This week, I'm joined by the beautiful Anjie Hipple for a powerful and heartfelt conversation about what it means to come home to yourself. Anjie shares her story of growing up in an environment that didn't feel emotionally safe and how that early survival mode shaped her identity.

We talk about the masks we wear to stay protected, how trauma pulls us away from who we really are, and the work it takes to reconnect with our truth. Anjie offers such honest and inspiring insights about emotional healing, self-compassion, and the power of doing the deeper inner work.

This conversation is especially meaningful if you've ever felt disconnected from yourself or unsure of how to move from surviving to truly thriving.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How early trauma impacts our identity and sense of self

• The survival strategies we carry into adulthood

• Anjie's experience with nervous system regulation and emotional healing

• How to recognize when you're living from your masks instead of your truth

• The role of soul work and self-compassion in finding wholeness

Today, I dive into one of my favorite topics and one of the most powerful tools we have for navigating life, parenting, relationships, and our inner world. I am talking about the wisdom of the heart. This conversation was inspired by a thoughtful listener who reached out with such a relatable question. Her message opened the door for a deeper look at intuition, sensitivity, and how we make choices that truly honor our souls.

Whether you are a parent or someone who wants to strengthen your inner guidance, this episode will help you understand how to hear your heart more clearly and trust it with more confidence.

In this episode, I share:

• How I recognize the voice of my heart versus the voice of my mind

• Why we are seeing more highly sensitive children and how I support them

• What to do when other people's opinions conflict with what feels true for you

• How I tune in and feel into the right choice for myself or my children

• The difference between an ego-based decision and a soul-guided one

• How to stop relying on outside validation and lean into your inner authority

Listener Discretion: This conversation includes a brief mention of suicidal thoughts as part of one guest's journey toward healing and awakening.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series, for a deeply moving conversation about awakening, consciousness, and remembering who we truly are.

Neale shares how a single moment of despair led to a life-changing dialogue with God - one that continues to inspire millions around the world. Our conversation dives into love, unity, and how to live from awareness instead of fear.

Together, we explore how to:

• See challenges as opportunities for soul growth and remembrance

• Shift from separation to connection and from fear to love

• Move beyond "doing" spirituality to being it

• Recognize your soul's purpose in everyday moments

• Build your own personal, authentic relationship with the Divine
  
  

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that life isn't happening to us — it's happening through us. Every experience, even the difficult ones, is guiding us back home to love.

If you've ever caught yourself wondering, "Am I good enough? Lovable enough? Worthy enough?"... this episode is for you.

Today, I'm diving into the powerful difference between external and internal validation, and how learning to validate yourself is the key to breaking free from codependency, people-pleasing, and enmeshment.

When we rely on others to tell us who we are, we lose touch with our true selves. But when we start building that validation from within, everything changes: our confidence, our sense of worth, and the way we move through the world.

In this episode, I share:

• How codependency develops when we seek our worth outside of ourselves

• Simple ways to practice self-validation every day

• Why internal validation becomes even more essential as we age

• How celebrating your small wins rewires your brain and boosts self-worth

This episode is all about bringing it home. Finding your value from within and learning to celebrate the beautifully unique human you already are.

Today, I'm diving into the powerful practice of cord cutting - a simple but transformative way to release old ties and reclaim your own energy.

We create energetic cords with everyone we interact with, from loved ones to strangers. These connections can weigh us down with resentment, heartbreak, and even other people's emotions. Cord cutting isn't about ending relationships. It's about keeping your energy field clean, clear, and truly your own.

In this episode, I share:

• What energetic cords are and how they affect us

• Why cutting cords doesn't mean cutting people out of your life

• Simple, practical ways to cut cords through visualization and intention

• How cord cutting frees us from resentment, trauma, and unhealthy dynamics

This isn't just about feeling lighter. It's about stepping into your own power, creating space for peace, and opening the door to healthier, more fulfilling connections.
