opportunities. My invitation in this episode is to explore ways for you to do the same.

Key Takeaways:

🎢 What if what you’re calling “failure” is actually something else entirely?

🧠 Ever wonder why your mind clings so tightly when things don’t go as planned?

🌱 Could play be the doorway to something deeper than just fun?

🔥 Why do so many spiritual paths start with everything falling apart?

🌑 What if losing your way is how you finally come home to yourself?

👣 And what if the very place you feel stuck… is sacred?

Drawing from spiritual alchemy, the myth of Inanna’s descent, and the heroine’s journey, I will uncover how breakdowns aren’t setbacks but sacred doorways. Instead of attaching to failure as proof of inadequacy, what if we approached it like a child at play—willing to pivot, laugh, and try again?

Whether you’re mid-challenge or just tuning in, this episode invites you to see your failures with new eyes—and reclaim the freedom and divine spark that comes from playing anyway.

This episode of I'm Perfectly Divine isn’t about sexuality per se — but it is about the kind of judgment many of us fear most. The kind that tells us we’re too much, not enough, too emotional, too messy, too human to be considered “spiritual.”

So when I found myself getting triggered with anger, I noticed both a part of me feeling ashamed and trying to justify it. But what if there was no right or wrong? My ego wants to justify, or judge, or shame rather than just be with the all of who I am.

That is when I remembered the ancient text: Thunder Perfect Mind. One of my favorite components shared in this text from a feminine face of the divine is the provocative claim of being both the whore and the virgin. The actual text states “I am the whore and the holy one. I am the wife and the virgin.” Then I remember that if the feminine voice of the Divine can hold these seeming dualities, to be inclusive of the love we are, why can’t I?

Here’s where I found the opportunity to let go of identities and allow all aspects of myself to be received, just as the Divine Feminine has taught me to embrace the all— from the virgin to the whore, the peaceful to the angry. The Divine is not found in flawlessness, but in our honest, compassionate presence with ourselves.

💡 Key Takeaways:

* Imperfection is sacred — it's not a barrier to divinity, but a path toward it.

* Judgment around emotions like anger or anxiety often stems from the spiritual ego, which wants to perform enlightenment rather than embody love.

* The Divine Feminine holds all of who we are — she embraces the full spectrum of the human experience without judgment.

* Spiritual growth isn't about always being calm or kind, but about honoring what's true in the moment and learning from it.

* Duality (right/wrong, masculine/feminine) is a tool for discernment, not something to get stuck in.

* Compassion grows when we stop trying to “get it right” and start being real.
This episode reclaims the wholeness of who we are in order for judgment to give way to compassion and acceptance. Rather than pushing away what we label as the “worst” or striving only for the “best,” we’re invited into a deeper appreciation for how all of us is our connection to the Divine exactly because this is our connection to our truest selves.

We’ve all been told, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.”
But what if all that trying leaves you feeling more unseen, unappreciated, and exhausted?

Yes, perseverance matters. But there’s a point where effort becomes a trap—when trying harder only deepens the frustration, because you keep getting the same results no matter how hard you try. Despite your good intentions, the love you so deeply want to share isn’t truly received, because there’s a deeper intention that needs your attention.

In this episode, I share the raw truth of how I’ve hit that wall—more than once—and what it’s taught me about love, worthiness, and letting go of the pressure to prove.

✨ You’ll hear about:

- Why trying harder can backfire (and what to do instead)

- The hidden meaning behind our judgment of "try-hards"

- The difference between feminine and masculine expressions of love

- The kind of love that doesn’t fix you—but fortifies you from within

If you’ve ever felt like no matter how much you give, it’s still not enough… this is your invitation to shift. Not by doing more, but by receiving more. Because the more you learn to receive all of you, the more you will be able to receive in all areas of life. That’s the love that awaits you—not through more trying, but through the choice to remember instead.

In this episode of I'm Perfectly Divine, we explore how to navigate emotional triggers—especially the anxiety and uncertainty that arise when we feel unsafe. Get ready to learn how to embody your inner knowing through the Four Pillars of Psychology: mind, body, spirit, and emotion. With grounded, practical tools and emotional truth-telling, listen in to learn how to move out of fear, reconnect with your power, and embody love—even when life feels chaotic.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Uncertainty signals disconnection from safety and truth. When you're triggered, you are no longer in your body.
• Come back to the body first and use nature as a guide. The present moment offers solace and lessons to remember your truth.
• Spirit guides from love. Disconnection and fear come from ego. Spirit speaks through love and reminds you of your wholeness and inner wisdom.
• Your emotions are your truth-tellers. You can't bypass emotional work. Triggers signal unprocessed emotional layers—not failure.
• The mind works best last. Once you’ve grounded the body, reconnected with spirit, and honored your emotions, the higher mind can help you claim your truth and purpose without being hijacked by fear.
• It's a practice, not perfection. Embodying the Four Pillars is a journey—one that reminds you that you're never broken, just remembering who you are.
