What if every time you prioritize others over yourself, you’re abandoning a part of you that needs to be seen and healed?
Today, I explore the concept of self-abandonment and how it often stems from unresolved wounds from childhood. From people-pleasing tendencies to prioritizing everyone else’s needs over our own, I dive deep into how these patterns play out in everyday life and the toll they take on our well-being. I share insights on recognizing these behaviors, the root causes of self-abandonment, and how to start the journey back to valuing yourself fully.

Don't Let Them with Alyse and Robyn - ADHD is a Superpower, Mexico Retreat and How We Feel Energy 54:19

8 days ago54:19

54:19

“We feel energy because we are energy. That’s not a spiritual concept—it’s just science.” In this month's Don’t Let Them episode, Robyn and I are serving up another round of real talk—raw, intuitive, and a little bit spicy. We start by reflecting on the quantum shifts that happened during my recent Mexico retreat—from massive energetic releases to divine downloads—and what it really means to lead from embodiment, not performance. Then, we dig into how Robyn experiences energy in real time, and how her science background helps bridge the mystical and the practical in a way that actually makes sense. Plus, we unpack why ADHD is a superpower , especially for those of us who are visionaries, creatives, and energetic leaders. What the world labels as a disorder is often just a mismatch between your gifts and outdated systems. I take Robyn's What's Your Soul Contract Hidden Inside Your ADHD Symptoms? quiz, which is pretty amazing! If you’ve ever felt “too much,” too sensitive, or like you just don’t fit the mold—you’re not broken. You’re wired for a different way of being. This episode is your permission slip to stop dimming your light and start honoring your unique frequency.

Breaking Hidden Ancestral Patterns with Kat Daou 52:46

22 days ago52:46

52:46

“When you start to look at your family system through the lens of energy, you can finally see what’s been hidden in plain sight.” In this powerful episode, I sit down with family systems specialist and spiritual mentor Kat Daou to unravel the unseen ancestral patterns that shape our behavior, beliefs, and emotional responses—often without us even realizing it. Kat’s work is rooted in Family Constellation Therapy, and she brings such a grounded, insightful energy to this conversation. We dive into what it really means to do ancestral healing—not just intellectually, but at the soul level—and how these energetic patterns are often inherited, buried, and playing out in the background of our lives. Kat shares how she began to uncover the deeper roots of her own story and how her sensitivity became a superpower in both her personal and professional journey. If you've ever felt like you're carrying emotions or struggles that aren't fully yours, or noticed patterns repeating in your family no matter how much inner work you do, this conversation is going to land deeply. Healing ancestral trauma doesn’t require blame—it requires awareness, curiosity, and a willingness to feel what’s been unfelt for generations.

Don't Let Them with Robyn & Alyse - Why we named this series Don't Let Them and Making Fun of LinkedIn 1:01:47

6 weeks ago1:01:47

1:01:47

“Don’t let them fool you into thinking there’s something wrong with you because you can’t do the thing they say is so easy.” This is the second episode of Don’t Let Them , my monthly series with Robyn McKay—and in true form, we’re coming in hot. We’re talking about why we named the series Don’t Let Them (yes, it’s a cheeky nod to Mel Robbins), how pop-spirituality can actually do harm, and why oversimplified advice like “just let them” can become another form of gaslighting when it lacks nuance and context. Robyn and I dive deep into what it means to hold real integrity in the personal development space, how so many leaders are just regurgitating recycled content, and why so much of the advice being sold today isn’t trauma-informed—or even that helpful. We also take a playful detour into the world of LinkedIn, sharing our personal pet peeves, our biggest “icks,” and how spiritual entrepreneurs are missing the mark with cold DMs and Barbie-pink GIFs. This is your permission slip to stop trying to fit yourself into boxes that were never made for you. Let’s stop pretending the five-second rule is all it takes to heal. (00:00) Intro (01:28) In today's Don't Let Them episode...

(19:51) "If I can, you can" - It's never that simple (27:46) Plagiarism in the self-help industry (33:48) "There's nothing new under the sun" (35:37) Baljit's music on Spotify (36:28) The Neo Profile, Human Design, and astrology contributions (39:50) LinkedIn: The boring social network (46:47) Cold DMs and building genuine connections (53:57) Thought leadership and making LinkedIn cool **WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD** When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.

