On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast, I talk with myself! Things have been a little slow moving lately. I talk a LOT about the natural ebbs and flows of life and how they’re inevitable. I think we tend to give ourselves such a hard time when life slows down or we need to take a pause or a rest. But the fact remains that living life at full-speed all the time just isn’t sustainable.

So, I thought I would walk my talk and instead of pushing what naturally didn’t want to happen this week (a guest episode), I chose to release resistance, surrender to what was and just jam out on a solo episode.

I decided to use this episode as a chance to dive deep into the topic of being in an ebb. I riff on how we can find peace of mind during a time that can sometimes want to make us want to run and hide under the covers. Which, no judgment, I’m currently writing this very post while submerged under my giant duvet. #justbeingahuman

Essentially this is all in the spirit of going with the natural currents of life. Yes, action is important, yes hard work is required, yes focus and drive are key players. But we are a part of nature and as such, we do better when we decide to dance with universal law instead of trying to ninja kick it to the ground so it can just get the eff out of our way (best of luck friend).

So here’s to not pushing. Especially when life is asking you to pause and not push. Here’s to taking a breath, zooming out, recalibrating, and not berating ourselves for not being perfect robots with calculator brains and literal buns of steel.

The f*cking end.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we dive into the topic of adjusting our vision and overflow. When we have been in an ebb and have let go or shed some outdated parts of ourselves, there can be a moment of pause or suspension before we click into a time of flow. In these moments we can often find it a bit unsettling as we feel naked and a bit empty. It’s almost as if we’re in a bit of an identity crisis. We’re definitely no longer who we were which is why it’s so important to readjust and recalibrate our vision.

Having a vision that inspires us and pulls us forward is so important. Otherwise, we end up trodding along without any real direction. This can often lead us feeling frustrated, lost, and in a continued state of suspension. So when we find ourselves in this place it’s important to ask ourselves questions like…

• Who do I really want to become?
• What lights me up?
• What both scares me and excites me?
• How can I expand my vision beyond what I thought was possible?
• What are some out of this world good things that could happen?

Essentially it’s about expanding your edges and writing a new story, a new beat, that you will walk to. It just has to be inspiring enough that it will pull you forward and carry you through those moments when things get a little dark and the road gets a little bumpy.

We talk about all of this and more including what to look out for as you recalibrate your vision, the idea of living fearlessly, and how we can open ourselves up to overflow.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Band of Rebels edition, we're featuring RRP Crew members Meg Kelley, Miriam Elyse, and Soshy Adelstein. The question we are posing today is "If you could make a 2-minute speech to the whole world, what would you say?”

The Band of Rebels series was designed to act as a platform for the voices of the RRP Community. So often we listen to a podcast and don't ever connect with fellow listeners. We also live in a world where we're judged by the number of followers we have. Often times we only end up hearing the wisdom and voices of those who have large social followings. This isn't to say those humans are lovely humans, I just feel it's important to branch out. Just because someone has 10 followers doesn't mean they don't know some good sh*t worth sharing.

I firmly believe that we all have a deep inner-wisdom, regardless of the number of followers we have to our name. The Band of Rebels series puts the mic in the hands of people you might not otherwise hear from while simultaneously connects you lovely listeners with other listeners whose wisdom might just be the remedy you needed.

Lots of love!

 On this episode of the RRP Audio Coffee, I’m riffing all on the rebirth process and more specifically the part of the rebirth I like to call “the space between places”. That leg of our journey where we’re being asked to step up, but the fear of the unknown can often lead us feeling frozen in place or stuck in the mud. Often times it is the taking action part of our process that is the most challenging part. Either we’re used to things being shitty so we stick with the familiar, or we’re afraid of what’s to come so we… stick to the familiar. Hopefully, this episode gives you some peace and spaciousness of mind so you can find enough stillness to act from a place of inspiration and trust that you have everything you need to take you where you need to go on this next leg of your journey.

The question we are posing today is "If you were sitting across the table from your 5-year-old self, what do you think she would say to you, and what would you say to her?”

On this episode, I talk with Samy Nour Younes an incredible Trans Activist who recently did an incredible TedTalk called “A Short History of Trans People’s Long Fight for Equality”. At the date of this podcast episode release his talk currently stands at over 1.2 million views.

It was an absolute pleasure to talk with Sam for many reasons. One being that he is incredibly knowledgable and wise especially when it comes to the history and current experience of trans people. My eyes were opened more than once as Sam took me through his personal experience as well as the experience of other groups within the trans community.

Sam is definitely a force for good on this earth and with his strong voice and pureness of heart and intention. once cannot even begin to estimate the full impact of his decision to speak his truth, and speak for those who have yet to find the fullness in their own voice.

I hope you enjoy this heartfelt, educational, and incredibly inspirational episode as much as I did recording it.

On this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we dive into receiving and why we sometimes find it difficult to allow what we truly desire into our lives. We also talk about why becoming the most fully-expressed version of ourselves is so important. Especially when it comes to manifesting those desires we dream of receiving.

As always on the Audio Coffee episode, I pull from my energy decks. This time four cards (as opposed to my usual one) and mix up a Monday Mashup that will hopefully leave you feeling inspired, supported, and like you’re not alone in this crazy life journey.

Lots of love!
