I’m starting The Artist’s Way again. This episode is a grounding conversation on why now, how I’m approaching it differently, and what this work has meant to me in the past. If you’ve done The Artist’s Way, I’d love to hear what it brought up for you. I’m doing this slowly, honestly, and for real this time.

More reflections along the way on my Substack.

A raw reflection on breaking addictive patterns by refusing the reflex to fix, numb, or distract. This episode sits inside the discomfort — where false problems dissolve, and stillness reveals what was never broken to begin with.

Inspired by Thích Nhất Hạnh, this episode explores how real love creates freedom—not attachment—and how abandonment wounds distort love into clinging, vigilance, and fear of being left. A reflection on choosing presence over possession, and trust over grasping.

In this episode of Monsoon Season, Asa sits down with Keiron Miller — Transformational Coach, TEDx Speaker, and host of The Inner Game Podcast for a raw and honest conversation on what it truly means to rebuild yourself from the inside out.

Keiron opens up about his own “monsoon season”:

• grieving the loss of a loved one
• navigating post breakup
• awakening to sexual healing as a pathway back into the body
• and answering the call to guide men and masculine energies into deeper intimacy, safety, and embodiment

Together, we explore the role of sensuality, grief, masculine lineage work, and how sexual energy becomes a vehicle for profound reinvention.

After the official recording ended, Asa kept the mic running—and what unfolded was a coaching session on her subtle throat-chakra block.
Keiron reflects what he hears in her voice: the micro-hesitation that appears right before greatness.

We move through:

• the energetics of holding back vs. letting power through
• why receiving is a skill
• how creators unconsciously self-censor when they’re expanding
• how to open the throat, heal expression, and allow deeper resonance with guests and listeners
• tactical protocols Keiron uses with clients to dissolve expression blocks and amplify the nervous system’s capacity to be seen

A reflection on processing flowers, clarity, and the tiny things that disrupt our inner ecosystem. In this episode, we explore how a single “leaf” — a habit, a decision, a project, even a well-intentioned creative idea — can cloud the water of your mind and your work. This is a dharma talk on attention, care, and the art of keeping your inner bucket clean enough to hear your life clearly.

When we stop forcing, life begins to breathe.

Inspired by Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, this 20-minute guided meditation invites you to soften your grip and let life work through you.
When we surrender control, what we’ve been trying to shape finally starts to move — the energy, the creation, the healing.

Breathe. Surrender. Remember: you don’t have to make yourself; you only have to meet yourself.

A raw reflection from a vulnerable session with Maggie McCall. In this episode, I explore the hidden cost of managing other people’s inner state, the pressure to always “get it right,” and what it means to release that weight in entrepreneurship and in life.
