In this episode, I return after a two-month hiatus to share what’s been stirring beneath the surface creatively, emotionally, and spiritually.

I talk about the quiet season I’ve been in, what it’s taken to find my way back to creativity, and how writing my second book has challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. I reflect on how different it feels from writing the first—how there’s more resistance, more complexity, more unknowns, and yet… something still calls me forward.

We explore:

✔ The strange energy of creating after you’ve already made something that mattered

✔ Why the second time can feel harder than the first, and what that teaches you

✔ What re-ignited my creative spark and how inspiration actually returns

✔ Why you don’t need a perfect plan to start making something new

✔ How your creations can lead you somewhere you never expected—if you let them

This episode is for the ones circling the edge of their own next chapter. For the ones who feel called to create, even if they don’t know what it’s for, or where it’s going.

If you’ve ever doubted whether you could begin again, or wondered if you missed your chance, this one’s for you.

Thank you for being here. And thank you for listening. 🕯️

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something I’ve only just uncovered in myself—something I’ve been doing for over a decade that’s never truly been aligned with who I am.

Through the lens of Human Design, I reflect on what it means to live in your correct environment—and how easily we can fall into our “not-self,” choosing roles and behaviors that keep the peace but cost us our authenticity. I speak about the moment I finally stepped into the right environment on TikTok, not as the peacemaker, but as the truth-teller. And how that shift gave me clarity on how my energy actually wants to move in the world.

We explore:

✔ What the “not-self” looks like in real time—and how to notice it

✔ Why your Human Design environment matters more than you think

✔ How living misaligned can feel normal until it suddenly doesn’t

✔ Why this moment in history demands full authenticity from each of us

✔ How honoring your truth is what helps you (and the world) heal

This episode is for the ones who feel something within them cracking open—who are beginning to see that the way they’ve always been isn’t who they truly are.

For the ones ready to live how they were actually designed to live.

As always, thank you for being here. And thank you for choosing to return to yourself. 🕯️

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something deeply needed in this moment: truth.

In a world that often rewards denial, obedience, and emotional suppression, telling the truth—about who you are, how you feel, and why you’re here—is a radical act. But now more than ever, it’s time to wake up to that truth.

I speak about the courage it takes to live in alignment with your deeper knowing, how emotions are not enemies but messengers, and why this chaotic time we’re living through may be the very reason we chose to come here—to anchor truth, to embody it, and to help others remember.

We explore:

✔ Why truth is a form of healing in times of chaos

✔ How emotions are sacred messengers—not weaknesses

✔ The link between obedience culture and emotional suppression

✔ What it means to live in full awareness of your purpose

✔ Why being truthful is one of the most powerful things you can do

I also share a personal reflection on my dad, who grew up in a time when emotion and truth were not allowed—and how that lineage impacts the way we see ourselves today. And I offer a glimpse into a new service I’m launching: mirroring sessions, (email here to inquire: [email protected]) designed to help you see yourself more clearly, and return to what’s been waiting within you all along.

This episode is for the ones who feel the weight of the world—and know that truth is the way through.

For the ones who are ready to feel deeply, live honestly, and come home to why they’re here.

As always, thank you for being here. And thank you for being willing to tell the truth. 🕯️

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something that lives at the heart of being human: story.

From ancient myths to bestselling fantasy series, stories have always been how we make sense of ourselves—how we pass on wisdom, shape identity, and find meaning in the mess. But what is your story? What’s mine? And why does it matter that we know?

I speak about the structure of story, why characters need to be tested to change, and how that mirrors our own lives—where transformation is earned, not granted. I reflect on books like A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Stormlight Archives, and how the stories we love are often mirrors, letting us see ourselves more clearly.

We explore:

✔ Why stories are more than entertainment—they’re maps of becoming

✔ How character arcs reflect the real transformations we long for

✔ What it means to face difficulty and emerge changed

✔ How stories make us feel less alone—and more ourselves

✔ The quiet invitation in every great book: who are you, really?

This episode is for the ones who turn to fiction to understand reality.

For the ones who carry books like companions.

For the ones who know that story is not just how we escape—but how we return.

As always, thank you for listening. 🕯️

In this episode, I offer a transmission on something ancient—something that’s been guiding us long before we had language for it.

So many of us are searching for signs, direction, a map. We want clarity before we move. But what if the direction has always been within us? What if the compass isn’t out there—but in here?

I speak about the stars that guide, the salt in our tears, and how being who we truly are is the answer we’re looking for.

