  • Daddy Issues

    How can we battle the adage 'you fix the issues with your husband that you have with your dad?" Or are your relationships seeking "a bite to match the wound?" As a primary soul contract, it's no surprise that our relationships with our fathers or prominent masculine figures in our lives play a major role in our personal and spiritual growth journey. This week, Whitney and Ariel share their journey and development in handling their own "daddy issues," its effects on their relationships, and what has helped them navigate through these lessons.

  • The Why and How of Coaching

    What does it mean that Whitney is an "Intuitive Relationship Coach"? How does "coaching" differ from therapy or talking with your friends? Why would someone work with a life/relationship coach? What does working with a coach look like, feel like? How does it benefit you? When would a person consider working with a coach? What does coaching look like after an RTT session? We answer these and many more questions in today's episode all about "coaching"!

  • Believing Others & Choosing Yourself: Lessons in Self-Love

    Maya Angelou teaches us, "When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time." But what does that mean, what does that look like as it plays out in relationships? How do you battle between knowing when is the right time to stay or go? Whitney and Ariel talk through examples from their own lives and client stories giving examples to these common relationship trials. They provide tips on establishing, installing, and holding true to your needs, wants, and desires, and understanding soul contracts and releasing stories and expectations from the ego. For anyone who's ever experience the dissonance and contrast of another person not matching their level in a relationship, you know this is one of the messiest aspects of our relationship journeys.

  • Transformation Integration

    Faced with the shadows or triggers from past issues - how does your transformed, healed, inner working self now respond? How do you feel? How are you integrating the transformation from self work into your life? What does that look like, feel like? What impact does all this inner work actually have on your life - your job, relationships, well being?

  • Transitions: Out of Covid & Through Inner Work

    As we transition into spring in Northern America, many of are feeling that shift of energy. The emerging of spring, in conjunction to increasing percentages of Covid vaccinated people is giving many of us a glimmer of long anticipated hope for things to "return to normal." But is "back to normal" really where we want to go? 

    In this episode, Whitney and Ariel discuss what aspects of pandemic life were to our benefit? What did we learn about ourselves? And what do we want to keep integrated into post-pandemic life?

    Pandemic aside, the conversation really applies to all times of transition. We touch on the impact of releasing expectations and control, introverts and extroverts, self care v. soul care, releasing hustle culture, the concept of time, establishing and keeping boundaries, the impact of sustained trauma, and how to integrate your transformed self into your life.


    Let us know how you are feeling? Are you feeling like the pandemic lockdown is nearing an end? How is that impacting your life and your well being? What have you learned about yourself this past year, or through other transitions? What tools of soul care did you lean on or need more support for? Let us know in the comments or send us a message!

  • Winds of Change: How long does it take to get to the wind?
    Whitney is hosting her soul sister and family for the week, so I thought it'd be fun to bring in my soul sister as a guest cohost for this week's episode! Joining me today is Hannah Bailey! As we were getting ready to hit record, Hannah commented on how windy it was that day... and it launched this extensive existential conversation on the concept of wind - the winds of change, and we started with the question or idea - how long does it take to get to the wind?
    This conversation weaves in and out of manifestations, menstrual cycles, movie and literary symbolisms, spiritual growth and connection, the limitations of the body, child birth and the feminine ability to birth creation, time travel, destiny v. free will, I encounter deeper revelations about my signs from the universe, the significance of being present in time, the impact and insights Hannah received from her RTT with me, contrast, transcendentalism, love journeys, safety in expansion .... it's pretty packed! Warning, it's a longer episode, but it so fluidly moves through these concepts all under the thesis of wind, I couldn't get myself to clip it! So enjoy!
    We'll be back with Whitney next week!

  • Respect in Relationships
    R-E-S-P-E-C-T  - we're talking this week about how it is and mostly how it is NOT showing up in your relationship and what to do about it! In this week's episode, Ariel and Whitney ask hard questions - are you receiving the respect you deserve in your relationship? Are you treating yourself with the respect you deserve? How do we give and receive respect, and how to shift things when we're not. We tackle some of the nuances of emotionally abusive relationships, how fears keep us stuck in relationships that are no longer serving us, and how to release the outcome of  transitions. Whitney and Ariel continue expanding on tapping into your 'Needs, Wants, and Desires' in relationships and how to reframe "the list" of what you want in a partner. We're giving you permission to ask for more! Because you deserve it!
    Let us know what sparked your interest in this episode, what message resonated with you. As always, please share with anyone you think would be interested in the episode!
