In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Ricky Patel—lawyer, philanthropist, spiritual guide (whether he'd call himself that or not, I'm owning it for him haha), and one of the most grounding presences I’ve ever encountered. We met at Rythmia during an ayahuasca journey, where Ricky naturally became a pillar of safety and wisdom for an entire community of participants. From changing laws around sexual assault to feeding over a million children, Ricky shares how spirituality, service, love, and intentional relationships guide every part of his life. This conversation is about redefining success, giving back beyond money, and what it truly means to live in alignment with mind, body, and soul.

What you'll hear:

• Resilience & Growth: How Ricky’s journey from being born to refugee parents to moving to the United States shaped his independence, curiosity, and drive to create impact.

• Redefining Giving: Why giving back isn’t about money—it’s about presence, attention, and using your time to uplift others in small and significant ways.

• Love & Partnership: How he and his wife Evelyn intentionally nurture their marriage, prioritize each other, and create a deep, soul-aligned connection that supports their family.

• Blended Families & Patience: The strategies and mindset Ricky uses to build healthy, harmonious relationships in complex family systems, emphasizing patience, communication, and trust.

• Spiritual Growth & Self-Mastery: Lessons from ayahuasca, meditation, and curiosity that have guided him to live authentically, act intentionally, and continually grow.

✨ This episode is a reminder that true impact comes from alignment, presence, and the love and care we offer to the world and the people closest to us.

In this deeply personal Season 4 opener, I share a raw and powerful introduction to my ayahuasca journey—offering a grounded, honest perspective on the medicine, the transformation it sparked, and the ongoing integration into my real life. Rather than romanticizing the experience, I open up about the beauty and the brutality, and how this work has reshaped the way I move through grief, relationships, and uncertainty. This episode is an invitation to soften, surrender, and trust life’s unfolding—even when it doesn’t make sense.

What you'll hear:

• Understanding Ayahuasca: What ayahuasca truly is (to me) as a sacred plant medicine, and how it supports deep inner healing rather than acting as a quick fix.

• The Call to the Medicine: My personal journey of being called to ayahuasca and how life prepared me for it in ways I didn’t fully see at the time.

• The Reality of the Experience: The raw truth of the journey—emotional purging, physical intensity, and the profound breakthroughs that came through it.

• Integration is Everything: Why the real transformation has happened after the ceremonies, and how I continue to embody the lessons in my everyday life.

• The Core Lesson – Surrender: What it has looked like for me to release control, soften resistance, and trust the unfolding of my life.

Season 4 of Perfectly Broken is officially here—and this year, it’s all about you. I’m shifting the energy to focus on what the collective truly needs, and starting this season, on the first of every month, I’ll be dropping a special practice-based episode. From breathwork and mind–heart coherence activations to rituals, meditations, and whatever feels most alive in the moment, these episodes will give you something tangible to actually implement—not just listen to.

Because real transformation happens when we do the work. When we feel, process, release, and choose to show up from our hearts instead of our wounding. Stay tuned next week for a powerful episode on my experience with Ayahuasca—and get ready for a season of deeper embodiment, collective healing, and becoming 1% more aligned each day.

If you're ready to dive right in today, here's a copy of my Free EFT Tapping Guide for you to learn this tool and be able to implement it yourself.

In this powerful season finale, I sit down with Heather Gardner — a devoted mom of five, chiropractic grad student, and courageous cycle breaker — for a deeply heart-opening conversation about taking your power back, healing generational wounds, and discovering the magic that unfolds when you choose yourself. Heather vulnerably shares how her transformation deepened after attending the Soulfully Seen Women’s Retreat, where she moved through fears of judgment and found sisterhood, safety, and soulful connection.Together, we explore how practices like Somatic breathwork, swamping, and journaling helped her release stored trauma, embody self-compassion, and integrate mindfulness into daily life — reminding us that healing isn’t just a moment, it’s a sacred choice we make over and over again.

What you’ll hear:

• The Catalyst for Change: What sparked Heather’s decision to stop waiting for a “new year” or the “perfect time,” and how starting her healing journey now transformed every area of her life.

• The Cycle Breaker’s Path: How being the “black sheep” of her family became Heather’s superpower, as she chose to end generations of emotional immaturity and create a new legacy of love, safety, and emotional availability for her children.

• Small Steps, Big Shifts: The difference between trying to change everything at once and creating lasting transformation through small, consistent habits rooted in self-awareness and grace.

