Slowly but surely: that is the motto for the beginnings of a new year. At a time where the world tells us that it’s the time to be brand new - while all we yearn for is stillness, how do we find reconciliation between setting intentions + and moving with the slow beat our body may crave during the winter-time? This episode is another breath away from all of the noise around needing to be someone else, go somewhere else, and turn your life into something else as we transition into the new year. It is a testament to the power of intention, presence, and surrender — embracing patience, moving intuitively, and taking it one step at a time. On this episode, I discuss the concept of a Winter Arc: a time where we use the coldest, darkest, shortest days of the year to refocus and reground ourselves so that we can bloom when it is time. I give you a guide into the simple daily rituals that ground me and allow life to be a sacred act that is created by every movement and choice, rather than a list of resolutions to accomplish and a new person to become. After all, breathing life into a new year requires that we have the patience to take a full breath. x IF YOU ARE A FREQUENT LISTENER OF FSO, RATE THE SHOW ON YOUR PREFERRED STREAMING PLATFORM!

May you gift yourself the purity of rest and the peace of pause. May you allow this year to leave you and the new one to form with grace, ease, and patience.

This episode is for anyone considering changing their life-path: leaving a job, moving cities or countries, changing who they surround themselves with, starting a business, leaving a relationship - ending a chapter & beginning a new one. For anyone who finds themselves teetering at the edge of a cliff - knowing that they want to take a leap, knowing they feel called to close a door to open a new one, but is scared of what's on the other side, who is scared of free-falling. I've been there. And this episode is something I wish I would've had when I was there. It's been two months since I leaped off that cliff, and I've learned a lot in the process. Sometimes, our lives change in the matter of a moment without our input. And somehow, everything does work out. But other times, we have to be the ones to make the decision, to look fear in the eye, and boldly say "I want more for my life," and co-create with a universal intelligence to give ourselves that. Sometimes, we have to trust that everything will work out while also being the force that changes our own lives. On this episode, we're talking about the fine line between trusting yourself, facing your fear, & the practical steps necessary to set yourself up well for a big life-change while also having faith in the divine + surrendering to the process. We're not leaping blindly off the cliff and free-falling into the unknown (that works for some people, but not most of us) -- we're walking up to the edge with our heads high & creating the necessary relationship with ourselves and with life to trust that when we decide to jump, there is a net to catch us.

We hear it in the wellness space all the time: “Trauma is stored in the body,” but what does this actually mean? And what are the different modalities to heal it? In this episode, I sit down with an inspiring & intuitive-led expert on this topic to cover: How emotional pain gets stuck & stored in the body & why it’s so hard to unlearn bad habits + toxic patterns (AKA: why is it so much harder to expect happiness than it is to expect pain?) What it means to live in alignment and be free of the burden of worry and pain What the energetic body is & how to release through Movement + Kriya Yoga (&What is Kriya Yoga) How Fear Blocks us + Love Unlocks us From the moment I met Samten Kriya, I was awe-struck by her incredible ability to be so unapologetically herself, command a room with such power, yet still speak directly from her heart and maintain an air of kindness. She was one of my teachers during my 3 week stay at House of Om Bali, where I did my Yoga Teacher Training while on my journey in Southeast Asia. Samten is one of the few Kriya Yoga teachers in the world - focusing on expressive somatic movement to heal trauma and unleash the “True You” underneath pain, societal conditioning, and subconscious programming. In Kriya, there are “knots” in the body - energetic and physical tightenings that are formed during traumatic and emotional life experiences that can only be released and resolved with movement. When we we live in the subsconcious stories that keep us stuck in our pain, we habitually reinforce these knots of pain when. Kriya is a modality of somatic movement to release energy & align yourself with who you really are. Intuitively inclined from an early age, Samten was taught by a Guru in the Himalayas after studying and teaching Hatha Yoga for several years, living in Yoga Ashrams, and studying Tibetan Buddhism. She holds a wide-range of knowledge about the body - both physically and energetically and an articulate and expressive tongue to spread her knowledge with the world.

