Perfectly Broken

In this powerful and heart-centered episode, I sit down with Jude Rosemond— a Caribbean-born artist, bodybuilder, holistic wellness coach, and living kidney donor— for a deeply moving conversation about transformation, embodiment, and the sacred balance within us all. We explore the meaning of divine masculine energy, the evolution of the fitness and wellness industries, and the radical act of healing our relationship with our bodies, our stories, and our sense of self. Through personal stories, ancient wisdom, and energetic insights, this episode invites you to honor the sacred pause, reconnect with your inner cycles, and remember the strength that comes from stillness, surrender, and soul-level alignment. It’s a rich tapestry of art, healing, and heart-led truth— perfect for anyone on the path of remembering who they are.

Free Masterclass: Becoming a Magnet for Soul-Aligned Friends

What you’ll hear:

• Life as a Living Canvas: Art is everywhere— and we’re all artists co-creating the lives we want through our choices, stories, and willingness to shift perspective.

• Stillness as Expansion: The power of stillness as a tool for recalibration, reflection, and receiving divine guidance.

• Living Kidney Donation: Jude’s deeply personal journey of donating a kidney to his mother and how it redefined his relationship with his body, identity, and purpose.

• A New Era of Leadership: Society is shifting from glorifying hustle and intellect to honoring heart-centered leaders who lead with empathy, vulnerability, and love.

• Redefining the Masculine: Honoring the sacred masculine, integrating softness with strength, and moving from stoicism and ego to emotional intelligence, spirituality, and embodied leadership.

• The Sacred Dance of Masculine and Feminine Just like the sun and moon, masculine and feminine energies each have distinct yet equally vital roles— and when balanced, they create harmony within us and in the world around us.

• Your Life is a Sacred Story: Every chapter of your life holds beauty and meaning—  whether you're on page 1 or chapter 13, there is wisdom in your evolution, and hope for what’s to come.

This week’s unconventional episode is a raw, unfiltered, late-night conversation I recorded at 3:30am during a retreat with my roommate and soul-aligned friend. We dove deep into what it really means to be seen in your full authenticity— even when you’re unsure, exhausted, and messy. We talked about the discomfort of vulnerability, the beauty of soul-aligned friendships, and the power of peeling back our protective layers to show up as our true selves. This honest, heart-centered exchange is a real-life glimpse into the emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and deep inner workthat’s at the foundation of my Soulfully Seen group program.

What you’ll hear:

• Friend vs. Soul-Aligned Friend: Defining relationships that nourish your soul, not just fill your time.

• Safety in Vulnerability: Why being your authentic self often doesn’t feel safe, and what you can do to change that from the inside out.

• Healing vs. Trauma Bonding: Learning to connect through shared emotions, not shared wounding.

• Authenticity on Hard Days: What it looks like to show up as yourself— even when you’re in pain.

• Guarded vs. Grounded: The subtle but powerful difference between protecting your energy and walling off your authenticity to open-hearted presence that creates real connection and healing.

• The Sister Wound Runs Deep: Understanding how past betrayals from other women can keep us from showing up vulnerably.

In this heartfelt and honest episode, I’m joined by Juhina Farooki, a registered dietician and co-founder of Aura Holistic and Metaphysical Wellness Center. What started as a passion for food and healing through functional nutrition evolved into a powerful spiritual awakening and the birth of a center that merges mind, body, and spirit. Juhina shares her personal story of healing childhood trauma, discovering her soul’s purpose, and finding alignment in entrepreneurship.

What you’ll hear:

• The Truth About “Healthy” Foods: Why some so-called health foods like beans and seed oils might be contributing to inflammation and gut issues.

• Entrepreneurship is a Spiritual Journey: It's humbling, rewarding, and deeply transformative when guided by faith and trust in the universe.

• Boundaries are Essential: Protecting your energy and mental health isn’t optional when your business becomes your baby.

• Surrender is the Secret: Learning to let go of control allows you to flow with life instead of resisting it.

• The Woo is Real: Energy healing only works if you’re open to it, but when you are, the shifts can be profound.

In this episode, I'm showing up exactly as I am— raw, real,and in recovery.

After a challenging surgery, I was forced to pause, rest, and truly practice what I preach about honoring the body’s wisdom. Instead of a regular episode, I’m sharing the incredibly honest, unscripted talk I gave on the final night of the Soulfully Seen Vulnerability Summit— no notes, no makeup, just me being fully human. This episode is an invitation to reflect on your own relationship with vulnerability, authenticity, and self-trust.

What you’ll hear:

• Honoring Your Body’s Timing: You’ll be reminded that it's okay to pause, rest, and listen when your body asks for more care than your plans allow.

• Vulnerability in Real Life: You'll see how letting go of perfection and showing up as you are can be the most powerful way to connect.

• Body Shame and Reclamation: You’ll be encouraged to reflect on your relationship with your body and begin releasing shame you were never meant to carry.

• Trust & Safety: Vulnerability isn’t about oversharing—it’s about choosing who has earned the right to hear your story.

