    This week we are talking liveeee from the playaaa, I recorded this one before my burn started, sharing my actual intentions going into Burning Man and how I approach festivals as something to more deeply understand myself instead of losing myself.

If you've ever judged something before trying it, or thought you needed permission to be fully yourself, this episode is your reminder that the magic was never out there, it's been you the whole time.

  • IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM | Leah's story being groomed, healing, & rebuilding her life

    This one is my cousin Leah, and it's one of the realest conversations I've ever recorded on this podcast. We found each other a few years ago through a DNA test and became instant best friends, and this episode is her whole story.

    We get into her being groomed by a much older man starting at 14, the depression and suicidal thoughts she carried through high school, the pattern of toxic relationships that followed her into her twenties, and her rock bottom. Then we get into how she came back from all of it, therapy, inner child work, learning to actually listen to her own nervous system, and building a life she now wakes up excited for.

    This episode is heavy in places. It's also so mf hopeful and inspiring. If you've ever wondered whether you can come back from your worst chapter, Leah is proof that you can ! <3

  • IF THEY CAN DO IT YOU CAN DO IT

    This week we are talkinngggg about the mindset shift that changed everything for me, from walking into rooms feeling like everyone else had it figured out, to fully stepping into my own confidence and creating the life I used to only write about in my journal.

    A little bit of this, a little bit of that:
    - How I went from feeling like an outsider everywhere I went to choosing confidence on purpose
    - Why jealousy is actually just a map to what you really want
    - Manifestation, "acting as if," and speaking your reality into existence
    - Leaving Mormonism, toxic relationships, and starting completely from zero
    - Why slowing down has made me more successful, not less
    - Why your authenticity, even the "weird" parts ! is your superpower

    If you've ever looked at someone else's life and thought "I wish I could do that," this episode is your reminder: they started exactly where you are right now.

  • Lessons from a Thai Monk | Pa Pae Meditation Retreat

    episode 2 of season 2 baby! this one's a little different, I sat down with a monk in Thailand. an actual monk ! who's been ordained for 17 years, who I met at a meditation retreat and just had to ask if I could interview lol.

    we get into his whole story, becoming a novice monk at nine years old, heartbreak sending him into meditation as a teenager, ordaining for what was supposed to be eight months and never leaving, and what it's actually like to give a blessing to every person in your community rich, poor, dying, grieving and realize everyone is carrying the same suffering underneath.

    we talk about ego, attachment, why happiness that comes from inside is different from happiness from stuff/validation/outside things, and he gives some of the most simple but profound advice on self-compassion I've ever heard.

  • LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU | holiday boundaries, navigating OCD, HSP & PMDD

    YA GURL IS IN BALI BABY. This is a solo catch-up episode. Talking through what’s been moving through my body and brain since buying a one-way ticket and landing here.I talk about finally feeling regulated. About not being in a toxic relationship for the first time in my life and what it’s like to choose myself without waiting for permission. About why I’m not trying to reinvent myself, I’m just realigning with who I’ve always been.We get into living your life for you, setting boundaries around the holidays, why time limits are allowed, and why “I have a meeting” can mean a meeting with yourself. I share how I protect my energy now, why I stopped forcing myself into spaces that don’t feel good, and what it looks like to respect your sensitivity instead of fighting it.I also talk about OCD, PMDD, morning pages, creativity, intuition, and learning how to work with my mind instead of against it. And why being sensitive isn’t a weakness, it’s literally how you filter what stays and what goes.This episode is messy, honest, and very much a brain dump. But the through-line is simple:
the more you are yourself, the more aligned your life becomes. In relationships, in work, in everything.If you’re tired of living out of alignment, this one’s for you baby!
