One of a person's most distinguishing features is their hair. Dianna Cohen's luxury haircare brand, Crown Affair, crafts love letters to hair and self-care through their intentionally made hair-care products. Today, Dianna shares the integrity of her brand vision, how she stays inspired, the journey of haircare, and the power of ritual. 

Staying inspired and active as a founder can be a difficult balance to strike. Dianna shares how she connects to inspiration daily and her favorite places to look. The key to striking this balance is tapping into what excites you and staying clear on your goals. Dianna reminds us that great things take time, from building an empowering hair ritual to building a powerful brand, and the practices along the way matter the most. 

Dianna discusses how she created a culture within Crown Affair built on feminine energy and empowerment. She intentionally approaches time by never rushing, returning to the present, and moving slower. These philosophies underline Crown Affair’s workplace culture and products. Throughout her career, intuition has played an important role in her business decisions and trajectory. By learning to trust her intuition and her team, her business has expanded more than she could have imagined.   

A key part of showing up as our most empowered self every day is how we engage in grounding and embodiment practices. Diana’s favorite daily grounding habits include stretching, reading, looking at art, journaling, gua sha, and brushing her hair. She especially enjoys being in her partner’s calming presence. Having a steady partner can really support the nervous system during times of chaos as an entrepreneur. Committed to helping women feel their best, in this episode, Diana shares ways to lift ourselves and each other.

Everyone has the ability to access psychic capacities should they choose. Gaby Azorsky calls on her psychic gifts across her work as a healing arts practitioner and medicine woman, weaving together Reiki, meditation, clairvoyance, and folk herbalism. Today, Gaby shares how living by her intuition has changed her life, ways to build a sacred practice, and an invitation to access your psychic potential. 

We begin with a tarot pull. The tarot mirrors what we’re currently experiencing and can provide fresh perspectives on that experience. We each describe how we interpret the tarot’s messages. Gaby shares her story of learning to tune in, a journey beautifully supported by her tarot, meditation, reiki, and altar work practices. Gaby explains how her practices often shift according to the month or season, but meditating in some way remains constant. An altar practice can symbolize a daily devotion to dreams, Goddess, or anything else in your practice. Gaby suggests different ways to begin creating your sacred space. 

One benefit of grounding and sacred practices is being able to tune into one or more of your claire senses which detect psychic information: clairvoyance, claircognizance, clairgustance, clairsalience, clairaudience, clairsentience, clairempathy, or clairtangency. We discuss the spectrum of subtle knowing embodied by these clairs. Gaby recalls her experience of moving from shame and embarrassment about her perceptive gifts as a child to moving to New York, finally feeling like she was with her people and reconnected to the magic of life. 

Gaby recalls how mushrooms have deeply impacted her nervous and immune systems. Reishi has become a nourishing hug that she craves. Working with the Earth as a teacher, in this episode, Gaby shares many of the beautiful lessons she has learned by listening.

If you thought mycelium networks were fascinating and magical, the body’s fascia matrix is truly next level. Today, I’m joined by Bonnie Crotzer, dancer turned fascial flossing guide, to discuss just how interconnected fascia is to our entire being and how we can return it to its optimal state.  

Did you know that fascia is an amazing fabric that links everything in the body? Bonnie explains what fascia is and why it’s so important (and cool!) in an easy-to-digest way. Her deep knowledge and passion for the body and how it functions is incredible. Since fascia is a conductor of electricity, the more you move your body, the more electricity you make. The science of fascia demonstrates why movement is key to strong mental health and radiant spirit.

Fascial flossing is a way to reconfigure fascia back to its healthiest state. This is achieved by engaging your muscles while you elongate, allowing the body to work on a deeper level than just stretching. This is important for the body to build strength and stability for everyone, from the hypermobile to the hyper stiff. 

Bonnie encourages self-practice to begin fascia flossing and working with one-on-one practitioners or getting a lymphatic drainage massage as next steps. Caring for your fascia ensures that you maintain good circulation, which means little or no pain in the body, better oxygenation, full nutrient absorption, and adequate waste removal. There are so many benefits across digestion, the immune system and mental health, why not get flossing today?

People are yearning for reconnection, and for a variety of reasons, ceremonial rituals and psychedelic sacred plants are something we are continually called back to. My guest today, Paola Castelo, is dedicated to helping others reconnect with Mexican heritage by preserving and amplifying Mexican culture through art on her online platform Vuelta Sur. In this episode, Paola opens up about how her passion for preserving Mexican culture originated, the project she is collaborating on with Fungi Foundation to preserve and honor the life and impact of shaman and poet María Sabina. 