• Myth-Busting: We unpack common myths like “vulnerability is weakness” or “I have to do this healing alone”— and why they’re keeping you stuck.

• Emotional Reactions: If your emotions are coming out as road rage, irritability, or shutting down, you’re not broken— your nervous system is asking for support.

• Healing Through Play: Reconnect with your inner child and remember the power of laughter, movement, and imagination as medicine.

In this episode, we dive deep into attachment styles,nervous system regulation, and how understanding both can help us show up more vulnerably and authentically in our relationships. When we understand our attachment patterns and the way our nervous system operates, we gain access to choice, healing, and self-compassion. Whether you lean anxious, avoidant, disorganized, or secure, this conversation is your permission slip to stop thinking you’re broken — and start recognizing how your body has been trying to protect you all along.

Join Soulfully Seen – Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower, my 8-week self-paced program

What you'll hear:

• Understanding Attachment Styles: Discover how anxious, avoidant, secure, and disorganized attachment styles form — and how they quietly shape your relationships and responses.

• Why Nervous System Regulation Changes Everything: Learn how your nervous system drives your emotional reactions and how regulation gives you the power to respond instead of react.

• The Impact of Generational Trauma: Explore how the patterns you carry may not be yours alone — and how healing your nervous system can help break generational cycles.

• How Small Triggers Activate Old Wounds: Hear a powerful example of how a simple text can ignite deep nervous system responses — and how awareness can change your entire experience.

• You’re Not Broken — You’re Wired for Protection: Be reminded that your reactions are not failures. They’re signs of a brilliant system that learned to protect you — and now, you get to choose a new way.

This episode is just a teaser of what we’ll be diving into inside Soulfully Seen – Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower, my online group program launching June 19th. If you're ready to regulate your nervous system, understand your patterns, and show up more fully in your relationships — this is your invitation.

In this soul-stirring episode, I’m joined by the radiant Chelsea Holden — Quantum Coaching Academy sister, embodiment leader, and Human Design guide — for a deeply inspiring conversation about sobriety, self-discovery, and soul alignment. From her courageous journey of transformation to her playful reconnection with the inner child, Chelsea shares how curiosity became her compass and Human Design her map for living authentically. Together, we explore what it means to break free from old identities, reclaim joy through presence, and use self-awareness as a tool for empowerment. This episode is a permission slip to remember who you are, trust your intuitive nudges, and lead with your soul.

What you'll hear:

• Sobriety as a Catalyst: Her decision to quit alcohol in 2019 led to a massive transformation, opening the door to personal development, emotional awareness, and deeper purpose.

• Curiosity as a Superpower: Chelsea emphasizes the role curiosity has played in her life—letting it lead her into growth, creativity, and reinvention.

• Rewriting Your Story: Chelsea reminds us that we are theauthors of our lives—and we get to write (and rewrite) each chapter as we grow.

• The Wisdom of Your Inner Child: Your inner child isn’t just younger— younger you was actually wiser in many ways, arriving in this world with clarity before societal conditioning took over.

• Healing Through Self-Remembrance: By honoring who you were before the world told you who to be, you begin the process of healing old wounds and returning to your authentic essence.

• Human Design as Permission: Understanding your Human Design gives you a personal permission slip to follow joy, rest, and alignment rather than hustle and burnout.

In this episode, I share the replay of my online masterclass,WTF Is Breathwork, where we dive deep into the often confusing world of breathwork. Whether you'refeeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, this episode offers both education and personal insight into how breathwork can help you regulate your nervous system, release emotional weight, and reconnect with your inner peace. I break down how to choose the right breathwork modality for you, explain the signs of nervous system dysregulation— from chronic anxiety to poor sleep— and explore the science behind chest vs. belly breathing and the benefits of nose breathing. I also open up about my own healing journey and how breathwork helped me through deep loss, burnout, and breakdowns, ultimately transforming my life. If you’re ready to come home to your body, build emotional resilience, and live from a more regulated, responsive place, this one’s for you.

Plus, I invite you to the upcoming FREE online Soulfully Seen Vulnerability Summit from June 2-6th, where we’ll go even deeper into healing and connection.

Register for The Soulfully Seen Vulnerability Summit (June 2-6th)

What you'll hear:

• The Science of Safety: Learn how your nervous system functions and why you might be stuck in survival mode, even when your life appears “fine” on the outside.

• Identifying the Symptoms: Explore signs your nervous system may be dysregulated — like overthinking, emotional reactivity, numbness, people-pleasing, or chronic fatigue.

• Practical, Powerful, and Free: Breathwork is accessible to everyone — no fancy tools or expensive treatments required. Just your breath, and a willingness to show up.

• Breath Awareness: Most people unknowingly breathe into their chest (aka, stress breathing), which keeps the body in a defensive state. Shifting to belly breathing sends a signal of safety and helps calm your entire system.

