I am thrilled to introduce you to my new friend and holistic leadership and mindset coach, Amina AlTai! Today we explore how to align your life with what you desire and seek through reframing fear, overhauling core beliefs, creating boundaries, and taking micro-steps every day. Amina unpacks how to take inventory of your life using a ‘nourishment meter,’ along with how to authentically connect to yourself around money. Amina also shares her beautiful wisdom on the importance of creating space for play, joy, and dreams.

Today we enter the first mercury retrograde of 2020! Astrologer Rose Theodora is back on the show to share the themes of this retrograde, what to expect, and the zodiac signs that will be most impacted. With Mercury in Pisces, Rose explores how diving into certain artistic mediums, honing in on our needs, and pursuing acts of service will positively impact us. She also explains why this retrograde will make us more tired, and ways to support your nervous system so you’ll sleep more soundly. Rose also unpacks what to expect when Saturn moves from Capricorn into Aquarius on March 21, and what this means for those experiencing their Saturn return.

Today I’m joined by certified women’s health coach, Nicole Jardim, who focuses on helping women with their periods and hormones. In our conversation, we dive deep into the phases of women’s cycles, comparing them to the four seasons of nature. As Nicole explores the bleeding, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases, she shares best practices for each. Some phases are best for slowing down and having alone time, while others are ideal for socializing or even asking for a raise! May this conversation deeply empower you to own your femininity and understand your body in the way it did for me.

Chinese Medical Physician and acupuncturist, Carolyn Barron, is back on the show with all her wisdom! Today, she joins us to talk about the Winter Water season, the transition into the Chinese New Year, and what this means for our energy and practices during this time.

We aren’t meant to go nonstop, and Carolyn shares how going slow and turning inward matches the season we are in. We dive into what it means to move with the energy of nature, and Carolyn reveals her favorite teas, herbs, and foods to nurture ourselves during this time. At the end, Carolyn leads us in a DIY acupressure, Qigong meditation.

Location note for Acupressure on Ming Men 'Gate of Life':

Ming Men is located in the center of the spine, just below the 2nd lumbar vertebrae. Hot tip ➞ find the curve of your natural waist where it pinches ever so slightly inward, then join the thumbs together on the midline. The thumbs will generally intersect w/ the spinous process of L2, and LIKE WHOA, this point is usually tender.

My favorite acupressure technique for stimulating Ming Men comes from Chen Xiyi’s Red Phoenix Calisthenics, + involves rolling the knuckles over the areas left + right of Life Gate 36 times (36=9, the Taoist number of completion, containing all things + all permutations). It is said that by performing this sacred kneading that Qi can be absorbed into the bones.

Today I am closing out the year and decade with my best friend and spirit sister, Christine McGuan! It brings me immense joy to end the year with her love and energy, and to share this sacred conversation with you as we move into the new moon. As you’ll learn, Christine decided to surprise me by showing up with her own set of interview questions! In our conversation, I share the journey that led me to write my upcoming book, Burning Bright. I unravel my vulnerabilities, where I was ten years ago, and how I’ve worked to let go of control. We talk about hopes and goals for the year ahead. Before our meditation, we share a new moon questionnaire you can use for reflection, and to have your own new moon ceremony!
