Solo story-time for ya'll!

This week on the podcast I share a bit about my own process of slooooowly loosening around perfectionism overtime and how I navigate those times now, when parts of me start to freak out about things being hard or scary or new.

I take you through a recent moment where my ego began to throw a little tantrum and how I was able to witness, hold, and guide myself back into a mature response rather than an unhelpful reaction. I also majorly shout out my boyfriend and how much he held it down for me while I rode the wave of re-parenting my anxious inner child (thank you Adam, Gold Star!)

This one is for all the folks who get really frustrated with learning new things, the ones who doubt themselves or let fears and expectations hold them back from growing & expanding in any area of their life.

I break down how healing is not about getting rid of the parts of yourself that feel fear, frustration and the like...but about allowing the mature and conscious parts of yourself accept, love, and nurture those frazzled & defeated inner voices.

This is a little nugget of gold on parts work in action; in a quick, lighthearted, honest story of my own humanness.

I'd love to hear about your own experiences with learning, perfectionism, and accepting the different parts of yourself as they surface. Comment below or...

My signature 1:1 Coaching Program, Trust Your Path

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a wild chapter in the confusing, circular journey that led me to become a yoga teacher and holistic intuitive coach & healer after years of exploring what felt like infinite diverging unfulfilling career paths.

This is a story about following my intuition over my fear, setbacks that almost broke me, how easy it is to let dreams remain fantasy, and the courage I created along the way by listening to my soul when sh*t didn't make any sort of logical sense.

You'll hear me share:

• The spiritual vision that first led me to yoga and how I followed it without a clear plan
• The financial + relational blocks that nearly kept me from saying yes
• The breakdown that woke me up into the power of my choices
• The serendipitous magic of my training in Costa Rica, including the wild synchronicities that confirmed I was exactly where I was meant to be
• How this whole path revealed the deeper truth of manifestation, soul timing, and trusting what wants to come through you

If you're peering over the cliffs edge of change, feeling the pull of your purpose but unsure if you've got the wings to soar once you leap...dis one's for you!

Dive deeper into trusting your own life's perfectly circular and confusing unfolding so you can jump into soul-aligned opportunities and live a dreamy logic-defying life as the intuitive creatrix you truly are. Trust Your Path was made for you to practice stretching those wings so you can fly reeeeal high.

Hop into the most freeing, fun, creative + low-pressure, emotional & psychological healing process imaginable: The Flow into Joy mini-program

💛 You’re not behind, you’re in rhythm, and your path is unfolding just as it's meant to.

Yogic philosophy has completely bamboozled my logical mind by changing my life in seemingly infinite ways: from my physical health, to my mental and emotional health, and the unseen inexplicable part of self: embodied connection to spirituality.

In this solo episode I break down one of the 5 Yamas, or ethical observances, outlined in the Yoga Sutras: Ahimsa (nonviolence). You'll hear how using this ancient concept to create balance within a modern chaotic life can help you to reframe and fully believe in the importance of slowing down and choosing less (without the guilt!!)

I've been in a deep, months long contemplation of navigating healthy boundaries, and using Ahimsa as a guide has catapulted me into a new level of self-respect, love, and worth. Now you get to share in the magic!

I'll share concrete examples of how I've been using Ahimsa in my day to day life and planning, how nervous system healing weaves in to validate the stress response you've been stuck in so that you can arrive at self-forgiveness with more ease, and how you can water the seeds of more spaciousness and flow in your own life.

If you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, chained to your to-do list, constantly forcing yourself to push & try harder and do more...this is the episode where you'll finally find some relief and a path forward.

Dive in to 1:1 coaching with me in Trust Your Path, my signature holistic mentorship.

Thank you for being here, from the bottom of my heart.

In this very vulnerable solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my recent business rebirth — from Bleeding Hearts Yoga to Cycles and Shadows Healing.

This is the story of how I let go of an old identity to honor the deeper truth of who I’ve always been — a coach, a guide, a space holder for transformation.

