What if the part of you that feels too wild, too much, too untamed… is actually your way home?

In this episode of Inner Temple, I explore the wildwoman archetype—her power, her freedom, and her deep connection to instinct and truth. Inspired by my collage Running with the Wolves, this is a story about remembering the parts of ourselves we’ve silenced, and the strength that comes from letting them speak again.

I share how the energy of the wildwoman transformed my own healing journey, how the wolf became a guide in my life, and what it means to reclaim the untamed spirit within.

Includes my original poem: Running with the Wolves

What if the discomfort you’re feeling… is transformation in progress?

In this raw and soulful episode of Inner Temple, I revisit a time when my life no longer fit—when I was shedding an old identity, living in a beautiful loft perched at the edge of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Outside: addiction, pain, and despair. Inside: dreams, downloads, and a sacred portal for healing… until the space itself began to crack under the pressure.

This is the story of Uncomfortable Skin—the awkward, aching stage of growth where you haven’t yet arrived, but you’re no longer who you were. A space between identities. A place where magic and madness collide.

Includes the original poem: Uncomfortable Skin

What happens when beauty and pain live side by side?

In this heartfelt episode, I share a deeply personal story of contrast—set high above the gritty streets of the Downtown Eastside, where geraniums bloomed in my window boxes and heartbreak unfolded just below.

Inspired by my soul collage, The Window Between Worlds, this reflection invites you into a liminal space—a place where duality lives, where growth is born from tension, and where the sacred meets the raw.

Through story, poem, and guided inquiry, I explore what it means to hold both light and shadow, and how transformation begins when we allow ourselves to witness from a higher vantage point.

Includes my original poem: The Window Between Worlds

Guided reflection questions to deepen your own journey

Intro/Outro: Reflection by Truniversal

In this tender episode of The Inner Temple, we explore the quiet, often isolating experience of depression. Through two soul collages—Midnightand Hey There Girlfriend—I reflect on what it means to move through darkness with patience, grace, and the quiet guidance of your higher self.

Midnight offers the image of a celestial tree growing at the edge of shadow—a symbol of resilience rooted in stillness. Hey There Girlfriend brings in the playful voice of the higher self, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, our light is never lost.

I share a personal story of walking through depression, the poem In the Midnight of My Soul, and three reflective questions to support your own healing journey.

If you’ve ever felt like the light was out of reach… this episode is for you.

You are all you need.

Take care of your sacred self.

The Stuff of Stars — A Love Note is a gentle reminder of who you truly are beneath the noise, the striving, and the self-doubt: brilliant, infinite, and already enough.

Inspired by my soul collage of the same name, this episode invites you to remember your inner light—the one that’s always been there, even when you’ve forgotten. I share a personal story about the years I spent chasing approval, believing I had to earn my worth… and the moment I began to see myself differently.

Through my original poem The Stuff of Stars, I offer a love note to the parts of you that still long to be seen. This episode is a soft landing for anyone who has ever:

• Forgotten their light in the midst of perfectionism or performance

• Struggled with self-worth or shame

• Longed for a deeper sense of self-love and inner validation

You don’t have to prove anything to be worthy.

Your brilliance is already written in the stars.

Featuring the original poem: The Stuff of Stars

Plus reflection prompts to guide your return to self.

Climbing the Corporate Ladder is a reflection on the silent cost of striving—for success, perfection, and approval—within systems that often ask us to trade authenticity for acceptance.

Inspired by my soul collage of the same name, this episode explores the game-like nature of the corporate world: the strategic moves, the towering expectations, and the pressure to be perfect. I share my personal journey of chasing validation through achievement, only to realize that the higher I climbed, the further I drifted from myself.

If you’ve ever:

• Struggled with perfectionism or burnout

• Measured your worth by your performance

• Questioned whether the ladder you’re climbing leads where you want to go

This episode is for you.

Featuring the original poem: The View from the Ladder

Plus reflection prompts to support your own journey back to what truly matters.

This is not about rejecting ambition.

It’s about redefining success—on your own terms.

You are all you need.

Take care of your sacred soul.

Running with the Shadows of the Night is an invitation to embrace the wild, untamed parts of yourself—the ones you’ve hidden, quieted, or questioned.

Inspired by a soul collage of the same name, this episode explores the power of shadow: the parts of us that feel “too much” or “not enough,” and yet hold our deepest fire.

I share a personal reflection on the moment I stopped suppressing my truth and started moving with it. I read my original poem Shadows in Motion, and offer journaling prompts to help you reconnect with your passion, your power, and the vibrant wholeness that lives beyond perfection.

If you’ve ever:

• Felt disconnected from your desire or creative fire

• Been afraid of being too bold, too messy, too real

• Longed to reclaim the parts of yourself that don’t play by the rules

This episode is for you.

Featuring the original poem: Shadows in Motion

Plus reflection prompts to guide your own journey back to self.

This is not about fixing or taming.

It’s about dancing with your whole self—light, shadow, and everything in between.

You are all you need.

Take care of your sacred soul.

Intro/Outro: Reflection by Truniversal

This episode is a quiet exploration of what it means to feel like you don’t quite fit—a square peg in a round hole.

Many of us have learned to smooth our edges, to be agreeable, to soften our truth in order to be accepted. But the more we shape-shift to meet others’ expectations, the further we drift from our own.

In this episode of The Inner Temple, I share the story behind my soul collage Square Peg, Round Hole, and the original poem it inspired. The image of honey cascading over stacked spoons speaks to the beauty—and the burden—of forced sweetness. The woman’s gaze reflects the quiet strength of someone ready to stop pouring herself into molds that don’t fit.

I reflect on my own experience of self-abandonment and the moment I began to reclaim my truth. The journey back to ourselves isn’t always easy—but it is always worth it.

If you’ve ever:

• Felt pressure to tone yourself down or sweeten your presence

• Struggled with authenticity in a world that rewards conformity

• Been told you were “too much” or “not enough”

• Longed to feel seen just as you are

This episode is for you.

Featuring the original poem: Square Peg, Round Hole

Plus reflection questions to support your own return to authenticity.

This is not about changing who you are.

It’s about coming home to the self you’ve always been.

You are all you need.

Take care of your sacred soul.

Intro/Outro: Reflection by Truniversal

For most of my life, I believed that giving made me valuable. I poured myself into work, relationships, and expectations—until I was running on empty, disconnected from my own needs. In this episode of Inner Temple, I explore the cost of over-giving and the deep healing that begins when we finally learn to receive.

Inspired by my soul collage Give and Take, I reflect on a pivotal moment of burnout and the unraveling that followed. Through storytelling, poetic reflection, and spiritual inquiry, I share how I began to reclaim balance—not as a luxury, but as a necessity for living fully and authentically.

If you’ve ever felt depleted from doing too much or struggled to rest without guilt, this episode is for you. May it be a reminder that giving and receiving are part of the same sacred rhythm—and that you are all you need.

Stillness once felt terrifying to me—an empty space I filled with noise, striving, and distraction. But in today’s episode of Inner Temple, I invite you to explore a different perspective: stillness as a place of healing, transformation, and quiet rebirth.

Inspired by my soul collage Deepening into Stillness, I share my own journey of confronting burnout, surrendering to silence, and discovering that growth often happens beneath the surface, long before we see the evidence. Through reflection, storytelling, and a soul-centered poem, I explore the beauty and strength that arise when we stop resisting and simply allow ourselves to be.

If you’re longing for peace but afraid to slow down, I hope this episode reminds you that stillness isn’t a void—it’s a cradle for new life. And always: you are all you need.
