Does anyone else feel like they are in the final stages of becoming something/someone else? I feel like I'm the caterpillar in the cocoon, just about to break out and start life as a butterfly. I mean this figuratively, but I suppose it could be taken quite literally, as the world changes and we emerge from our cocoons after a year+ of relative hibernation. The uncomfortable feeling of the energy that is about to emerge, but not quite ready to burst out is palpable.... Maybe it will happen tomor...

As the Mother's Day energy is still upon us, I felt called to talk about the divine feminine energy around us, within all beings, and especially within ourselves. I invite you to connect to the Mother energy within you and the creative force within you as we shift the planetary alignment to have more harmony with the masculine and feminine energies. This is not about better or higher, but true equality of these aspects. As we honor this truth and the shift, we can recognize that we all have to a...

Nina Mongendre-Samonov is a mother, a teacher, an entrepreneur, a healer, and a curator of beauty. In this conversation, we dive deep into her journey, from a background in art history and working at Sotheby's to her immersion into yoga, meditation, ancestral healing and eventually opening an online store. Through her experience of both of her parents passing away in her 20s, she learned to allow and love all aspects of herself and that her wounds and trauma can be a source of incredible richnes...

Our bodies carry so much information—energetically, physically, and emotionally—and can be our best ally in taking care of ourselves. Listening to yourself involves not only listening to your spirit, tuning into your intuition but also to your physical body. This past week with the full moon in Scorpio and the Sun moving into Taurus, you may have felt the polarity of emotional swings, while wanting to be grounded. In this episode, I share my experience this week with a huge release of pressure. ...

As I've been observing the world around me these past few weeks (and years), I've been thinking about how the collective traumas of our society can only be healed when we each do our own internal work first. We all have shadows, traumas, pain, and fear that we can allow into our awareness, include in our healing and accept and integrate as part of our whole being. The collective trauma that the BIPOC community has sustained for centuries has become apparent in all aspects of society and it is im...

The week leading up to the new moon in Aries was incredibly intense for me. Through living my life as a spiritual being having a human experience, I've been made aware that I didn't fully allow myself to deepen into the awareness of freedom and acceptance. I knew intellectually that the only time we really feel freedom and acceptance is when it comes from ourselves. And yet, it wasn't until this past week that I feel like I began to fully integrate this truth into my being. When we can fully acc...

The energy of rebirth, renewal, and opportunity is so potent right now. During the spring, especially around Easter, we have the profound reminder of the birth, death, and rebirth cycle that happens every year on this planet. But the cycle is not just seasonal—it happens in our lives every day—in relationships, in career, in projects. One of my favorite descriptions of GOD is as an acronym: Generate, Organize, Destroy. We've all experienced this first-hand. For something new and beautiful to be ...

What are you devoted to? I've been connecting even more deeply with my devotion to my own evolution. I believe that the greatest love we can give and receive is through our devotion to our Soul. For me, that has taken many forms over the last few years of my spiritual journey, but one act is a solid foundation to my journey: daily meditation. By committing to a meditation practice every single day—no matter what—I have shown myself that I am capable of doing things I never thought I'd do. One ex...

Before, during, and after the recent equinox on March 20, I have been thinking a lot about balance. What does balance look like for me? Where can I cultivate more balance to allow more space and freedom in my life? We all have challenges in one way or another around balance, whether it's work/life, family time/alone time, or even recreational activities/spiritual development. We each have a different ratio of how these aspects are balanced in our lives. In this episode, I share some of the proce...

Two years ago today, on my birthday, I gave birth to this podcast and we are celebrating episode 100! It feels like a lifetime. I've been reflecting on these last two years of podcasting and the year of isolation during the pandemic. In this episode, I talk about how when we embrace all that is—the ups, downs, pain, love, trauma, and triumphs—we can fully experience what it means to be human. By acknowledging, and allowing ALL of our emotions and reactions to this incredibly intense time in huma...

As we step deeper into Pisces season, it's the perfect time to spend more time connecting with our intuition, our emotional experience, and our dreams. From the subtle message we get in our dreams while we sleep to our big, cosmic dreams, there is so much to bring our attention to right now. In this final astrological sign of the zodiac, we are given the opportunity to integrate everything we've learned over the past year. This intense year, like no other, calls for that reflection more than eve...

You probably hear lots of people talk about self-love, but self-love is not a cliche! It is a critical and often overlooked part of our spiritual evolution. In this episode, I talk about some of my self-love practices why it's so important, and how you can cultivate more love for the most important relationship in your life—the one you have with yourself! For me, daily yoga and meditation, time in nature, healthy eating, and getting myself flowers at the farmer's market every week all help me re...

As I learn and evolve in this beautiful human experience, I am constantly surprised and in awe of what we can manifest and sense. Over and over, I have surrendered to the flow of love, trusting that it is my guiding light and that light comes from within me. And in that journey, I've been shown that I am not alone, I am supported by the Cosmos and my guides, and I am here to spread that love and light. In this episode, I talk about some of the profound experiences I've had in just the last two w...

During this time, many of us are isolated and perhaps even depressed or anxious about everything happening in the world, but the truth is, we are literally never alone. The message has been coming to me so clearly lately that not only are we not alone, but we have legions of spirit beings ready and willing to help us as we evolve ourselves and humanity. All we have to do is ask for help. Many of us have been conditioned to be independent and self-sustained, but most successful people are surroun...