• Nervous System Reset: Mouth breathing, especially during sleep, overstimulates the body and disrupts rest. Nose breathing filters, warms, and balances the breath, promoting deeper sleep, clearer thinking, and emotional regulation.

• Embodied Practice in Real Time: Experience a guided round of box breathing during the episode to notice how just a few intentional breaths can shift your inner state.

In this episode, I sit down with Brodie Simmons — a counselor, former teen rebel, and passionate advocate for men’s emotional healing  — who shares his incredible journey from selling drugs and getting into fights to healing and purpose. Brodie opens up about growing up in a suppressive environment, finding the one counselor who truly saw him, and how that experience inspired his path into mental health and advocacy for emotional expression, especially in men. We dive into societal conditioning, toxic masculinity, addiction as a coping mechanism, and the power of vulnerability in emotional healing.

What you’ll hear:

• The Turning Point: Brodie shares how a deeply human connection with one counselor during his teenage years shifted his entire trajectory and opened his heart to growth and healing.

• Breaking the Masculinity Mold: We unpack the cultural conditioning that teaches men to suppress sadness and vulnerability— and how Brodie has learned to challenge and unravel those beliefs. We explore the outdated concept of the "alpha male" and explore what true leadership and strength look like— rooted in compassion, respect, and honor.

• The Hidden Cost of Suppression: Brodie reveals how even moments of joy and gratitude were once muted in his life due to emotional repression, and how reclaiming those feelings has expanded his capacity for connection and celebration.

• When Life Forces You to Feel: Brodie reflects on how unexpected life events and isolation during COVID cracked him open and forced him to confront patterns he had long ignored.

• Safe Spaces for Men: He shares the importance of having a sacred space where men can drop the societal mask and be truly seen, supported, and held without judgment— like the Mankind Project.

• Balancing Inner Masculine and Feminine Energies: Together, we discuss how integrating both masculine structure and feminine flow leads to embodiment, connection, and harmony in life and relationships.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I share my journey of reclaiming my power after years of carrying the weight of childhood abuse. I open up about what led me to finally confront my abuser, the physical toll unprocessed trauma took on my body, and the role that Somatic Breathwork played in helping me release stored pain and connect with my inner child. If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to move forward after trauma— this episode offers guidance, tools, and hope to support you through your own healing journey.

What you’ll hear:

• Breaking the Cycle of Trauma: Understand how unresolved abuse can manifest as self-sabotage, toxic patterns, or chronic emotional struggles— and how it continues to steal our power until we choose to reclaim it.

• Confronting Your Abuser with Empowered Truth: How to use your voice to confront the person who hurt you, not from blame or rage, but from a grounded place of healing, clarity, and compassion.

• The Role of the Body in Healing: Learn why trauma lives in the body and how symptoms like sickness, fatigue, or anxiety may actually be signals of stuck emotional pain that needs to be released.

• The Three-Letter Process to Move Through Emotions: I guide you through a transformative writing exercise: first expressing the raw truth, then taking personal responsibility, and finally arriving at forgiveness and gratitude.

• From Powerlessness to Empowerment: Explore how owning your story, feeling the hard stuff, and choosing to no longer wait for others to validate your pain can lead to true liberation and self-leadership.

• Energetic Release Through Cord Cutting: I share my personal cord-cutting ritual, including visualization and symbolism, to help release toxic emotional ties while still honoring any love or connection that may remain.

• Owning Your Voice Without Expectation: You can't control their response— and you don't need to. The power is in the release, not the reaction.

• Stay Rooted in Your Truth: Keep the focus on your experience. Don’t try to change them or make them see. Your healing isn't dependent on their readiness to receive it.

In this episode, we dive into a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about inclusive language, creating safe healing spaces, and exploring gender identity with non-binary guest Nic Caron. Together, we explore the importance of using correct pronouns, the experience of being misgendered, and how somatic practices are helping Nic reconnect with their nervous system. This episode is a beautiful reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of choosing love over division.

What you’ll hear:

• The Power of Being Seen: We explore the deep emotional impact of being misgendered and the importance of using correct pronouns.

• Language Matters: We discuss the importance of using terms like “transgender person” instead of “transgenders,” emphasizing how language can either humanize or dehumanize.

• A Spiritual Perspective on Balance: We reflect on the idea that non-binary and trans individuals may be here to teach us about spiritual harmony— challenging outdated gender roles and guiding us toward a more balanced, authentic way of being.

• Choosing Love Over Division: At a time when political and social divides are growing, this episode serves as a reminder that we all have a role in protecting the rights of others and creating a more compassionate, inclusive world.

• Being Seen is the First Step to Healing: When we areacknowledged for who we truly are— without needing to fit into a box— we create the foundation for deep healing and authenticity.

• Curiosity Over Conformity: If something feels off withinyou, it’s okay to get curious. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start exploring your identity or your truth.

• You're Allowed to Change Your Mind: Whether it's pronouns, style, or even how you identify, you’re allowed to experiment and evolve. That freedom is a fundamental part of discovering who you really are.
