As I guided a client through a journey of remembering her sensuality & sexuality, I experienced my own reverent moment of seeing how far I’ve come in my own capacity for connection.

I found a theme in this process of uncovering and amongst all of the transformation and goodness - presence. Presence is a powerful portal to all of the juicy goodness that this life has to offer us.

In today’s episode, I share some inspiration from my whirlwind week and some impactful ways to expand your own capacity for the good stuff so you can tap into more micro-moments of goodness, pleasure, and sensuality in your life.

I dive into:

• Presence as a portal for pleasure and expansion
• The process of uncovering your sexuality & sensuality (or any other part of you that wants to be revealed)
• Avoiding intimacy with others and/or ourselves
• A simple step to bringing more sensuality & pleasure into your day
• And more

What is the edge that you’re not used to leaning into? 

Identifying these gaps in our healing is very important for our process (but so is being in approval of ourselves - we don’t want to forget to meet ourselves exactly where we are). 

In today’s episode, I’m exploring leaning into the edges that we avoid and how to identify where those edges are so we can really tap into what needs attention. Join me for this conversation on expanding our capacity for self-trust so we can practice being really honest with ourselves - while still honoring where we are. 

I dive into:

• Identifying the gaps in our healing & why we want to explore these places
• The importance of digestion & celebration in the healing process
• Exploring your edges by doing the “opposite”
• One of the most common blocks to healing - and how to avoid it
• Holding the duality of leaning into your gaps while still being in approval of where you are
• And more

When I was young, I hated how sensitive I was. This led to a disapproval of myself & what made me special - and a disconnection from my most powerful gifts (and what would later become my medicine). What is the thing that you’ve been ashamed of? What is that thing that keeps coming up for you that you judge yourself for?

Bringing love & attention to these parts of yourself, and alchemizing the shame around them, actually turns your gifts into medicine you can share with the world. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a transmission on alchemizing the shame around our gifts and honoring who we are so we can fully serve in the way we’ve been called to. Your unique & sacred path is waiting for you - will you fully embrace it?

I dive into:

• Alchemizing the shame around your gifts (so you can start using them to serve yourself and others)
• How your unique journey, wounds, and experiences add to your medicine
• Releasing victimhood and exploring trauma through the lens of the divine
• Allowing for the flow of contraction & expansion
• Deepening and honoring your own medicine
• And more

I know that sales & marketing can be a huge edge for a lot of us. We often think we’ll annoy our people instead of connecting with them.

But the truth is, to help others heal the parts of themselves that are keeping them stuck - we need to get to the root of our own edges and work with the undercurrents so we can bring more of ourselves to the sales process and actually serve people. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a transmission on my current visibility edge of marketing my medicine, how I’m getting to the root of the fear & resistance, and some inspiration to help you if you’re struggling with sales, marketing, or visibility. 

I dive into:

• How the sales & marketing visibility edge is showing up in my business (and how it could be showing up for you)
• “I don’t want to annoy people” - some of the common wounding around this thought
• How I’m doing business differently now and letting the human network guide me
• Discovering your “why” even deeper and what can happen as you get to the root
• Getting more comfortable selling your medicine (no one can receive it if you don’t talk about it!)
• How anger alchemy has been pushing me to the next level of my visibility
• And more

We are all yin and we are all yang, both energies work together within us. This means that our anger can be expressed, felt, and alchemized using either (or both) energies. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my experiences with disassociation & anger, how they led to the anger alchemy modality I use today with my students, and the differences between yin-based and yang-based rage practices. Whether you experience your anger as outward rage & blowups or you tend to go inward & suppress it - there is a way for you to get to the root and meet yourself exactly where you are. Let’s get into it. 

I dive into:

• The yin-based & yang-based approaches to anger alchemy
• My experiences with disassociation & disconnection from my body for 2 decades (and what it took to find healing)
• Performance in anger alchemy work (or any other area of our lives)
• Yang Rage Practices - are they working for us or against us?
• And more

The grey area - the mundane, subtle, in-between work of healing.

Are you avoiding this space? Maybe you’re even spiritually bypassing it so you don’t have to actually be with “the thing” that needs attention? 

This week’s episode was inspired by a recent call I had with the women in my anger alchemy group. We discussed this idea of the black, white & grey of the healing process, the tricky ways we can block ourselves from being present with our anger (or any other thing we want to heal), and why being exactly where you are - in that in-between space - is exactly what your emotional alchemy requires. 

I dive into:

• The grey area of emotional alchemy work - and why you don’t want to skip this part
• How you could be (subconsciously) spiritually bypassing in your healing journey
• Some of the trickiest ways we can block ourselves from healing
• Why meditation & breathing work can sometimes be a tool to bypass or avoid
• The “quick fix” & its relationship to the belief in self
• And more

I used to be so unkind to myself. My mind worked hard to create stories that set me up for dysregulation and suffering. And still does, because that's what the mind does.

And this is exactly why I adopted the practice of becoming fierce and protective of my peace. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a transmission on inner boundary work, specifically how you can protect your peace, so you can shift into a deep compassion for yourself and a devotion to your own energy, wellness & aliveness.

Are you willing to say yes to yourself - and no to the bullshit? Join me for this one. 

I dive into:

• Protecting your peace: creating boundaries with yourself for more abundance & connection
• Making small shifts to stop being so mean to yourself
• What I learned from dog training that relates to the ego
• My favorite tips to help you begin a practice in your own life of protecting your peace
• And more