We explore:

✔ Why the search for direction is really a call to remember

✔ How ancient symbols like stars and compasses still live within us

✔ Why spending time with the right people makes your own path clearer

✔ How your soul already knows the way—you just have to listen

✔ The beauty of becoming your own North Star

This episode is for the ones who feel lost but suspect they are not.

For the ones who hear a call they can’t quite name.

For the ones who are learning to come home to themselves.

As always, thank you for walking with me. 🌌

In this episode, I explore a realization that struck me recently: too many of us (myself included) are trying to solve mysteries that can only be solved by living.

We live in a world that worships certainty—where overanalyzing becomes a stand-in for actual experience. But some answers don’t come through thinking. They come through embodiment. Through risk. Through choosing to live even when the path is unclear.

I speak honestly about the questions we ask that only serve to delay us, how seeking clarity too soon can pull us out of the present moment, and why our fears often masquerade as the desire to “figure it out.”

We dive into:

✔ Why not all questions deserve answers—especially not right away

✔ How over-questioning can be a form of avoidance

✔ The quiet danger of waiting for certainty before taking action

✔ Why authenticity requires participation, not prediction

✔ How life reveals its answers through presence, not analysis

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck trying to “get it right” before moving forward. You don’t need all the answers. You just need to live the question.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for listening. And as always—thank you for walking with me. 💫

In this episode, I explore one of the most tender truths of the creative path: what it means to keep showing up when it feels like no one sees you.

From the quiet ache of invisibility to the internalized voices that tell us we’re not enough, this conversation is a reflection on the frustration that comes with pouring your truth into something beautiful—and hearing silence in return.

I speak honestly about what it feels like to create without applause, how our inner critics are often just echoes of rejection we’ve carried too long, and what it means to return to the self when recognition doesn’t arrive on time.

We dive into:

✔ Why feeling unseen doesn’t mean your work isn’t powerful

✔ How the inner critic is usually a chorus of other people’s fears

✔ The sacred difference between your true voice and inherited noise

✔ What to do when you want to quit—but something inside won’t let you

✔ How staying present in your own frequency is the work

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered if their voice matters, if their creations count, or if they’re the only one feeling like they’re shouting into the void. You’re not. You’re already enough—and the world is catching up.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear your story.

Thank you for listening. And as always—thank you for seeing me. 💫

In this episode, I unravel one of the deepest lies we’ve been told: that success comes from being like everyone else. From hustle culture to productivity myths, we’ve been conditioned to believe that there’s only one way forward—constant motion, constant doing, constant pressure.

I explore how this message has distorted our relationship with success, presence, and self-trust. And while I briefly reference Human Design, particularly how we’ve all been taught to live like Manifestors, the episode is really about the deeper cost of living someone else’s blueprint.

We dive into:

✔ Why hustle culture keeps us trapped in cycles of fear and inadequacy

✔ The danger of living like someone you’re not

✔ How future-orientation fuels anxiety and disconnection

✔ What it takes to return to presence, even when fear is loud

✔ Why your real power is in doing things your way

This episode is an invitation to stop striving for a life that was never meant for you, and to start remembering what already lives inside of you. There is no blueprint. There is no race. There is only now. And you belong here, exactly as you are.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories.

Thank you for listening—and as always, thank you for seeing me. 💫

In this episode, I recount the experience of flying a plane, and what the experience taught me about fear, grief, and control.

We dive into:

✔ What fear actually is—and why trying to “conquer” it can sometimes backfire.

✔ How flying a plane mirrored the parts of myself I am still trying to feel and understand.

✔The unexpected lessons that come when a breakthrough doesn’t arrive.

✔ Why coming up against yourself might be the most important thing you do.

✔ What it means to surrender and allow the world to work through you.

This is an episode about confronting the mirror—about doing the thing not to prove yourself, but to meet yourself. Sometimes the fear doesn’t leave. But we learn who we are when we show up anyway.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories.

Thanks so much for listening, and as always—thank you for seeing me. 💫

In this episode, I explore what it means to be truly seen—not just by others, but by ourselves. I reflect on my own experiences of feeling invisible in high school, and other times in my life, and the ways I’ve grown into someone who’s now able to hold that visibility, both the burden and the beauty of it.

We dive into:

✔ Why being seen can feel both exhilarating and terrifying

✔ The parts of ourselves we hide because we’re scared they’ll be misunderstood

✔ How I came to be okay with visibility—and how it starts with seeing yourself

✔ The myth we carry that being seen will finally give us something we lack

✔ Why real change happens when you embody the feeling before it arrives

This is an episode about showing up for your own reflection—about becoming the version of yourself that no longer waits for external validation to feel whole.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories.
