In this episode Michelle Mercedes (Meesh) and I talk about the potency of a gratitude practice, how the smallest things we forget to have gratitude for, and when you shift that thought process in your life, big things change. We touch on how to become curious. Approaching things with curiosity can allow for a whole new perspective and outlook. Being a human is hard, growth is hard, recognizing why you're coming from a certain place, and how you can end up projecting that into the world. Those ar...

In this solo episode, I talk about my recent darkness. This is a vulnerable share of being stuck in the victim mindset. How did I manage to slowly get out? Why I feel so trapped in some ways still.

I also touch on how to help friends in negative places and why it's so important to listen instead of spiritual bypass...

In this episode I talk about how loving every piece of your foundation as a being is so important before trying to bring in other pieces. I think we get so consumed with social media and what everyone else is doing and we try and change the fundamental person we are by taking on the qualities of others. But does that really feel good? Is it your highest excitement? Its like building a house, the foundation (your internal) has to be solid and full of love first before building upon that. I'm in t...

Oh man, it's been a week. I really feel like when we go thru these turbulent times it's important not to give up. Monday I wanted to burn everything right to the ground, but after much thought I know this is a moment to up level. It's easy to quit when things get hard, but the testament to self is to have enough self belief and strength to keep moving forward. It's easy to become a prisoner to our own mind, but your thoughts are not who you truly are, and bringing awareness to the fact that its ...

In this episode I go solo and talk about radical acceptance. I've found that by accepting who I am, where I am at mentally, and how my body is feeling physically can help shift and move thru so much. The more you lean into acceptance of the place you're at, the faster it can be turned into a catalyst for more goodness, and an up level in life. This has been such a game changer at allowing myself to have more self compassion, and also cultivate a more beautiful space in my mind. intro music by th...
