The Sovereign Heart Podcast50. Non-Monogamy Wasn't The Plan - But It Was The PortalIn this episode I peel back the layers of what non-monogamy is and how I came into this journey many years ago. The 50th episode, I felt, was the perfect time to get a little more vulnerable and talk about how radical of a shift non-monogamy is once it's "on the table". It not only opened my eyes to a world where you aren't punished for expressing your desires, but fueled my curiosity to explore what a relationship could be defined as. This isn't just having your cake and eating it too, but a new way of relating to...2025-06-2545 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast49. New Earth Relationships & The Evolution of Non-Monogamy in the Digital EraIn this episode of The Sovereign Heart Podcast, I am joined by my partner Keegan for a late-night conversation recorded as thunderstorms rolled in — with our microphone jerry-rigged to a spatula and hearts wide open.Together, we explore how the rise of non-monogamy is deeply intertwined with the digital age, what it means to detox from domination-based love scripts, and why this relational shift may be part of the broader ascension process. With tenderness, humor, and depth, we unpack what it means to love from sovereignty — not obligation.In this...2025-06-1159 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast48. Feeling Good Is Your BirthrightToday’s episode is a reminder and a reclamation: feeling good is your birthright. Not some fluke or privilege reserved for a lucky few—it's something we get to practice, consciously, every day. Whether you're naturally joyful or have to work for every breath of peace, the truth remains: you can build a reputation with yourself that says, I know how to return to feeling good. This episode weaves in teachings from The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden and walks you through a simple but powerful practice I call the High Vibe Bracelet. It’s a somatic way to...2025-05-2824 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast47. When Hyper-awareness Hijacks IntimacyIn this episode of The Sovereign Heart Podcast, we dive into the often unspoken shadow side of conscious relationships—the moment when all of our beautiful tools, frameworks, and psychological insight start to get in the way of actual connection. If you’ve ever found yourself becoming the “secure attachment hall monitor” or the “I-statement police,” this one’s for you. Our devotion to doing relationship “right” can become its own trap—turning real-time intimacy into a checklist and pathologizing genuine human moments through the lens of theory. I’ve been there. I’ve done it. And what I’ve learned is tha...2025-05-1424 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast46. Parts Work - Your Inner ConstellationIn this episode, I’m getting real about parts work, a game-changing practice straight out of Jungian psychology and badass modalities like Internal Family Systems and Gestalt (Gesh-tall-t) therapy. It’s all about embracing the dazzling inner constellation of sub-personalities—you know, that part that’s all-in for love, wrestling with the part that’s side-eyeing trust. I’ve learned there’s no "broken" in anyone, just a vibrant mosaic of emotions, roles, and wisdom. Whether you're chatting with your inner child, feeling the vibes in your low belly, or switching chairs to embody your parts, I’m on a mission to hel...2025-04-3019 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast45. Embodied LeadershipIn this episode of the Sovereign Heart Podcast, we dive into the essence of embodied leadership. We challenge the idea that leadership hinges on extensive certifications or external validation, focusing instead on the strength of leading from an authentic, internal space. We define embodied leadership as our collective courage to bring our inner practices, values, and lived experiences into any leadership role, whether guiding one person or a large group. Sharing stories, like when we set clear boundaries or express ourselves freely, which inspire others and reinforce our leadership approach. We encourage each other to...2025-04-3009 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast44.

Integrity Is The New CurrencyWelcome to the Sovereign Heart Podcast. In today's episode, we explore the concept of integrity as the new currency in relationships and personal interactions. We discuss how societal values are shifting from traditional, transactional views of relationships—focused on security and material exchange—toward a paradigm where integrity, defined as a state of wholeness and authenticity, is becoming the most valuable asset.This shift reflects a move away from relationships based on necessity to ones rooted in desire for genuine connection, love, and personal fulfillment. It's my belief that maintaining integrity, especially while navigating polyamory or non-monogamy, requ...2025-03-1935 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast42. It Is Safe to Feel UnsafeGreetings everyone,In this weeks podcast, I advocate for embracing uncertainty by recognizing that "it is safe to feel unsafe," especially as traditional systems crumble and global events create instability. It's important to rely on your internal systems, like intuition and critical thinking, over flawed external structures, and I encourage you to question established beliefs and cultivate resilience. I propose that love, both self-love and love for others, is the foundation for creating new, compassionate systems, and that current global challenges present an opportunity to build a world based on love rather than fear and...2025-03-0533 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast41. The Most Deceptively Simple Habit for Thriving Long Term RelationshipsIn this episode we explore building thriving relationships through trust, clear communication, and faith in the unknown. We focus on the deceptively simple habit of consistently focusing on what is already working in a relationship. This practice, especially crucial in long-term relationships, builds a strong foundation of safety, ease, and connection, making it easier to navigate inevitable conflicts, traumas, and triggers. By focusing on the positive aspects and creating rituals around connection (like hugging, kissing, or expressing gratitude), couples can establish a "safety net" to fall back on during difficult times. This foundation allows for...2025-02-1932 minThe Sovereign Heart Podcast40. Becoming Your Own Best LoverHello beautiful heart-centered beings!
In this episode of the Sovereign Heart podcast, we explore the concept of self-love as the foundation for fulfilling relationships.

I emphasize the importance of prioritizing tasks realistically, lowering unrealistic expectations, and practicing self-compassion.
By choosing a few crucial tasks and acknowledging what you're not prioritizing, you can reduce overwhelm. Setting achievable goals and focusing on small steps builds confidence and prevents self-criticism.
Finally, treating yourself with kindness and understanding during stressful times, including prioritizing rest, is crucial for maintaining well-being and navigating challenges with greater ease and resilience.

Kick These 4 Bad Communication Habits in 2025For today's podcast, we focus on improving communication in relationships by addressing the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" identified by Dr. John Gottman: criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. There is an emphasis on the importance of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a willingness to learn and grow as individuals and as a couple. Key strategies include focusing on specific behaviors rather than personal attacks, avoiding defensiveness by practicing self-regulation and cultivating an observer mindset, expressing respect and kindness, and taking breaks when needed during difficult conversations.

Sexy AF BoundariesIn this episode we discuss the importance of boundaries in relationships.
It's important to know that boundaries are not about control or restriction, but rather about self-awareness and respect. Healthy boundaries balance allowing input and output, avoiding both over-giving and under-giving.
Porous boundaries can lead to a loss of self, while rigid boundaries can lead to isolation.
Strategies for healthy boundaries include mindful awareness, self-care, open communication, and collaboration with partners.
By understanding and implementing healthy boundaries, individuals can foster deeper, more fulfilling relationships.

Embodiment is the practice of fully inhabiting one's body, connecting mind, body, and spirit. It involves tuning into sensations, emotions, and thoughts, and responding with awareness and intention. By cultivating embodiment, we can access deeper levels of self-awareness, reduce stress, enhance creativity, and improve overall well-being.