I share the real, raw process of:

• Navigating the fog of rebranding and stepping into a new name

• Trusting intuition over logic (even when the poll said “don’t do it”)

• How the Gene Keys, the ocean, and synchronicities shaped my decision

• Why “Cycles and Shadows” felt scary and sacred

• What childhood loss taught me about celebrating emotional depth and honoring the fragility of life by LIVING boldly through fear

• How fear has been a portal into my greatest gifts — and how it can be for you, too

This is for anyone walking through a threshold… holding the tension of who you’ve been and who you’re becoming… and learning to trust that the unknown is not a threat — it’s a teacher.

I also share how I’m integrating this rebirth inside my coaching containers and stepping heart-first into a new season of Self:
→ Flow Into Joy – a month long potent community space to return to your light
→ Trust Your Path – my 1:1 mentorship for unshaming your shadows so you can own your full badass self & soul path

Welcome beautiful soul to the Cycles and Shadows Podcast!

In this solo episode I get real about navigating big feelings as a highly sensitive person -- how to embrace emotions as a gift and source of guidance rather than something to hide or dampen.

I share how recently I've been called, several times, by the spirit of psilocybin in my oracle pulls and some insights and downloads that have been coming through since answering the call.

The insights have been simple, but POTENT and have helped me navigate stepping into a whole new version of self -- both personally and as a business owner/coach/intuitive guide. I know that the people meant to hear this message will have a HUGE frequency shift too, unlocking a new ability to move from exhausted to energized in your life.

Everything that's exhausting you is a guide of what to say NO to, everything that has energy behind it is a map of where to head.

I break down how to use the Gene Keys to find the golden nuggets within your struggles by spilling the herbal tea on how I've done it in my own life, specifically with my 40th "Attraction" Key - The Will to Surrender.

Surrendering to and trusting what lights me up (aka what feels energizing) over what makes "perfect logical" sense has brought me to the most precious, blissful moments of my life and helped me to co-create a soul-aligned life that feels so yummy, nourishing, and fulfilling as heck even when it's sometimes still excruciatingly tough.

Come into my world to unlock the gifts from all your struggles through your own Gene Keys, Parts Work, and channeled intuitive guidance with me in my 1:1 coaching program, Trust Your Path.

& Embrace and celebrate all of yourself exactly as you are -- your emotions, your body, your story, your shadows AND your gifts -- in community, with the Flow into Joy mini-program $49 until Monday the 19th! The folks inside have been LOVING it so far :)

Your fear is your fuel - step into your power and watch miracles unfold ✨

You're beyond worth it and divinely designed to thrive ✨

In this solo episode, I take you behind the scenes of a little life plot twist — the unexpected offer to buy a business — and how it cracked me open to deeper truths about alignment, desire, and what it means to trust your path.

I talk about the whispers of intuition, the quiet ache of misalignment, and the power of symbolic guidance (yes, including puffins, zebras, and flipping coins).

I share what happened when I almost said yes to something that looked good on paper...and how the Universe helped me see that it wasn’t my dream, even though it came gift-wrapped as opportunity.

This one is for you if you’ve ever asked:

• Is this discomfort a sign to grow, or a sign to go?

• What’s mine vs. what’s expected of me?

• How do I know when it’s time to leap?

• Can I really trust my body to guide me?

We also dive into:

• Moving through grief, anxiety, and identity shifts

• The sacred art of incubation — giving yourself time before deciding

• Listening to your whole self (not just the logic)

• The role of intuition, signs, and playful communication with the Universe

• How to navigate symbolic yesses/no's in big decisions

• Why reclaiming joy is a form of resistance and remembrance

Flow Into Joy community — launching Mon May 12th

In this juicy, expansive, and soul-stirring convo, I’m joined by my dear friend, vocal + somatic coach and sonic alchemist, Liz Ridgely, for a deep dive into embodiment, divinity, and the sacred language of the body.

We explore the mysteries of what it means to name — and reclaim — God/Source/Universe when the experience of it feels too big for language.

From Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch to the Magdalene Mysteries, from tantra to trauma healing, Liz brings her whole-hearted presence and wisdom to this dialogue.

We talk about Tantra not as a sexual technique, but as a living path of devotion, energy, and union — a way of seeing the divine in everything, especially within. We explore Hatha yoga as a tantric practice, vocal healing as a form of kundalini awakening, and embodied spirituality as a reclamation of both self and source.

