Hey there friend! Today I'm sharing how I've been using Dr. Joe Dispenza's work to actually change myself from the inside out, especially when anxiety tries to take over. I've reached a point in this journey where I'm clear on who I want to become, and now I'm practicing that change in real time… even through back-to-back panic attacks. I also shar…

Hey there friend! Today, I share what I've learned about keeping myself calm (instead of panicking) in situations where I would have otherwise lost my mind. I share a story about a panic attack I was having on Sunday and how I ended up doing one of my favorite photoshoots ever because I pushed through it. And I also share a story about a mystical e…

Hey there friend! There are moments when life rearranges itself in an instant...not to punish us, but to show us who we're becoming. I this episode, I share a recent experience where an unexpected change arrived, and instead of spiraling, something quieter and wiser inside me responded. I stayed open. I stayed present. I created a new path out of w…

Hey there friend! Today, I'm talking about a part of awakening that doesn't get mentioned enough... the phase where Law of Attraction tools suddenly stop feeling effective, and your spark seems to disappear. I've been moving through this myself, and I've learned it's not a setback at all. It's just what happens when your system is shifting on a dee…

Hey there friend! Today, I share powerful takeaways from a recent groundwork and riding lesson with my horse, Abigail. What began as a simple ride turned into a real-time experience of managing fear, pressure, and uncertainty. When Abigail became startled during our ride, I had to override my instinct to shut down and stay present in the face of es…

Hey there friend! In this episode, I break down what it actually means to "know yourself" and why meditation is one of the most powerful tools for uncovering the unconscious patterns that shape your thoughts, habits, identity, and nervous system responses. We often hear that we should "go within," but what does that even mean in practice? For me, k…

Hey there friend! Lately, I've been realizing that I don't need to wait for some big divine download or perfect moment to start moving toward the life I want. This episode came from one small moment...making something from the heart for my hairdresser just because I wanted to. That simple act, rooted in joy and creativity, ended up feeling more ali…

Hey there friend! Lately I've been reflecting on how much of my energy has been wrapped up in trying to keep people comfortable, especially through over-empathy and emotional caretaking. In this episode, I'm unpacking what that looks like in real life, how it's connected to the nervous system, and why so many of us feel burnt out even when we're tr…

Hey there friend! In this episode, I explore why certain healing or manifestation tools stop working and what might really be happening beneath the surface. If you've felt like you're doing all the "right" things (meditations, mindset work, gratitude practice), but still not seeing results, your nervous system could be the missing piece.…

Hey there friend! Ever wonder why Dr. Joe starts every meditation by guiding you into alpha? In this episode, I break down the science and power of the alpha brainwave state—how it helps regulate your nervous system, quiet the noise, and actually change your reality. Plus, I share how I'm learning to live from this space not just in meditation, but…

Hey there friend! On a stormy night in the woods, I found myself inside a living metaphor for my mind, loud noises and all. Instead of running from the chaos, I stayed. I breathed. I dropped into alpha. What happened next changed something deep in me. In this episode, I share how I turned that storm into a spiritual recalibration… and discovered th…

Hey there friend! I took a spontaneous camping trip this week, and it ended up shifting my entire perspective. Out there in the stillness, I made a decision...I'm done being mean to myself. I'm learning how to take up space, open my heart, and stop reacting from old wounds. One moment that really struck me was watching someone else have a completel…

Hey there friend! There's something magical that happens when we finally zoom out and realize that every delay, detour, every "not yet" was actually right on time. In this video, I share some of the most challenging moments in my journey and how they secretly set me up for the exact life I'm living now. And how I wouldn't change a thing about it!…

Hey there friend! In this episode, I share a story that started with an abundance meditation and how it unfolded in a way I never could've planned. Within minutes of finishing the meditation, I received multiple messages that led to paid opportunities. One of them brought in $100 without me even leaving my chair. What surprised me most was how the …

Hey there friend! We've all had those moments where something small happens and then suddenly you're filled with irritation, resentment, and even shame for feeling anything at all. What if the moment is really a mirror? One that reveals who you think you are…and gives you a chance to become something new? To make a new choice. And to become an alch…

Hey there friend! I had a really interesting realization while working with my horse, Abigail, the other day. I've been working with her at liberty (building a deep partnership with her based on trust and respect, where she willingly chooses to follow my guidance and stay connected to me without any equipment and such) and she taught me something v…

Hey there friend! What if peace wasn't something you had to earn by healing everything first? In this episode, I share the realization that completely shifted how I approach my own awakening journey — and the one-day challenge that helped me finally step out of the loop of constant fixing. If you've ever felt like calm is just out of reach until yo…

