  • 147 Unbecoming Everything You’re Not: Self-Acceptance, Purposeful Work, and Owning Your Story

    What up, Beasts. This conversation with Shaté lit my soul on fire. From the moment we met, it felt like two introverted empaths met at a crossroads of “I love people” and “Please don’t talk to me.” Shaté is this wildly wise, soft-spoken powerhouse who helps people build careers from the inside out. She shared how her own health, and we’re talking mental, emotional, and spiritual here, was deeply impacted by learning to accept herself, own her nonlinear story, and stop people-pleasing her way through life. We unpacked the kind of self-awareness that only therapy, boundaries, and aging into your full damn self can teach you. She reminded me (and maybe you too?) that being “too sensitive” isn’t a flaw. It’s a freakin’ superpower.

    We also dove deep into the wild idea that maybe becoming isn’t about adding more; maybe it’s about unbecoming all the noise we picked up along the way. The boxes. The masks. The “who do you want me to be” energy. Shaté dropped some truth bombs about how your career is part of your health, how loving your work actually improves your physical and financial well-being, and how self-expression might just be the path to everything you’ve ever wanted. This episode isn’t just a pep talk. It’s a permission slip to build a life that feels like home to you. Be your favorite person now. Don’t wait.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

    Bio: Shaté Hayes is the secret weapon behind countless career success stories.

  • 146 Curiosity, Confidence, and Crying at Sunsets

    So y’all know I’m a sucker for a good “know thyself” moment, and Dominic came in hot with a masterclass on self-mastery, curiosity, and the very real power of actually liking yourself. We talked about how most of us have been taught to look outside ourselves for approval, instruction, and even identity, and how the real work (the delicious, messy, glorious work) is in turning inward. Dominic broke down the concept of finding your “edges”, those fear-based borders that show us where we’ve stopped exploring, and how real growth happens when we gently push past them. He compared it to lifting in the gym: you don’t go from squatting 185 to 400 overnight. You show up, you stay curious, and you chip away at those limitations rep by rep, choice by choice. Preach.

    And when he started talking about the body? Oof, I felt that. If you’ve ever worked with me, you know I’m all about reconnecting with your body after years of diet culture disconnection. Dominic echoed this hard, reminding us that movement isn’t about aesthetics, it’s about discovering what your body can do, and using that information to fuel your emotional and even spiritual well-being. We had this moment talking about crying at sunrises (yes, I cry at sunrises now, don't come for me), and it all tied back to being present enough, grounded enough, nourished enough in your body and your nervous system, to actually feel the beauty of life. This episode was like a deep stretch for the soul. You’re gonna want to hear it.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

    Bio: Dominic, known as the Inner Peace Advisor, helps people around the world access a deeper state of self-awareness and lasting inner peace. Drawing from a unique blend of coaching, NLP, Tantra, and remote healing, along with degrees from Stanford (B.S. in Engineering) and Wharton (MBA), he guides clients in dissolving limiting beliefs and aligning with their true selves. His approach is rooted in contemplation, self-knowledge, and the belief that inner peace is not an emotion, but a powerful state of being that transforms how we engage with life.

  • 145 Addicted, Broken, and Ready to Give Up...Until One Moment Changed Everything

    What up, Beasts. This conversation with Rob Lohman cracked me wide open in the best way. Rob’s story is one of redemption, resilience, and raw honesty, and it hits deep. From battling addiction and suicidal ideation to rediscovering his faith and building a new life rooted in purpose, Rob doesn’t just talk about recovery, he lives it. He shares the moment God told him, “You’re done,” and the weight of that literal and metaphorical barbell he nearly let end it all. Instead, Rob chose to fight. To feel. To recover. And now he helps others do the same through his coaching, podcasting, and deeply personal work in the addiction recovery world.

    We also get into the messy middle of healing, how guilt, shame, and insecurity linger even after the substances are gone, and how movement, connection, and calling things like scars and spider veins by name (shoutout to Fred) can help us reclaim our power. Rob reminds us that recovery isn’t a checkbox. It’s a way of life. A decision we make every single day. This episode is packed with hard truths, grace-filled wisdom, and that signature blend of faith and grit that makes Rob who he is. If you're in the middle of the mess, this one's for you.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

    Bio: From the depths of addiction and incarceration to thriving as a dynamic speaker and entrepreneur, Rob Lohman is a powerful example of redemption and resilience. Sober since 2001, Rob uses his story of addiction, suicide ideation, prison, and ultimate transformation to inspire others through keynote speaking, coaching, interventions, and advocacy. He’s the founder of ChristianRehabServices.com, RecoveryBrick.com, and RobLohmanSpeaks.com, and the host of Beyond the Bars Radio and Addiction, Freedom & Faith podcasts. Rob has been featured in Podcast Magazine, Authority Magazine, and Prison Fellowship’s Inside Journal, and he continues to empower individuals and organizations to break free from life’s darkest challenges and live with purpose and faith.

