Welcome to the first episode in this eclipse-inspired mini-series. 🌑✨

This eclipse season? Whew. It’s been a ride — equal parts unraveling and revelation.

But beneath the chaos, there’s been clarity. Truth-telling. Realignment.

In this mini-series, I’ll be sharing a handful of the biggest themes that have been rising to the surface in my own life — not as prescriptions, but as portals. My hope is that they spark reflection, resonance, or a soft yes somewhere in your own soul.

Today’s theme: the roles we play.
The one shouting loudest in my world right now?
👀 The “good girl.”

I’m bringing you behind the scenes of how this old identity got triggered back into the spotlight…
What I’ve been learning as I meet her again with love instead of shame…
And how I’m moving through it in real time, from reclamation — not collapse.

Whether or not the “good girl” story is yours, you’ll walk away with tools to track the roles showing up in your life — and how to alchemize them into deeper power.

✨ Plus: a little surprise bonus at the end, just for my podcast fam.

Let’s dive in.

This episode is an invitation into the wild, mystical world of plant spirits, intuitive connection, and the alchemical path of becoming.

I sat down with herbalist, spiritual guide, and intuitive channel Heather O’Neill — and what unfolded is part podcast, part masterclass, part soul remembering.

Heather and I met about a year ago, and I was immediately drawn to her grounded presence and her ability to receive and articulate clear, potent messages from beyond-human intelligences. Her work is a weaving of earth wisdom, personal truth, and reverence for the sacred — and her story is full of insight, honesty, and beautifully unfiltered magic.

In this conversation, we explore:
🌿 The confusion, longing, and isolation that often comes with walking a spiritual path
🌹 The many ways to build relationships with plants (and why your way gets to be valid)
🌀 Channeling plant consciousness + receiving messages from Mullein and Rose
✨ Creating your own definitions of spirituality as you evolve
🔥 How to walk a path of deep purpose — even when it doesn’t look “normal”
💧 Herbalism, reciprocity, and symbolism in the natural world
🤍 What it takes to truly accept yourself in a culture that may never fully understand you

This one is deeply nourishing, wildly mystical, and entirely human — a conversation to sip slowly, like your tea.

If you only ever chase “positive” feelings…
you end up abandoning yourself every time you feel human.

Life isn’t always light.
It holds grief, rage, despair, numbness, confusion.

Not because something’s wrong with you —
but because you’re alive.

If you’ve learned to label those feelings as bad, broken, or “too much”…
you’ve likely internalized the belief that you are bad, broken, or too much.

But here’s the truth:
The ability to sit with discomfort — without trying to fix or escape it —
isn’t weakness.
It’s resilience.
It’s self-trust.
It’s wholeness in action.

When you learn to let yourself feel without judgment:
🕊️ You validate your experience
💎 You root into self-worth
🔥 You grow in capacity and courage

Because the point isn’t to always feel good.
The point is to feel fully.
To allow the highs and lows to shape a life of depth and meaning.

If your heart is whispering yes to that…
comment FEEL and I’ll send you the details of my 1:1 coaching program, Trust Your Path — where we gently rewire your relationship with self-worth, so you can meet every season of life with clarity, confidence, and inner safety.

Feeling like you're swimming upstream battling the change of seasons?

Confused about why you feel differently through the year and wondering if its normal?

If you've ever noticed that your energy, emotions, or focus shift throughout the year — but felt confused or critical about it — this episode is here to offer you a new perspective.

Nature moves in cycles.
And so do you.

In this conversation, I’m sharing how I use the frameworks of cyclicality and polarity — drawn from my work in herbalism, nervous system healing, and seasonal energetics — to help clients feel more rooted, regulated, and resilient.

You’ll hear:
🌿 Why it’s normal to feel different during different seasons
🍂 How Nature mirrors your inner world (and how to use that wisdom)
💧 Tools to support your mind, body, and spirit through seasonal shifts
🌞 How to align your energy with each season’s invitation
✨ And ways to work with me if this resonates deeply with your own path

This isn’t about fixing or forcing yourself to be the same all year.
It’s about remembering you’re part of something greater — and learning to flow with it.

