What if the only thing standing between you and everything you've ever wanted is the belief that you don't deserve it? That's the powerful question at the heart of this transformative episode.
From a sun-drenched town in southern Italy, I'm diving into the fundamental reason why many of us struggle to manifest our desires despite our best efforts. The answer lies in our deepest beliefs about worthiness. When thoughts like "I can't have that job," "I'll never find that partner," or "That kind of success isn't for someone like me" dominate our internal dialogue, we unconsciously block what we want from entering our lives.
This episode walks you through a practical process for identifying and transforming these limiting beliefs. Through creating space for self-awareness, challenging false narratives, consciously choosing new empowering truths, and developing unwavering certainty in what you deserve, you can completely rewire your relationship with possibility. The journey requires patience – these beliefs have likely been with you for years – but with consistent practice, your new truth becomes your lived reality.
Perhaps most importantly, I share why detachment is crucial in this process. When we cling too tightly to specific outcomes, we create an energy of lack rather than abundance. Trust that what you're calling in – or something even better – is making its way to you at the perfect time. Your dreams are merely the starting point of your true potential, not the ceiling. The universe might be waiting until you're fully ready to receive something far greater than what you initially imagined.
Ready to step into your most vibrant, abundant self? Listen now, and remember – you can choose a different reality for yourself at any moment. Today is the perfect day to begin.

Why Women Should Stop Functioning Like Men 30:14

5 days ago30:14

30:14

Your body speaks a unique feminine language, operating not on the 24-hour clock that men do, but through a beautiful 28-day cycle that profoundly affects your energy, focus, creativity, and wellness. Yet most of us have never been taught to listen. When women try to maintain the same productivity, exercise routine, and social calendar every day of the month, they're fighting against their natural rhythms. This disconnect leads to the burnout, fatigue, and frustration so many women experience. Cycle syncing—the practice of aligning your activities, nutrition, and self-care with your menstrual cycle—offers a revolutionary alternative. This episode breaks down the science behind our cyclical nature, explaining how the four phases of our cycle (follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual) each create different hormonal landscapes within our bodies. Unlike men, whose testosterone and cortisol follow the same pattern daily, women experience dramatic fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, LH, and FSH throughout the month. These changes aren't weaknesses to overcome—they're intelligent biological rhythms to honor and leverage. Whether you struggle with irregular cycles, hormonal imbalances, or simply feel disconnected from your body's natural wisdom, this episode provides the foundation for understanding your unique feminine nature. Learn why tracking your cycle is as important as monitoring your blood pressure, and discover tools to begin this journey toward hormonal empowerment. By working with your body instead of against it, you'll experience more energy when it matters, deeper rest when you need it, and greater alignment with the divine cyclical goddess within. Ready to transform your relationship with your body and reclaim your feminine power? Subscribe now and join us for part two, where we'll explore practical ways to implement cycle syncing into every aspect of your life.

The Call to Embody Your Light 17:00

19 days ago17:00

17:00

Something profound is happening in our collective experience right now. Wherever we turn—to friends, family, communities, or the wider world—people are navigating significant challenges, transitions, and upheavals. That persistent heaviness you've been feeling isn't just your imagination; it's a shared energetic reality affecting us all. Through this podcast, I invite you to consider a powerful reframing: what if this period of difficulty isn't merely something to endure, but rather a sacred opportunity? When multiple aspects of life feel challenging or stagnant—whether through illness, relationship struggles, career setbacks, or witnessing global conflicts—we're actually being invited into deep realignment with our authentic selves. These moments of destabilization are clearing space for us to release outdated patterns, traumas, and attachments that no longer serve our highest evolution. Many of us feel helpless amid such widespread disruption, wondering how we could possibly make a difference. Yet the most powerful contribution we can offer isn't fighting every external battle—it's tending to our own spiritual alignment. By focusing on elevating your personal frequency and living as your fullest expression, you naturally affect everyone around you. Your heightened consciousness becomes medicine for your community. This is how we truly change the world—not through force but through embodiment. As you shine your light more brightly, you silently invite others to do the same, creating ripples of transformation that extend far beyond what you can see. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Everyone around you is experiencing their version of this global recalibration. By leaning on each other, sharing vulnerably, and staying rooted in your inherent strength, you not only make this challenging period more bearable—you transform it into the catalyst for your most powerful evolution yet.

