Quiet Brave Radio

This week's solo cast is about how, as of late, I'm getting out of my head and into my body by returning to the one way I've always known how.

I share unearthing the shame that kept me stagnant for so long and what has happened in just 11 days of showing up to explore what it really looks like (i.e. taking action) to welcome this idea back into my life, including being tested by my inner mean girl. 

Perfect for anyone who's feeling called to practice using their relationship to their body as a way to increase their vitality and joy.

I knew Morgan Wade was the kinda woman I wanted to know more about the moment I found out her animated hero was Captain Planet. In this episode Morgan tells us about being 7 when she experienced being aware of her own consciousness for the first time. Then openly shares, when just a few years later, at the tender age of 12 a deep loss that catapulted an already existing spiritual maturity to a new heights.

Despite spending so long feeling different than her peers and responsible for being her own space holder, Morgan found her way out of her way out of feeling lonely by learning how to come home to herself and seeking kindred spirits.

There's no mistaking Morgan's personal commitment and crusade towards conscious living as one part paying attention, one part releasing and all parts of our awakening as a soft unfolding.

For anyone who desires to live in a way that's consistently attentive without what you've been through be what defines or derails you from the life you really want, this conversation is for you.

So if you're ready for to enter a heart opening space about life, loss, and how to use letting go and as a way to learn how to be more of who you already are, I lovingly introduce you to Morgan Wade.

Yelena is one of the only people I was following for a really long time before reaching out to ask her to be on the show. Her amazing brainchild, The Confetti Project is something I resonate with deeply, because of how much gratitude has changed my own life. And I wanted to know more about the woman behind the lens responsible for giving others such a powerful platform.

In our heart to heart, Yelena takes us behind the scenes and into her extremely sheltered life as the first born of two immigrant parents. We talk about being a highly emotional, energetic, rule follower to sneaking out the night before she started college and carving her own unconventional path.

She shares how confetti got her through losing her dad to cancer and how, long after his passing, it continues to inspire her to live her life as deliberately as possible. A life dedicated to being on your own side, finding joy in whatever you're going through, using creativity to transmute your sorrows and taking care of yourself as a way to invite what others call impossible, into your life with ease.

For anyone who has ever felt unsure of their voice, or as if they've spent too long following the road paved out for you by others, or just want to learn how to use the idea of your mortality as the springboard for living full out with kindness, awareness, curiosity and compassion this conversation is for you.

As a side note, if you follow me on Instagram you know I had major tech issues with this episode and when I went into the track the 3rd time around I decided to focus more on the quality of sound than anything else. Making this track a little longer and way more uncut than our previous episodes but a definite representation of the magic that transpired and 100% worth every minute of your attention.

So if you're ready for to a very tender and honest conversation about coming into your own in a way that's fluid, free and full of soul, I lovingly introduce you to Jelena Aleksich.

Inspired by a quote I found months ago, in this week's solo cast I'm talking about the idea of empty can receive and how it has become an integral part of my reflective practice especially when I face resistance, overwhelm or confusion. 

I talk about how letting go and containers play their role in this conversation. I also share two recent experiences to show how this idea can play out in a concrete and an abstract way, what I really think it's inviting us to do and one question that could prompt your own exploration with it.

This episode is perfect for anyone who feels ready to invite the new into their lives, finds themselves hesitant to surrender to the unknown and wants to do it in her own way.
