Happy new year friends 🥳 Today I’m bringing you guys my top highlights, lessons and reflections from 2025 — a year that truly stretched, humbled and expanded me in ways I didn’t know possible. From navigating financial hardship and being this close 🤏 to shutting down my business to re-finding peace in the present moment (and being SO ok with *not* knowing what’s coming next!) I’m laying it all out in this solo episode. Thank you always, for being here ♥️

Topics Covered:

• How I detached from (even more) victimhood this year

• Being humbled through financial hardship & credit card debt and *finally* asking for help

• Detaching identity from income, success, and business performance

• Why I almost closed my business (& how God intervened)

• What “rebuilding” in 2026 looks like & my WOTY (Word of The Year)

Hi friends! I'm back with Ashley today for another aligned and unfiltered reflection series.

You know those seasons of life where nothing seems to budge? Those periods of “creative constipation” where ideas aren’t flowing as frequently and the motivation to make, welp… just isn’t motivating. I’ve been met with many of those periods this year and it’s unearthed a curiosity to understand why, how and what exactly do they mean.

Together with Ashley, we discuss: 

• Laziness as a signal of misalignment, not a character flaw
• Is motivation just FEAR in disguise? 🤔 (aka: seeking approval, validation, belonging)
• Letting go of rigid routines and finding a deeper kind of discipline in trusting God
• Money, receiving, and the subtle ways we’re still being provided for
• What it means to be “lost on purpose” and keep handing our stories over

And so much more! No matter what season this episode finds you in (creative momentum or drought alike), I hope this convo brings you comfort and the reminder that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be friend (always) 🫂

💌 Listener Invitation:

Take a moment today to notice one place where you’ve been labeling yourself as “lazy” or “unmotivated,” and instead ask: What story am I believing here.  Am I willing to hand it over?

Hi friends 👋 The pod is BACK, and rather unplanned, but I’m excited to share that that is *actually* the point (both in today’s beautiful dialogue and for the rest of this outstanding season moving forward).

Nudged by a request from my dear friend & mentor, Ashley Abramson, I heeded an invitation to hop on the mic and record a catch-up, kickstarting a new season that will continue to unfold more organically and spontaneously, in contrast to my former (and more *perfectly* batched and executed) initiatives. The point being: to honor whatever may come up in the moment and release deeper expectations that come with traditionally planning and executing projects (who’s guilty?!) I’m looking forward to embracing this new format and leaving space for unexpected magic to come up ✨ 

What you can expect from today’s episode:

• Intro: An informal life catchup (what the heck I’ve been up to recently)

• What living spontaneously *really* means (no plans necessary) 

• Redefining impact & purpose (no social followers needed)

• Intentional prayer: the difference between requesting outcomes & surrendering stories

• The beauty of unlearning & coming back to being more childlike

• What to expect from this season

✍️ Listener Prompts:

• Where am I still trying to control the outcome instead of trusting the process?

• What would happen if I stopped planning and simply allowed?

• What would “spirit-led” action look like today?

In this final Season 4 episode, I’m joined yet again by my dear friend and mentor, Ashley Abramson, for a another beautiful ‘Reflection Session’ dialogue. Together with Ashley, we’re reflecting on the journey that this pod season has brought forth (for the both of us collectively!), and unpack the practice of releasing ‘private thoughts’, how people-pleasing shows up in everyday life, and why giving is receiving (in it’s truest, most Spirit-led form).

We also discuss:

• How unexpressed truths can manifest as emotional or even physical pain in the body

• The difference between “finding” joy vs. remembering it

• Why we are always abundant (despite what we think our external reality may be showing us)

• What it really means to teach from love vs. fear (and how we’re always teaching)

A most tender and special close to the season, I hope this dialogue offers nourishment to anyone navigating their own moments of the “in-between” and seeking a more grounded sense of freedom and peace from within ♥️

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing my final solo update for this season of the pod. Join me as I talk through my latest life happenings and sentiments I’ve been sitting with, most notably: the journey of the “in-between”, that messy, middle space between who you once were and who you are becoming.

