Today I’m joined by the radiant Dalia Van Lom, a true content queen who helps visionary women entrepreneurs show up online with confidence, sparkle, and strategy. We first met at Create & Cultivate and instantly bonded over the importance of being fully expressed—not just in business, but also in love.

Dalia is living proof that when you break free from old patterns, you can create the most epic love story. From growing up in Peru to navigating heartbreak and years of being single, she found her way back to herself, her roots, and ultimately, her dream partner. Now she helps women shine online with scroll-stopping reels, engaging videos, and content that actually attracts their dream clients—all while embodying the same authenticity and courage she brings to her marriage.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt the tension between independence and intimacy, if you’re wondering whether it’s avoidance or intuition guiding you in love, or if you’re ready to deepen your relationships by leaning into vulnerability, patience, and courage.

✨ Get ready to learn how to:

• Stop confusing avoidance with soul guidance in relationships

• Embrace your single era as a sacred reset

• Make conscious choices after that first date that change everything

• Use the sacred pause to stop reacting and start responding with clarity

• Break free from ancestral stories that keep you from love

• Lead with courage to rewrite toxic dynamics and experience deeper intimacy

Whether you’re an ambitious woman craving a conscious partner, or you’re already in love and ready to grow together, this conversation will open your heart to what’s possible.

In this transformative episode of Thriving in Love, I’m joined by my dear friend and Spiritual Alchemist, Navjot Dhaliwal, for a deep & raw conversation on shadow work, feminine embodiment, and the alchemy of true healing.

We explore why shadow work is actually love work, how to embrace the parts of yourself that feel too dark to face, and why true healing isn’t just about mindset shifts but embodied integration.

From understanding how 99% of our thoughts unconsciously shape our reality, to stepping off the burnout-inducing healing treadmill and into the sacred space of feminine embodiment, Navjot shares insights that will shift how you view healing, union, and emotional honesty.

We talk about the spiritual ego trap, why safety must be defined through your truth—not your wounds—and how to cultivate sacred union from authenticity, not performance.

This conversation is an invitation to feel deeply, embrace all your emotions as medicine, and rematrix the matrix through presence, power, and pause.
