Well, this year has certainly taken a turn for the unexpected!

On Tuesday, January 7th, the Palisades Fire broke out in LA and we evacuated that evening, and didn’t return back to LA for 3.5 weeks.

In this solo episode, I share some reflections from the last several weeks. I highlight some themes:

1. When timelines shift (and grounding into this…)
2. Impermanence (everything is constantly changing)
3. Spiritual bypass (& the impulse to want to fix, rather than feel)
4. Giving and receiving (the flow and intertwining of these energies)
5. Living closer to the truth (& the discomfort of this!)

I hope you enjoy, and as always feel free to reach out with your thoughts!

Welcome to the last episode of 2024 on the Voices of Wisdom Project!!

This week, I have a conversation with Bri Rubin, a Human Design specialist and coach. She is an artist as well as a yoga teacher and is devoted to exploring and experimenting with both ancient and modern spiritual technologies.

This was a really fun conversation to have – Bri is intimate with Human Design and very beautifully explains what goes into this system and why it’s so revelatory for the times we live in. I hope you’ll find it useful!

In this conversation, we:

• Cover the basics of Human Design – what is it? Where does it come from?
• Why HD stands out amongst other frameworks to understand ourselves
• How we can use this knowledge for greater alignment
• Ways that we can MISinterpret our charts
• The breakdown of Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors
• How Human Design can help us to live a de-conditioned life
• And SO MUCH MORE!

You can contact Bri for a reading at www.brirubin.com, or contact her directly on Instagram: _brirubin_

Cheers to 2025!

On this week’s episode of the Voices of Wisdom, I have the great pleasure of talking to Anne Upczak-Garcia, the author of the heart-wrenching, deep, beautiful story in the book Among Walkers.

Being the daughter of a Venezuelan family, this book broke my heart into pieces. Not only did it illuminate a migrant crisis (the ramifications of which I was not fully aware of) but it also illuminated my own sadness of being disconnected from my homeland.

In this podcast episode, we talk about:

• What Venezuela was like in the 90s
• How Venezuela got to this point + a few historical events
• Why Anne wrote this story as an American woman
• Why Anne decided to give the book a happy ending
• What happens when a government has so much control
• The heartbreak of being disconnected from one’s homeland
• And so much more!!

Anne is a writer, mother and educator. She writes because she believes it is important to tell stories, to listen to stories and to pass stories along to children. She writes in her journal, she writes for work and she writes fiction. All of these types of writing free her mind and help her spirit grow. She is available for readings, podcasts, presentations or workshops. Just reach out!

You can contact Anne on her website: https://www.anneupczakgarcia.com/

Her book is also available on Barnes & Noble & Apple Books.
