Our inner knowing is one of the most powerful tools available to us. But in many conversations with clients, it’s clear that understanding when our inner knowing is at work—and what it feels like to experience it—can bring up a lot of doubt in the mind.

But what is inner knowing? And what does it feel like to experience it? That’s what we’re chatting about today—so you can move forward with a greater sense of self-trust and confidence in your intuition.

In this episode, we discuss:

✧ What is inner knowing? 

✧ Concrete signs that your inner knowing is at work.

✧ How to grow your connection to your intuition.

✧ Tips for recognizing when a ping or nudge arises.

✧ Reflections on times when my inner knowing guided me.

In the midst of life's turbulent moments, it's easy to feel as though the universe is conspiring against us, as if we're being punished for some unknown wrongdoing. But here's a gentle reminder: you aren't being punished, and you certainly haven't done anything wrong. 

In fact, these bumpy seasons in life are not roadblocks but invitations. They are the universe's way of showing you where more freedom, wisdom, and opportunity are available to you. 

In this podcast, we'll explore the profound wisdom in finding peace when life takes an unexpected turn and how these moments can lead to your greatest expansion yet.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✧ How to find peace when it feels like life just isn’t flowing smoothly

✧ How to fully feel & release your feelings, rather than simply “think” about the feeling

✧ Experiences in Italy that showed how negative situations transform when you release stuck energy and the mind’s storylines

✧ Why the mind jumps to fixing mode, and how to come back to a neutral place before taking action

✧ How our stuck emotions create “goggles” and how to release these emotions so you can see clearly

Travel can test us in ways we don't always expect. Being in a new place pushes us out of our mind’s comfort zones, routines, and expectations. My recent trip to Italy was no exception. The trip was an absolutely incredible, unforgettable, amazing experience. And… at times it was a complete sh*tshow!

The trip offered so many opportunities to tap into my inner voice and allow it to guide me through the ups and downs. By releasing the mind’s expectations about how things “should'' go, I watched this sometimes difficult trip transform into an aligning, magical, and beautiful experience. 

This is the episode I would have wanted to hear before we left for our trip. Here are 5 tips to stay in alignment while traveling.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✧ How even the most difficult (and painful) travel experiences are an invitation to release stuck energy and find alignment

✧ How to stay present and tap into your intuition, even when the mind is in a constant search of "what's next” 

✧ What Tuscan hot springs taught me about following my inner voice’s guidance

✧ How to trust your intuition, even in small things like selecting an Airbnb or deciding on dining options 

✧  How to trust the organic unfolding of your journey

When we trust the flow of creativity and inspiration coming through us as well as the unique divine timing of our lives, we can create in the most effortless, beautiful, joyful ways.

This is exactly how the creation of my meditation app, But First, Exhale, unfolded. From start to finish I launched the app in 2 months (which I’ve heard from a lot of people in the industry, is unheard of). It was also so fun and came together in such an easeful, flowing way. My mind was truly blown by how easily and beautifully it all flowed and came together.

In this episode, I share the story of how I brought this app to life by trusting my inner voice, staying open, and stepping back from the process when my inner voice told me to take a break. Even if your inner voice has never wanted to build an app, may this story be an inspiration as you bring that next amazing idea, project, or creation to life. 

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✧ Where the idea for this app first began and how it unfolded in the most effortless way 

✧ Why taking a break can be one of your most powerful manifestation tools. 

✧ How I filtered out the noise from others people’s experiences building an app and stayed on the path inner voice laid out for me. 

✧ How intuition feels like a greenlight or an open door along your path 

✧ Why not listening to inner voice is still a very powerful teaching. 

✧ How to embrace the ebbs, flows, and unknowns when creating something new. 

✧ Why it’s better to be in the unknown than to settle for something your inner voice doesn’t want. 

✧ How to trust divine timing and know when it’s aligned to take action

In the face of anger, whether our own experience of anger or when we are in the presence of someone else's anger, many of us feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or afraid. Situations involving anger can be very alarming or shocking to the mind, and while those triggering situations are part of life, it's important to know how we can cultivate awareness and flow through the situation without attaching to our mind's stories and becoming reactive. 

I recently experienced a triggering situation involving my experience of someone else's anger, and my inner voice gave me some amazing perspectives that I share in today's episode.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✧ About a recently triggering experience with anger

✧ The importance of cultivating awareness

✧ Why feeling and processing our emotions is so important

✧ The tornado analogy

✧ My tips on how to free yourself from the mind's stories

✧ My inner voice's perspectives on anger

When it comes to business, it can be difficult to imagine a reality in which anything other than complete success feels like a win. A year ago, a business mentor asked me to imagine being okay if I didn't get the big success I dreamed of, and I couldn't do it. My worth had become attached to my business and its success and failures felt like my successes and failures as a person. 

Fast forward a little over a year, and I now experience a deep sense of neutrality and alignment within my business. I'm no longer attached to or emotionally dependent on certain outcomes, and things have unfolded far better than I ever could have planned. Now, I look within myself to feel calm, clear, and grounded, rather than constantly chasing it externally through “success”.  In this episode, I’ am sharing my journey to running my business in alignment and at peace.

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✧ How I transitioned from food blogger to health coach to intuitive life coach

✧ How intuitive eating sparked my interest in working with my intuition

✧ Why emotional release is important for living in alignment

✧ Why letting go of attachment completely changed my business

✧ What it looks like to have an aligned business

✧ My top tips for promoting a business in alignment

Through years of personal meditation practice coupled with reading the teachings of Buddhist practitioners and tuning in to my own inner voice, I've explored many meditation variations. When I first began meditating, I found myself in continual states of frustration, feeling like I couldn't meditate properly and I was never doing it 'right'.

I wanted to meditate, but couldn't find a way that felt like it worked for me, regardless of if I practiced on my own or with a group of people. When I allowed myself to ease into that resistance and let go of how I believed meditation 'should' look, my practice transformed. In this blog, I'm sharing the top 5 tips I've found along to help your meditation feel more efficient, effective, and enjoyable. 

In this episode, I'm sharing:

✧ My personal journey with meditation

✧ Why letting go of expectations is important

✧ How what's in the way, is the way

✧ My top 5 tips to meditate better

✧ The power of your breath

✧ Bringing alignment into your meditation practice
