What if your past doesn’t have to decide your future in love?



In this episode, I sit down with Elitsa Velikova, a family constellation practitioner and therapist to discuss the hot topic of relationships, both moving beyond past relationships and readying yourself for healthy love.

The conversation goes deep into the ways our family of origin and past partners shape how we love today. We talk about what it takes to truly complete old relationships, how mother and father dynamics play out in intimacy, and what it means to turn toward healthy connection as an adult.

You’ll Learn:

• The reason your past relationships and family dynamics don’t have to dictate your future in love
• What happens when you carry unresolved loyalty to your parents into adult partnerships
• The three movements needed to go beyond your mother and stand in your own life
• The link between unfinished endings with ex-partners and struggles in new relationships
• What a good ending with a past partner actually looks like in practice
• The damage of staying entangled with your father and how it shapes intimacy as a woman
• Why gratitude, not forgiveness, is the key to closing old relationship chapters
• What it feels like to embody another’s role in a family constellation and gain unexpected insight
• How unresolved trauma from your lineage can silently repeat in your own relationships
• The shift that happens when you see your parents as resources rather than burdens

She shares her own path from chasing achievement and validation to finding fulfillment in partnership and writing her book, Eve’s Second Chance.

What if being a “career woman” is actually what’s burning us out?



In this episode, I take you inside my own shift from running a business that constantly drained me to finally feeling what it’s like when work becomes an exhale. The story moves through the stages of female entrepreneurship, from the codependent “good wife” model to the reliable “good husband” that provides and grows.

Along the way, you’ll hear about the toll of micromanagement, the endless chase of shiny new strategies, and the messy lessons I learned with consultants. The turning point came when I stopped clinging to control and trusted real leadership, which let my team carry the vision instead of me. For the first time, my business feels like it supports me rather than the other way around

You’ll Learn:

• The toll careerism takes on women’s health and relationships
• What it feels like to run a “good wife” business that drains you
• The difference between vendors, managers, and true leaders
• Why hiring leaders you don’t direct changes everything
• The damage of micromanagement and employee dependence
• The link between feminine polarity and business freedom
• How shiny object syndrome keeps teams stuck in chaos
• Why operational leaders and sales leaders need different strengths
• What it feels like when systems and vision finally align
• The path to a “good husband” business that provides and grows

What if everything you were taught about living on Earth is wrong?



In this episode I sit down with Austin Witsit, a researcher and debater who has built an extensive library of evidence on why we’re not spinning on a ball in space. He’s known for bringing rigor to a subject that’s often dismissed and for holding his own in countless debates.

We get into his path from hearing a rapper mention flat earth to becoming one of the most outspoken voices in the field, why cosmology feels like the “glitch in the matrix” that changes everything, and how he handles conversations at a party without pulling out the sword. We also talk about the unseen realm, the idea of ether, and why the way we transmit this information, especially to the next generation, matters just as much as the facts themselves.

You’ll Learn:

• The moment that sparked Austin into questioning the shape of the earth
• Why cosmology acts as a “glitch in the matrix” that reshapes an entire worldview
• The surprising link between flat earth debates and discovering the unseen realm
• What it feels like to realize we can see much farther than the globe model allows
• How debates with PhDs often reveal more about academic bias than science itself
• The role of the ether and why it was removed from mainstream cosmology
• What ancient civilizations knew about vibration, frequency, and the nature of reality

What if shame wasn’t the enemy but the doorway?

In this episode I sit down with my dear friend, pole dance teacher, and new author Wendy Diaz, who writes under the pen name Selene Ashé. She’s just released her first book Diary of a Bad Bitch, a work that blends memoir and erotic nonfiction.

We get into her journey with pole dance as a path of self-expression, the permission it creates for women to explore their sensuality, and the way her writing opens space for honest, vulnerable conversations about sexuality and creativity.

• What it feels like to face waves of shame and discover safety in sensual expression
• The link between childhood innocence and adult erotic energy
• Why female versus male gaze changes everything in dance and performance
• The quiet damage of women judging each other’s expression, and what happens when that shifts
• Why creativity should be treated as a daily priority rather than a side project
• The raw process of writing erotic nonfiction and why using a pen name mattered to her
• What it takes to set the stage for authentic movement and see where the body leads

What happens when your biggest fear comes true and you’re branded a monster by your own community?



In this episode I sit down with Katherine Finley, a former psychotherapist who lost her license after stepping outside the bounds of her board. She spent ten years in the field, specializing in trauma, before her career was abruptly cut short.

