The Aura Lab

What happens when the things we genuinely desire don't fit the identities we've built?

In this episode, I'm sharing two very different experiences that have been unfolding during the current Venus retrograde in Scorpio. One desire felt almost too ordinary to admit. The other, almost too outrageous to explore.

And yet, both have brought me face-to-face with the same questions: Who am I when I stop making my desires wrong? What parts of myself have I suppressed in order to be acceptable? And what becomes possible when I give myself permission to explore without needing to know where it's all leading?

We explore Venus retrograde as an invitation into shadow work, the unconscious beliefs that shape our relationships, the ways we exchange and surrender power, and the freedom that comes from loosening our attachment to who we think we're supposed to be.

This is a conversation about desire, identity, reclamation, and the courage to choose differently.

In July I started a 30-day Healy scan series to find out what was blocking me from manifesting my dream home. Four days in, I stopped, because the thing I was calling in showed up. This episode is the real story of what happened in the 48 hours between getting the invitation and saying yes — and why that space was harder than anything that came before it.

I unpack the quantum crumble: the deconstruction that has to happen before any real leap, and why almost nobody talks about it. I get honest about the protective mechanisms I'd built around a five-year desire, what it actually meant to release the reasons I'd been carrying for why I couldn't have it, and why the outcome is never the hard part — it's who you become in the space before the evidence arrives.

In this episode:

• The difference between wanting something and being ready to let yourself have it
• How we bury our biggest desires to protect ourselves from the pain of not getting them
• The quantum crumble: why every leap requires a composting first
• What it means to "perform" a story of lack, struggle, or smallness — and who that's really protecting
• Why manifestation is ultimately a practice of honesty, not effort

Mentioned in this episode:

• Episode 75: The Gap Between Hearing Your Inner Voice and Trusting It (example of a Healy scan)
• Episode 51: The Future Is Frequency (how the Healy works)

In this episode, I sit down with Jayme Alilaw — coach, opera singer, and founder of From the Core Coaching — for a conversation that moves through military discipline, nomadic surrender, and the slow work of rediscovering how to feel in a world that wants us to do everything but.

Jayme takes us through her path from enlisting in the Army to a decade of achievement-driven momentum, to the moment everything she'd built her success on stopped working. We talk about what it means to be led by intuition instead of forcing outcomes, why rest can feel like danger in a body shaped by capitalism and ancestral survival, and how grace — not more effort — is what actually carries you through the in-between.

We get into:

• Why "the path to peace is peace," and how chasing rest through hard work keeps you stuck in hard
• The difference between surviving (our comfort zone) and thriving (the real edge)
• Wisdom for the disorienting season between who you were and who you're becoming
• Why asking to be acknowledged for who you are, not what you produce, is advanced-level self-work
• Seeing your life — gutter and all — through the eyes of the divine

This one is tender, funny, and deeply honest. Grab your tea and settle in.

We're doing something new!

In this episode, I'm introducing what may become a recurring series on the Aura Lab podcast: collective energy reports using the Healy device. If you're listening to this — whether in real time or years from now — your energy is included in this scan. There is no time or distance on the quantum field.

The desired state I scanned for: I'm living in resonance with my highest frequency.

The only area flagged as most needing attention for Aura Lab listeners? Spirituality. Not because you're disconnected from it — but because there's a gap between the spirituality you know in your bones and what you're actually allowing yourself to live.

In this episode we move through all six pieces of the report, including:

• How you're overriding your intuition without even realizing it
• What it means that "I am a necessary part of the divine plan" showed up in your field
• The silence and breath practices your energy is literally prescribing
• The difference between expanding toward desire vs. contracting in scarcity

What if reclaiming your pleasure is the most revolutionary thing you can do right now?

In this rich conversation, I sit down with author, somatic psychotherapist, and pleasure educator Carly Mountain to explore eros as a life force, the approaching 2027 Human Design collective shift, and what it truly means to untame our pleasure.

We explore:

• What erotic energy actually is, and why it's so much bigger than sex
• The 2027 Human Design shift and why intimacy, sexuality, and honest relating are the frontier of our collective evolution
• Why the darkness is not where we get lost, but where we rebirth
• Masculine and feminine energy reclamation for all genders
• Pleasure as healing instead of reward

After a four-month hiatus, I'm sharing the real reason I stepped away from my business, podcast, and online presence.

In this episode, we explore lineage wounds, ancestral patterns, identity death, entrepreneurship, nervous system healing, and the hidden ways our family dynamics shape our relationships, visibility, success, and capacity to receive.

I share the journey that brought me back to my hometown, the profound healing that unfolded with my mother, and why sometimes the most aligned thing we can do is let an old chapter end - even when we don't know what's coming next.

