I once believed that a spiritual life demanded perfection and endless positivity, but it took a collision with reality to show me the beauty in our imperfections.

In today's episode, I unravel the myth that to be spiritual is to be flawless. Join me as I acknowledge the full spectrum of human emotions, integral to our authentic experience. It's a conversation that tears down the facades and instead builds a sanctuary for honesty, growth, and real talk, inspired by my mentor Jess Fenton's profound insights from her podcast "Spiritualised."

This episode is a heartfelt embrace of the unknown and a celebration of passion as a compass for creativity. As I share my voyage of starting a podcast and the liberation it has gifted me, my hope is to inspire you to follow what sets your soul on fire.

Trust that your 'Soul Blueprint'—the deep-seated knowledge within you—will be the guide you need as you embark on your creative endeavors. We're companions in this journey where embracing our quirks and trusting in the timely appearance of life's guides isn't just encouraged; it's essential. So let's cast off the shackles of comparison, and together, let our inner artists run wild towards freedom and self-expression.

Join me on a reflective journey as we explore the profound impact of meaning on our lives.

I recount a conversation with a student that shed light on the therapeutic power of structure and routine, especially within the confines of inpatient psychiatry. We discussed how the simple act of providing a consistent schedule and the familiar faces of therapists can offer a stable foundation for patients, aiding in their healing process just as significantly as medication. Through parallels with physical rehabilitation, I put forth the idea that even the smallest aspects of our daily routines can be imbued with meaning, influencing our well-being, self-perception, and resilience in the face of disappointment. The opposite can also be done; assigning significant meaning to aspects of our lives that greatly negatively affect us and our abiity to thrive.

What would happen if we became more intentional about where we CHOOSE to assign meaning in our lives? Could adopting a sense of flexibility here allow for more personal power, growth and life satisfaction?

I share a personal experiment about infusing my daily life with meaning that serves me, an insight that became the inspiration for the podcast's name, Love and Meaning. I invite you, the listeners, to participate and reflect on how deliberate actions and connections can enrich your existence. As I navigate this experiment myself, I encourage you to share your experiences and the transformative effects of this approach on your own lives as I share mine.

In todays episode I share my journey of self-discovery, healing, and the power of human design. I talk about growing up with ADHD, moving beyond academic standards to embrace my unique intelligence, and finding my purpose through psychology.

I share my experience with depression, surviving a car accident, relocating to New York, and battling chronic pain. I recall my serendipitous entrance into the personal development world through the teachings of the late, great Louise Hay and my holistic approach to physical healing through EFT tapping and meditation.

The highlight of the episode is my introduction to human design, where I discovered my role as a 'projector', leading to a number of significant shifts in my life and the deepest understanding of self love and acceptance.

Trigger warning for some discussion of my personal experience with suicidality.

Today I discuss my thoughts on manifestation techniques, emphasizing the need for personal interpretation and critical thinking. I share my own struggles with focusing on abundance without thinking about the specific amount of money, and my experiences with exercises aimed at generating feelings of freedom and prosperity, that simply left me feeling disingenuous.

I was given a new perspective after my honeymoon experience in Cape Town, South Africa, where my husband and I stayed in luxurious Airbnbs, and I launched this podcast upon returning.

I have come to realize the importance of two things:

1) Recognizing and understanding that the way we experience feelings is unique to each of us, and very much an individual process.

2) LIVING LIFE will always be our best teacher/ clarifier/ solidifier of any concept when it comes to personal growth.

It is my belief that we have to EXPERIENCE life to understand what lights us up, not just imagine it.

It is my belief that through creativity, WHATEVER that means for each person, we access a gateway to so much vibrational resonance.

My invitation...

I invite you to resist the impulse to feel like there is something wrong with you if a technique is not working for you. Rather ask yourself WHY, and open yourself up to the discovery of a new way or slight shift that will click things into place for YOU. Adopt the curiosity of a child in your daily life. We get to do this personal development thing any which way that works for us, and that gets to be ok.

In today's episode I discuss how our conscious awareness has evolved much farther and faster than our brains. In many ways the nature of our human brains remains primitive and similar to cave man days despite us being closer to flying cars in present society.

Today I discuss three evolutionary aspects of our brain functioning that can hinder our ability to objectively view other people and situations:

Join me in exploring the evolutionary quirks that skew our brains towards survival at the cost of happiness, override instinct to expect desired outcomes, and learn strategies for soothing the nervous system to reclaim peace of mind in the hustle of modern life.

In today's episode I discuss some of the maladaptive strategies we tend to use as children and then continue to use into adulthood that no longer elicit the same results. It's time to change them. Where children use defense mechanisms, as adults we need values and boundaries.

Let's have a little coming to Jesus talk right off the bat and take a look at the stories we create, perceive the world through and react to without question. I get a little bit psychology and little bit spiritual and 100% real.

***In this episode I also demonstrate through the beauty of trial and error how to eventually stop hitting my speaker when I get excited. We're in this together y'all. Onward and upward!
