We have to have hope in something to know what we are fighting for, especially when the going gets tough (and boy is it tough currently).

Once you heal enough to learn how to choose yourself, knowing when to let go and surrender is pivotal but it is NOT easy and not enough people talk about how painful and challenging it can be.This episode is designed for those who have struggled with using control as a coping mechanism or have historically had trouble letting go of people, places and patterns that no longer align causing many of us to settle, sometimes unknowingly because we convince ourselves it’s what we want when really we’ve just become comfortable in it. Change is hard. Let’s crash out, heal and evolve together.As a reminder, I am in the process of creating offerings and building community for my fellow heart-led folks who are looking for deeper connections and aligned communities.

This podcast may contain triggering themes related to childhood trauma and abuse.**TRIGGER WARNING** This video/podcast episode discusses sexual assault, sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse. If you are in a crisis please skip!This episode was very hard for me and I apologize in advance if it’s a bit hard to follow as I was disassociated for a lot of it. I meant to share more but it’s hard for me to share in depth about my sexual trauma. I’m sharing my thoughts, feelings and experiences in hopes that other survivors of sexual assault or abuse know that they are not alone.Currently the news cycle is riddled with stories about Epstein and the stories of victims are not being centered. This is a very triggering time for anyone who has experienced sexual abuse and I want you to know that prioritizing self care and finding support is SO important right now. I really hope this feels like a safe space for those of you on this healing journey with me.

Everything shared here is from my lived experience as someone previously diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, and Complex Trauma (CPTSD). This podcast may contain triggering themes related to childhood trauma and abuse.In this episode I get very real about the heavy emotions coming up at this time. I know a lot of people are struggling both personally and collectively and I encourage us all to drop the mask and get real about what we feel so that we can find our people and get the support we need to move forward. Mid-way through the podcast episode I experience mood swings and I felt it was important to not omit those parts because I want to show the reality of life with BPD and complex trauma. I’m honestly proud of how far I’ve come in this journey. My episodes used to be significantly worse and now I can snap back into stability more quickly than I’ve ever been able to in the past. A reminder that healing isn’t linear but it is possible. Sending love to everyone struggling at this time!

Everything shared here is from my lived experience as someone previously diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, and Complex Trauma (CPTSD). This episode may be triggering or include sensitive topics like childhood trauma and abuse. I get very honest about my disdain for men stemming from childhood trauma and how it’s impacted my relationship with myself and men as a whole. I am actively unlearning and reprogramming my mind to adapt more loving and empathetic viewpoints toward men but to say this is a process and I struggle A LOT with this would be a massive understatement. This is not coming from the perspective of someone who has overcome this rather someone who recognizes the pattern and acknowledges where something needs to shift within myself. This is in NO WAY condoning or denying the significant harm and abuse many women go through at the hands of man but instead offering solace to those who may also struggle with this and want to find a healthier way to be in community with ALL human beings.

I’m navigating the contrasts of life moment by moment. This episode shares how much I’ve learned about myself beyond the brokenness and pain I’d identified with for so long. In short this episode focuses on why YOU ARE NOT YOUR PAIN and how traditional western systems often reinforce this lie. You are sensitive and that’s okay. I truly hope and pray this reaches who it needs to reach. You all deserve to feel empowered, love and accepted for who you are.

This episode I discuss emotional processing and how I’m learning to fully process and move through all of my emotions, particularly during this time of collective overwhelm, anxiety, and frustration. I touch on the importance of incorporating somatic work and how to avoid overanalyzing emotions but rather allow yourself to fully feel them so they can move through. My hope is that we can learn, heal, and grow together.
In the coming weeks/months I will be hosting in-person healing events focused on bringing BIPOC, feminine energies etc. together to grow, connect, and heal together! More to come.

This episode I share my reflections on current events including the LA Wildfires. Below I’ve copied a link to my Substack newsletter which features a list of resources for those directly impacted. If you’re seeking resources or if you’d just like to get involved I encourage you to check it out. I am sending so much love to those affected. I truly hope this episode and the resources provide some comfort and hope for you all during this time.
2025 is already off to a rough start and many are overwhelmed with issues related to climate change and extreme weather, political concerns, financial strain, mental and physical health challenges and more. I truly believe this is a time for us to come together. I hope this podcast can serve as a catalyst for healing and deeper connection that encourages you to get into community and be part of the solution. We can get through these challenges together!
