In this week's episode, I sit down with Chelsea Yamase — known to millions online as Chelsea Kauai.

As one of the world's most recognizable travel creators, Chelsea has lived what many would call a dream life. But after years at the top of her field, she found herself asking: What happens when the dream stops feeling aligned?

This heartfelt conversation explores what it really means to outgrow your old identity, find peace in uncertainty, and rebuild your purpose from the inside out.

If you're navigating an identity shift or just craving an inspirational conversation — this one's for you.

Here's what we explore:

💫 Why alignment isn't a final destination but a daily intention
🐋 The story behind Soul Track and how affirmations can reprogram your mindset

🔥 The art of "burning it down" — giving yourself permission to pause, pivot, and evolve

This week I'm diving into something we all do, often without realizing — self-sabotage. Whether it shows up in love, work, or how we share ourselves with the world, it's rarely about laziness or lack of willpower. It's about safety, belief, and the stories our subconscious & nervous system cling to.

I open up about my own patterns — the ways I used to hold myself back, hide behind perfection, overgive in relationships — and how I began to rewire those old beliefs. If you've ever found yourself procrastinating, people-pleasing, or shrinking the moment you're finally being seen, this one's for you.

Here's what I explore:

💭 What self-sabotage really is — and why it's not your fault

🌙 How childhood beliefs quietly shape your adult life

⚡️ The link between nervous system safety and lasting change

🌿 Simple, grounding tools to regulate and return to yourself

🧠 How to reprogram limiting beliefs using awareness and proof

💫 The power of visualization and evidence-based self-trust

🤍 Learning to feel safe being seen — online and in love

Here's to the version of you who's ready to stop hiding 🫶🏻

This week I sat down with Aaron Alexander — movement coach, breathwork expert, manual therapist, and host of The Align Podcast. With over 20 years of experience (and a client list that includes celebrities and pro athletes), Aaron has a way of blending science, humor, and heart that makes the deep stuff feel surprisingly accessible.

We go everywhere in this conversation: from the way childhood imprints live in our nervous systems, to why unfelt emotions act like "energetic debt," to the practical tools that can help you find more freedom in both body and mind.

In this episode of She's WELLthy, I sit down with Jaclyn Fu — co-founder and co-CEO of Pepper, the bra company inspiring small-chested women to celebrate themselves as perfectly enough.

Jaclyn's story is a beautiful one of turning insecurity into purpose. What began as her own feelings of inadequacy grew into a movement that's redefined the bra industry and given confidence to millions of women. We dive into how Pepper was born, the challenges of starting a product-based business with no experience, and what it takes to scale to selling over a million bras a year.

This conversation goes far beyond business. Jaclyn opens up about what she learned from a recent heartbreak, the limiting beliefs she's had to rewire, and the spiritual awakening that changed her life. We talk about alchemizing pain into love, learning to share vulnerably online despite shame, and how spiritual practices like Kundalini and meditation helped her reconnect with her power.

We also explore what it really takes to be a purpose-driven founder: building authentic community, overcoming self-worth struggles, and showing up as the most embodied version of yourself in leadership, love, and life.

In this episode of She's WELLthy, I bring you a conversation with Dene Logan, relationship coach & couples therapist, best-selling author, and mentee of Esther Perel.

This episode goes far beyond the typical black & white dating advice. Dene shares her definition of "relationship success" vs how society defines it, the dangers of taking on attachment styles as identities, and how to start healing attachment wounding.

We talk about the overfunctioner & underfunctioner dynamic, how resentment in relationships is created, what's really going on in the anxious-avoidant dynamic, and how to keep curiosity alive in long-term relationships.

Dene also talks about how to heal the wounded feminine energy to attract a healthy masculine partner, why embracing creativity & fun will magnetize your dream partner, and why women should be more protective of their sexual energy.

Lastly, we cover tips for manifesting your dream partner.