Hey there friend! This is a story about alignment, identity shifts, and what happens when you finally stop forcing the outcome and start becoming the version of you that already has it. In this episode, I share how wanting a camera cracked open an unexpected spiral of shame, scarcity, and self-doubt… and how reconnecting to my energy (not the outco…

Hey there friend! Today, I talk about something I've been living through: what happens when the identity you've always known starts dissolving... and you're left with stillness, overthinking, and no idea who you are anymore. I also talk about why rest feels like failure sometimes, why your nervous system might be rejecting stillness, and why this i…

Hey there friend! Today, I talk about something that recently came up that challenged me to set a boundary with people I genuinely care about. The situation itself isn't the focus. The focus is how it stirred up old energy in me...things like needing to be right, to be helpful, to fix things ASAP. It brought up guilt, anger, self-doubt, and that ol…

Hey there friend! This episode dives into the science and energy behind why certain frequencies (whether in meditation music or songs like Harry Styles' Fine Line) can create powerful physical sensations in the body. I'll talk about frisson, neural entrainment, and how sound can shift your state without needing to be in meditation. How cool is that…

Hey there friend! This is the story of my sister and me, two complete opposites who share the same spark. For years, our relationship was marked by silence, distance, and unspoken wounds. Then one conversation changed everything and opened the door to healing, compassion, and truly seeing each other. This isn't just about siblings. It's about how s…

Hey there friend! I thought I was doing everything right. The signs were flowing, the synchronicities were everywhere, and I was sure it meant the universe was delivering. But it didn't happen. And in that heartbreak, I learned something much bigger: manifestation isn't about performing, pushing, or proving. It's about softening, listening, and tru…

Hey there friend! I'm right in the middle of a big life lesson...learning to let go and trust the process (which can be wicked hard...)

I'll share the signs, the synchronicities, the backstory with my other dog Charlie, …

Hey there friend! What if the real shift from victim to creator isn't about "being fearless"… but about not leaving yourself when fear shows up?

Hey there friend! Two strangers knocked on my door today to talk about faith. What happened next turned into one of the most honest and open conversations I've had in a long time.

Hey there friend! This video is a personal reflection on the journey of becoming someone new—beyond old trauma, past identities, and the stories we've been taught to carry. I share a small moment that changed the way I walk through life (yes, it starts with trying on hiking boots), and how that led me to recognize how we often define ourselves by o…

Hey there friend! Seeing the divinity in everything doesn't mean sugarcoating pain—it means finding the light that's still flickering beneath it. It's a way of living where you meet each moment with presence, not perfection. Where even the hurt holds wisdom, and every crack is a place the Universe is letting more light through. It's not about prete…

Hey there friend! A few weeks ago, the last consistent income I had suddenly paused. And honestly...a version of me from a year ago would've spiraled. But something else showed up instead: stillness… and a strange kind of trust. Today, I talk about: How to feel what the universe is reflecting back to you Losing my job + the unexpected magic that ca…

Hey there friend! I've been exploring what happens when we stop trying so hard to get things right—and instead soften into where we are. I talk about a few examples from my own life, what's been shifting, and how I've been playing with the energy of allowing. Also, sorry for the audio quality today! I accidentally deleted the audio from my mic befo…

Hey there friend! This one's kind of a soft turning point for me. I've been playing with energy differently lately—not forcing it, not trying to manifest with all this pressure, but just letting it show me what it wants to be. And it's yielded some pretty interesting results! I talk about how slowing down has helped me feel things I didn't even kno…

Hey there friend! Today, I share a personal story of how all the inner shifts I've been making led to a surprising connection with someone who grew a YouTube channel from 0 to 800,000 subscribers.

Hey there friend! I'm so excited to share this episode with you! I feel like I've hit a new frequency. I was inspired by some resistance I was feeling. I kept asking myself, "what's here" and kept going with what I was feeling. It led me to an inspiring article by an artist I have been listening to a lot lately, which then led me to Rick Rubin's bo…

Transformation is a journey that begins with self-awareness and commitment to change. Over the past few months, I've examined my thoughts and emotions, identifying patterns that held me back.

Hey there friend! I was inspired to make this episode because of a few things that happened to me today. I finally set a life goal and it felt amazing. Then, the Universe did its thing and started to shuffle things around, which normally would've caused me to react and go into victim mode. However! I'm aware of that pattern now so I instead leaned …
