A new layer of depth has opened for me recently. I speak today about my journey through loss. About my journey with opening the consciousness and share those experiences with all of you. 

I speak today also about grief as the ultimate teacher for us.

How doubt, comparison and doubt comes flooding in.

How to rise from the ashes like the phoenix and embrace the life, death, and rebirth cycle and how we can move forward.

If you listened to this and want to deepen your journey of self discovery Wild Soul Sanctuary begins October 27th and Reclaiming the Heart begins November 2nd

What are you ready to shed? 🌙

What are you ready to let go of?

This season invites us to move away from what no longer feeds our souls — the stories, patterns, and weights we’ve carried for too long.

Some of these are deeper or more hidden than we realize.

Recently, someone in my life had the courage to make amends — and it moved me deeply. It took such bravery to face the past, and in doing so, they released the shame that had been heavy on their heart. I share this story in the hopes of offering inspiration and activation for you, too — to move, to make choices, and to shed what no longer serves you.

Because when we release, we free up space for grace, freedom, and the fullness of life. That’s exactly what my program Home to the Heart creates — a space to come back to yourself and feel the spaciousness that’s been waiting for you.

✨ And because my birthday is coming up, I’m gifting a FREE 3-day Masterclass happening October 15th–17th.

If you’d like the link when it drops, post me in the comments and I’ll send it your way.

💫 And I’d love to know — what are YOU ready to let go of this season? Share it below.

Also, Wild Soul Sanctuary October container begins the 27th! Registration is open and ready for the women who is working on empowering herself and finding her true voice.

What do you think it means to be a Wild Soul?   Speaking today about what it means to be a Wild Soul and how we need it more than ever.   Being a wild soul is not about chaos, recklessness, or abandoning responsibility. It’s not about running away from life, numbing your feelings, or living only for extremes. It’s not about being loud all the time or forcing your truth onto others. It’s not about rejecting structure, community, or support in the name of “freedom.” It’s not about being perfect, healed, or having it all figured out. And it’s definitely not about going it alone.   Tune in and see what it means...   Soulfully Soberish is a free community I created for the awakening women if you are feeling the call away from alcohol and to explore deeper parts of our souls this may be for you.   Wild Soul Sanctuary is a six week mastermind where you can practice vulnerbility, being seen, heard, and expressing your true voice in sisterhood. Begins again October 27th. Link in comments to register or book an Intuitive Clarity call and the cost of it gets rolled into your next program with me.

This week’s podcast was sparked by a heartfelt conversation with a close friend—one that made me reflect deeply on how hard it can be to stay connected when our beliefs or politics don’t align. It isn’t easy to remain in friendship across opposing views. The truth is, it takes patience, compassion, and a willingness to let love be louder than division.

For me, grief is the great equalizer. No matter where we stand or what we believe, we all know loss. It humbles us, softens us, and connects us in ways that remind us of our shared humanity. That recognition became an anchor for this episode, along with my core values: honoring truth, rejecting hatred and violence on any side, and choosing to lean into love.

In the podcast, I share why these conversations feel so necessary, and I offer a few lighthearted tips for navigating them—including how humor (yes, even speaking in a British accent) can ease tension and open space for connection.

And if you’re a woman looking for a community where you can be fully seen—where you won’t be fixed, judged, or compared—I invite you to join Wild Soul Sanctuary, opening for registration on October 27th. This is a space for healing, reflection, and the kind of soul-deep connection that helps us remember who we really are.

My hope is that this episode reminds you: it is possible to bridge differences with compassion, to honor your own truth without shutting others out, and to let love and levity guide the way.

  What Do You Truly Want? And How to See That You Already Might Have It.   What do you truly desire in this life?   The question that plagues us all after loss.   Especially when we turn to the treasured path of knowing ourselves, of doing the work of healing and growth.   We often lose what we want.   We often can’t identify it.   We often crave what other people have and want it as our own.   But what if we already have what we truly wanted...   What if we just haven’t opened our hearts enough to see it. What if perfectionism is standing in the way? What if the magic is already here?   My Unleashing Creative Joy Program is the space where we get to uncover a lot of this. My Wild Soul Sanctuary is the space to practice using our voice and asking for our needs and wants and pure truth. Both are open for registration.   Can you pause and see that what you have may already be what you want?

Are You Stuck in Your Old Stories? Sharing today about flipping the script on the narrative we tell ourselves and the power of our minds and bodies to transform that into power.

What To Do When The Work I am Doing For Myself Doesn't Feel Like It's Working.

Offering some tips on this today to put things into perspective and why the "work" may not look like what you think it is supposed to.

This is for those who are doing the active work on themselves to come home to their truth. To keep moving. To be the best human and soul and are in process of healing and becoming. Sometimes it can feel like everything you are doing isn't right. You experienced an old trigger. You have come up against another mountain that you thought you already climbed. You have a day of not feeling the greatest, and your mood is crap. Your grief bubbles up to the surface. You are human, and this is normal. I speak on this today and how we can shift our mindset and reframe this belief. Where you can shine light on the work that IS working right now and how it can help navigate through the rocky waters. Post below and celebrate what IS working? Where do you see it? Did this resonate with you? If so give it a share and like and say hi below. We practice all of this in my Wild Soul Sanctuary October Container Presale is open now to join this six week odyssey of connection and opening. For the women who is awakening my new free community Soulfully SoberISH is in full swing. Come join the conversation.