Ayurveda, Trauma, Psychedelics and Consciousness with Dr. Nibodhi 57:01

"Darkness doesn't resist light. If you're in a dark room, all you have to do is turn on a very little candle and now you can see again. If people are seeing darkness in the world, make the light brighter" In this deeply illuminating episode, I sit down with Dr. Nibodhi—a longtime friend, Ayurvedic practitioner, naturopathic doctor, and devoted student of consciousness. Our conversation is a soul-stirring journey through the intersections of trauma, spiritual awakening, ancient medicine, and modern-day healing tools like psychedelics and breathwork. We explore the foundational wisdom of Ayurveda, not just as a physical health system, but as a path toward remembering who we truly are. Nibodhi shares his personal story of early childhood trauma, the unconscious patterns it created, and the moment of awakening that allowed him to stop seeking and begin exploring . From mystical plant medicine ceremonies to navigating grief and disconnection, we talk about how healing really happens—through presence, integration, and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we’ve long abandoned. If you've been curious about the true purpose of your healing journey, or felt pulled to deeper levels of embodiment and self-trust, this episode is going to land deeply. It’s not about feeling better—it’s about becoming better at feeling. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Intro (01:21) Dr. Nibodhi: Growing up with natural medicine and understanding Ayurveda (04:36) The body-mind connection in Ayurvedic wisdom (09:37) Uncovering core trauma (15:26) Breaking free from patterns (18:57) The sacred use of psychedelics (25:39) Reincarnation, the cycles of life, and figuring out who we are (37:31) Global transformation: An Ayurvedic perspective (50:05) Becoming better at feeling and personalized healing approaches **WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD** When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.

How You End the Cycle of Trauma (and don't pass it onto your kids) 22:27

8 weeks ago22:27

22:27

"Simply by you addressing your own trauma, you won’t pass it on to your kids." In this episode, I’m diving into something that’s been coming up with a lot of my private clients lately—how to shift your relationship with your kids and stop unconsciously passing your trauma on to them. Whether your children are toddlers or in their 40s, this is for you. After working for over a decade as both a mental health professional and educator, I’ve developed a very clear lens for how I see children—and more importantly, how I support parents. If your child is having behavioral issues, emotional dysregulation, or is simply shutting down, I want you to know: the change doesn’t start with them. It starts with you . In this episode, I unpack how our unconscious wounds show up in our parenting, how our expectations get projected onto our kids, and why true transformation happens when we meet our own unmet needs first. I also share powerful stories from my own journey as a school counselor, as well as how I’m navigating these lessons in real time with my own son. If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or triggered by your child’s behavior, this is an invitation to see it all through a new lens—and break the cycle of generational trauma for good. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Intro (01:37) The powerful shift that transforms your family dynamic (03:41) How self-transformation rewrites your child's story (06:21) The power of safe spaces for kids (10:39) What your child's actions are subconsciously trying to tell you (13:41) Breaking the capacity trap: The role of parental trauma (15:41) The unseen baggage (18:00) Meeting your kids where they are (not where your wounds need them to be) (19:02) Breaking the cycle of trauma: From awareness to action **WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD** When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.

Common Misconceptions About Trauma 21:56

9 weeks ago21:56

“Unmet needs create wounds and that creates trauma... and that will affect you later on in life in ways that you don’t understand.” What is trauma? The way I see it, trauma is an experience or series of experiences that were very overwhelming emotionally, physically, or mentally, too much for you to process at the time. You might have stuffed it down, suppressed it, or disassociated. In this grounding solo episode, I unpack common misconceptions around trauma. Trauma is a widely used term that often becomes a buzzword without a foundational understanding. I want to take you back to basics. Drawing on my 24 years working in healing spaces and as a mental health professional, I'll share my unique perspective. Your wounded inner child expects past hurts to happen again. Healing becomes simple once you understand your core wound pattern, and learn how to address it. Addressing the root of the tree changes all the branches. How do you know if unprocessed trauma is impacting your life now? Push play and find out! This episode is an invitation to view your current challenges as opportunities to heal parts of yourself ready to be reconciled, reclaiming your consciousness.

We unpack the critical need for discernment in the spiritual space, especially as AI deepfakes make it harder than ever to tell what's real online. And yes, we tackle that polyamory controversy (featuring Aubrey Marcus), sharing our take on its perceived manipulative energy and calling out the performative aspect of spirituality we see playing out. Plus, we discuss the tricky "hero's journey trap" of using trauma as public performance.

