Tuned Up ☀️

It’s comforting to believe we can control our own reality, but what support systems do we have for when that’s not possible? How and when do we believe in things greater than ourselves, and why does that belief provide comfort to so many people across the world? 

In this episode, I dive into 

• A storytime of my bacterial infectious tenosynovitis alone on an island in Thailand + what this emergency taught me about strength, faith, and flow

• How modern-day spirituality often glosses over ideas of source and surrender + what these ideas hold

• The two types of flow that exist in life + steps to work on achieving each one

Living in tune is easier than we’ve been taught to think.

With a world increasingly more connected online, how have we become fragmented on the surface? What can we do to open ourselves up to the people around us? How do we overcome the voice in the mind that keeps us closed? 

In this episode, I dive into 

• Why we feel afraid to be alone + what we are really afraid of 

• The realities of social perception, social fear, and social rejection 

• How beautiful small moments of connection can be + what being a connective force means

• A formula to overcome the mental block of talking to strangers + why it matters

What does it mean to live happily, simply, or wholly? Who do we look to for advice when it comes to doing so? The best teachers are not those preaching about wellness, but the ones truly living well.

In this episode, I speak with three native Costa Ricans, and we dive into 

• The meaning of pura vida

• Advice on inviting pura vida philosophy into your life

• What to do when things aren’t quote-unquote “pura vida” 

• A reflection on cross-cultural learning, simple living, and kindness

How can we ever expect to change if we only listen, read, and reflect — instead of do? Unfortunately,  there is no shortcut. You must be in the practice to reap its benefits. 

In this episode, I dive into

• an entry-level 8-minute meditation to land in the body and practice listening to its signals 

• a brief explanation of why body connection is important  

• a call to action + the hard truth about making lifestyle and mindset changes

A conversation with Catherine Wetenkamp

How can we move through life with the most joy, connection, and freedom as possible? Are spiritual practices meant for everyone? Who is in charge of writing the when, how, and where in the storybook of our lives? 

In this episode, Cat and I dive into…

• What yoga is and how it serves as an entryway into deeper spiritual exploration 

• The practice of meditation and how it expands your capacity as a human

• How to find embrace your own unique path with a sense trust in the unknown

How do we know what we know? What does truth mean in an age where external verification takes precedence? How do the things we hold true dictate every way we show up in our lives?

In this episode, I dive into…

• The basics of Western epistemology and its modern manifestations in terms of wellness, personal identity, and joy

• Eastern concepts of what valid knowledge can be, direct sense perception, and the Jain doctrine of truth

• The space for individual belief, collective consciousness, and compassion for difference  

• 5 tangible ways to remember how to trust yourself + what it’s like to live with trust

Our bodies and minds are regulated and conditioned — set to think and function in certain ways in certain places. Unfortunately, that might not ever change, so, what the fuck can we do?

In this episode, I sit down with Kitania, a shake rising facilitator, human design specialist, and badass woman. Together we dive into…

• Shake rising - what the practice is and the science behind freeform movement 

• Dance - how it cultivates confidence, sensuality, joy, and freedom

• Human design - discovering your specific energy and how it plugs into the greater whole

• Skepticism - the courage to be with discomfort and try something new

Living in tune is easier than we’ve been taught to think.

What does it mean to be embodied? What does it feel like? And why is it one of the most powerful feelings there is to have? How can we return to our bodies in an environment that constantly regulates, limits, and dictates how we exist within our own physicality? 

In this episode, I dive into 

• The West’s mechanical body logic + how it's conducive to disembodiment 

• East Asian and Indian ideas of the subtle body, body as a gift, and body as cosmic intelligence 

• Why embodiment matters + tangible ways to get it back 

We have been trained (whether known consciously or subconsciously) how to carry ourselves in public spaces, losing the senses of freedom, adventure, and joy that children often associate with their bodies. We have done it so much, we regulate our own bodies in private too, living above them instead of within them, at mercy to them instead of in love with them. True embodiment stands at the corner of understanding why we’ve been taken away, and making an active effort to return.

What is the distinction between mind and body? Us and nature? Goth style and dressing like Pink-a-licious? The spectrum that difference exists on, is it really a straight line? Or, could it perhaps, be a circle?

In this episode, I dive into 

• The philosophical pioneer of dualism in the West + how his ideas continue to influence us

• What non-duality is and how it shows up in Indian and East Asian thought 

• Evidence of non-dualistic energy transfers in day-to-day phenomena

• What non-dual thought conceptions provide us on a spiritual, personal, and relational level 

There is a reason we feel better after petting a dog, going in the ocean, or hugging our best friends. There is a reason we start to notice every instance of others having what we lack. There is a reason that we can never settle the nature/nurture, mind/body, or good/evil debate. The reason — our so-called spectrum of difference connects, and we are simply beads sliding along its chain. Once we realize this, it becomes a lovely circle to slide around.

CHANGE IS HARD! But at the end of the day, it’s our nature to do so. 

So, how can we find a conception of impermanence rooted in its beauty, flow, and cyclical form? And why does doing so open up our hearts, arms, and minds?

In this episode, I dive into 

• The view of change and permanence in the West + 5 ways it hinders our day to day lives

  - Linear change, looking for permanence, fear + disappointment 

• The views of change and permanence in Buddhist, Daoist, and Yogic thought + how they can be integrated into your own life

  - Three marks of conditioned existence, dependent arising, yin + yang, the kleshas and yamas

• Easy ways to practice the skill of ‘change,’ why you should do it + what it means to do so 

  - 4 practices you can do today, new senses of love, gratitude, and presence
