It’s Valentine’s Day.
Love is everywhere. But, beneath the surface so many people are carrying a quiet fear: the fear of being alone.

In this first episode for 2026, I explore the deep human need for connection and the difference between choosing love from wholeness versus choosing someone to avoid loneliness.

I talk about:

✨ why we are wired for connection
✨ why so many people settle in relationships
✨ the importance of spending time alone
✨ how attachment styles shape who we choose and how we love
✨ breaking patterns and choosing conscious relationships
✨ learning to feel safe within yourself

This episode is compassionate, honest and grounding whether you are single, partnered, healing or questioning your relationship patterns.

In this episode I’m joined by Ruby Chapman, co founder of Zensi Retreat a woman who alchemises her life experiences into wisdom, presence and pure magic. We open with a beautiful grounding exercise led by Ruby inviting you to settle into your body before we explore the deeper conversation beneath the conversation.

Together we dive into:

🌿 Ruby’s Awakening

Ruby shares who she is, what pulled her into the world of energy, embodiment and ritual and the pivotal turning point that woke her up. She opens up about her own comfort zone breakthroughs and the moments that changed her life.

🔥 Pushing Past Your Comfort Zone

What does stepping out of your comfort zone actually feel like energetically?
Ruby and I explore the difference between discomfort and danger, fear as an invitation, the nervous system’s role, and how transformation happens through brave micro movements, not giant leaps.

🌙 Trust, Faith & Surrender

We talk control vs. flow, trusting timing and how surrender is a softening, not giving up. Ruby shares how energy responds when you finally let go and allow life to meet you.

✨ Living Life as Ritual

Ruby offers simple, powerful rituals you can weave into everyday life. These practices help you reconnect to yourself, your intuition and the magic in the mundane. This episode is an invitation to slow down, open up and step into the version of you that’s been waiting.

If you’re craving more trust, more alignment, more magic this one will land deeply.
