What does it really mean to live a soul aligned life, and why does it often feel so hard, even when I know it leads to more peace, joy, and freedom?

In this episode, I break down what a soul aligned life actually is (beyond spiritual buzzwords), why it can feel like everything is "falling apart" when you are actually waking up, and how to start consciously partnering with the part of you that is 99.99% Source instead of the 0.01% that is ego.

I share practical, grounded tools for navigating big life transitions, sitting with uncomfortable emotions without getting swallowed by them, and working with your triggers so they become portals to growth instead of proof that you are broken.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What a soul aligned life really is
• How to shift from "life happens to me" to "life happens for me"
• How challenges and transitions can deepen your alignment
• Simple practices to sit with emotions and use presence to calm anxiety
• How your outer life mirrors your beliefs and how trigger work realigns you

In this episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth April, author of Your Anxiety Is Giving Me Anxiety. We explore a powerful reframe of anxiety, not as something to fix or eliminate, but as an intelligent signal from the nervous system pointing toward healing and deeper self-awareness.

Elizabeth shares her framework for identifying whether anxiety is rooted in the past, present, or future, why high-functioning tendencies often come from overstimulation, and how her Renew Technique helps move out of survival mode and into lasting nervous system regulation, trust, and conscious awareness aligned with living from your Adult Chair.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why anxiety can feel contagious and how we absorb the emotional states of others

• How to identify whether your anxiety is driven by past experiences, present overwhelm, or future fear

• Why common coping tools often manage symptoms without addressing the root cause

• How the Renew Technique helps you recognize, neutralize, and work with anxiety

• The role of physical and digital clutter in nervous system overload

• How to use awareness to regulate your body before anxiety escalates

• Why personal growth and healing often happen through challenge, not comfort

In this episode, I'm joined by behavioral coach and human design expert Emma Dunwoody, author of Human Design Made Simple. Emma and I explore what human design really is (beyond the "woo"), how it maps your unique energetic blueprint and why understanding your type can feel like a deep exhale of self-permission.

This conversation is both practical and inspiring. We talk about why so many of us are exhausted and burned out, how women's energy cycles differ from the 24-hour "hustle" model, and how human design can guide the way you work, parent and build relationships. Emma shares powerful stories from her own life and business, and I share what I discovered in my own chart. Together, we explore how human design can help you shift out of shame and "shoulds" and move into a more aligned, authentic way of living, very much in sync with what it means to live from your Adult Chair.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• What human design is and how it combines ancient wisdom and modern science into an "energetic blueprint"

• A simple breakdown of the 5 human design types and what each is here to do

• Why so many Generators and Manifesting Generators end up burned out

• How women's ~28-day energetic cycle clashes with the push-to-produce 24/7 model

• How understanding design can transform your relationships and parenting

• What I learned about my own chart and why it felt so validating

As we step into 2026, I've been reflecting on why so many New Year resolutions fall apart and why real change can feel so elusive, even when we want it deeply. After a year of shedding old patterns and facing familiar triggers, many of us are ready for something that truly feels different.

I explore lasting change is not about trying harder or setting better goals but about creating an identity shift from the inside out. When who you are begins to change, your life naturally follows, and this year no longer has to repeat the last.

In this episode, I share:

• Why New Year resolutions rarely stick and what actually works

• How triggers point us toward the deeper work that creates real change

• What it means to make an identity shift rather than a surface level goal

• A simple four step process to help you embody the version of yourself you are becoming

• How to lead yourself from your Adult Chair in everyday life

In this episode, I'm joined by one of our incredible Adult Chair® Master Coaches, Shannon Yonge. Shannon shares her powerful story of how she went from living life for everyone else, constantly saying yes, ignoring her needs, and feeling disconnected from herself, to reconnecting with her intuition, setting boundaries, and stepping fully into her sovereignty.

This conversation is deeply personal and incredibly relatable. We talk about how tuning into the body can guide us back to our truth, how to break free from people-pleasing, and why learning to say no, without needing to explain, can be so life-changing. Shannon's journey is such a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we start living from our Adult Chair.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Shannon's experience leaving an emotionally abusive marriage and reclaiming her voice

• How listening to her body helped her reconnect with her intuition

• The difference between authentic connection and false connection

• How Shannon stopped saying yes to everything and began honoring her needs

• What it really means to live in sovereignty and why this matters so much, especially for women

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of suicide, PTSD, and trauma. Please listen with care and step away if needed.

Today, I'm sitting down with someone I've known for years and whose story moved me deeply. Mike Zeller joins me for a powerful, raw, and eye opening conversation about trauma, healing, nervous system regulation, and the life changing breakthroughs that helped save his wife, his marriage, and his family.

Mike opens up about the traumatic season that began when his daughter was born. His wife, a three time suicide survivor with complex childhood trauma, spiraled into severe PTSD and depression triggered by pregnancy and early motherhood. For nearly two years, Mike lived in constant fight or flight trying to support her while feeling completely lost about how to help.

This episode takes you inside their journey, the tools that finally created real change, and the multimodal healing approach Mike now uses to support others through trauma, depression, and burnout.

In this episode, we explore:

• Mike and his wife's powerful story and what was really happening beneath the surface

• How trauma hijacks the nervous system and why traditional tools weren't enough

• What Mike learned about somatic therapy, PTSD, and the subconscious mind

• How NAD therapy works and why so many people are deficient without realizing it

• The role psychedelics played in opening the nervous system for deep healing

• The importance of integration and nervous system support after a therapeutic journey

Today, I'm diving into a topic that has touched so many of you and continues to show up in my own life in the most surprising, beautiful ways. We're exploring the signs, synchronicities, and gentle nudges from the universe that remind us we're never walking this path alone. From repeating numbers to feathers, birds, coins, and even unexpected phrases from strangers, signs are everywhere when we slow down enough to notice them.

Whether you've been seeing 11:11 on the clock, finding pennies in random places, or simply sensing that something bigger is guiding you, this episode will help you understand how your angels, guides, and loved ones communicate with you and how to trust the messages already showing up around you.

In this episode, I share:

• How to recognize the signs that your angels and guides are sending you

• Why nothing in your life is random and why coincidences don't really exist

• What the "illuminated path" is and how to know your very next step

• How to ask for your own personal, specific sign (and what happens when you do!)

• A simple way to discern whether a sign is meant for you