As the holiday season rolls around, many of us who are on a journey of healing are visited by triggers, past pain, and heavy emotions. The first visitor in our internal world is usually Anger. It is best friends with Pride & usually sounds like: “Why is is this way? Why did that have to happen? Why couldn’t you have…” + It is often paired with actions towards others that are uninhibited from showing that we still pain. It is silent, passive, and quite poisonous to our hearts. Anger & Pride make a bed for Resentment to sleep comfortably in - and all that resentment does is keep us away from the door to our healing. The doorway to our hearts becomes poisoned. While they are hard, these emotions and triggers are tests and challenges of our willingness to stay present with ourselves and commitment to growth during heavy times. Can you peak under the hood of all that anger, pride, resentment, pain — and hold space for what’s underneath it? Can you consciously decide to continue your journey, in the face of what may have led you on it in the first place? Can you show up for the inner child you’ve worked so hard to recognize + validate? And can you do it with love? I recorded this episode back in June, before The Road Less Traveled kicked off - but as I felt into my experience this past week which always seems to mirror the collective, I felt that some words and reminders on navigating hard family dynamics were needed. THIS EPISODE IS AVAILABLE IN VIDEO! WATCH HERE: https://youtu.be/gy4Be6Bk9mk In this episode, I cover how Anger + Pride keep us from healing, what self-abandonment looks like & how to spot it, and reminders on what to do when the heart wants to close.

This week, I broke my arm. Yes, I recorded this podcast episode with a broken arm. And edited it. And I am typing this now with one hand. You get the point. I felt it necessary to interrupt the regularly scheduled programming of the Road Less Traveled to talk about what to do when there are the inevitable bumps in the road. How do we respond? How do we not spiral? How do we.. reverse a spiral (if we may have found ourselves in one)? Sh!t happens -- and it's supposed to -- it wouldn't be life if it didn't deeply humble us at times. But how can we learn to surrender and let life be our teacher, even & especially when things just may be falling apart a little? In my one-armed determination to answer this question as life presented me with my own brand new challenge, I created a step-by-step framework for you to walk yourself through to the other side when to the light when you find yourself in some darkness/ It is based on the premise that pain is inevitable - pain is our teacher - pain is a necessary opposite to the sweetest joy. But in most instances, suffering is a choice. And it is not something that helps us, nor is it something we have to do.

We've all heard of Yoga, but what actually is it? And how can you translate ancient knowledge into a modern tool to help you live and lead your life whilst paying homage to its roots? How can it help you break free of what you "think" you should be? In this episode, we answer those questions. The first guest of The Road Less Traveled Series is a 22-year old, vibrant yogi from New York with an old soul who transitioned from a touring musician's life to a nomadic and mindful existence. Etai's story is fueled by a love for sharing wisdom and a deep union with his own uniqueness. His perspective challenges stereotypes around yoga and how to make it an accessible tool that goes beyond physical postures and stands as a pathway to self-expression and authenticity. Even if you've never practiced yoga before or don't care for it - this conversation is rich with breaking free of societal norms and finding empowerment in embracing change. We weave into and out of the spiritual roots of this tradition and navigate the commercialization of wellness and we discuss what it actually means to us to liberate ourselves from external validation and go forth into our Road Less Traveled.

Sit down & grab your popcorn - because this episode is different than any other on Figuring Sh!t Out: Today is Story-Time. I am taking you on an honest journey through the last nine months -- from agreeing to run a Marathon in Paris, France (26.2 miles, 42 km) to all of the mental, emotional, and spiritual training that led me and my body to ultimately cross the finish line. While this was a physical challenge - the physical capability paled in comparison to all of the limits that I had to personally release to feel ready to do this. All that has been discussed on Figuring Sh!t Out up until this point has culminated to this moment -- where I put my mind, heart, soul, spirit, body, and divine connection to the test. This has felt like a research project where the findings weren't ready to be presented until the test was finished. & I can in fact confirm: Fear is an Illusion - Decide to not let it in or let it matter & it won't You are Greater and more powerful than Your Mind, Your Limits, and Your Conditions You will have to trade your old life for your new one, and you will be glad that you did Visualizing a Future State in Meditation Works (Actually WORKS) To Create A Desired State Progress is Not Linear - and Neither is Time The Present Moment is Eternal & Is the Portal to Peace, Truth, and Spiritual Guidance Your Intuition is Your Greatest Guide - Fear + Doubt are Blockers to It A Desire to Control is always from the Ego Your Heart is the Portal to Everything Love is The Highest Vibration Challenge is Your Wisest Teacher All of the above will be divulged in fullness over the course of this season - but today: I ran a Marathon in Paris - and here is my story.

