This week we're talking about how to date from a place of self-love:

- What dating from a place of self-love looks like (whether you're currently partnered, unpartnered or have multiple partners).

- The four key elements of dating from a place of self-love.

- How to start incorporating these into your life and what it looks like when you start dating from this place of deep self-acceptance.

*Spoiler alert: It looks like you feeling more confident and dating feeling more fun and less intimidating!

This week I’m sharing my experience moving from monogamy to ethical non-monogamy. I talk about why my husband and I decided to open our marriage, how the transition went and some of the challenges and benefits of being non-monogamous.

I’m back! This week I’ve got a little life update on where I’ve been for the past 2 1/2 months + some juicy personal and professional news. 😘

This week I got to sit down with Julie Browny, the founder of the Lost Shelf Bookstore. Julie features the work of Black, indigenous and queer authors; sells equitably sourced coffee and runs her business with heart, joy and wisdom. The Lost Shelf is the antithesis of the Amazon culture of instant gratification and a beautiful template for what a business built on community and joy can look like.

The world feels like a raging dumpster fire yet again. And lots of us are feeling overwhelmed by the recent racist violence and threats to our human rights. So I recorded an episode to share the process I teach (and personally use) for dealing when it all feels too much.

I share:

How to decide when to consume the news and when to give it a break

What to do instead of doomscrolling

How and when to process the feelings that are coming up for you

Why you should resist the temptation to compare your activism with what you see on social media

What co-regulation is and how you can use it to feel less anxious

How to hold grief and joy simultaneously and how this helps us cope in difficult times

In this week’s episode I got to talk with Claire Beaumont, the founder of FOREVERYWEAR, a mail-in clothing repair business. She’s devoted to helping create a more sustainable fashion industry so that we can all look and feel good without destroying the planet. She also shares some great advice on trusting yourself and finding your purpose in life.

This week I’m sharing another interview from my Radical Self-Acceptance as Activism series I hosted in collaboration with the Seattle Public Library! For this episode I got to speak with Ev’Yan Whitney, a Sexuality doula®️, sex educator and sensualist.

I have another mini episode for you this week all about growing self-trust and learning to give yourself permission.

This is the foundation of having a sense of purpose, fulfillment and ease as you move through life.

Hello Beautiful Humans!

This week I’m sharing another interview from my Radical Self-Acceptance as Activism series I hosted in collaboration with the Seattle Public Library!

In this episode, I’m speaking with Caroline Dooner, humorist, storyteller and author of The F*ck It Diet and Tired as F*ck. She spent years as a performer, and dieted like it was her job (because it kind of was). After healing her relationship to food, she's been sharing what she learned ever since. She excels at explaining *why* we have such a dysfunctional relationship with food and weight through a combination of storytelling, scientific studies, and humor.