  • 144 When the Life You Built Isn’t the Life You Want Anymore

    What up, Beasts! In this episode, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with the adventurous and wildly insightful Taryn Swanepoel. Born in South Africa, raised in Canada, and now living her best life in Costa Rica, Taryn’s story is a masterclass in following your inner call, even when it leads you way off the beaten path. We talked about what it’s like to uproot your life when your soul starts whispering (or screaming) that it’s time for something new, and how sometimes the scariest decisions lead to the richest, most meaningful chapters. Spoiler alert: she made me rethink my own itch to pack up and move after hitting my seven-year mark in one place.

    But that is just the beginning. We also dove deep into the world of psilocybin therapy (yes, magic mushrooms, but not the party kind) and how Taryn helps people use this powerful plant medicine to heal from depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and the stuck loops we all get trapped in. Her personal story of discovering psilocybin while searching for ways to help her partner through debilitating chronic pain had me sitting back in total awe by the end. This conversation cracked wide open the idea that true healing does not just happen by fixing what is broken. It happens by bravely choosing new paths, over and over again. You are going to love her.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

    Bio: Taryn Swanepoel is a breathwork facilitator, yoga instructor, nutrition coach, and the creator of The Microdose Method—an integrative program combining psilocybin microdosing with somatic and spiritual practices to help people in midlife reignite clarity, energy, and purpose. Drawing from her own journey through burnout and transformation, Taryn guides clients with a trauma-informed, heart-centered approach that blends science and soul. She lives in Costa Rica, where she leads retreats and online programs for high-achieving individuals seeking lasting change.

  • 143 You’re Not Too Broken for Connection: Real Talk on Healing and Self-Worth

    What up, Beasts! In this episode, I sat down with the amazing Robyn Smith, a trauma and relationship coach, yoga teacher of 30 years, and all-around wisdom-dropper now living in Costa Rica. Robyn opened up about how early attachment wounds shaped her self-worth and relationships, and how no amount of yoga or meditation could replace the deeper healing she needed. It wasn’t until she turned to coaching that things truly started to shift, helping her build real friendships, inner peace, and a healthy relationship with herself and others.

    We talked about how trauma shows up in our bodies, our health, and our ability to connect, and why real change starts with self-compassion. Robyn shares practical tips for improving communication, setting boundaries, and learning to speak your truth without blame. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating old patterns or why relationships feel harder than they should, this episode is a powerful starting point.

  • 142 The Power of Loving Your Body Exactly As She Is

    What up, Beasts! In today’s episode, I sat down with the powerhouse Booty Kicking Ballerina herself, Rachel Jenks. If you have ever felt like your body betrayed you, this conversation is going to hit you right in the heart. Rachel shares her story of chasing her dream as a professional ballerina, only to hit rock bottom physically, mentally, and emotionally when perfection pushed her past her limits. What blew me away was how she used that breaking point as a launchpad for radical healing, learning to love, listen to, and honor her body instead of punishing it. Spoiler: her comeback is not about going harder, it is about going deeper.


    Rachel and I dive into the mindset shifts that changed everything for both of us, moving from discipline as punishment to movement as partnership. We talk about the power of keeping promises to yourself, tuning into what your body actually needs, and building an identity around loving how you move, not hating how you look. This episode is a permission slip to ditch the shame, embrace your inner powerhouse, and treat your body like the brilliant, badass ally it is. Get ready to feel seen, empowered, and fired up.


    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.


    Bio: Rachel Jenks, also known as the Booty Kicking Ballerina, is a seasoned coach, NASM Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist, personal trainer, and health coach who helps dancers and high performers move pain-free and reconnect with their bodies. Combining her professional ballet background with her expertise in movement and mind-body connection, Rachel delivers transformative results for her clients.

    After injury and unhealthy mindsets ended her ballet career, Rachel refused to accept a life of chronic pain. Her decades-long healing journey fueled her passion for helping others strengthen not just their bodies, but their whole selves. She also spent two decades in marketing, founded The Brand Boss Studio, hosted The Brand Boss Show podcast, and authored the Amazon bestseller Morning Tea. Today, she is dedicated to coaching, speaking, and sharing her love for movement, adventure, and creative living.

  • 141 Human Design, Menstrual Magic & Living Confidently

    What up, Beasts! In this episode, I sat down with the radiant Lucia—who I swear feels like a long-lost soul sister I just met five minutes ago. Lucia is a Holistic Health Mentor (yes, capitalized, because she’s the real deal), and we dove deep into what it means to live a fully aligned, juicy, multi-dimensional life. From her childhood fascination with crystals and ancient cultures to navigating the dark night of the teenage soul, Lucia's path to healing and empowerment has been a whole vibe. We explored everything from menstrual cycles to human design, and how tuning into your intuition, like actually listening to that gut feeling, not just pretending it’s indigestion, can totally change your life. Spoiler alert: I’m a Manifesting Generator, which explains my obsession with bouncy houses, karaoke, and fitting an entire theme park into a Tuesday.

