256. This week I am thrilled to welcome back my friend and fellow burlesque dancer Michelle L’amour. Tune into our heartfelt and deeply honest conversation as we explore what it truly means to choose yourself. After more than twenty years of marriage and a recent divorce, Michelle finds herself in the midst of a profound awakening. Having recently moved across the country to New York City, she is rediscovering who she is, what she wants, and is redefining her relationship to herself, love, creativity, and self-worth. Our conversation is tender, raw, and full of truth as we talk about the courage it takes to set boundaries, listen to the wisdom of your body, and reclaim your voice after a lifetime of putting others first.

255. Join me this week as I explore the practice of mirror work, the simple yet profound act of looking into your own eyes and speaking words of kindness, love, and truth. Popularized by Louise Hay, mirror work helps us build self-acceptance, soften self-criticism, and connect deeply with our inner spirit. But can it also be considered an anti-inflammatory practice? Tune in as I dive into how self-talk and compassion may calm the stress response, lower inflammation, and bring both emotional and physical healing.

251. Tune in this week as I share,  “Everything Belongs: A Manifesto of Embodied Awakening” by astrologer, author and musician, Rob Brezsny. Take a deep breath, settle in, and let the words move through you.

Everything Belongs: A Manifesto of Embodied Awakening

"In the midst of Life-on-Earth’s gorgeous, wrenching, poignant glory, everything belongs. Each yearning I feel to love and be loved, every worry and hope I feel about the future, every confusion that mystifies me and every joy that exalts me: they all belong to the chaotically magnificent totality of being human."

247. How often do you catch yourself saying “I should…” I should eat healthier, I should exercise more, I should be more productive. Those “shoulds” might feel motivating, but more often they create guilt, self-criticism, and shame that keep us stuck. Tune in this week as I share a fresh reflection and a personal story, then revisit an earlier episode “Stop Shoulding Yourself,” where I explain why “should” is can be a harmful word, how it impacts our wellbeing, and three practical ways to break free from the cycle. If you’ve been feeling weighed down by “shoulds,” this conversation will help you shift toward more trust, compassion, and ease.
