TRUST THE FEELING | Trusting your gut when the words and actions don’t add up.
Unpacking Myself
There is a shift happening in the world where people are moving from just relying on their 5 senses to trusting the other senses we have been given such as our intuition and gut. We hear more and more people say “I can’t explain it but I just have a feeling” but it can be hard to trust our gut if those around us demand an explanation andd information. It can make us doubt our gut or dismiss it because it doesn’t make sense. In this episode I dive into all of this - how to lean into your gut, trust it and gain confidence in moving through life with our gut feelings at the forefront. If...

Unpacking Myself
Have you ever found yourself wanting to speak up about something but you decide not to? It could be at work, with friends, with your spouse, at the store, at a restaurant.

OUR SHARED HUMANITY | How we lose sight of our humanity when we define ourselves—and others—by roles, titles, and identities.
Unpacking Myself
You know what we have become really good at doing? Coming up with labels and boxes to put people in. We want to pack a punch and invoke emotion with the least words possible. What better way than to call people names that puts them into a box. Eliminates the need to even have a rational, intellectual argument. In this episode, I unpack how easily we lose sight of our humanity when we define ourselves—and others—by our roles, beliefs, or identities. From “mom” or “entrepreneur” to political or religious boxes, these labels make us forget the deeper essence of who we are at our core....

INTENTIONALITY | The cost of not being intentional is greater than you think.
Unpacking Myself
Ever wake up and realize you’ve been living on autopilot — saying yes to things you didn’t choose and following a path someone else set for you? In this episode, I unpack a quote by Brené Brown that got me thinking about what it really means to be intentional — and why we sometimes avoid it. Let’s get honest about what (and who) we’re prioritizing, so we can either make changes or drop the guilt and own our choices. Tune in for a dose of clarity and calm confidence. Let’s unpack together! Sometimes all you need is a nudge and someone to ask the questions so you can...

FOLLOWING THE CROWD | Do you have control of your reality, or are you following theirs?
Unpacking Myself
It has never been more important than now to be in touch with your inner self and knowing so that your reality is an expression of you and not those around you.

This episode will invite you to reflect on how much of your reality is influenced by the crowd versus YOU. Let’s unpack together! Sometimes all you need is...

PSYCHOLOGICAL VS PRACTICAL MOTIVE | What really drives your actions—the need itself, or the story behind it?
Unpacking Myself
Have you ever noticed the difference between doing something because it’s necessary versus doing it because you want to be seen or because of insecurities? In this episode, I unpack the distinction between practical motive and psychological motive, and how this subtle shift can be the root of stress, disappointment, or peace in our lives. I share stories from a weekend at a Krishnamurti ashram, conversations over morning chai with my in-laws, and the insights that came from those moments. Check it out! Let’s unpack together! Sometimes all you need is a nudge and someone to ask the...

LIFE UPGRADE | How and why the universe pushes us beyond what’s working in our life even though it feels “good enough.”
Unpacking Myself
In this episode, I unpack a lesson from my old boss who told me, “don’t get too comfortable with the status quo.” At the time, I thought everything was great so why ‘fix what ain’t broken?’ I later realized he was pointing to something deeper: when we settle into “good enough,” we often miss out on the more life has for us. I talk about how life nudges us and gives us opportunities to upgrade if we pause and notice the opportunity. These moments can feel hard, uncomfortable and confusing like a reboot, but they’re actually invitations to grow, expand, and experience...
info_outlineI recently noticed that our idea of who we are at this very moment may not be fully based in reality. Why is this? There is who we think we are, who we are in this moment and who we want to be. All 3 of these things are not always aligned. We are often transitioning between the old us and the new us. What happens to our idea of who we are during these periods? Spiritual teachings say “know who you are” but I realized this could be misleading. In this episode, I dive into all of this and how better understanding what “know who you are” means can actually help you actually better know who you are, and ways that have helped me.