We weave in honest, raw dialogue about our experiences with body dysmorphia, somatic trauma integration, dreamwork, intuitive development, sensual awakening, and Liz’s upcoming can't miss program and tour — a gorgeous offering that expands & opens hearts through music, playfulness, mythology, somatics, and the Temple Arts.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of sexual trauma, suicide, and depression. Take care of ya'self while listening and pause if you need.

TL;DR we chat about:

• Naming the ineffable: God, Source, and personal language for divinity

• Conversations with God and the power of spiritual dialogue

• Tantra as a devotional life path

• The divine as embodied — in nature, in dance, in the breath

• Hatha yoga, chrismic fluid, and the pineal/pituitary axis

• Voice and sound as gateways to awakening

• Magdalene lineages and the mystery teachings of the womb

• Integrating trauma through somatics, presence, and intuition

• Bridging spirituality and play: Liz’s new program + tour

In this intimate solo episode, I share what’s been unfolding in my body and heart lately — and how life (and a stomach bug) recently forced me to slow all the way down.

What started as physical discomfort became an unexpected initiation into presence — one that mirrored everything I’ve been needing to feel, face, and hold in this season of grief, transition, and deep energetic shift.

When I pulled the card Ayahuasca from my new oracle deck (The Herbal Astrology Oracle by Adriana Ayales) I immediately felt it -- a deep knowing: you're about to surrender and you have no choice.

I take you briefly through visiting my dad as he continues to decline in health, and the grief and emotional weight of navigating end-of-life tasks with my sister. Being with my mom during this time — and witnessing her stress, sadness, and constant movement — gave me a clear mirror of my own patterns… and a moment of co-regulation that changed us both.

This episode is about slowing down not because it’s easy — but because it’s necessary.

TL;DR:

✨ The energetic wake-up of a stomach bug
✨ The symbolism of the Ayahuasca oracle card
✨ Grieving in real time and being present with my dad
✨ Co-regulation with my mom and the ripple effect of stillness
✨ Why slowing down is often the thing we most resist — and most need

If you’re moving through a season of grief, overwhelm, or transition… this one’s for you. Take a breath. Let’s go slow.

In this special episode, I sit down with my sister Emily for an honest, soulful conversation about dreams fulfilled, challenges faced, and the power of living in alignment with your inner wisdom.

We talk about what it means to create a life that works for you, not against you — from achieving childhood dreams to navigating anxiety, relocation, motherhood, and partnership. Emily shares her personal journey of moving to Virginia, becoming a mother, and the unexpected gifts that came through intense difficulty.

Together, we reflect on the role of intuition, the books that shaped us, the need for holistic healing, and the power of honest conversation. We also explore what it means to embrace life’s messiness — and make mistakes part of the dance.

If you’ve ever wondered how to integrate personal growth, spiritual practice, and real-life challenges with compassion and clarity, this episode is for you.

We talk about:

✨ Emily’s childhood dreams — and how they came true in surprising, beautiful ways
✨ The emotional and logistical challenges of relocating and starting over
✨ The quiet power of intuition, stillness, and inner wisdom
✨ The books that shaped us — from The Power of Now to Harry Potter
✨ Holistic wellness and finding healing beyond quick fixes
✨ Embracing the mess, surrendering expectations, and owning your self-worth
✨ The reminder that there is no “end point” — just brave, honest living

Books we mentioned:

📚 The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
📚 When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chödrön
📚 The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben
📚 Harry Potter series & The BFG — childhood classics we’ll never forget

Keep the Conversation Going:

If something stirred for you, we’d love to hear it.

Just because it’s coming back around…
doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

In this short and potent solo episode, I’m diving into the humbling, holy spiral of relearning. The way old lessons resurface, not to punish you — but to offer you something deeper.

Whether you’re circling back to boundaries, worthiness, grief, self-trust, or something else entirely… this is a love note for the part of you that wonders:
“Haven’t I already been here?”

You’re not broken.
You’re becoming.
Again and again and again.

Listen in for a reminder that healing isn’t linear — and that revisiting old lessons doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re ready for a new layer of liberation.

✨

Let this episode be a breath of compassion, and an invitation to trust your timing.
