309: Balancing Spiritual Growth and Life’s Challenges
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to live in the “in-between.” That space where you’re deeply connected to your spiritual side yet fully in your human experience. I share how easy it can be to want to escape into the spiritual world because it feels peaceful, safe, and expansive… but how that can sometimes pull us away from actually living our lives. I reflect on my own tendency to go inward, to isolate, and how I’ve been learning that growth isn’t about choosing one or the other — it’s about learning how to hold both. This episode is about understanding that...

308: The Universe Isn’t Testing you
Woo Woo Wednesday
This episode is about understanding that when things start coming up after a shift, it’s not a test. It’s not the universe working against you. It’s things being revealed so you can see them clearly, decide what’s truly aligned, and let the rest go. I share a perspective on big life shifts and what happens when you finally let go of control. I talk about how I realized there were things I had been trying to force from a place of pressure, identity, and ego — and how releasing that control created space for what was meant for me. If you’re in a season where things feel...

You're Invited! I host a Free LIVE monthly Woo Woo Wednesday Zoom call on the second Wednesday of each month with listeners just like you, where we take these conversations off the podcast and into real life.

306: How To Find Your Inner Genius
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, I’m talking about the idea of genius, and not in the way we’ve been taught to think about it. I share how I discovered my own “genius” through something that came really naturally to me, and how it became a core part of my work and business. I also get into the difference between what we’ve been told genius is (something intellectual or earned) versus what the origin of the word says it is. This episode is an invitation to start looking at your own natural abilities differently and to recognize that the things that come easily to you might actually be the exact...

305: This Is Why You’re Burnt Out
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, I’m talking about the current energy we’re all moving through and how it’s been showing up for me in a very real way. With all the intense Aries energy lately, there is a lot of external momentum, but not all of us are meant to operate at the same pace, especially when you look at it through the lens of Human Design. Some people are built for consistent output, and others (like me) aren’t — and that’s not a problem to fix. This episode is really about finding your own rhythm, staying in your lane, and trusting your body over the pressure to match everyone...

304: Are You in a Constant State of Self-Improvement?
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, I am talking about the importance of allowing time for personal development and growth to "marinate" rather than constantly seeking the next thing to fix or improve. We can get so caught up in the constant pursuit of improvement that it prevents us from enjoying what's already working well. There is a different energy between using personal development as a "lifeline" out of discomfort and engaging in it out of genuine curiosity. This is your reminder to slow down, embody what you’re learning, and give new practices time to develop before moving on to the next...

303: How To Leave Your Comfort Zone With Confidence!
Woo Woo Wednesday
Every Second Wednesday of The Month! In this episode, I am sharing a recent meditation. I received guidance about the importance of embodiment over intellectual understanding in making life decisions. I talk through my current life transition of leaving my comfort zone for new opportunities, and rather than relying on research and information first, I am now being shown that the way to move forward in this next era is to trust my bodily sensations when evaluating opportunities. I break down the concept of embodiment, explaining that, as we all shift away from intellectual processes, we...

302: Nothing You’ve Done Is Wasted
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, I’m sharing a realization that came to me during meditation about how our life experiences are never random or wasted; they’re actually building on each other the whole time. I talk about how watching my son move from gymnastics into tackle football made me see how skills from one season of life prepare us for the next, even when we don’t realize it. I also share stories from my own journey, from spray tanning educator to speaking, and from my husband’s path in construction, to show how the things we once thought were unrelated were actually preparing us all...

301: What If You’re Being Stretched (Not Tested) By The Universe?
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my surrender experiment and sharing the surprising limiting belief that surfaced while I was in it. I talk about how fear and anxiety can actually point us straight to the subconscious blocks running the show, and how journaling and meditation helped me realize I wasn’t being thrown into the deep end — I was being gently stretched. I also share how you can use tools like Human Design or Gene Keys to spot your own growth edge. Because real growth isn’t sudden immersion… it’s intentional expansion. And I truly believe...

300: Surrendering to Synchronicity
Woo Woo Wednesday
In this episode of Woo Woo Wednesday, we’re diving into a series of synchronicities that felt too aligned to ignore. What started as a few “hmm, that’s interesting…” moments turned into a deeper exploration of surrender, divine timing, and the hidden order of the universe. Inspired by The Surrender Experiment book, I share how letting go of control has opened my eyes to how life is constantly organizing itself behind the scenes. This episode is about trusting the bigger picture, recognizing synchronicities when they show up, and allowing life to unfold without needing to force or...
info_outlineWhat if the emotions you avoid… are actually the doorway to freedom?
I had an inner child meditation recently that didn’t go the way I expected. Instead of comfort, I was met with darkness, and my first instinct was to run. But for once, I stayed. And that moment revealed something I’ve never seen so clearly:
It’s not the feeling that hurts us; it’s the running.
Most of us were never taught how to sit with discomfort. We were taught to cope, push it down, avoid it, or distract ourselves with productivity and positivity. But when you keep running… your emotional body fills up. And eventually, there’s no more room to hold anything new.
This episode isn’t just about inner child work, it’s about what happens when you stop running from the feelings you’ve buried.
In this episode, we explore:
-
Why avoiding emotions makes them stick.
-
What happens when you stay instead of change or distract.
How buried emotions can block guidance, clarity, and creativity. -
A different way to meet your inner child — without fixing anything.
If you’ve ever felt full… overwhelmed… or tired of holding everything together — this one might be for you.
