In today's episode, I'm talking about an article that shook me — and what the Epstein files, the silence of the wellness industry, and the courage of one doctor who refused to stay quiet mean for every one of us on a spiritual path.

I share why the silence of 21 major wellness influencers with 250 million combined followers isn't neutrality — it's complicity — and why I believe Lissa Rankin's article is one of the bravest things I've ever read.

We'll explore why accountability is at the core of every spiritual tradition — and why practicing it, in the wellness world and in our own lives, is one of the most sacred things we can do.

Question to carry into your day:
What are you avoiding taking an honest accounting of — in your own life, in your own relationships — that deserves your attention?

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happened at my dog's daycare that taught me about the space between impulse and action.

I share how I got self-righteous about a pass extension, and then a snowstorm showed me how wrong I was.

We'll explore why the pause is everything - and how to find the grace to not react when we're agitated.

Question to carry into your day:
Where in your life are you reacting without pausing - and what would it look like to find the space between your impulse and your action?

In today's episode, I'm talking about the text my bff Lauren's mom sent me from a dinner in Florida that called out my lack of social media presence — and the realization I had in my therapist's office the same week that changed how I think about promotion.

I share why I've been hiding from visibility and how Tosha Silver's concept of "offering" completely reframes what it means to put yourself out there.

We'll explore the difference between humility and hiding, and why making your work available to the people who need it might be one of the most spiritual things you can do.

Question to carry into your day:
What are you holding back from sharing that someone out there might be waiting for?

In today's episode, I'm talking about what I learned from watching moped drivers navigate the wild, chaotic streets of the Marrakesh Medina — and why their secret isn't skill or speed, it's full commitment.

I share how standing on the sidewalk analyzing your life is not the same as living it, and what Marsha Linehan's DBT concept of "participation" can teach us about getting out of our heads.

We'll explore why overthinking isn't preparation — it's a way of staying on the sidelines — and how clarity comes from moving, not from figuring it all out first.

Question to carry into your day:
What are you standing on the edge of that's asking you to stop thinking and start moving?

In today's episode, I'm talking about a voice memo my friend sent me in the middle of eclipse season — and why I couldn't sugarcoat my answer when she asked me when the change would stop.

I share why change is the only constant we have, and why the shedding isn't the problem — it's actually the point.

We'll explore why the ego wants stability but the soul wants to keep moving — and how to be in motion without panicking.

Question to carry into your day:
What are you waiting to stop changing — that might actually be trying to transform you?

In today's episode, I'm talking about what happened when we got hit with another massive blizzard — and why twenty inches of snow didn't scare me the way it did the first time.

I share how going from terrified to annoyed is actually a huge upgrade, and why the first cut really is the deepest.

We'll explore why being seasoned doesn't mean being fearless — it means the fear doesn't run the show anymore.

Question to carry into your day:
What are you going through for the second time that you could trust yourself more with — because you already survived the first?

What hard season are you in right now - and can you trust that the snow will melt?
