This episode is like a quiet, cozy conversation, the kind that happens when people forget they're recording and just tell the truth. Summer sits down with Chanelle Sillifant, Coco, who many listeners may recognize as the photographer from Summer's recent Mexico retreat. What unfolds is a deeply candid exchange. Coco shares a heartfelt story she has never shared publicly before, and in response, Summer finds herself doing something she hadn't planned — sharing something she had once meant to tell Coco, but previously held back, live on air. Together, they explore what happens when we stop trying to look a certain way and allow ourselves to be felt instead. Coco reflects on how photography became a doorway into embodiment, self-acceptance, and reconnecting with parts of herself that were once hidden away. The conversation moves gently through themes of bodies, aging, confidence, and the quiet bravery it takes to be seen as you are.

Gratitude isn't just a practice — it's a frequency we step into. In this guided meditation, Summer shows how even the smallest moment of appreciation can shift you out of stress, overwhelm, and survival mode and into openness, intuition, and receiving.

Today's episode is a gentle meditation to help you move inward, ground your energy, and receive clarity around a recent moment of miscommunication or misunderstanding.

In this soulful conversation, Summer sits down with intuitive business coach and Holy Fire Reiki practitioner Olivia Bowen to explore the sacred connection between entrepreneurship, energy, and spirit.

This week, I'm taking you on a journey through Italy — not just the pasta and pastries (though there were plenty of those), but the deep, soul-shifting kind of transformation that happens when you say yes to yourself. I'm sharing how Italy became a mirror for my own evolution, why retreats are one of the fastest ways to shift timelines, and how a goddess-inspired photoshoot helped me reconnect with my sensuality and divine feminine energy — postpartum body and all.

We talk about following the breadcrumbs, trusting your timing (even if it looks like procrastination), and learning to let your intuition lead — in business and in life. If you've ever felt multi-passionate, in transition, or unsure what's next, this one's for you.