We've all said it: I don't have time for this or that... But what are we really projecting in that statement? How are we putting blocks on ourselves around time, space, energy, and self-care? In this episode, I examine my relationship with time and contemplate how we can up-level how we perceive time by looking at it on a quantum level. The truth is that we are the ones defining time in our lives, so maybe we can loosen the constructs and allow more flow, ease, grace, and expansion for ourselves...

We are in a time of immense transformation and the energies we receive and are supported by are shifting quickly. Now is a time to get very intentional about what we are transmitting to the world. With Mercury in Aquarius for 9 long weeks, we have the opportunity to completely reprogram our thought patterns and clear our mindwaves. In this episode, I share a journaling practice I did that led to some profound truths and suggestions from my higher self and the collective consciousness. Not only a...

I've been feeling called to realign myself physically and energetically over the last week and feel like we might all benefit from some help in that regard. In this episode, I discuss some of the ways that I am doing some realignment in my life by observing what habits must go, what new ones to create, and share some of the tools and techniques I use to tune in. Last year was one of deep inward reflection and inquiry. We will continue to be required to call on our resilience and grit for these c...

We've started the year with more of what we experienced in 2020: disturbing and intense situations that have led to more calls for change. Though everyone seems to want something to change, as is often the case, there are many opinions, assertions and flat-out misinformation being used to stoke the flames. Now, more than ever, is a time to use discernment in what information you choose to consume and propagate. It's a time to commit to self-reflection. Get honest with yourself about your own imp...

We made it to 2021! While our reality didn't immediately change when the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, the energy certainly feels different already! We've been building to this new reality for a while now and a major shift occurred on the winter solstice and Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius. Now, with a new year and the coming new moon in Capricorn on Jan 13, we are invited to continue deepening the release and rebirth. In this episode, I discuss how I relaxed over ...

This has been a year of challenges, obstables, ups, downs, trauma, and great release. In this episode, I reflect on what I've learned and integrated in this year like no other, and encourage you to do the same. This was the Cosmos giving us an opportunity, to slow down, go deep into our fears and traumas, and realse the energy that is no longer contributing to your growth. Did you make the most of this opportunity? If not, there's still time. I encourage you to reflect on the lessons and truths ...

This month (this year, really) we've had so many energy portals opening, bringing in energy that we can use to uplift our lives, ourselves, and the collective. On Monday, Dec 21, 2020, we will have the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius on the winter solstice. This is literally the energy portal of our lifetime—perhaps many lifetimes! This is an invitation to listen deeply to your Soul, release what's ready to go, acknowledge and feel all of your feelings, and make space to inte...

What if we could accept all other perspectives as valid? What if instead of opposing each other and getting trigger by people who value things that we don't, we let them do their thing and be themselves? What if the New Earth we are creating involves a chaotic non-order, where everyone gets to be right, we all accept that, and we find ways to love and work together despite that? I believe we are about to enter that reality. Acceptance of all. We can't even fathom what this might look and feel li...

Listen deeply, and take the next right step. The time is NOW. Mentioned in the episode: Mansion of the Heart Unive...

It may seem like a challenge to find gratitude in the tumultuous year we are having, but I believe that Thanksgiving week is a perfect time to connect with this practice and it's also imperative to our wellness. In this episode, I give five simple ways that you can practice gratitude to create the energy of health, clarity, and abundance, despite the chaos and uncertainty around you. Be gentle with yourselves and others and acknowledge all of the things you have to be grateful for. You might be ...

We are currently receiving a massive influx of light energy onto the planet and into our own energetic fields. The intensity of this energy, along with all of the other things that have happened this year, makes for a potent and potentially overwhelming experience. In this episode, I share how I've responded to and engage with ascension symptoms and how you can work with these energies, instead of allowing them to feel like a deluge. This is a moment of opportunity and the more present we can be...

As we unravel and unwind from the election and the emotional swings that many have felt this year, it's important to remember that this is not the time to let up on our spiritual practices. Now, more than ever, is the time to double down (or start) a meditation practice and connect with other practices that help you connect with your higher Self. We have no idea what else 2020 has in store for us and I've found that my practice has allowed me to ride the waves this year with a relative neutralit...

It's been quite a week, month, year and it's a good time to check in with yourself and others. How have you responded to the chaos of the world? What are you suppressing or unwilling allow yourself to feel? What habiits do you want to release and what habits do you want to create in your life? These are all great questions to ask yourself right now. Scorpio season, this recent blue moon on Halloween, and the intensity of this world is supporting us in getting really honest about our values and w...

As we enter into Scorpio season and approach the second full moon in the month of October, things are getting deep, dark, intense, and oh, so juicy! Delving into the shadows does not have to be a fear-inducing trigger-fest. Embracing the shadows within ourselves and the collective and lovingly bringing them into the light is an incredible opportunity right now. The Universe is literally supporting you in this process. Dive deep into the dark, hold your shadow by the hand and swim with them back ...

Being a "creative" person doesn't just mean that you practice traditional arts like a painter, musician, dancer, or other artists. We are all creators. Creativity is a critical part of our lives. We create throughout our days, through our family, cooking, gardening, our work, and so many more activities—even with our thoughts. At times you may not feel very creative or energized, but when you do, it's important to engage with your creative outlets and let it flow. This process not only helps you...

Recently, I ventured out of my quarantine bubble for the first time in seven months and went to LA to visit a couple of people in my soul family for a much needed weekend away. The impetus for the trip was a session with my dear friend, healer, and mentor Sat Devbir. I got the ping to make the appointment months ago and was not at all surprised when his first available appointment was on 10/10! The stars aligned for me to go there and the session was magical (of course), but one of the most prof...
