  • Ep 257 - Listening For Your Soul’s Purpose
    Feb 5 2025

    How can we navigate in this very noisy world according to our purpose if we can't hear ourselves? How do we know what our soul's purpose is? Do we even need to know what it is?

    In this week's episode, I give you tips on how to listen deeply to your heart. I also talk about dreams and your heart’s desires. How they are a compass for you. How your purpose plays a role in the collective imagination during a time of disintegration.

    Tune in to find your way, your path amidst the chaos

    In this week's episode it's all about connecting with the body. How can we stay centered and clear-minded during the crumbling of empire? How can we stay focused on our task at hand for liberation? It comes down to our relationship with our bodies and with each other.

  • Ep 255 - Growth (and evolution) hurts
    Jan 22 2025

    As we enter a portal into more darkness, we need to remember that change equals growth. And while nobody really talks about this, growth is painful. How can we stay steady and endure the discomfort, knowing that change is inevitable? How can we reframe challenges in order to learn from the pain? To learn that we are not being tested nor are we being punished. We are just being pushed to grow.

    Tune into this week's episode to learn how to stay steady in the chaos. How to be like a seed in the earth.
