  • Connect to the Feeling as Often as You Can
    Jun 9 2026

    Here's a reminder solo on choosing to connect with the feeling and not holding so tightly onto what it looks like. And choosing the feeling over and over again as much as we can until we close the gap.

  • How To Create, Connect & Express Yourself Freely Through Play with Piera Gelardi
    May 27 2026

    I love this episode !!!! We have Piera Gelardi back on the show for her second round talking all things play and her debut book, The Playful Way: Creativity, Connection and Joy Through Everyday Moments of Play. We're talking about how/why we forget our playful nature and how to slowly slowly return, we're talking cringe, vulnerability, how to lead with authenticity and so much more.

  • Protecting Creativity, Visibility Fears & Building With Integrity With Tonya Papanikolov
    May 12 2026

    I'm joined by Tonya Papanikolov, founder of Rainbo, for a conversation on visibility, creativity, slowing down, building with integrity, and learning to trust yourself through every season of growth. We talk about the fear of being seen, what happens when life calls you inward, the tension between freedom and responsibility, feminine vs. masculine energy in business, aging, beauty, Human Design, and how to know when to stay the course vs. pivot. This felt less like an interview and more like two projectors having a very honest conversation about what it means to build a life and business that actually feels true.

  • Calibrating to Peace and Learning to Receive with Florencia Fridman of Cacao Laboratory
    Dec 17 2025

    I'm joined by the powerful and magical force that is Florencia Fridman, co-founder of Cacao Laboratory (my favorite cacao brand that has changed my life) and cacao guide/educator. In this episode we're talking about the medicine of cacao and working with the plant to help heal and open your heart, calibrating to new levels of peace, learning to receive (why is this so hard lol?), how shifting from caffeine to cacao has helped me so much with creating from a grounded place and we get into all things building an intentional and rooted brand while also thinking of scaling to serve the masses. A very complete AI episode <3 Love love it.
