Happy Monday Family!!!

COnversations with Friends, Episode 6 is a conversation with my friend, Danielle Haines. Danielle is a special soul in my life and in the life of so many humans on this planet. She is a mother, a sister, a friend, a midwife, a doula, a lover and a healer. She brings light and love to all circles she sits within. I am grateful to have her energy being shared with you all.

Danielle is a seasoned midwife in Phoenix AZ, working with mamas during their pregnancy and after as they bring new life into this world. The pureness of this time of life is known by our midwives. As long as their have been women, there have been midwives at their side walking them through the birth. 

This friend of mine is also a yogi and energy worker using Body Talk (https://www.bodytalksystem.com/) to tune into bodies and assist with the deep healing that is stored in the bodies muscle memory/awareness. 

She serves her community in multiple ways and her sisters too. I met Danielle 5 years ago duing my last pregancy. She greeted me into a group of souls that will forever be my midwives. I am thankful to be continuing to grow alongside this super powered mama and to know that her work is steadily moving forward.

Tune in for birth talk and all that comes with it. In birth, we walk through the threshold of life and death, teetering in between the 2. The women that stand by your side in these moments are forever your sisters. Their stories mean so much to us all. 

You can get in contact with Danielle through her website https://www.daniellehaines.com/ and on Facebook under her name. She is currently attending home births in the greater Phoenix area. If you are expecting and reading these words, she just might be your midwife too!

Peace family!!! XO

Happy Monday family!!!

Conversations with Friends Episode 5 is a conversation with my friend, Daniel Tes!

Daniel and I have known each other for over a decade now. We met in Southern California and just so happen to be neighbors again in the desert.

Daniel and his wife moved out to Phoenix to open The Local Donut, a neighborhood donut shop that feels like the Cheers of donut shops. If you're in Scottsdale make sure you check them out! 

Daniel and I worked together in So Cal and while we did plenty of work, we also talked, a lot! I began my vegetarian lifestyle sitting next to my friend and always felt a special connection with him when it came to food, healing and creativity.

He is an amazing artist and creator. He has a trusted ear in hip hop and is always looking for ways to rise himself and those around him to the next level. I learned a few new things about my friend in today's conversation too, like he is a practicing yogi and enjoys kundalini! Its funny how time can move in and push friends apart though they somehow evolve along similar paths.

Tune in to hear friends talking about business, healing, friendship, creation and donuts!!!

Thank you Daniel for being my friend. And for sharing your energy on the show! Daniel also was a special guest on last weeks Healing Kitchen LIVE!

Peace fam xo

Happy Monday family!!!

Welcome back to Conversations with Friends Episode 4!

Today's conversation is with a local friend and a native of the Sonoran desert, Nicholle Caldwell. Nicholle is an international public speaker, intuitive healer/coach and medium that helps women connect with their inner voice, learning to trust it.

Nicholle is a mama friend too and like so many of us, is being transformed by the blessing of motherhood. She shares her love of movement and meditation with children around the valley during her family yoga class and is a best selling author in the book When You're Done Expecting, a much needed collection of stories that share the many different perspectives of motherhood after birth. She also uses her natural born skills to help connect children with their intution, a much needed focus for the newer generations of youth!

Nicholle is launching her newest intuitive guiding program on September 9th! If you are interested in learning more about intuitive healing and how you can come to trusting your inner awareness, check this beautiful woman out at http://www.momgelic.com/ or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/nicholle.caldwell. 

If you are in the valley tune in for fall yoga sessions starting again soon too! We cannot wait to join for them to start back up. Intuitive yoga, in the park, with children and adults... Sounds like my families kind of thing!

Check out today's episode as we talk healing and what it looks like to us as women, mothers and eternal energetic beings.

Happy Monday beautiful people!!!

Converations with Friends Episode 3 is a super dope convo with someone I have known since elementary school. Viet Mai has always been an inspiration to me and now as adults I am so much more moved by my friends skills, intelligence and passion.

Viet is one of my favorite writers and I learned in the show why. Please make sure you check out his flagship poem titled Problem Solving. He is an award winning slam poet and uses his words to celebrate and encourage us all.