Paola shares and celebrates the rich stories of Mexican culture by collaborating with museums, contemporary artists, and master artisans to showcase their stories and offer global access to their work. Throughout our conversation, she explains the materials and formats of indigenous art and the role of artists in the ancient world. 

Our discussion is focused on the story of María Sabina, a shaman and poet who introduced psilocybin mushrooms to the Western world. Paola breaks down Maria's impact and legacy on future generations and Vuelta Sur's devotion to sharing her lessons and practices. This can be demonstrated through the museum Vuelta Sur is building in collaboration with The Fungi Foundation in Maria's honor, which contains one of the most comprehensive collections of Masoretic records and textiles. She also explains how you can be involved in its creation!

Moving through the world without force, effort, and struggle goes against what modern society teaches most of us to believe. Emmie Rae of The Daily Rest Studio (TDR Studio) specializes in helping people embrace doing less to bring more ease into their lives and businesses. Today, Emmie shares her philosophy of rest, which includes yoga, writing, nature, human design, and one that I personally struggle with, doing nothing.

If you’re working to integrate more rest into your daily life, Emmie suggests using your wellness tools most days to remove the rigid pressure of being perfect. Challenge yourself not to take in any stimulus for at least 5 minutes. The challenge of these “do nothing” practices is that we don’t get the dopamine hits that our brains crave. By releasing the grip of control, you truly work smarter and not harder in all areas of life. Emmie shares her process of working according to her energy and exactly where on the human design chart to look for structure versus non-structure insight. 

As entrepreneurs, sometimes we need reminding that we created our businesses to give ourselves more freedom in life. Emmie and I discuss how the planets correspond with the days of the week and why knowing them matters. Being sensitive to these subtle energies and subtle energy in general is a superpower. To be sensitive means you have the power to alchemize your feelings into your work. 

Emmie’s approach to business resonates with me so deeply. She runs a soft business, one without a strategy, customer avatars, or the marketing-speak we’ve been told we need to adopt. The key to making these choices is knowing yourself. Then you know what works best, and you’re able to be open with your team. We wrap up by discussing Emmie’s relationship with Tokyo and what life is like in her adopted city. Emmie is a genuine beacon of light, reminding us to trust our way and to trust that the parts of us deliver messages. This life is all on purpose.

You are more than what you eat. You are actually a combination of what you eat, assimilate, digest, and eliminate. Today, Holistic Health and Detox coach Meghan Swidler shares her wealth of knowledge about healing, cleansing, and detoxing. We explore how to access the elimination pathways, different types of cleanses, and how to effectively prepare for one. Having an expert guide alongside you throughout the process is deeply important because everyone’s health is unique. I highly recommend working with Meghan on your healing journey, and her latest book, From Deep Within, is a great place to start. 

Industrialization changed our bodies and our world in permanent ways. The reality is our environment is toxic and burdening our systems. Our bodies are left trying to detox material that they were never meant to detox, like microplastics and pesticides, and this accumulation of waste is incredibly harmful. Cleansing our bodies has never been a more vital step to combat this and achieve a healthy state. While what we eat is so important to our health, what we eliminate is too. This is where Meghan’s expertise comes in. 

Meghan realized she wanted to help others heal their bodies and upgrade their lives after going through her health journey to combat skin issues, fatigue, and more. Meghan shares that there are two stages to preparing the body for colonics and enemas: the awakening and the release. First, you awaken the built-up matter in your system via the food you eat and then release the obstruction that prevents flow. Often, people want to jump straight into a cleanse, but the food you eat in preparation is a key step. Eating more real, whole, unprocessed foods is always the best way to prepare for a cleanse as well as to nourish your body every day. 

Some people may find that they are eating super clean but not achieving results. Meghan shares that this may be an indicator of toxic thoughts and a harmful emotional state. Food, movement, sleep, and stress management are the four pills of a healthy life. It's easy to optimize the already good areas, such as food, but not the other weak pillars. The beauty of the cleansing process is that it brings a lot of awareness to the reality of how we are living. 

We agree that clearing our vessel is a fantastic way to increase intuition. Too often we try to find external solutions for our health when, in reality, our bodies are self-healing and regenerating under the right conditions. In this episode, Meghan teaches us how to begin creating those right conditions and step into a cleansed state of mind.

Today, I’m joined by Desirée Pais, the founder of BENSHEN.co. Our conversation unfolds organically and deeply on relationships, how to exist in them as our most authentic selves, and how to clarify what we really want. We explore the difference between fate and destiny, how she created BENSHEN.co, and the roadmap to healing that triggers can provide. 