I’m also sharing:

• What to do when old patterns resurface? (How I’m meeting them with so much more awareness and grace now)

• Thoughts on integrity (esp what it looks like when you’re evolving)

• How discomfort and confusion can be invitations to grow 

• The shift from psychoanalyzing our pain → surrendering it to God

• The radical freedom of saying “I don’t know what’s next” and embracing it 

  
  

What I initially thought would be a tidy season wrap-up with a big “ah-ha” moment at the end is instead an impromptu sharing on what it feels like to sit in the fog and still trust that light is guiding the way ✨

I hope you enjoy ♥️

Listener Prompts:

• What old patterns are still showing up in your life? Can you see them as invitations, not failures?

• When was the last time you felt discomfort in a conversation—and what did your body try to tell you in that moment?

• Are there moments where you've agreed outwardly but disagreed inwardly? What would full integrity have looked like instead?

Today I’m joined by Bahati Benjamin — researcher, creative, mother, wife, and founder of Balebé, a beading studio and mindfulness practice centered around healing, culture, and intentional community.

Together with Bahati, we talk about the messiness, mystery (and magic too) of change in partnerships and career. From the power of possibility thinking to letting go of expectations, Bahati shares her evolving relationship with entrepreneurship, what it means to surrender control, and how building Balebé was never in her original plan, but unfolded into something even better than imagined.

💭 We Discuss:

• ​Setting expectations vs embracing the unknown in life & business 
• ​The sneaky ways goal-setting can give us a false sense of control
• ​Marriage, boundaries, and showing up in long-term partnership
• ​The creative and spiritual power of beadwork as a mindfulness tool
• ​The beauty of stepping away to reconnect with true alignment in our work

Bahati also opens up about her decision to return to full-time work while continuing to nurture Balebé, and how she's learning to trust divine timing, embrace duality, and release the pressure to prove herself.

✍️ Listener Prompts

• ​Where am I pushing against something that's no longer working?
• ​What would it look like to soften and let something unfold instead?
• ​How do I balance being of service to others with honoring what I need?

Today I’m joined by the beauty Barbora Sztrancsíková, a somatic guide and emotional release facilitator, for a heartfelt dialogue on healing, intuition, and learning to receive love.

Barbora shares her story of following an intuitive nudge to Hawaii, the synchronicities that unfolded, and how that trip became a catalyst for self-trust and heart-opening. From breaking generational and cultural patterns (coincidentally shared with our common Slavic roots!) to opening our hearts to expansive partnership, this dialogue with Barbora left me tender with MANY feels 🥲and is a powerful reminder for trusting our unfolding journeys (as they *always* give us exactly what we need). 

💭 Topics Discussed:

• Ancestral and cultural patterns around control, work, and joy

• Travel as a spiritual teacher and catalyst for healing

• The power of synchronicity and intuitive nudges

• Partnership as a space for deep emotional healing and growth

• Practicing surrender, softness, and healthy communication

Ashley joins me back for another jam-packed reflection episode, and today we’re unpacking what it really means to travel with intention. We question the glorification of “unplugging”, inviting listeners to consider that real rest doesn’t necessarily come from escaping our lives but rather, from plugging fully into them. We also discuss the differences between travel as a crutch or a catalyst, the role of expectations in shaping our experiences,  and how healing can be light, liberating, and even joyful.

For anyone who's ever come back from a vacation feeling more drained than restored, or who’s been chasing meaning through constant movement and missing the peace already available in the now — this one’s for you 😌

💭  We also discuss:

• The power of spirit-led travel (and how to tell the difference)

• Releasing the addiction to “doing the most” when traveling

• What “remembrance” means

• Why healing work doesn’t have to be painful or heavy

• A different perspective on inner child work 

  
  

✍️ Listener Prompts

• Where am I seeking escape when I’m really being invited to plug in?

• What stories or expectations am I placing on rest, travel, or healing?

• What would it look like to let joy—not pressure—lead the way?