When our lives begin to brim with chaos, when we are facing deadlines and urgency and getting ready for life's momentous next moments, we often feel endlessly confused, as if there is an incessant thought-loop that never ceases to let us know that we will never have the answers. These are the moments when we need breath, perspective, and patience. Knowing that there is an older, wiser version of ourselves holding our hands as we rise and fall through this life, and in the panorama of our confusion - there is the beauty of experience embedded into everything we have yet to know. In the shortest episode to date of Figuring Sh!t Out, I give you context into the background of my life recently and share about my own journey regaining perspective, reflecting on how far FSO has come since it was created. This podcast has become the space where I meet my higher self. I get on this microphone and I always find more clarity than I had before. I thank you for being alongside me as we go on the endless journey of Figuring Sh!t Out, realizing again and again that to "figure" anything out - was never the point at all.

Some things I am learning: 1 - How to normalize the flux of knowing, then not knowing, and realizing that you never really knew anything at all. 2 - How to accept the wavering feelings of complete clear-hearted confidence followed by the indescribable uncertainty + fear of "am i doing anything right" 3 - The bliss and simplicity of the inevitable rediscovery of our childhood self as the pathway to all that we are and all that we will become. 4 - That we heal not to deal with our pain, but to learn how to accept our joy. + All the rest in this episode.

Productivity that feels nourishing is rare these days. When quantity out-rules quality, we feel burnt out by the pressure to produce. The tendency to put things off, look to our left and see something "better," and silently stay in our chamber of consumption, rather than creation is far too pervasive in today's age. So, how do we actually equip ourselves to separate what we want to do from what we "have" to do, create from a place of empowerment, and share our magic with the world? How do we resist the hustle-culture that leads to burnout while also being honest with ourselves about if we're showing up in a way that aligns with our highest self? On this episode, we take a look at the psychology of perfectionism and discuss ways to overcome the subconscious beliefs and patterns that keep us frozen. Through actionable steps and a mindset shift, we can slowly take aligned action in the every day to set our own standard for success, and silence the inner critic. (A very fun exercise is included to identify this voice + overcome it!!)

This episode is for those who have felt, at any point, like they are "too much." To dim the beautiful bright light in your being to be palatable and digestible for others is an indiscretion to your soul. We must resist the urge to give into cynicism and nihilism and embrace that life CAN be beautiful, love IS that good, and that we ARE meant to live in joy and trust that flow will guide us. During this episode, we go on a journey of understanding where cynicism and projection comes from, why we prioritize people pleasing over our own personal power, and what happens when we decide to live rooted in ourselves and connected to our joy. Life is too short to not believe that it can also be sweet. We talk: 0:00 - 5:09 - The Psychology of Cynicism + Projection 5:15 - 9:08 - The Negative Impacts of Dimming Your Light 9:08 - 13:01 - Why Animals + Children are Magnets for Attention & Joy 13:01 - 16:00 - The "OF COURSE THEY ARE!"

"You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body - love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things."

At some point in our lives, we may find ourselves bending and folding ourselves into shapes that are not our own in an exhausting effort to fit in, conform, and get our return on the illusion we bought that told us we'd be happy if we just "did what we were supposed to do." And too often, when this formula doesn't work for us - we exile ourselves and internalize the confusion of being confused. We may wonder why we haven’t gotten it right, why we feel so misunderstood. What we fail to acknowledge is -- that while we try to contort ourselves into a glass half empty - our unique desires, impulses, and dreams are waiting for us to fill our glass full. Have you ever considered that maybe your life is asking of you something so unique, so particular, and so idiosyncratic to your own individual idiosyncrasies - that only you can hear the call and only you can take the action? This episode discusses the art of authentic living & the process of embracing our individuality - along with the challenges that come with outgrowing people, places, and things that may have once felt like home. There are many choices we can make in this world, but the one I can almost promise you will never regret making is choosing yourself. To choose yourself, you must learn yourself, know yourself, trust yourself - and honor the individual expression that calls in a voice only you can hear. I believe you have what it takes to do so. xx V -- <3 IF YOU LOVE TO LISTEN TO FSO, PLZ RATE THE PODCAST ON YOUR PREFERRED STREAMING PLATFORM + LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS EPISODE <3 CHAPTERS: 0:00-10:25 - You’re not wrong, Maybe you’re just in the wrong place + A reading from "Women who Run with the Wolves," Passage: The Ugly Duckling 10:25 - FOMO isn’t Real - The Price of False Illusions of Happiness 15:58 - Outgrowing what You Once Loved, Learning About + Honoring Your Individual Differences 19:10 - Wanting MORE for your Life + Feeling Deserving Of It 20:47 - Paralyzed by Indecision?
