Episode 17 - I Called Off My Wedding Because Of Dream - with Crystal Jones

Learning to trust your intuition so much so that you call off a wedding because of a dream??? Sounds crazy right? But that's exactly what my guest Crystal Johns did! 

Together in this episode we explore the intersection of light therapy and crystal healing, discussing the importance of chakras, personal growth, and the role of intuition in relationships. Crystal shares her journey of self-discovery, the impact of her upbringing, and how she merged her passion for crystals with light therapy to create healing products. We also go deep into the significance of trusting oneself,  and the journey of healing through self-responsibility and awareness.

This week's meditation is all about learning to connect and trust your gut.

Episode 16 - Confessions Of A Reformed Drug Dealer Pt 2

We had so much to talk about so we decided to do another episode straight after! In this one we delve into the complexities of authentic communication, particularly in the context of grief and emotional struggles. We explore the challenges of expressing true feelings in a world that often prefers surface-level interactions. Through personal anecdotes and shared experiences, we emphasize the importance of being heard, the role of listening, and the need for genuine connections. Our conversation highlights the significance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and the acceptance of all emotional states as part of the human experience.

We laugh, we learn, we love on this episode as much as we did on the previous one - so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it!

Episode 12 .... The Topic To End All Topics....

In this conversation, I speak about the challenges of making difficult decisions, particularly in the context of friendships and relationships. I touch on the importance of radical acceptance and communication, and I share some of my own personal experiences that highlight the need for open dialogue.

 I also bring to the table the significance of letting go, finding one's voice, and the power of self-reflection through the 1 Minute Meditation at the end.

This was a bit of a choppy and rant-y episode but I hope it helps someone who maybe struggling with their need for open communication - I really do believe all of us need to open up more, listen more and be more truthful in how we honestly feel within ourselves and each other. Surface level shit is just not cutting it these days - at least for me anyway.
