What if everything you’re seeking is already within you? What if the protection or safety or security you seek is already all within you? What if you don’t need confirmation or validation or approval from some outside source to validate you? You have more choice than you may believe. In this episode, I share perspective around choice, my personal experiences with choice and what I’m noticing about what’s unfolding currently in our society. In short, I believe we all know we deserve “better” and we’re not going to find that by looking outside. Everything we want is inside of us…only if we take enough time & space to be with ourselves to find it.

Pain & suffering is a natural part of life. It’s something that we will alll experience, if not already, at some point in our lives. And while we can’t escape the pain and the suffering of life, there is a skillful, much more self serving way to navigate through it, so that it doesn’t leave us feeling empty or depleted but rather in flow. In this episode, I share a perspective to help you learn a new way to experience situations that may cause you pain & suffering.

In the episode, I share 3 somatic experiencing based healing tools that I use to help me self sooth & to return back to safety anytime I’m emotionally activated, ungrounded, or really anytime I think I need to use them. These techniques have been & continue to be immensely helpful for me & I believe that they can be helpful for you too. Somatic experiencing (or ‘SE’) is a body centered approach that offers a variety of tools, techniques, & practices for treating & healing trauma & other stress related disorders. It was first discovered in the 1970s by trauma therapist —Dr Peter Levine & ever since, it has come to be considered a leading edge therapy approach to effectively & successfully healing what’s been laying dormant or stuck in the body. What makes SE different from other trauma healing practices, is that, rather than focusing only on thoughts or memories from a traumatic experience, it expands to include the natural bodily (somatic) responses as well….and reconnecting to the body is where true lasting healing begins. SE is a transformative process that I strongly believe can help nearly anyone to heal; helping one to develop a true sense of resiliency over their life & to allow a sense of safety to be created again. And so with that, if this resonates with you, give this episode a listen & feel free to take these 3 tools with you to use from here on out anytime you need to restore safety in your body/life.

I share all of this in hopes that it can inspire you to break a habit that is no longer in alignment to you or your higher good in a practical realistic way.

Judgment is happening all the time. And most times it’s happening and we’re unconscious of it. In this episode, I share a perspective around why being so judgmental can actually be detrimental to our lives & how it also may be what’s blocking many of us from truly living a life felt with peace, joy, & freedom. I also share a few tips & questions you can ask yourself that can serve you in the practice of learning to shift your relationship with the judging mind. I hope that this episode brings you exactly what you need. Thank you for being here & for listening. Let me know what your thought!! I’d love to hear your feedback.

In this episode, I share a short message, words of inspiration, a gentle reminder to you that it’s okay to be vulnerable with yourself & that it’s okay to let yourself into your heart.

You have radical permission to open up again & to feel so that you can heal my friend! You deserve to feel better! Sending you so much love & thank you for listening!

In this episode, I share a recorded audio guided mediation on grief and loss; a practice I led live on insight timer yesterday. The intention is to create & hold space as we move through the difficult processes of life. This is an opportunity for us to sit with the truth that…life is not fair. And some things maybe shouldn’t have happened. Either way it did & the way we feel about it matters. Loss, no matter the type, can feel painful & for many of us it can also feel challenging to move through with acceptance or ease. The practice I share with you here aims to hopefully offer you atleast some space, a moment for you to be with your self as you move through whatever arises in real time. Namaste my friend.

Sometimes life will test us and send us challenges that may seem too unbearable or difficult to face or overcome. And in those moments, we may lose hope, trust, faith in ourselves & in god. And if we don’t seek refuge or retreat to heal ourselves, such circumstances can perpetuate further feelings of disconnectedness, lowering us into a state of deep suffering. And so that’s why, in this episode, I share 3 tools we can return too, not only when we find ourselves in this low vibrational space, but tools that are readily available to us at all times whenever we need them. So listen in to learn more about what they are so that you can remember to come back to them anytime you feel called too.

In this episode, I share what “fake it until you make it,” means to me. In short, it means to allow yourself to be a beginner. Whether you’re starting a new job, new relationship, new path of healing even…in the beginning it’ll feel different, it’ll feel scary. And that’s okay. Still, allow yourself to simply be a beginner. Fake it til you make it.
