In this episode of the Sacred Femme Alchemy podcast, I share my personal journey of what the beginning was like in my current partnership. I like to call it my initiation year maturing from the maiden archetype into interdependence. I share intimately about my struggles with abandonment issues, the transition from individuality to partnership, and the emotional work involved in building a healthy, interdependent relationship. 

I also touch on the importance of self-awareness, communication, and growth within a relationship, and how those factors contribute to a healthy partnership dynamic. 

This episode aims to offer hope for my listeners on their own paths to finding love that respects and nourishes their true selves, while also preparing them for their desires of becoming a mother.

I also share personal experiences and insights into how embracing the wild woman archetype can lead to a life of genuine self-expression, courage, and fierce love for yourself. 

Tapping into my inner wild in daily life looks much different than it did before and I activate it through solitude, courage, and unapologetic self-expression.

In this episode of Sacred Femme Alchemy podcast, I welcome guest, Nicolay Jonsson, a certified health coach and yoga teacher specializing in prenatal and postpartum health.

In this heartfelt episode of Sacred Femme Alchemy, I share my personal journey of sobriety, reflecting on thirteen years of being sober! I know there are a lot of sober curious peeps so you’ll def want to tune in as I share my insights, the steps I took to get sober as a lifestyle change, how my  definition of sobriety has evolved over time and the profound impact it had on my relationships and self-awareness. 

I also get intimate on the profound growth I experienced through embracing spirituality, personal growth, and self-love, using modalities like inner child work and various spiritual somatic practices.

Being on this path has led me to be more confident, cultivate better relationships with my parents, and attract an emotionally nourishing relationship with my partner. It has also led to many doors and most importantly allowed me to live a life that I love and am proud of because I make decisions from an emotionally sober place - a life that turns me on and is filled with pleasure in recognizing both the lightness and darkness.