• The Power of Presence: Heather’s vulnerable reflection on attending her first retreat, what it taught her about slowing down, surrendering control, and remembering what peace feels like in her body.

• Feeling to Heal: We dive into the importance of allowing ourselves — and our children — to feel emotions fully without judgment, and how doing so opens the door to emotional intelligence and true peace.

• Healing the Sister Wound: Heather shares how she moved beyond the fear of gossip, judgment, and competition to experience genuine connection and safety with other women.

Even though we’re officially wrapping up Season 3 of the Perfectly Broken Podcast, the journey doesn’t end here. I’m still taking on new clients, and there are so many ways to work with me.

In this deeply supportive episode, I’m diving deep into the Akashic Records—one of the most transformative tools I’ve found on my healing journey. From personal breakthroughs to client stories that blew me away, I’m breaking down what the Records are, why they matter, and how you can begin working with them yourself.

What you'll hear:

• What the Akashic Records are and how they act as your soul’s energetic library across lifetimes.

• Why they’re so powerful for healing, clarity, and understanding your soul contracts, patterns, and purpose.

• The benefits of a reading—from uncovering root causes of trauma to finding your voice, confidence, and direction.

• How to access them yourself (and why working with a trained reader can cut through doubt and bring deeper clarity).

• What questions you can ask to explore timelines, past lives, your purpose, and guidance from your spirit team.

• Client breakthroughs—from chronic pain healing, to saving marriages, to releasing lifelong patterns.

This is without a doubt my most vulnerable episode of the Perfectly Broken Podcast yet—one that’s packed with wisdom, raw truth, and powerful normalization of the things women have been conditioned to feel shame around. I sit down with Autumn Paone, co-host of The Health Class She Deserves podcast and a passionate advocate for women’s health, to dive deep into the realities of chronic pain, invisible illness, cycle syncing, and the dismissive nature of Western medicine. Together, we unpack the cultural conditioning that shapes how women view their bodies and sexuality—everything from purity culture to porn-driven beauty standards—and explore how nervous system regulation, body awareness, and reconnecting with pleasure can transform not just health, but confidence and self-love. Whether you’re a woman seeking to reclaim your body and your voice or a man wanting to better understand and support the women in your life, this conversation is an eye-opening invitation to question old narratives and step into empowerment.

What you'll hear:

• The Reality of Invisible Illness: We talk about the stigma of “dynamic illnesses,” where pain isn’t visible or constant, yet deeply impacts daily life, and how this lack of visibility often leads to dismissal.

• Beyond the Pill: Autumn and I share our experiences of being prescribed birth control as a quick fix, and why masking symptoms doesn’t get to the root of women’s health struggles.

• Nervous System & Hormones: How chronic stress and dysregulation can throw off hormonal balance, leading to PMS, cycle irregularities, and other health issues.

• Cycle Syncing Simplified: Why syncing with your cycle doesn’t need to feel like another fad diet, and how to use it as a tool for awareness rather than rigid rules.

• Body Shame & Disconnection: The deep shame many women feel around their genitals, and how cultural conditioning and lack of language keep us disconnected from our sexuality.

• The Problem with Youth Obsession: Why many beauty and sexual norms are rooted in the sexualization of young girls, and how this deeply ingrained issue influences attraction, porn culture, and shame around natural bodies.

• Reclaiming Pleasure: Practical steps for exploring self-pleasure without vibrators or visual aids, turning it into a spiritual practice that helps you learn your body and guide a partner with confidence.

In this powerful episode, Kasey Wichael — a somatic breathwork facilitator, Reiki master, and intuitive guide — shares her journey of awakening to her spiritual gifts, what happened when she tried to suppress them, and surrendering to the guidance of her intuition and spirit team. We explore how ignoring our inner knowing can lead to anxiety, depression, and struggle— and how stepping into alignment can completely shift our lives.

What you'll hear:

• The Power of Vulnerability: How opening up about insecurities can lead to deeper connection and healing.

• Healing Through Rock Bottom: Why heartbreak and pain can become the doorway to transformation and self-discovery.

• Awakening Intuition: How healing ourselves opens the door to intuitive gifts and deeper spiritual connection.

• Sisterhood Over Competition: The reminder that we each bring our own unique magic, and there’s more than enough to go around.

• Connection with Spirit: The role of meditation and guides in helping you receive clarity and support when you feel lost.

• Trusting Intuitive Hits: A real-time example of following inner nudges and the freedom that comes when you listen.
