I'm back. New space, new walls, and honestly a lot to yap about.

In this solo episode I'm having the conversation I've been sitting with for a while. I moved, I turned another year older, I became a published photographer, and somewhere in the middle of all of that expansion - my creativity went completely quiet. And I had to figure out why.

This episode is about what happens to your identity when your environment shifts. I spent years building my creativity, my business, my whole aesthetic out of chaos, pain, and dark beauty. And then I finally landed somewhere safe - and my nervous system didn't know what to do with it. Neither did my art.

If you've ever gone through a big transition and felt yourself go quiet right when things were finally starting to work - this one's for you.

What does it mean to live as an infinite being inside a finite human experience — and how do you stop fighting that paradox?

This week on Proper Madness, I'm joined by Nino Palacio: behavioral coach, breathwork guide, mystic, poet, and retreat facilitator. Nino's work lives at the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and spiritual practice, and this conversation goes places I didn't expect.

We talk about discovering autism later in life, losing his best friend to psychosis, and why that loss made him question everything about traditional psychology. We get into psychedelics as a tool that bypasses the logical mind, the danger of intellectualizing your own healing, and shame alchemy - using content creation as a genuine spiritual initiatory process.

And we end up in a full conversation about the villain era, what your shadow self is actually asking for, and why expressing your truth online might be one of the most liberating things you can do.

This one is for the overthinkers, the mystics, the healers, and anyone who's been living a little too small.

In this episode, Sabi sits down with Ranela- marriage and family therapist, life coach, actress, and host of The Life Edit podcast - for a deeply honest conversation about what it actually takes to rebuild yourself from the ground up.

Ranela shares her journey from a life heavily rooted in religion to a full identity deconstruction at 27. They go deep on codependency, attachment patterns, what it means to live between cultures as South Asian women in the West, and why the loneliest and most necessary journey is the one you have to take with yourself.

This one's for anyone who's ever felt like they were climbing the right ladder only to realize it's leaning on the wrong house.

In this episode, I sit down with psychic, spiritual content creator, and all-around iconic human Kayleigh Alexa for an unfiltered conversation about what it actually means to be a spiritual woman navigating dating, self-trust, and showing up online without losing your soul in the process.

We chat about the the spiritual closet, what it means to hide your gifts because you're afraid of rejection, and why that same wound shows up in your relationships, your dating patterns, and even your content. Kayleigh shares her experience of being gaslit by a partner who literally knew she was psychic and intentionally made her doubt herself, and how that became the catalyst for owning her gifts fully.

This episode goes deep on soul mirrors, why you attract people who reflect your unhealed wounds, energetic sovereignty in relationships, what it means to create content FROM yourself instead of FOR the algorithm, and why your intuition has never actually been wrong.

In a world obsessed with trends, algorithms, and constant output, what happens when we slow down instead?

In this episode of Proper Madness, I sit down with wildlife photographer and conservationist David to explore the deeper relationship between presence, creativity, and authenticity both online and in life.

Through stories from wildlife photography, travel, and personal evolution, this conversation becomes a reminder that art isn’t made by chasing attention- it’s made by paying attention.

If you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or human feeling overwhelmed by content culture, this episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember why you started.

David is a naturalist, occasional writer, and a passionate wildlife photographer and videographer. Currently living off the west coast of Scotland, he's worked in wild life conservation for over a decade, and the experiences and moments he's had along the way have been unforgettable.

In this episode, I sit down with Sean Kennedy, musician, creator, and one of those people who can say the quiet thing out loud.

We talk about what happens when life forces an identity shift… and how creativity can become the thing that brings you back. We go into curiosity as the root of real creativity, why so many people are trapped in performance (online and in life), and the difference between obsession and devotion. We also talk about facing yourself the mirror moment, accountability, quitting alcohol, discernment, and what it means to protect your gift when you’re going through it.

This episode is for anyone who feels the pull to live more honestly.

Sean Colin Kennedy is a Scottish recording artist based in Nashville. Creating a blend of rock, pop with a nostalgic pull. Sean also in the acting world as well as an advocate and speaker of mental health and the spiritual journey.

In this episode, I sit down with Ruby for a deep, honest conversation about intuition - not as something mystical or abstract, but as something deeply embodied.

We talk about what intuition actually feels like in the body, why so many of us were taught to numb it, and how learning to feel again can change everything. From Akashic Records and breathwork to lineage wounds, sensuality, shame, and surrender - this conversation is about coming back home to yourself.

Intuition isn’t loud.
It’s subtle. It’s physical.
It’s a language of feeling.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, your emotions, or your inner knowing - this episode is for you.

Ruby is the Founder and Boss Witch at The Shift – a company with a mission to help close the wellness gap by joyfully reclaiming our magic. She uses the Akashic Records, tarot, and energy healing to guide people home to their truth, infinite power, and deep magic.

Rather than fortune-telling your future, her approach as an Intuitive Guide is rooted in self-empowerment to remind you that you create your own.

Ruby is a resident intuitive reader at Anima Mundi Apothecary and Mystic Journey Bookstore. She's also a wellness practitioner at The Preserve (formerly Second Home Hollywood) and has worked with celebrities, non-profits, and companies such as Skims, Shiseido, and Neuehouse.