We talk about the patterns that led her into the rescuer role, what it was like to have her license revoked, and how she faced public shaming from her professional community. Katherine takes me into the raw moments of shame, the gut punch of being called dangerous, and the process of wearing what she calls the “villain crown.” This is a story about turning persecution into initiation and finding freedom on the other side of judgment.

You’ll Learn:

• The reason Katherine’s psychotherapy license was revoked in 2020
• What it feels like to be publicly labeled “dangerous” by colleagues
• The quiet damage of overgiving and the rescuer role in clinical work

• The turning point that shifted her view of villains, victims, and darkness in the world
• What changes when you stop defending yourself and hold your own sovereignty
• How a certain animal became an unexpected teacher in her healing and coaching work

In this episode, I talk about why desire will never stop, and why that’s actually a good thing.



I share my response to a listener struggling with perfectionism and the fear of passing it on to her daughter. I talk about the insatiable nature of feminine desire, how entitlement creeps in when we lose awareness, and why learning to appreciate even the smallest moments can change everything. I share how I practice this in my own life, from focusing on the comfort of a blanket during a water fast to letting my kids make their own choices, even when it’s inconvenient for me. And I break down how desire, when it’s met with consciousness, can become a powerful force for creation instead of a source of suffering.

You’ll Learn:

• The real reason feminine desire never feels satisfied
• What happens when entitlement sneaks into your relationship with desire
• The surprising link between gratitude and breaking free from the addiction to “more”
• How noticing tiny comforts can shift you out of overwhelm
• Why teaching your kids to honor their own wants can change how your family functions
• The quiet damage of living from “owe” and “deserve”
• How to recognize when your desire is healthy versus when it’s fueled by fear
• The practice that can help you feel fullness even in uncomfortable moments
• Why coming into union with your desire is the most powerful work you can do as a woman

In this episode, I talk about how what we call love can actually be an addiction.

I share how I began questioning the way we label addiction as a disease and why abstinence models often keep people stuck. I look at how patterns of chaos, stimulation, and emotional highs and lows show up not just with substances but in love, work, and conflict. I talk about what the rat park studies and early attachment teach us about why we reach for these patterns, and why real intimacy can feel unbearable when our nervous system is wired for drama. I also share the four questions I use to examine any addictive habit so we can start finding what’s on the other side.

You’ll Learn:



• The real reason intensity can feel safer than peace
• What happens when your nervous system is addicted to chaos
• How love addiction mimics substance abuse patterns
• Why you might unconsciously choose partners who can’t meet your needs
• The surprising link between childhood attachment wounds and romantic drama
• What it feels like to reclaim your inner “little no” and trust your gut
• How to identify the upside you’re secretly getting from addictive habits
• The quiet damage of ignoring subtle inner signals
• Why true sobriety goes far beyond quitting alcohol
• A 4-step framework to examine your relationship with any addictive pattern

What if everything you believed about college was a lie?

In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Maruyama of Degree Free, who, alongside her husband, has dedicated her life to helping young people reject the myth that college is the only path to success. She’s not just talking theories, she’s working directly with 16 to 20-year-olds, helping them carve out real, debt-free futures that actually align with their values.



We get into why the college system is fundamentally broken, how it became a trillion-dollar trap, and what we can do instead.

• What happens when you tell teens they need a degree to succeed

What if everything you think about parenting is backwards?



In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tom Cowan, physician, author, Waldorf school consultant, and someone I consider a true elder in the space of soul-deep wisdom. Tom has spent decades questioning dominant narratives in medicine, biology, and now parenting. His latest book, Commonsense Childrearing, brings a radically different lens to the way we raise our children, one that’s grounded in trust, presence, and actual lived experience.

We talk about what it really means to get on your child’s team, how “bad” behavior is often a form of communication, and why the instinct to punish or correct usually backfires. Tom shares stories from his clinical practice and personal life that reframe everything from food fights to emotional outbursts, including why you probably shouldn’t play with your kids. This one cracked me open. I hope it does the same for you.

You’ll Learn:

• What actually stops kids from drawing on the walls, and why punishment backfires
• The real reason food fights happen at the dinner table
• Why “tolerance” classes often teach the opposite of what they intend
• The surprising link between parenting and government-style control
• What it feels like to truly get on your child’s team, even when you disagree
• How emotional maturity in parents unlocks deeper connection with kids
• Why you probably shouldn’t play with your children, and what to do instead
• The quiet damage of coercive schooling and praise-based discipline
• A radical reframe of “bad” behavior as a form of communication
• What happens when you give your child full sovereignty over their choices