Reclaiming Your Power 18:24

5 weeks ago18:24

18:24

Ever found yourself drowning in well-meaning advice, only to realize the one voice you're not listening to is your own? That's exactly where I found myself after three years of intensive healing protocols, countless supplements, and a never-ending state of "fixing" my body. This episode dives deep into my personal awakening moment when I realized I had been giving my power away to practitioners and protocols that, while initially helpful, no longer served my highest good. The breaking point came with a simple but profound insight: "Your body is tired of just being told what to do." Those words crystallized what I'd been feeling for months—a misalignment so strong that it was likely counteracting any physical benefits I might have been receiving. We explore the subtle ways we surrender our authority to others—seeking approval before making decisions, ignoring our body's signals because they contradict expert advice, or feeling inadequate in our knowledge. This pattern shows up differently for everyone, but the result is the same: disconnection from our most powerful guide—our intuition. Whether you're navigating health challenges, career decisions, or relationship crossroads, this conversation offers a gentle reminder that you hold the power to determine what's best for you. Your truth doesn't need to make sense to anyone else; it only needs to resonate with you. I share practical insights on recognizing your intuitive language and honoring it, even when it leads you away from conventional wisdom. Are you ready to reclaim your power and trust yourself again? This episode might just be the permission slip you've been waiting for.

Rethinking Success, Redefining Home 20:44

7 weeks ago20:44

20:44

Discovering a slower, more intentional way of living wasn't something I planned—it found me in a tiny village in southern Italy. After growing up in the outskirts of Los Angeles, where success was measured by prestigious schools, expensive cars, and designer clothes, I always felt slightly out of alignment. Something deep inside told me there was more to life than the superficial values that seemed to dominate California culture. That feeling led me on a winding path. First to Tennessee, which became home for nine years, and then—unexpectedly—to this small Italian town where my husband and I now own a home. The moment I first arrived here three years ago, my body responded with an unmistakable sense of rightness that I couldn't ignore. The Italians have a beautiful concept they live by called "Il Dolce Far Niente"—the sweetness of doing nothing. It's not about laziness but about the profound joy found in simply being present without the constant pressure to produce, achieve, or accumulate. What I've discovered through this journey is how powerfully our environment shapes us. The places we live, the cultures we immerse ourselves in, and the values they prioritize can either nurture or hinder the life we truly want to create. As my husband and I prepare to split our time between Italy and Dubai (yes, another adventure awaits!), I invite you to consider your own environment. What do you genuinely value? How do you want to live? Does where you currently call home support those values? There's no need to make dramatic changes all at once, but staying open to possibilities—whether they're across town or across oceans—might lead to a life more aligned and fulfilling than you can currently imagine. After all, we have freedoms previous generations couldn't dream of. Why not explore them? If something in this resonates, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if you're curious about life in Italy or our upcoming adventures abroad, you can follow my Substack below where I share more detailed reflections about living between cultures and the lessons they continue to teach me.

Embracing Your Timeline: Why Your Past Doesn't Define Your Future 37:54

14 weeks ago37:54

37:54

Ever catch yourself thinking you're "behind" in life? That gnawing feeling that everyone else is progressing faster while you're somehow falling short? You're not alone. These thoughts have been surfacing in my own life recently, prompting me to explore what lies beneath this universal human experience. Despite regularly discussing positive mindset and self-belief on this podcast, I'm still human—I question my abilities, wonder if I'm doing enough, and sometimes wish I'd started sooner on certain paths. What I've discovered is that while acknowledging these feelings is healthy, lingering in them isn't serving us. When we dwell in the past, it manifests as depression; when we constantly project into the future, we experience anxiety. The real power exists only in the present moment—right here, right now—where we can take tangible action to close the gap between our current reality and desired future. This realization comes at a significant time as I approach my Saturn Return—an astrological transit occurring around ages 28-30 that brings profound life lessons and restructuring. My Saturn Return falls in my 11th house (governing future visions and community) and in Aries (highlighting courage and leadership), perfectly aligning with these themes of personal evolution and finding my unique path. Remember: your journey isn't meant to mirror anyone else's. The experiences that feel like delays or detours are actually essential components of your specific evolution, building the resilience and wisdom you couldn't have acquired any other way. Instead of wishing things had happened sooner, what if you poured that energy into taking one step today toward the future you're creating? Wherever you are in your journey, know that you'll never be in this exact place again. There's something precious about your current circumstances, even as you work toward something new. I'd love to hear how you're embracing your unique timeline—share your thoughts and join our community of fellow travelers on this beautiful, messy human journey.

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Purposeful Life 13:26

17 weeks ago13:26

13:26

What happens when hard work meets lighthearted joy? My recent journey to Japan revealed a fascinating cultural paradox – the remarkable ability of Japanese people to balance intense dedication with an unexpected lightness of being. Despite their reputation for discipline and high standards, I witnessed people of all ages radiating joy, openness, and a refreshing approach to life that seemed to make them more youthful than expected. This balance stems from "ikigai," the Japanese concept meaning "a reason for being." It's your purpose—why you get up each morning—created from the overlap of your passions, strengths, vocation, and contribution to the world. This powerful concept explains how Japanese people embody seemingly contradictory traits: hardworking yet playful, devoted yet delighted, strong yet gentle. More importantly, it connects directly to Japan's status as a Blue Zone, where people commonly live healthy, active lives well into their 80s, 90s, and beyond 100—not just surviving but thriving with fewer chronic illnesses than their Western counterparts. Your ikigai might come from spiritual beliefs, family connections, professional pursuits, creative expression, or community involvement. As we grow and change throughout life, our sense of purpose naturally evolves too. The beauty lies in its flexibility and our ability to continually realign with what truly matters. I invite you to reflect: What gives your life meaning? What excites you to start each day? What fills you with purpose? Whether you're seeking your ikigai for the first time or navigating a transition that's shifted your purpose, this exploration can transform not just how long you live, but how vibrantly you experience each moment. Listen now to discover how purpose affects health, happiness, and the energy to embrace life fully.

