In this episode, we are taking a look at the role that discipline plays in our life. 

While it a beautiful skill to cultivate, the scales can easily be tipped into an overly egoic territory. I share how I unconsciously slipped into a prison of my own making… letting my discipline become walls I was building around myself. 

We explore:

• What balance actually means in our life
• How to work in partnership with our Higher Self to create a sustainable, aligned life that reflects our values
• Structure vs. spontaneity
• The relationships - within and without - that need refinement 
• The necessity of enthusiasm in our daily routines

We are in a season of transformation. An energy shift. A change in momentum. 

Maybe you can feel this in your own life... this stirring. Maybe you can notice it with the blooming of the daffodils out your window. Maybe you can sense it with the light staying later here in the northern hemisphere. 

But no matter where you are at in the world… things are shifting. 

Today's episode talks about how to best prepare for this change in energy... this change in season. We explore how to ride the wave of the energy rather than getting swept away or knocked off center. When we work with the rhythms of nature, we optimize our lives.  

Things we cover:

• The Vacuum Law of Prosperity
• The origins of spring cleaning and why it is such potent energy to lean in to
• Being the villain in someone else's story
• Chipping away at that which is not a part of the masterpiece you are becoming
• Riding the waves of life with more grace and trust

In today's quick episode, we channel the Warrior archetype, which is within each and every one of us. 

We approach this archetype through the lens of the Divine Feminine. 

We talk about the hero's journey… but not in the linear, strong, muscled approach that is often portrayed from an unhealed masculine perspective. The Divine Feminine, which also lives within each and every one of us, navigates the hero's journey by being courageous in the descent through the darkness. 

With a subtle shift in language and perspective, we can honor both the divine masculine and feminine qualities within us. It is through honoring this union that we can navigate the more challenging seasons of life with the trust in their cyclical nature... with more surrender, grace, and flow. 

Remember that you are supported. 

You are needed. 

And you are EXACTLY where you need to be at this moment in time.

TLC says it best in their song, "Unpretty". 

Money can buy pretty... but pretty will change tomorrow... and next year... and we will forever be chasing… always behind… never enough... if that’s our objective.

The time and energy and resources we spend chasing "pretty" keep us distracted from what we should actually be pursuing in this lifetime: our purpose, our passions, our dreams, our desires. 

In this season where New Year’s resolutions can still feel really loud or heavy... and where we might feel like we are drained or fading... I thought we could all use this reminder of our beauty-fullness today. 

Attraction, physical appearance... yes, they matter... but not at the cost of our self-love.

Happy Lunar New Year! 

We survived the year of the Wood Snake and have officially entered the year of the Fire Horse. 

We have shed layers. We have grieved losses and faced hardships. We have grown. We have evolved. A shift has happened and is continuing to happen, at an accelerated speed. I know that you can feel this. 

Today's episode asks us to look at what wounds we might still be carrying forward with us... and what stories are keeping us from even getting up on the horse before the ride has even begun. What is holding us back from our greatness? 

If there is one thing to walk away from this episode with it is this: You are enough. That is non-negotiable. 

Let's ride into this new year together with more self-love and more self-trust... Believing in our wholeness.

January came in fast and furious, and I think many of us are still trying to find our footing. 

This episode is an energetic check-in. 

Let it be a steady place to land, a chance to listen to something loving. Hit play and join me for a quick reset... such deliciously low-hanging fruit to work some self-care into your day.

We explore: 

• Where we blur the lines of patiently tolerating and self-abandoning
• Whether we are practicing who we have been or who we are becoming
• Where we might be outsourcing our decisions and calibrating to other people before our Self
• The gift of paying attention and delighting in ordinary moments
• The importance of intentionally filling our cup and taking responsibility for what spills out
• The balance between being both the observer and the participant of our lives
• The need for emotional mastery and maturity this season
• How overexplaining is often disguising self-doubt
• Why your breakdown is actually a good thing
• Your energetic bank account