Viet has a desire to help create healthier environments in the communities he loves. His work is continuing to grow and be developed as he finishes his MA in Social Innovation in San Diego CA and he is using this continued education to support the rapidly growing field of social entreprenuership, a field he knows well.

My friend is building, changing, pushing, healing, asking, writing and knows that 

"Every Moment is a Life Changing Moment". Tune into his work at www.vietmai.com and check out his new social community on Facebook Vincii, INC @ https://www.facebook.com/vincii.inc/ .

Step by step and together, WE can get anything done. To the work family!!!

Happy Monday family!!!

Welcome back to Conversations with Friends, Episode 2!

This weeks friend is a fellow Piscean soul, writer and a part of my Portland family, Jenny Forrester.

Jenny is the creator and host of Unchaste Readers, a LIVE poetry show that began in Portland and is preparing to spread its wings and move to Colorado. Jenny has inspired, encouraged and presented numerous writers in the Portland area, giving a voice to the voiceless, the disempowered and to the quiet tones of our hearts. I was a guest reader in her show and feel blessed to have one of my most significant poems in the second volume of Unchaste Readers Anthology. She is commited to the community she is a part of and we are all grateful for her work.

Jenny is an amazing writer and published author herself too! In May of 2017, along with the support of Hawthorne Books of Portland OR, Jenny released her 1st major title, Narrow River, Wide Sky: A Memoir. She writes of her life growing up in rural Colorado and of her family, especially her Mother. This book was so well recieved in Portland, it won the Multnomah County Library Best Book of 2017 and is now available wherever books are sold!!!

I met this beautiful friend on a cold and snowy night in Portland, behind a microphone, feeling nervous and out of place. Her warmth and tender soul instantly made me feel right at home. 

Listen in on one of our conversations. Peace family XO

Its a new show, with the same vibrations!

Gratitude and honor from my heart to yours :)

Happy Monday family!!!

Welcome to the new show, Conversations with Friends!!!

I am so honored to begin this new project with the love and healing energy of my plant sister, my friend, my guru, Eden Croft. 

Eden is navigating the healing journey of life, love and family with grace, openess, ancestral wisdom and the support of Mother Earth and the plants she provides to us. This episode is full of knowlege, love and personal accounts of what healing really feels like. 

I have been inspired by this woman for years now, though by the end of this first episode, I felt new steps in my own healing path. This is an episode you do not want to miss! 

Eden shares her personal account of an Ayahuasca experience she is working through. She also taps into the plant wisdom of her homeland, Zimbabwe and how plants have guided her and her family towards health since the beginning. 

Truly, the best energy I could have asked for to begin this new direction of the show. Plants heal. WE heal. Step by step, through faith and hard work, we create the world we desire to see!!! 

Tune in family... and TUNE UP!!!

New episodes every Monday afternoon! Gratitude and infinite LOVE!!!

Happy Monday family!!!

The final episode of Align with Plants, Align with Health is here. Though this is no ending. I decided to wrap up this first portion of the show with a very personal story of M.E. Of my self worth and of my balue on this Earth. We each live stories to gain lessons from and share with our brothers and sisters. We all are capable of loving, anyways. I wrap the show with the steps I have taken to get here. I am grateful for each moment of each step. I am grateful for you. I love you!

Be back soon :)

Happy Thursday Family!!!

Final SUPER BONUS EPISODE of Align with Plants, Align with Health!!!

This show wouldn't be complete without the high vibing energy of my friend and guest today, Sean Berahmand. Sean is a Portland Oregon recording artist and healer that I actually worked with to make our song GREENS and a new song yet to be released. 

Sean is an open soul, a wise human and has a heart of gold. He creates his music from a position of feeling indebted to the friendship he has formed with music over his life. This is my longest episode actually! Sean and I can really go in on conversation and talk for hours, easily.

Tune in to learn more about Sean's creative process, on how he uses music as a healing modality and what he sees as the necessities for a balanced, whole life. 

You DO NOT want to miss this episode! So much love and light shared.
