In this episode, I talk with Mimi Young founder of Ceremonie and Open Minds Performance (and just an all-around awesome human being). If you’re interested in the mystical and the mysterious you will LOVE this episode. 

As a Shamanic Intuitive and Neurofeedback Practitioner Mimi does a brilliant job of weaving together the ancient and the modern to create a truly powerful healing experience. What most interested me was Mimi’s Shamanic work and ability to journey through different worlds and connect to spirit allies. She even interpreted a few wild dreams of mine which was such a cool experience. We talk about so many awesome things that I decided to make a list. :)

You’ll hear us talk about…

• How Mimi came to practice Shamanism
• Getting comfortable with psychic gifts
• Clairolfactance (psychic smelling)
• Facing the shadows
• Communicating with nature
• Dream interpretation
• How she uses spells
• Why we dream
• Tuning into deep self-care
• Increasing intuition
• Alter ego embodiment
• Divine timing
• And MANY other awesome things

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I (clearly) enjoyed recording it. I would highly encourage you to check out her offers (linked below) if any of this piqued your interest!

Lots of love as always,

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on slowness, ease, and internal reorganization. 

First and foremost I dive into the basics. Especially right now we need to remind ourselves to slow down. We need to consciously catch ourselves when we're sending ourselves into a mental/emotional tailspin and, with compassion and understanding, tell ourselves a new story. 

Along that same thread, I also dive into EASE and how we can invite more ease into our lives when things feel everything but easy. This is a chance to strengthen the muscle of your mind and catch yourself in the kinds of stories that are causing undue suffering in your daily life.

And finally, we get into the internal reorganization that is going on both globally and personally on an internal level. Which, of course, is one and the same. I ask you some questions that will help start to open up and shift your energy as well as offer up some perspectives and ways you can support yourself today.

Ok you lovely. That’s all for today!

In this episode, I talk with Natalie Kuhn VP of programming and one of the founding teachers of The Class by Taryn Toomey. If you’re looking for an episode that will ground you and lift you up at the same time, this is the one. 

Usually, I like to dive into people’s stories and hear about the journey they’ve been on, however, this conversation just flowed into its own thing. And it was awesome. We talk about our True Home, the home within, and how to best support our body’s in order to have a clearer outlook on life. We also dive into how to BE in times of uncertainty, how to be with and transmute uncomfortable emotions, the importance of breathing and meditation, and many, many other good things. 

Listening to Natalie is being like butter melting in a pan. It’s no wonder she does the work she does. I hope you enjoy this episode with the incredibly grounding, incredibly wise, and incredibly nourishing Natalie Kuhn.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on stepping into the new you. Right now on our planet, we’re undergoing a massive shift. The world as we once knew it will never be the same. And this is a very good thing.

Since we are a global collective, just as the earth is going through a massive transformation, many are finding they are going through the same kind of rebirth internally. Which only makes sense. This time of being forced to stay in our homes is very much like a period of gestation. A time where we can slowly birth this new version of who we are now.

Because I guarantee you have shifted on some level.

In order to do this, really, we don’t have to do anything because it’s already happening. It’s like labor has started and it’s only a matter of time. There are some things you can do to make it easier on yourself though. In this Monday’s Audio Coffee, I pose a few questions you can ask yourself to support you on this journey of rebirth. 

There is a bigger, more potent, more free version of yourself here now. It’s up to you to see it and step into these new shoes you were destined to fill.

In this episode, I talk with Harrison Scott Key and I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much during an interview before. If you’re a dreamer and looking for something to help you along your journey, this is the episode for you. Also, if you’re just looking for a good laugh and need a little lightness in your day, we’ve got you covered.

A little about Harrison, he is the author of two books—Congratulations, Who Are You Again? and The World's Largest Man, winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor. He has spoken at TEDx and hundreds of book festivals, conferences, and universities around the nation. Harrison's humor and nonfiction have appeared in The Best American Travel Writing, Oxford American, Outside, The New York Times, The Bitter Southerner, McSweeney's Internet Tendency, Town & Country, The Mockingbird, Salon, Savannah Magazine, Reader's Digest, Image, Southern Living, Gulf Coast, Creative Nonfiction, and more. He holds an M.F.A. in creative nonfiction and a Ph.D. in playwriting and works at SCAD, where he has held appointments as chair of liberal arts, professor of English, professor of writing, and executive dean. He lives in Savannah, Georgia, with wife and children.