Press play for a breath of fresh air, a shift in perspective, and practical tools to ground you in the now.

Let’s walk with the seasons, not against them.

Back with a solo episode — and this one is all about reclaiming lightness.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, heavy, overwhelmed, or like joy is just… out of reach — this is your invitation back into the energy of lightheartedness, aliveness, and openness.

Not as a bypass.
But as a balancer.

In this episode, I explore how lightness can be a powerful antidote to the weight many of us are carrying — personally, collectively, emotionally, spiritually. And how you can evoke it gently, even when things feel dense.

You’ll hear:
☁️ Why lightheartedness is not frivolous — it’s medicine
💫 Small ways to access play, humor, and softness in hard seasons
⚖️ How lightness can coexist with grief, stress, and complexity
🧰 Why coupling emotional practices with tangible support (financial, legal, relational, etc.) creates more true ease

This isn’t about pretending things are fine.
It’s about creating micro-moments of breath in the middle of the mess.
Because you were never meant to carry it all alone.

Tune in to reconnect with the part of you that still knows joy is possible — even here.

This is a kickass episode on a hugely important, prevalent, personal, and complex topic - addiction.

Join my older sister and I for a deep dive into her journey from intense alcohol dependance to 8 years of sobriety and 6+ years working in recovery as a licensed drug and alcohol counselor.

In this episode you'll get to hear her personal perspective tied in with the expertise of 6+ years of professional experience.

So excited to share the very first Cycles and Shadows interview episode with my newest friend, Kaan Cav.

We weave together so many important topics in this conversation, ranging from playfulness and creativity to consciously connecting to the natural world through observation, cooking, intuition, gardening, and community.

Kaan opens his heart to share his journey with setting boundaries, exploring his spirituality, developing self-love, and embracing the awe-worthy beauty all around us.

If you're in the market for a philosophical chat full of laughs, raw honesty, and vulnerability this is the episode for you! Grab a cup of tea and settle in for an unfiltered hour of reflection & story.

In this episode we dive into the very juicy topic of SHAME!

We'll cover:

- what shame is

- how the definition is extremely subjective and leads to all sorts of self-hatred

- how shame has been influenced by organized religion

- ancient and modern assumptions and classifications of what's "right"/"wrong"

- the left-hand path of spirituality

- yin & yang: bringing harmony to wholeness

- reintegrating what has been forcefully fragmented overtime

- releasing internalized shame

I share my own story of navigating shame about my voice into celebration and sharing (and how I'm still journeying through it) and invite you to reflect on ways that hidden stories of shame may be weighing you down.

In this episode you'll explore the power of your imagination, this vital capability we all have that sadly (and inappropriately) goes out of style as we age.

I bring in some of my favorite books which touch on the subject:

1. Rituals of Healing: Using Imagery for Health and Wellness by Jeanna Achterberg, Ph.D., Barbara Dossey, R.N., M.S., FAAN, and Lesie Kolkmeier, R.N., MEd.

2. The Journey of Soul Initiation: A Field Guide for Visionaries, Evolutionaries, and Revolutionaries by Bill Plotkin

and share my own story of how developing my imagination through the Purpose Mentor Program I did with Jonathan Gustin of the Purpose Guides Institute allowed me to see snippets of the future I am now lucky enough to call the present.

Your mind has a super power, and leaning into it can help you to create physical health, mental and emotional wellness, fulfilling relationships and meaningful work in the world...joyfully, playfully, and creatively!

In this weeks episode I dive into BOUNDARIES!! I try to always offer a new perspective or spin on each topic and this conversation does just that.

Boundaries are a chance to celebrate and live by what you as a unique being came here to do on this planet at this time. We each have a specific part to play in the wholeness, and the more that you can tune into who YOU are - your gifts, your strengths, your passions, your inspirations - the more you can offer that back into the world in a way that feels amazing, aligned, creative, and vibrant.

I explore how boundaries and intuition are intricately linked, and share some thoughts and tips on how to practice at all of it, even leaning on some support like herbs, sound, movement, and more.

So glad you found the show, would love to hear what these conversations spark in your own mind and heart. Reach out on IG here.
