11. Why and How to Embrace Your Shadow

Ever feel like affirmations, visualization or positive thinking just doesn't quite cut it? A crucial aspect of manifesting and creating our dream reality requires us to be courageous and dig even deeper. If you've heard about words like "shadow" or "shadow work" but don't quite know what it means, then listen to this episode! I break down in 4 sections: What is shadow work and why it's important? How it may show up in your daily life? I also give concrete examples of my own shadow, plus sharing a couple of techniques and practices to get you started on this work. "The shadows hold the clues and secrets and essence of who we are. They hold our most treasured gifts. By facing these aspects of ourselves, we become free to experience our glorious totality: the good and the bad, the dark and the light." - Debbie Ford, author of Dark Side of Light Chasers

10. How to Stop Fearing Change: Why Change is Beautiful

Have you ever felt tired or stuck in a cycle of self-created suffering or misery? (I know I have) In this episode I wanted to talk about the changes that happen within each of us. It's those moments that force us to examine the ways we've been trapped in our own minds, by conditioning, beliefs, and layers of identity. When we continue to fear and resist the necessary need to shift and grow, then often times we're confronted with hitting rock bottom, and therefore forced to painfully pick up the pieces before turning a new page. I invite us all to shift our fear of change and embrace it with openness to see it as what it really is. So that the next time a challenge or conflict walks in the door, instead of fight or flight, we can embrace the necessity of change and allow it to guide us back to our most connected, joyful and powerful self.

9. Navigating Through Venus and Mercury Retrogrades

Have you ever felt a little nervous when finding out a retrograde is around the corner? We've all heard about how Mercury retrogrades can mess with technology and how you shouldn't travel during its duration, but there is so much more to it. In this episode, I discuss how we can work WITH planetary retrogrades, specifically more in depth exploration with the current Venus retrograde (in Gemini ending on June 25th) and the upcoming Mercury retrograde (in Cancer from June 18th-July 12th) Retrogrades are never "negative" or "bad", even though we sure like to blame our problems on them! Instead, it can be a reflective, inquisitive and nourishing time for each of us. Listen to this episode as I dive deeper on planetary retrogrades and events, and how to navigate them with fruitful grace and compassion. Slow down, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

8. Reprogram Negative Reactions to Conscious Response

Ever find yourself getting heated with a stranger or loved ones over seemingly trivial matters? I know I'm guilty. Many of us have been conditioned into the same reactive patterns of behavior when we feel triggered, insecure, or find the need to defend our identity or righteousness. After a while though, you sense that all the frustration, hurt, and anger we experience not only spill over into our relationships and interactions with others, it may have also become an unbearable layer of discomfort and burden in our daily experiences. In this episode, I dive into the reasons behind our automated, often conflict ridden reactions, and explore the different ways we may begin to reprogram and rewire them into more expansive and conscious responses.

7. Human Design: A Deeper Dive with Amanda Prechel

In this episode, our guest Amanda Prechel imparts some curious and insightful wisdom on how Human Design helps us navigate our decision making, and tap into our own unique potentials with full embrace and acceptance. We discuss Human Design Types, Authority, the 9 Energy Centers, and a bit on the conscious and unconscious gates. So often we look to our external environment and circumstances to seek understanding and fulfillment, but the more we turn inward with curiosity and compassion, the more we are able to shed light and reveal our most authentic and connected selves. In stepping into our own magic and understanding our soul's purpose in this lifetime, we become an artist and architect of a more joyous way of being.

6. Self Care vs. Self Work: The Difference and How to Find Balance

#Selfcare has been popularized across social media. But when does self-care cross over into self-sabotage? How can we navigate the fine line between caring and nurturing ourselves vs simply distractions or avoidance. It is equally if not even more important to discover the joy and fruits of "self-work" - not the same as self-care. What might self work look like? In this episode, we talk about why it is essential to dig deeper so we may find sustainable, unshakable joy vs temporary and fleeting pleasures.

5. What Does it Mean to Love Yourself?

Is self love selfish or narcissistic? What does it mean when we hear "you can't love others until you learn to love yourself first?" In this episode, we dive into what self love is NOT, and how might loving ourself show up in our daily lives, actions and intentions. Why is it so important to learn the art of loving yourself and how to step onto the path of self love in a deeper, more compassionate and expanded way. There's no argument that learning about how to love ourselves better is one of the foundational elements to guide us back to our most powerful and connected self.

4. What if Reincarnation and Souls are Real?

Almost every culture across time and distance has their own version of beliefs about reincarnation. It is a fascinating concept to think that our souls might continue on even after the death of our physical bodies in this current life time. Though science hasn't caught up to provide 100% proof of afterlife or evidence of reincarnation, WHAT IF we believed it for one moment? Here are some very interesting reincarnation tales and discussion of how it might affect us in this life, if reincarnation and everlasting souls are real.

3. How to Feel in Times of Uncertainty

We've all been lost yet navigating this new reality of a world pandemic, and staying home during lockdown and self quarantine. There's much uncertainty, and an array of information telling us how we should be, do and feel. in this episode, I want to talk about how you may be feeling these past couple of weeks or months, and how we can bring more acceptance and love into our daily lives. Nothing you do or feel during this time is right or wrong... The most important thing is that we show up for ourselves with compassion and loving kindness every single day, no matter what kind of day it is.
