Where the Woo Meets the Work

Episode 10: In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my very first wellness retreat — the one that completely shifted the course of my life and business. What started as a weekend getaway in Breckenridge, Colorado turned into a full-blown spiritual awakening that gave me the clarity I’d been searching for.

If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected from your purpose, or curious about going on a retreat yourself, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear About:

• Why I decided to go on a wellness retreat in the first place
• What it was really like going to a retreat
• The moment that sparked my spiritual awakening and the exact downloads that came through for me
• What the retreat taught me about purpose, alignment, and following your soul’s calling

Resources Mentioned:

• Retreat hosts: @headstandsandheels (Melanie) and @sheflowsandgrows

Episode 8: Have you ever wondered what people mean when they talk about 3D, 5D, or ascension? In this episode, we’re unpacking the 12 dimensions of consciousness — what they actually are, how they interact, and what it means to move between them.

You’ll learn why dimensions aren’t places you travel to, but frequencies of vibration and awareness that shape how you experience reality.

Whether you’re new to this topic or deep into your awakening, this episode will give you a grounded framework for understanding how consciousness evolves and how to access higher frequencies right now.

Episode 7: Confidence isn’t something you wait around for, it’s something you build by taking action. In this episode of Where the Woo Meets the Work, I’m joined by Katja Lillian — Life Coach, Business Mentor, Top-Ranked Podcast Host, and in my humble opinion, the Confidence Queen 👑

We dive deep into what confidence really is (and what it isn’t), why waiting until you “feel ready” only holds you back, and how to take bold action even when self-doubt, fear of judgment, or perfectionism are screaming at you to stay small.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ Why confidence comes after you show up, not before

✨ The biggest myths about confidence (and the truth that sets you free)

✨ Simple practices to build self-trust and follow through on your promises

✨ How to move through fear of failure and judgment

✨ The one shift Katja sees instantly help her clients embody confidence

If you’ve been procrastinating on something big or letting fear hold you back, this conversation will remind you that you don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Done is better than perfect and every small action you take builds the confidence you’re craving.

Hit play and get ready to borrow belief, take messy action, and step into your most confident self.

Episode 6: We all crave that little hit of feel-good energy, but sometimes we look for it in the wrong places. Scrolling, snacking, binge-watching… they give us a dopamine spike, but leave us feeling drained.

In this episode of Where the Woo Meets the Work, I’m sharing how I built my own dopamine menu; a menu of go-to activities that give me energy, focus, and joy (without the guilt).

Here’s what you’ll hear:

• What dopamine actually is and how it impacts your motivation
• Why your brain craves quick “fixes” like shopping, food, or your phone
• My dopamine menu: appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts you can try today
• How to swap bad dopamine habits for ones that fuel your purpose

Whether you’ve been stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling, or you just want more sustainable ways to feel good day-to-day, this episode will help you create your own personalized dopamine menu that supports your highest self.

Episode 5: What if the challenges, relationships, and even hardships in your life weren’t random, but agreements your soul made before you were born?

In this episode, I break down what a soul contract is, why we create them, and how they shape our purpose, relationships, and growth.

You’ll learn:

• Why souls choose lessons, challenges, and even illness for spiritual evolution
• The role of the pre-birth council, soul families, and karma
• How contracts show up in relationships (twin flames, soulmates, karmic partners)
• How to find meaning and empowerment in your own experiences

By the end, you’ll see your life through a new lens. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” you'll be thinking, “How is this happening for me?”

Episode 4: This week, I’m sharing my experience at the Powerhouse Women Conference in Phoenix, AZ. This weekend came at the perfect time in my life. I’ll walk you through what the event was like, the connections I made, and the powerful lessons I took away that shifted how I see community, growth, and courage in business and life.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• What it felt like walking into a huge event alone at my rock bottom
• Why community matters so much more than we think 
• The advice from Lori Harder that finally pushed me to launch this podcast
• The difference between learning personal growth and actually living it
• How “cringe and audacity” might just be the secret to building the life you want

If you’ve ever felt alone in your journey, this episode is for you. And if you’re craving connection, growth, and new energy in your business or personal life, I can’t recommend attending an in-person event enough.

Episode 3: Here’s the truth: you’re already manifesting every single day. The question isn’t if manifestation works, it’s whether you’re doing it on autopilot, or consciously creating the life you actually want.

In this episode of Where The Woo Meets The Work, I’m breaking down all things manifestation so you can finally understand how it really works and start using it intentionally.

We’ll talk about:

• What manifestation actually is (beyond wishful thinking)
• How your subconscious mind creates 95% of your reality
• Common misconceptions that keep people stuck
• My personal manifestation stories (big and small!)
• And the 5-step process I use to manifest anything in my life

If you’ve ever wondered, “Does manifestation really work?” or “How do I actually do it?”  this episode is your answer.

Episode 2: What does it really mean to be spiritual? And how is it different from being religious? In this episode of Where The Woo Meets The Work, I’m breaking down one of the most common questions I get: “What is spirituality, and why does it matter?”

I’ll share my own spiritual journey — from growing up Catholic to exploring Eastern traditions, navigating my first “dark night of the soul,” and ultimately finding my way back to Source. Along the way, I unpack:

• The true definition of spirituality 
• How spirituality is different from religion 
• Why spirituality is important 
• Whether you can be religious and spiritual at the same time
• The fear of “coming out of the spiritual closet” and how to navigate friends and family who may not understand
• Simple ways to deepen your spirituality today