    Lucia broke down human design in a way that made my soul do a happy little cha-cha. She walked me through my chart (yes, we did a mini live reading!) and showed how understanding your energy type can literally rewire how you move through the world, from how you rest, to what kind of environments help you thrive, to why my happiest exhausted face shows up after a day of pure alignment. We talked about how our energy influences not just our health, but the people around us, and how parenting with this awareness can be game-changing. If you’ve ever felt like traditional health advice didn’t quite fit, or like you’re craving a deeper, more personalized path to wellness, this episode is your permission slip to dive headfirst into the magical, science-meets-soul rabbit hole of human design.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

    Bio: Everyone desires to feel energized and confident every single day, and Lucia has discovered the secret to achieving just that. With over 11 years of experience, Lucia has initiated and guided more than 1,000 clients worldwide, holding the space for YOU to reclaim your inner power without spending more years feeling tired and fearful.

    "Be energized and confident no matter what." Lucia specializes in guiding established and aspiring artists and coaches back to their natural selves through lifestyle coaching rooted in science and spirituality. Her approach is built on three pillars:

    -Menstrual Cycle Awareness Mentoring

    -Mindful Evidence-Based Nutrition Mentoring

    -Human Design Readings

    As your channel between science and spirituality, Lucia utilizes a vast range of healing modalities, including meditation, Human Design, intuitive channeling, and painting. Most importantly, she co-creates with your light-shining energy, initiating you deeper and wider into your true potential.

    Lucia's greatest passion is to help you experience the sovereignty of your lifestyle choices. When you choose to live in harmony with your choices, you influence your health and well-being, inner cycles, the collective, and planet Earth.

  • 140 She Had to Be the Perfect Child: What Happens When You’re Always the Strong One

    What up, Beasts! In this episode, I sat down with the incredible Suyapa, a licensed clinical social worker and fellow eldest daughter who knows all about the pressure of having it all together. She opened up about growing up in a Mexican and Honduran family, caring for her siblings who live with disabilities and mental health challenges, and what it means to carry adult responsibilities before you even hit your teen years. We talked about what it's like to be the one who always holds it down, the emotional weight that comes with that role, and how it shapes our relationships, our bodies, and our sense of self.

    This one hit me in the feels. Suyapa and I got real about hyper-independence, loneliness, and how healing starts when we finally give ourselves permission to ask for help. We also dove into how our past can mess with our self-trust, and how unlearning old narratives takes serious patience and compassion. Whether you're navigating your own healing, supporting a family member, or just trying to figure out who you are under all the pressure, this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that connection really can be medicine.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

    Bio: Suyapa is a trauma-informed, culturally responsive licensed clinical social worker therapist who specializes in working with BIPOC adults navigating the complexities of having disabled siblings or siblings living with mental health and substance misuse challenges. With over 14 years of experience, she focuses on trauma and anxiety symptoms, using EMDR, Brainspotting, and a strong social justice lens to help clients heal from intergenerational wounds, unlearn people-pleasing, and reconnect with their authentic selves. Suyapa offers virtual therapy services throughout California, Florida, and Nevada.

  • 139 When Doing It All Breaks You: The Truth About Shame, Survival, and Starting Over

    What up, Beasts! This episode with Jessica Summers felt like meeting a soul twin I didn’t know I had. We jumped straight in, talking about why “simple” tasks can feel impossibly complicated and how we’ve both had to unlearn the idea that we should be able to do everything ourselves. From latchkey kid survival tactics to the pressure of being good at all the things, we unpacked what it really means to ask for help, why that can be so hard, and how burnout is often the price we pay for pretending we don’t need support.


    Jessica and I also got fired up about the diet industry and the shame it profits off of. We talked about the lies we’ve been sold, the disconnection so many of us feel from our bodies, and why intuitive eating flipped the script for me in the best way. This conversation touches on body image, addiction, mental health, and the power of finally deciding to stop performing for the world and start healing for yourself. It’s raw, real, and one of those episodes that might just change how you see yourself.


    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.

  • 138 Modern Medicine Woman: The Truth About Healing Mind, Body, and Soul

    What up, Beasts. This episode of Unveiling the Beast was pure soul fuel. I sat down with the radiant Tylynn Mackenzie, a modern day medicine woman whose healing powers stretch across lifetimes, literally. From massage therapy and Reiki to past life regressions and astrology, Tylynn’s work is all about helping people peel back the layers of pain, trauma, and old patterns to uncover their truest selves. And y’all know that speaks to my whole brand. Those protective layers we build up over time? She’s helping people shed them with intention and grace. Her story of escaping an abusive relationship, discovering massage as a path to heal her own body, and then letting that path crack open all her other spiritual gifts? Goosebumps. Straight-up goosebumps.

    We also got real about postpartum healing, how our society fails moms, and why self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s survival. Tylynn reminded us that healing is never one size fits all. It’s layered, it's messy, and it’s sacred. She beautifully explained how modalities like Reiki and astrology aren’t just “woo,” they're tools for self-discovery and empowerment. And listen, if you’ve ever felt like your soul’s been here before, her take on past lives and soul patterns might just blow your mind wide open. This episode was like a warm hug, a wake-up call, and a cosmic pep talk all in one. So if you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or just curious about what your body’s trying to say, this is your sign to tune in and start unveiling your own beast.

    As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.


    Bio: Tylynn Mackenzie is on a mission to experience radiance in her body, mind, and soul while helping her fellow humans shine at their fullest capacity as well through a variety of modalities.
