Grief reminds us of the uncertainty life carries, it gets us to rethink everything we care about, to re-prioritize where we put our focus, who we talk to, and what we end up doing with our lives.

Losing someone you love is probably one of the most if not hardest things we have to experience in this human life. This week I tell you my tips for naviga...

Hi, soul fam! This week I'm reflecting back on a crazy, wonderful, powerful year. Join me as I unpack this year and what I have learned: Things always get better. Over time and as we age, life shapeshifts and transforms. We will never stay the same. Putting in the work does pay off. Maybe not instantaneously but eventually.

Hi, beautiful beings, This week I speak on the idea that we must work hard to succeed. I challenge us all to rethink our agreement on this concept and instead open our perspectives. What if we worked more consciously with intention and discipline. What if our goals and dreams could be pulled by beautiful energy of trust and excitement rather than fear and doubt. What if the word "hard" no longer needs to exist in our vocabulary. Thanks for tuning in this week! If you resonate with this idea plea...

We've all probably heard of this idea that life is happening in the "present moment".

I feel like over time it becomes challenging to actually achieve this idea in reality. In this episode, I break down my opinions and perceptions of what it means to actually live in the present. I talk about how we can allow the past and future to stand on their own without letting th...

I used to be the person who could never stand to be alone, I would distract myself from whatever I was going through and always wanted to be doing something to keep my mind busy.

It allowed me to form my own opinions and perspectives on the world and really re-discover my values without the outside world's influence.