Blooming Where You're Planted: A Seasonal Guide to Spring 24:04

18 weeks ago24:04

24:04

The world around us is awakening, and with it comes an invitation to align our lives with spring's natural rhythm of renewal. After winter's necessary hibernation, we're now entering a season brimming with fresh energy and possibilities. Unlike the somewhat forced productivity push of January, spring offers a more organic time to set intentions and embark on new beginnings. This episode explores the rich cultural traditions celebrating the spring equinox around the world. From the ancient Pagan goddess Ostara, honored with communal feasts and bonfires to commemorate increasing light and fertility, to Japan's national holiday Shunbun no Hi that kicks off the magical but fleeting cherry blossom season. These celebrations remind us that humans have always marked this seasonal transition as significant—a time when the natural world shifts from dormancy to vibrant growth. When we recognize ourselves as cyclical beings, constantly changing like the seasons, we can work with nature's energy rather than against it. Winter's quiet introspection prepares us for spring's surge of creativity and inspiration. Discover practical ways to honor this seasonal transition: taking nature walks, bringing flowers indoors, creating a spring altar, eating seasonal foods, setting fresh intentions, or planting seeds both literally and metaphorically. By tuning into spring's natural rhythms, we reconnect with the world around us and tap into our own innate capacity for renewal and growth. What seeds will you plant this season?

Speaking Yourself Well: The Language That Creates Miracles 19:40

20 weeks ago19:40

19:40

Have you ever considered how the words you speak might be shaping your health reality? The ancient wisdom "The words you speak become the house you live in" takes on profound meaning in our wellness journeys, especially when navigating health challenges. When faced with diagnoses like depression, diabetes, cancer, or autoimmune conditions, we often unconsciously claim these as part of our identity with phrases like "I am depressed" or "I have diabetes." This subtle linguistic pattern creates a powerful self-fulfilling prophecy that can keep us trapped in limiting beliefs about our healing potential. What if a simple shift in language could create space for profound transformation? Your body possesses remarkable self-healing mechanisms that science is still discovering. From healing paper cuts to regenerating cells, our physical forms are designed to restore balance and health. While medical knowledge is valuable, it's constantly evolving, and what seemed impossible decades ago is now commonplace. By acknowledging your innate healing capacity rather than surrendering completely to external prognoses, you reclaim your power in your healing journey. Drawing from my personal experience with two "incurable" genetic conditions diagnosed before age 24, I've witnessed firsthand how choosing an unconventional path of self-healing can transform supposedly permanent diagnoses into temporary chapters. This journey has taught me that healing miracles happen when we believe in them wholeheartedly while nurturing ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Whether you're currently navigating health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical language shifts that create psychological space for transformation. Join me in exploring how we can speak ourselves well and embrace the magic of our innate healing capacity.

Have you ever felt like your body was speaking to you, but you weren't quite sure how to listen? I am here to share the raw and revealing journey of my battle with an eating disorder and the path to healing through honoring my body's intuitive wisdom. This episode takes us through the highs and lows, examining the self-imposed 'laws' around food and health, and how these can often lead us away from truly nourishing ourselves. My personal transition to veganism, motivated by ethical concerns and culinary creativity, becomes a poignant part of the narrative, especially as I describe how this choice eventually led to unexpected health challenges. Confronted with signs that my body was struggling—hair loss, fatigue, and more—I found myself at a crossroads, considering a departure from a decade-long vegan diet. The insights from an acupuncturist and the necessary reintroduction of animal protein into my meals forced me to grapple with my identity and convictions. In this heart-to-heart, I share how this crucial shift underscored the need for flexibility in listening to our bodies' evolving needs, and how we can adapt our practices to support our health. As we wrap up, I extend a heartfelt thanks for joining me on this deeply personal journey, and I encourage you to keep the conversation going.

What if our greatest fear could become our most transformative guide? Join us on this week's Journey to the Soul podcast as we confront the profound and often uncomfortable topic of death. By contrasting Western and Eastern cultural views on aging and dying, we explore how reframing our relationship with death can lead to a more authentic and enriched life.

In the second chapter, I open up about my own emotional journey with my mom as she neared the end of her life. Balancing my desire to support her with the necessity of honoring my own boundaries, I discovered profound lessons in acceptance and forgiveness. I learned that living authentically and appreciating the fleeting nature of life is paramount. For those currently navigating grief, I offer heartfelt encouragement to embrace all emotions, seek support, and prioritize mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