This is the final installment (for now!) of my mini-series featuring some of the incredible female entrepreneurs and visionaries who have moved through Conscious Business Salon.

In today's conversation, you'll meet Miranda Arnold: copywriter turned girl-with-no-job-title who's actively working on getting paid to exist.

Miranda's story is one of the most profound types of transformation: not just building a different business… but allowing herself to outgrow one entirely. When she entered Conscious Business Salon, she was operating from burnout, hyper-independence, and deep conditioning around struggle equaling worth. What unfolded over the following year and a half was a full identity shift into pleasure, magnetism, nervous system safety, feminine embodiment, and the courage to design life on her own terms.

Together, we explore what happens when success is no longer built through force - but through receiving, embodiment, and energetic alignment.

In this episode, we explore:

• The mindset and nervous system patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in burnout, hyper-independence, and over-efforting
• How pleasure, slowness, embodiment, and nervous system work become catalysts for magnetism, money, and opportunity
• The surprising impact of the sisterhood wound on visibility, confidence, and business growth
• What it actually looks like to trust timing and intuition without forcing clarity or outcomes
• The permission to evolve beyond a business/identity that no longer fits
• Miranda's decision to build both passion-led work and passive-income structures that support her freedom and chosen lifestyle

For the next few weeks, I'm sharing bonus episodes featuring some of the incredible female entrepreneurs and visionaries who have moved through Conscious Business Salon so you can hear what this space is like from the inside.

In today's conversation, you'll meet Farrah Smith: channel, Emotional Liberation Artist, and Inner Voice Facilitator devoted to helping women reclaim their expression, sovereignty, and embodied truth. Farrah's work lives at the intersection of intuitive awakening, emotional deconditioning, and identity reclamation - and this conversation is a powerful behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to trust your gifts and live from them.

Together, we explore Farrah's journey from people-pleasing and overgiving into deep self-trust, energetic authority, and full ownership of her intuitive and mediumship gifts, and how Conscious Business Salon supported her in creating safety to be seen, heard, and expressed in her work and life.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it actually feels like when intuitive and channeling gifts begin to come online
• The transition from "spiritual curiosity" to full ownership of your intuitive identity
• What power really is, and why it has absolutely nothing to do with control or force
• How emotional and ancestral clearing impacts visibility, pricing, and intuitive business decisions
• Why reclaiming time, space, and energy for yourself actually creates more safety and stability for your family
• The permission Human Design can offer to move, create, and operate in your natural rhythm
• What changes when you stop trying to follow rigid business formulas and instead build from intuition and alignment

Human Design and astrology are two of the most powerful tools for self-awareness and energetic alignment available to us… but they are also two of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, I'm sharing what it actually looks like to live with these systems - as languages that give context to your experience, deepen your self-trust, and help you make decisions in a way that is aligned with your natural energy as an entrepreneur.

If you've ever wondered how to use Human Design and astrology in a grounded, embodied, real-world way (especially while building a business) - this episode will help you understand how these systems can support your timing, decision-making, creativity, and capacity without bypassing your power.

In this episode, we explore:

• The real purpose of Human Design and astrology, and why they're not meant to predict or control your life
• The difference between making aligned decisions and outsourcing your authority to spiritual systems
• Why understanding your design dramatically reduces trial-and-error, comparison, and burnout in business
• How energetic timing influences creativity, visibility, productivity, and emotional capacity
• What these systems cannot do for you (and where true personal power still requires choice, embodiment, and responsibility)
• The real-life astrology example that sparked this episode

For the next three weeks, I'm sharing bonus episodes featuring some of the incredible female entrepreneurs and visionaries who have moved through Conscious Business Salon — so you can hear what this space is like from the inside.

In today's conversation, you'll meet Hope Pedraza: functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, Human Design guide, clinical hypnotherapist, and host of the Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast. We dive into the real-time intersection of the physical body + the energetic/emotional plane, and why "root cause" healing do so with so much more than labs and protocols.

• What the Healy device is and why frequency medicine is becoming the new normal
• The shift from "woo woo is weird" to "if you don't understand energy, you're behind"
• Hope's Human Design (3/5 Sacral Manifesting Generator) and what it taught her about visibility, magnetism, and integrating her "many threads"
• How deconditioning work allowed Hope to step into her role as a leader of the new health paradigm
• Why Manifesting-Generators don't have to "pick one thing" - and what happens when you finally stop trying to
• Why chronic symptoms are your body's last attempt to get your attention after your energetic body has been signaling for years
• How CBS helped Hope stop separating her spiritual work from her scientific work - and what opened up when she integrated everything
