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 completely unfiltered, beautiful experience and it inspired me to start having my own. I also share what I’m discovering about entraining my nervous system, letting go of performance, and learning to love without needing anything in return. I’m starting to just be… instead of always trying to be seen.
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 universe didn’t just bring money. It brought healing. I had to face something that used to give me major panic attacks, and I had to do it SIX TIMES! And I was paid to do it! I also talk about how my meditation experiences have been shifting lately. Some have felt more intense, and others leave me with this strange sense of emptiness in my head. I’ve come to realize that this might be part of the awakening process. It feels like something old is being cleared out to make space for whatever comes next.
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 alchemist in the moment. Growth doesn’t happen when things go perfectly...it happens when we stop outsourcing our peace to what other people do.
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 valuable about myself. And I wanted to share that lesson with you! I've been feeling kinda stuck, even while trying to do all the "right" things...and this insight might be the piece I've been missing.
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 you “do more,” this one is for you. We’ll talk about the nervous system, emotional pattern rewiring, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s teachings, and why peace might be closer than you think.
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 outcome) changed everything. From synchronicities stacking up, to a surprise donation, to a moment with my horse that mirrored it all… this isn’t a story about manifesting something. It’s a story about you and how the field responds when you choose to trust your new signal.
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 identity revolution you’re going through is actually you becoming more light.
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 old need for validation that I’ve been working so hard to unhook from.
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! In this video, I explore how tuning your energy through meditation, specifically Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Blessing of the Energy Centers, can lead to real, physical changes in your voice and overall presence. Backed by science and my own personal experience, we’ll look at how nervous system coherence impacts the way you sound, feel, and show up in the world.
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 self-love creates space for connection, how healing doesn’t always look the way we were taught, and how the real magic happens when we allow ourselves to be raw, messy, and real.
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 trusting the deeper timing of life. In this episode, I share the real lesson I learned when what I wanted didn’t work out—and why sometimes the greatest answered prayer is redirection.
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...) This is the story of a puppy named Harry… and how he’s helping me practice one of the hardest parts of manifestation: letting go. I’ll share the signs, the synchronicities, the backstory with my other dog Charlie, and the exact moment I decided to stop controlling the outcome and trust the universe to bring me what’s meant for me...whether it’s Harry or another pup. This whole thing isn't just about a dog, this is about holding a desire without trying to overpower it, to follow the breadcrumbs without demanding the outcome, and to remember that if it’s meant for you, it will always find you. This is one of two episodes where I cover the process I went through and what happened after!
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? In this episode, I share how staying with myself in hard moments has completely changed my life, why it’s the key to creating instead of complaining, and how it opens the door for the universe to give you more.
I finally faced one of my biggest fears — crossing the Parkway bridge. In this episode, I share how not abandoning myself gave me the courage to do it, what I learned in the process, and how this one moment is changing the way I live my life.
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. I shared my belief that healing the world starts with healing ourselves. I talked about Big Dog—the name I use for the Universe—and how I believe our inner world shapes everything we see on the outside. They listened. They really listened. This episode explores how we hold space for our truth without needing to be right, how to stand in what we believe with presence (not defense), and how small interactions can sometimes be the most significant proof that our healing is working.
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 our pain instead of possibility. Through insights from Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza, and a powerful story shared by Johann Hari, I explore how healing sometimes means changing context, not just chemistry. And how the universe isn’t punishing us—it’s mirroring us.
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 pretending it’s all good… it’s about knowing it’s all becoming.
Hey there friend! I have been going back and forth on how I want to show up in the world now. I considered pausing making episodes and such. However...I got a message this morning that told me I needed to keep going. So...here I am!