Desirée and I share what it means for us to be in long-term relationships. We both had to work through a lot of trauma, shadow work, the wounded feminine aspects of self, and shame to get to where we are today. Desirée observes that most people play out childhood patterns in relationships, particularly by not knowing exactly what they want and what they’ll accept. She stresses the importance of shadow work and overwriting subconscious patterning to access the core of our relationship desires. Her platform BENSHEN.co helps support this kind of personal growth, and she also details additional effective healing modalities. 

We share our experiences of navigating energy dynamics, approaching big conversations with partners, and how partnerships can lead to personal growth breakthroughs. Relationships have a special way of drawing out triggers that we may not know the root of. Having a self care practice is crucial in building a relationship with yourself so that you know how to work through them. Many of us hold suppressed emotions that subconsciously control our behavior and desires. Trust me, the work is always worth it.

Join me on my first nude podcast! Today, I’m joined by Charlie Ann Max, the founder of Füde, a liberating space devoted to nudity, food, and healing. Charlie is a multidisciplinary artist dedicated to connecting humanity back to their purist selves through her creative work. Our conversation is focused on nudity as a lifestyle choice, the barriers that it breaks down, and the ways this simple act gets us into vulnerable states.  

Being naked is an invitation to drop the layers, metaphorically and physically, and experience yourself with others in a raw and vulnerable way. Charlie and I talk about the many benefits of being nude with others like we are in this episode! Her path to nudity as a way of living helped her overcome body issues and express herself in ways she never imagined.

Charlie’s company, Füde, creates liberating experiences and spaces for people to experience their most pure selves through plant-based cooking, art, nudity, mindfulness, discussion, and self-love. She shares how cooking and eating naked brings a deeper intimacy around ourselves and our nourishment. Her experiences are truly transformative!

Even though censorship and social stigmas have not made Charlie’s path an easy one, she’s realized each hardship she’s overcome has actually pushed her creativity in unexpected directions. In this way, she has found in-person experiences to be where the real magic happens in transgressing boundaries. We wrap up the episode by sharing what we’re into eating at the moment, food energetics, and cooking with mushrooms. Get ready, you may want to take your clothes off for this one.

Ease and effort may seem like contrary ideas but both are insightful, necessary, and nuanced aspects of a successful pivot. Today, Rachel Saunders guides us through her graceful pivot from burned- out business owner to multidisciplinary artist. Rachel now leads The Sanctuary, a monthly subscription infused with inspiration and guidance. And this summer, Rachel and I have collaborated to lead a retreat in Greece, in collaboration with me, An Ethereal Reset. Which sold out in record time! In this episode, we talk about the creative process, healing, Human Design, and the magic that Greece has to offer as inspiration. Join us in this conversation to learn about how to commit to flow, pivot with grace, and to learn more about our experience in Greece, we’d love to have you join and are opening up more spaces due to demand.

Most business owners and artists have experienced a pivot or shapeshift once, twice, or even a multitude of times. Rachel’s experience is a beautiful example of what the ego may experience during that process and the wealth of lessons in these transitions. A pivot invites courage and trust after burnout. We discuss how Human Design can guide how we operate in our art and business. We share what we’ve learned as projector entrepreneurs, renegotiating how we approach effort, challenge, and the things that feel hard. 

Together, Rachel and I will be hosting An Ethereal Reset this summer. We offer a behind-the-scenes discussion on the philosophies from which we’ve built this offering, and how it integrates the land, community, rest, and play. Rachel has found sublime transformation through artist residencies and infuses those lessons in our retreat. We hope that the retreat creates a welcoming space for attendees to experience inner joy, to share themselves, and take meaningful steps towards a creative state of life.

Today, we're exploring the beautiful reclamation of ourselves, our femininity, and the creative power that lives within all of us. To help me dive in, I'm joined by Harmanjot – a leading modern teacher of Kundalini yoga who has a passion for connecting people and expanding magic in the world. Together, we highlight the power of feminine creativity and how embodying and mastering our sexual energy relates to our magnetism, creativity, vitality and sense of personal power.

We touch on the misconceptions of Tantra and its deeper meaning beyond mere sexuality. Harmanjot, with her extensive experience in ancient yoga, explains how the idea that sex is the motivation of all life relates to these teachings. We also discuss the shutdown of chakras, why they shut down, and how to release any blockages to move forward in all areas of life. 

Harmanjot talks about the impact of past partners on present relationships and how to remove oneself from them. We cover many aspects of women's sexual energies, where they can manifest, and how to set boundaries with partners in alignment with your self-love, intimacy, and feminine identity. Plus, Harmanjot shares some incredible Kundalini practices, mantras, and tools for reclaiming our feminine creative power.
