Description

Welcome to Season 1 of Burn It Down—and damn, it feels good to be back. After a year off, I’m relaunching this podcast with a fire in my belly and a whole new lens on life.

In this premiere episode, I’m sharing the truth about what’s gone down since I last hit record: losing our baby, rebuilding my identity back in small-town Ontario, and burning down the boxes I’ve been living in.

I talk about what it’s been like to step away from the glossy “spiritual” paradise life, to finally call out the bypassing and BS in the coaching/wellness world, and to lean back into the skills I’ve always had—media, storytelling, branding, design.

This episode is part personal update, part manifesto, and part invitation. If you’ve ever outgrown your old identity, questioned the spiritual hamster wheel, or wondered what it means to live beyond the performance of healing… you’re in the right place.

Burn It Down isn’t about chaos—it’s about rebirth. Burning down the false, the toxic, and the misaligned so we can rise from the ashes more true than before.
