  • Mental Clarity Toolkit Herbs, Supplements, and Simple Habits for Mental Clarity (ADHD + Autoimmune Friendly)
    Mar 4 2026

    This week I’m recording in the beginning stages of my new home studio, boxes and all, but I wanted to stay consistent and get this episode out.


    I'm talking mental clarity, brain fog, and focus, from the “lowest hanging fruit” (sleep, hydration, nervous system support, nature) to the tools and plants that genuinely help me as someone who’s neurospicy, has dealt with Lyme-related/autoimmune cognitive stuff, and lives a very multi-passionate life.


    I also share two breathwork resets you can do anywhere, plus a planning tool called Neuralist that’s been helping me turn a brain dump into an actual plan.

  • The Practical Magic of Creative Business: From Vision to Reality with Sophie Miller of Wild Iris Collective
    Feb 24 2026

    The Practical Magic of Creative Business: From Vision to Reality with Sophie Miller of Wild Iris Collective


    This week I’m sharing the first two conversations I recorded live at the Love In Focus event at BlendCo in Denver, hosted by the wonderful Katie Puc.


    In a time when it feels like our nervous systems are constantly being thrown into chaos, I’m feeling called to tend to what’s right in front of us. The rooms we sit in...the communities we can actually touch...the hearts we can hold right in front of us. I went in expecting quick five-minute chats. Instead, I spoke with four humans and each conversation opened like a hidden door. We went super deep, quickly and beautifully.


    In this episode, you’ll hear from Sophie, founder of Wild Iris Collective, a luxury floral and workshop experience rooted in sustainability, courage, and trusting your gut. This conversation explores the journey of creativity and collaboration in the context of floral design and sustainability. The speaker shares insights on how personal experiences, such as the impact of COVID-19, led to a passion for plants and a career in floral design. The discussion emphasizes the importance of balancing creative vision with practical planning, trusting one's instincts in decision-making, and the value of community and collaboration among creatives. Additionally, the conversation touches on the healing properties of plants and the significance of embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.


    The other conversations will follow as bonus episodes.