I first found Harrison through is TedX Talk (linked below) which I highly recommend checking out. I was immediately drawn to his sense of humor and honesty about what it takes to follow your dreams. I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I clearly enjoyed recording it.

In this episode, I talk with Keith Condliffe Naturopathic Doctor and deeply insightful human I have been working with for a number of years. I asked Dr. Keith to come on to share his perspective on COVID19 and perhaps help ease our minds and give us some ideas on a few ways we can support ourselves naturally during this time.

A little background on Dr. Keith, he has been practicing naturopathic medicine for 12 years in Vancouver BC and recently made the leap across the water to beautiful Comox on Vancouver Island. What I LOVE about how Dr. Keith practices, and one of the reasons why I think he’s so sought after, is that he uses a bioenergetic technique called Elemental Medicine. Essentially, he scans your energy and has a conversation with your energetic field to determine what would best support your body. It’s very gentle, powerful, and, in my opinion, incredibly cool.

Some things we touch on in this episode include the relation between fear and viral energy, the important reminder COVID19 is providing us, the power of nature and plants, how to ground and soothe anxious energy, what organs to support now, and the natural healing modalities that might be helpful to look into now.

Ok, that’s it for now. I hope you find this special mini-episode supportive.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on staying sane during isolation.

Depending on who you are, staying at home can be either a gift from the heavens or a special kind of nightmare. Regardless of whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, it can be a challenge to spend every waking minute in the same location.

In the past couple of years, I’ve become somewhat of a wizard at being alone and staying home (you’ll hear more as to why in this episode) so I want to impart some of my best pieces of wisdom when to comes to spending a lot of time in your casa.

Uncomfortable emotions that tend to rise up when we’re isolated from our community and of course, our vices. Ultimately for the better? Yes. Easy? Not exactly.

I hope this episode gives you a little support and relief if you find yourself suddenly making best friends with your fridge. ;)

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jeremy Goldberg founder of Long Distance Love Bombs. Jeremy is a writer, speaker, and coach on a mission to make kindness cool, empathy popular, and compassion commonplace. He also happens to be a love bombing kindness pirate. Which I think is pretty spectacular.

We talk about MANY juicy things like living from the heart vs. the mind, taking a leap of faith, changing our internal story, the process of personal growth, self-belief, getting unstuck, creativity, self-love, gratitude, creating change, facing adversity, and MUCH much more.

He was just droppin’ love bombs all over the place.

Another thing that makes this episode special, is that Jeremy made the two bus trek all the way to my home to sit down and have an IN-PERSON chat with me which was such a treat.

I hope you enjoy this much-needed dose of love as much as I did.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on the energy of COVID19 and how you can support yourself.

These are some wild times. I’m also not surprised at what is coming up for the earth right now. Just as it is with us humans, we experience contraction before expansion. The period of contraction is often tense, uncomfortable, worrisome, and forces us to face the shit no longer serving us. I believe that this is what is happening to the world on a global scale. Yes it is painful to face our deepest fears and look at our darkest corners, but it is so beautiful when eventually the weight is lifted, the air is fresh, and a new beginning rises across the horizon.

In this episode, I talk about viral energy and how it feels like anxiety in the body, how viral energy is fear energy, how we can be pragmatic but at the same time not give into or contribute the fear narrative, how we can support ourselves where we are, and the gift of opportunity that sits in front of us now.

I hope this episode makes you feel lighter, loved, and held.

That would make me a very happy human.

In this episode of the Real Rebel Podcast Audio Coffee edition, we riff on happiness. I pose a few questions you can ask yourself to check in on where you stand in regards to YOUR happiness. Almost like a zooming out and making sure we’re on the right place on the map before going further.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of life. So much so that sometimes we can start to feel a low-level misdirection/disconnection with ourselves. It’s so important to check in and see if we’re moving towards the things that make us happy on an individual level. Not what we are told will make us happy or is expected of us when it comes to the life decisions we make.

With spring in the air, the desire to create is REAL and before bringing something into the world it’s super helpful to check in and see if that thing is even the thing you want. Doing so saves us a TON of time and energy in the future. Not to mention, when we’re moving from a place of happiness, we’re tapped into our soul-self and the work we bring forward has that power behind it.

The questions I asked in this episode, in case you’re wanting to pose them to yourself are…

1. What truly makes me happy?
2. What things do I need to take care of that I’ve been avoiding and are weighing me down?
