What I’m loving right now isn’t dramatic or lofty (although I did use the word "glorious at multiple points in this episode 🙃). It’s practical, pleasurable, stabilizing, and unexpectedly dignifying. I share the everyday self-care practices, tools, and choices that are genuinely working for me right now—from mental health support and money decisions to music and embodiment—and why noticing these small loves can be one of the most honest forms of self-respect. No sponsorships. No agenda. Just real experience, real enjoyment, and a grounded reminder that the point of life is to enjoy it. This is my heaven on earth lately.

Here's 7 things I cover in this episode:

1. The Finch app and how care, rewards, play, and inner-child support help with my executive dysfunction, especially when goals feel hard or mundane (Btw, my friend code is CNLPF24ZLY. Add me!). I also share tips from Atomic Habits to make the most of this app.
2. The Teledipity app and why predictions done right are grounding rather than hope pandering
3. Pleasure and embodiment through nail polish, nourishment of protein, and seeing tangible results, especially as a vegetarian
4. Olivia Dean as the musical embodiment of my word of the year—love—and why I don’t completely hate the algorithm
5. Spotify audiobooks and subscriptions as real value for money, while holding the tension of not wanting to support the company anymore
6. Mature self-care with money through Capital One CDs and choosing ease over financial overwhelm
7. The dignity of competent, heart-open care, and why I’ll drive hours for a vet who truly shows up

Today I share the unexpected reckoning that emerged after being laid off from a tech career I’d held for years — a moment that gently unraveled my relationship to work, identity, feminism, and home. What began as job loss became something more paradoxical: a growing pull toward India, the very place I once worked so hard to escape. Drawing from philosophy, lived experience, and the tension between the personal and the political, I sit with what it means to consider moving back to India after 20 years in the US — without certainty, without resolution, and without forcing clarity. This episode is also for anyone considering moving back to their home country after years abroad — navigating reverse migration, expat return, and the strange identity shifts that come with it.

Here’s what I explore in this episode:

1. Philosophical reflections on paradox, reckoning, homecoming, and why the personal is always political
2. Fear, safety, feminism, and the embodied realities of considering life in India as a woman
3. The weight that comes from moral proximity or the witness burden. Living without insulation (or gentrification), where the suffering isn’t abstract anymore. It’s right in front of you

"(A transplant is) .....a person who moves to a place, and then they try to make that place just like the place they left" - Yellowstone, Kaycee Dutton defines a transplant to his son Tate

This episode is part of the In the Mystery series, where I speak from the messy middle of becoming, trusting intuition, spiritual discernment, and dignity when the path forward doesn’t yet make sense.

Empowered women are rarely catered to, and life after empowerment or awakening is an underserved experience, especially for women. Many expect the path of empowerment to be easier, happier, or universally celebrated, only to encounter discouragement so intense that it can make them stop themselves from fully embracing their power. This episode explores the hidden struggles of empowered women — feelings of isolation, misunderstanding, anger, not enough-ness, loneliness, and unhappiness even amid success — while tuning into the energy of prosperity. Here's what's in this episode:

1. What classifies a woman as empowered and why life after empowerment is rarely acknowledged or supported
2. The six core battles empowered women face — sense of self, anger, corruption, questioning systems, big love and generosity, and AI
3. Practical, dignity-preserving ways to navigate these battles without shrinking, self-betrayal, or abandoning your inner authority

There’s a uniquely disorienting place we can find ourselves in when we have real goals and big dreams, yet can’t honestly say we believe in them. It can feel almost crazy-making — wanting something, planning for it, and still feeling internally unconvinced it’s possible. And yet, this experience is far more common than we’re taught to believe, especially during moments of transition when we’re seeking real change or a quantum leap forward in our lives.

This episode is for anyone who wants to keep moving forward with integrity when optimism feels unavailable (especially around New Year goals and intentions), and who is ready to work at the level where change actually happens — the subconscious. Instead of forcing motivation or positive thinking, this session explores dignity-based subconscious programming as a way to lower resistance, restore inner coherence, and make goals possible without pressure, self-betrayal, or false certainty.

Here’s what I explore:

1. Nine real reasons you may no longer believe in your own dreams — and why none of them mean you’re failing
2. A two-minutes-for-ten-days dignity practice (20 minutes total) that’s been making my goals possible
3. How this practice works at the subconscious level to reduce resistance and restore forward movement
4. Four ways to work with this practice more deeply once the initial ten days are complete

This second season opener arrives on the first New Moon of 2026. It is a moment when collective attention naturally turns toward beginnings. The calendar may be an artificial construct, but the energy of fresh starts is still very real. In this episode, I share intuitive guidance, not predictions. It is an energy reading with reflections and suggestions for how to approach your dreams and goals. Consider this an energetic orientation for the year ahead! Expect to leave feeling profoundly inspired and deeply grounded.

Here are the four key intuitive themes for 2026:

1. Ask for help from your spiritual benefactor

3. Consumption vs. receptivity and spiritual hunger
4. Doing from knowing and your life song
