In today's episode, I'm talking about the tenderness of relationships that change form rather than disappear.

I share the story of reconnecting with an ex after a soft, mutual breakup and the surprising moment of hope that followed.

We'll explore how to stay open when endings become beginnings in another shape, and how reimagining connection can be its own kind of healing.

Question to carry into your day:
Where in your life is a relationship asking to be reimagined, and what might open if you allowed it to change shape?

In today's episode, I'm talking about how to find stability when the holidays knock you off your spiritual beam.

I share a personal story about slipping into depression without realizing it, the friends who reflected it back to me, and the simple plan that one of my spiritual guides, Juliana helped me create when she reminded me I was in "spiritual critical care."

We'll explore what it means to return to basics, why simplicity is sometimes the most powerful form of healing, and how stability can be rebuilt one small action at a time.

Question to carry into your day:
What's one small, basic action that would help you feel even a tiny bit more stable today?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the difference between contribution and flow — and what happens when we stop trying to earn our place in the rhythm of life.

I share a story about a weekend with my framily that reminded me how easily we interrupt generosity by feeling guilty for receiving — and how freedom and connection return when we let ourselves be carried.

We'll explore why overgiving blocks the natural current of love, how to practice receiving without guilt, and what it really means to trust life's flow.

Question to carry into your day:
Where in your life might you be interrupting the flow — and can you soften enough to let life carry you for a while?

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when your nervous system calls the shots and your only job is to surrender.

I share the story of coming home from a retreat, planning a productive day, and realizing that my body was in a dorsal state and needed something completely different.

We'll explore surrender as a spiritual practice, how to honor your body's truth, and why rest is sometimes the highest form of wisdom.

Question to carry into your day:
Where are you resisting what is true in your body or your life, and what might open if you surrendered to it?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the deep self trust that comes from honoring your inner experience, even when it means stepping away.

I share the story of leaving a retreat session early when my vibration dropped, the reaction it caused, and the clarity that followed.

We'll explore attunement as a spiritual practice, how to listen to your inner truth, and why self care sometimes means leaving the room.

Question to carry into your day:
Where are you being asked to trust the truth of your own experience, even if it means stepping away?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the quiet ways the universe guides us — the subtle signs, the gentle nudges, the whispers that redirect us when we're willing to stay open.

I share the story of nearly leaving a retreat for a completely reasonable reason, and how one honest conversation shifted everything. We'll explore the spiritual practice of openness, how to recognize subtle guidance, and why the softest signs are often the ones that change our path the most.

Question to carry into your day:
Where in your life might you need to soften your certainty and become open to a subtle note, a quiet nudge, or a different kind of guidance?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the sacred rhythm of giving and receiving — and how remembering to replenish ourselves keeps love alive.

I share the story of a women's healing circle where, after a night of Reiki and sound healing, a powerful moment in the closing circle reminded me that even the helpers and doers need to receive too.

We'll explore how giving without receiving cuts us off from our own vitality, and how replenishment is an act of love, not selfishness.

Question to carry into your day:
What part of you might be running on empty — and what would it look like to let yourself truly replenish?

In today's episode, I'm talking about why it's okay to need help — even when you're the strong one.

I share a story about how easily we forget that the people who give the most often need help too — and how asking for support is actually one of the most honest, human things we can do. We'll explore why strength isn't about doing it all alone, how humility opens the door to grace, and how remembering our worthiness can transform the way we give and receive care.

Question to carry into your day:
Where in your life have you been carrying the weight alone — and can you let yourself believe that you're worthy of help, too?
