From the serene base of a snow-covered mountain in Whistler, Canada, this meditative episode offers a moment of calm reflection during turbulent times. After taking necessary space for personal healing, I return with insights from this ethereal landscape where snow falls freely and mist embraces mountaintops like "a hug from the heavens."

The natural world becomes our guide to navigating life's complexities. We witness how clouds swallow mountain peaks only to part moments later, revealing crisp blue skies—a perfect metaphor for the impermanence of our heaviest emotions. This visual reminder serves as an invitation to trust life's cycles and recognize that nothing, not even our deepest grief, remains forever.

Looking upward becomes both literal practice and spiritual metaphor in this episode. Whether you're walking through concrete jungles or forest paths, the simple act of shifting your gaze from downward to skyward can transform your experience. When we view the world "through eyes of innocence," appreciating its fragility and magic, we participate in creating the change we wish to see. As discord and heaviness surround us globally, we're reminded of our power to "soften the air" through deliberate acts of kindness and love. The episode concludes with a guided forest meditation, inviting listeners to experience calm, ease, and trust wherever they find themselves.

What magic awaits when you simply look up? Subscribe to continue exploring life's deepest questions with candor, compassion, and a commitment to staying deliciously authentic.

Welcome, dear ones. In this episode, I invite you to journey with me beyond the mind—into the rich, layered terrain of the subconscious. This isn’t just a conversation; it’s an exploration of the internal landscapes we often overlook, the parts of ourselves that whisper beneath the surface, shaping how we feel, respond, and show up in the world.

We’ll delve into the nature of consciousness, the fragmentation that can occur through lived experiences and trauma, and how we can begin to reconnect with the parts of ourselves we’ve tucked away. I’ll share personal stories and client experiences to illuminate how our subconscious holds both our deepest wounds and our greatest wisdom.

This episode is an offering—a permission slip—to be exactly as you are. Whether you listen with full attention or let the words wash over you like gentle waves, trust that you’ll receive exactly what you need, in exactly the way you need it.

✨ What’s Inside:

• A tender, trauma-informed exploration of the subconscious
• Reflections on internal fragmentation and the path to integration
• Personal stories on navigating consent, consciousness, and co-creation within the body
• Gentle invitations to meet yourself with curiosity and compassion

🔮 Featured Deck: The Blind Spot Oracle by Teal Swan
This episode is inspired by and features excerpts from The Blind Spot Oracle by Teal Swan—a deck that offers no-fluff, direct insights designed to uncover what you might not yet see. Unlike traditional oracle cards filled with symbolic imagery, this deck uses sigils and channeled messages to help surface the unseen patterns living within us. One of my go-to tools in my work with my clients and in my personal practice.

A Gentle Note: This episode touches on themes of trauma, fragmentation, and healing. I invite you to listen at your own pace, pausing whenever needed. You are safe & loved and not alone on this journey—I’m right here with you. 💛

Welcome, dear ones. In this episode, I invite you to unlock the door to abundance—not as something distant or hard to reach, but as a living, breathing presence already woven into the fabric of your life. Together, we’ll explore the transformative shift from a scarcity mindset to the limitless potential that’s always within and around you.

I’ll guide you through a soulful journey inspired by the radiant spirit of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of abundance. But before we dive deep, I’ll share a light-hearted story (because, let’s be honest, life is a cosmic joke sometimes) to gently set the tone for gratitude and appreciation.

Through this guided meditation, you’ll be invited to pause, breathe, and truly take stock of the richness you already hold—whether it’s love, family, friendships, simple pleasures, or the beauty of your own existence. This isn’t just a meditation; it’s an invitation to adorn yourself with the awareness of how abundant you already are.

Let’s savor the moment, embrace what’s here, and call in even more.

✨ Featured Deck: The Goddess Oracle
This meditation is from The Goddess Oracle by Amy Sophia Marashinsky, beautifully illustrated by Hrana Janto. This deck has been a beloved companion on my own journey, gifted to me by a dear friend and infused with wisdom that continues to guide and inspire. In this episode, you’ll meet Lakshmi through its pages—a goddess whose energy radiates abundance, beauty, and the reminder that we are already whole.

Ever find yourself caught in one of life's delightful absurdities, like a spontaneous concert on your late-night train ride? While under the weather, I stumbled upon just such a moment of unexpected joy—a commuter boldly belting out "Lady Marmalade" with unmatched enthusiasm and a surprisingly good voice. It was as if the universe was nudging me to notice the humor woven into the chaos of our daily grind. His impromptu performance stood as a beacon of vivacity amidst the typical scene of phone-absorbed commuters, inviting us all to lighten up and embrace life's cosmic jokes.

This episode is a reflection on the beauty of sheer absurdity and the weight we often place on life's challenges. Through sharing my amusing train encounter, I hope to remind you, and myself, that not everything needs to be taken so seriously. Sometimes, mountains we build from molehills can be transformed into moments of shared laughter and understanding. Even with a voice still recovering from illness, I felt compelled to share this story and encourage you to find lightness in your days. Let's embrace these cosmic winks and spread a little joy.

Here’s the updated version with the featured individuals added:
