Letting two emotions exist at onceHumans have a tendency to view things on the binary; black or white, this or that. But heartbreak and beauty can coexist. So can love and grief, acceptance and desire, or stress and calm. Dive in as I discuss how empowering it can be when we allow ourselves to experience the full range of emotion - it's the beauty of being human! We are so multidimensional.

Rising from failure and disappointmentFacing failure and disappointment in our lives is inevitable, so on this week's episode (suggested by listener Emily H.!) let's discuss how we can move through the feelings of disappointment when our expectations aren't met, build resilience, and ultimately redirect our mindset around failure. I introduce the concept of radical acceptance, discuss components surrounding resilience building, and chat about my personal views on what I like to call a "Win-Win Mindset" in regards to expectation setting.

Regulating your nervous systemIf you are dealing with symptoms like mood and/or hormonal imbalances, poor sleep, bloating, chronic anxiety & depression, menstrual cycle abnormality, your nervous system may be in a state of dysregulation. How does this happen, and how can we fix it? Sometimes, after a traumatic event, big life change, or period of prolonged stress, our body can get stuck in its fight or flight response, and this leads our body to de-prioritize vital systems like our digestive, immune, and reproductive systems. It takes time to get dysregulated, but with time, patience, and proper care we can restore our nervous...2024-01-0335 minEverything Works Out For Us13. Balancing our feminine & masculine energiesFeminine & masculine (or yin & yang) energies are two polarities that live in everyone, regardless of the gender you identify as. We tend to have an energy that is more prominent. Join me this week as I discuss not only how to balance our energies, but as I share my thoughts on wanting to step more into my divine feminine.
Leading with your divine feminine energy is slowing down, allowing, and being. Connecting with your intuition, feeling, and trusting. If we want others to take the lead sometimes, we must give them room to do so.

-Healthy goal setting that brings us fulfillment while allowing room for unexpected opportunities
-Rigid life planning that blocks any other plan the universe might have for us and skipping the joy of the journey along the way
If you don't reach your goal...will you be okay? Can you die happy? If the answer is no, it may be time to restructure your goal. Can you make your goal about the feeling along the way rather than the...2024-01-0329 minEverything Works Out For Us14. Benefits of journalingThose who know me know I've always been a big journaler...so today I'm here to share the psychological and spiritual benefits of prioritizing a journaling practice! Inspired by Julia Cameron's "Morning Pages", journaling reaps benefits from enhancing creativity, promoting emotional intelligence, reducing distress & illness, and so much more.

Protecting and cleansing your energyProtecting our own energy is both scientifically and spiritually necessary to maintain the happiest and healthiest versions of ourselves. In such an overstimulating world, there are many outside sources in which our energy can get drained. In this week's episode I discuss protecting ourselves from energy vampires and what to do when you need a good energy cleanse. From sage burning to crystal healing to water cleansing, there are lots of things we can do to recharge our own energy fields - and yes, there's a science behind all this as well!

Things aren't going as planned and the temptation to complain is higher than ever. Without judging yourself for being in a lower vibrational state than you'd like, let's get curious about it! Negativity spirals are easy to fall into, especially when we're living in a hypervigilant state. In this week's episode I dive into new coping mechanisms we can lean on to re-regulate ourselves such as thought redirection, vagus nerve stimulation, and open communication with trusted loved ones to find new perspectives. A funk is just that - funky, uncomfortable, annoying - but in...2023-07-2619 minEverything Works Out For Us9. Freeing ourselves from judgmentJudgment in our society is at an all-time high. If you find yourself being frequently judgmental, you're not alone. But what if we redirected the energy we're using on judging others and ourselves and channeled it into love? Certain judgment may protect us from danger from an evolutionary standpoint, but this week I focus on how we can redirect the energy we use to judge that doesn't serve us. Join me as I encourage us become more curious about our judgmental patterns. Freedom lies in acceptance of simply what is.

Redefining productivity culture in order to restProductivity and hustle culture, "grind or go home", I'm assuming you're all too familiar? In this week's episode I unpack why overworking ourselves can be toxic. If you feel guilty for resting, saying 'no', or taking time for yourself, you're not alone. But human bodies were indeed designed to rest, and relaxing is not something that we have to earn! When we're aligned with ourselves and our bodies, when we're rested, recuperated, and wholehearted, we end up being MORE productive in the long run. You can't pour into other people's cups if your cup is empty.

But our need to control and our difficulty with detaching stems from fear rooted in the ego. While it's natural to resist change, beautiful and joyful new experiences and relationships are waiting to come into our lives - however, it's our job to make space for them. In this episode I discuss the psychology behind control, attachment, and resistance towards letting go, and how we can move through this resistance to find peace with the unknown. Through some of my favorite metaphors, I share that...2023-06-2137 minEverything Works Out For Us5. Stopping unhealthy comparisons to focus on YOUR journeyWe're human, so we mindlessly scroll on social media, comparing ourselves to others seemingly happier, cooler, richer, more talented, you name it. But we can stop this self-esteem lowering cycle before it starts when we focus our energy on US, our own happiness, and reaching for support from healthy role models. On this week's episode (suggested by listener Kevin K.!), I dive into the psychology of comparison, the detriments of jealousy, and how we can reclaim our power by consciously choosing to define our own success and happiness.

Asking for signs from the universeWhen asked directly and rooted in the highest intentions, receiving signs from the universe can be an ultimate form of surrender, trust, and guidance.

I cover how exactly we can ask for and receive signs, and I share some brief symbolism behind angel numbers as well.

Embracing being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)Have you always been told that 'you're too sensitive'? Well there's a scientific term for that; you may be a Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP for short! On this week's episode we discuss psychologist Elaine Aron's research on the neurotypical 15-20% of the population that are classified as highly sensitive individuals. If you relate to traits such as:
Being extremely empathetic and easily affected by others' moods
Being deeply moved by art and beauty
Being overwhelmed easily by loud noises, large crowds, bright lights, or uncomfortable clothing

Toxic positivity culture vs genuine optimismToxic positivity culture, while rooted in good intentions, actually does far more harm than good. In this week's episode I unpack the differences between toxic positivity and genuine optimism, discuss the psychology behind our negative thought patterns, and suggest ways to lean into a more authentic positive mindset through empathetic connection building. I also uncover the psychological benefits to utilizing positive affirmation trains, while giving tips on how to craft affirmations that feel right for you. There is so much power behind positivity - but a safe, happy, and authentic environment can only be fostered through empathy.
