The Butterfly Analogy

Welcome back everyone! On this week's episode, I had the pleasure in sitting down with Jivamukti Yoga instructor and Sacred Cacao Ceremonialist, Anna Papadakis! In yoga, becoming mindful of your everyday practices is important, as these practices determine the unity between your mind, emotions, and physicality. Although this is essential, the thought of adopting more mindful practices into our hectic daily lives can be quite overwhelming. Nonetheless, Anna touches upon the way in which yoga has gradually transformed her life into one with profound intention. 

Thank you Anna for guest starring on this weeks episode! Love and light!

When peering into other sister dynamics, Natalie and I often fail to see genuine loving interactions between them. This is common for siblings who may grow up within households that navigate hectic and emotional waters. However, I am thankful to be able to say that my connection with Natalie has truly been different. She was my first best friend and was always by my side after my parents' marriage had failed. I firmly believe that she was brought into my life, as an angel in disguise, in order to help me navigate through the divorce (a true soul sister). All throughout those moments we have even share funny telepathic thoughts together. Those exact moments are the ones that let me know that she truly sees me and understands me as a human.

She has witnessed my vulnerability and I hope one day I can really sit and listen to her's. Heres to healing our relationship as soul sisters. I hope this conversation can bring you insight into bringing up tough conversations around your family one day.

Making love and receiving love are some of the aspects that make up the beauty of human nature. The notion of two souls intertwining, of two bodies fitting together like pieces of a puzzle, basked in the love one shares with another transcends as we continue to live and breathe life into others. This week, Join us as we examine the role of love and sex through the lens of our own experiences and reflect upon the Nexflix series "Sex, Love, and Goop".

This week, we had the pleasure and honor of sitting down with our first guest, Uríel (aka Moonlight Bruja)! Coming to terms with and expressing one’s own identity may bring about feelings of confusion and fear. However, through his work and experiences as a psychic medium, Uríel helped us navigate through the spiritual world, the barriers that may prevent us from truly owning our identity, and to understand the various cycles we experience throughout our lives, thus shaping us into who we are.

Throughout life, you may reach moments where you may feel stagnant and exhausted to continue when certain situations emerge in your path. While this is completely valid and not to be frowned upon, it is moments like these that help breathe life into parts of yourself in various different ways. For us, these moments of pain and exhaustion called for the birth of our inner poets, thus seeking solace in our pen and paper that withheld the ways in which our hearts experienced pain but most of all love and newfound hope. This week, join us as we allow you to venture deeper into our inner worlds through our love of writing.

In the fall of 2019, we were simply two college classmates who exchanged contact information to help each other breeze through the semester. After several 2-3 hour impromptu therapy sessions over the phone in lieu of discussing our assignments, we wondered how our friendship would be if we had crossed paths prior to our meeting on campus. This week, join us as we tearfully reminisce on our younger selves from previous holiday seasons, to the years of walking through those high school halls.