What does true authenticity really mean? with Jennifer Spor 1:00:28

11 weeks ago1:00:28

1:00:28

“We tend to view our truth like it’s a destination—but it’s a devotion. It’s a daily choice to wake up and embody it, even when it’s hard.” In this powerful and thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with spiritual mentor and multidimensional healer Jennifer Spor to unpack the real meaning of authenticity—beyond buzzwords and spiritual fluff. Jennifer shares how her own journey of healing mother and sisterhood wounds, reclaiming her power, and walking away from manipulative coaching dynamics shaped the way she now lives and leads. Together, we explore why so many women drop their power in certain relationships, how to know if a mentor is truly aligned with your soul, and how to sharpen your intuition so you don’t fall into ego-driven traps disguised as “opportunities.” This episode is a reclamation—a deep dive into what it looks like to live your truth, even when it’s inconvenient, triggering, or wildly unpopular. We talk about the traps of perfectionism, fear-based leadership, and how to lead yourself with radical integrity in business, relationships, and everyday life. If you’ve been questioning your path, navigating a season of awakening, or trying to find your footing after giving your power away to someone who didn’t deserve it—this conversation will feel like both a mirror and a lighthouse. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Intro (01:36) In today's episode...

"I was just feeling bad for myself… like, what's wrong? How do I figure this out? I just feel like nothing is gonna change for me. But I said yes to the work, and everything started to shift." In this inspiring and emotionally honest episode, Elshia Vasquez returns to share her story of going from self-doubt and anxiety to sustaining her business within just three months of private coaching with me. When she first reached out, Elshia was freshly out of a counseling job and struggling with self-worth, visibility fears, and the weight of unprocessed childhood wounds. But something in her said yes. Yes to diving deeper. Yes to healing. Yes to finally building what she was meant to create. What followed was a transformational private container where we addressed her inner child wounding head-on, cleared emotional patterns tied to worthlessness and procrastination, and built the tangible business foundation she had always envisioned. In just three months, she landed long-term clients, created her freebie, grew her email list—and perhaps most importantly, rewired her nervous system and confidence from the inside out. If you’ve ever felt frozen by fear, unsure how to move forward, or held back by invisible emotional blocks, Elshia’s story will remind you: it’s never too late to choose yourself, heal at the root, and watch your purpose take flight.

How Dr. Leah Taylor Healed her Core Wound in The Mothership 1:05:24

13 weeks ago1:05:24

1:05:24

"I knew what I wanted, but there was something inside me that was like, ‘No.’ And for the first time—I listened to that voice." In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Leah Taylor— PhD in Mind-Body Medicine, somatic psychologist, healer, and creator of Embodied Groove . Together, we reflect on her powerful journey of transformation inside The Mothership , where she confronted her core wound of unworthiness, released old survival patterns, and reclaimed her creative power. Leah opens up about the turning points that defined the last year—from walking away from a job that didn’t meet her value, to building her own thriving client base, to ultimately returning to work under her terms. She also reveals the internal shifts that allowed her to stop sidelining her true soul’s work— Embodied Groove —and finally step into it as her legacy. We talk about entrepreneurship through the lens of healing: how honoring your body, emotions, and intuition are the keys to sustainable success, and why inner child work is non-negotiable when you’re building a soul-led business. This conversation isn’t just about strategy—it’s about sovereignty.

"Guard your consciousness because our consciousness is our most most precious thing that we have." Welcome to the grand finale of the Bewitched series. Robyn and I wrap up this intense journey, reflecting on lessons learned and closing the book. We discuss the ethical responsibility we felt and the personal cost of sharing these stories. I share 11 patterns of manipulation I tracked across guest stories, explaining how they relate to childhood relational trauma and exploiting "soft spots", like creating trauma bonds and gaslighting. Robyn adds personality insights, contrasting the Dark Tetrad with the Light Triad . We touch on how traits like openness and agreeableness, combined with trauma, may make accomplished, intuitive women susceptible. Discernment is crucial. We also address the question of why Betty's identity was not revealed. We're excited to continue podcasting, collaborating on new content focusing on ethics, integrity, and standards in the healing and spiritual leadership space. We want to thank all of the women who wanted to come forward with their stories and experiences. And also, everyone who showed their support, caring and interest in the series. You rock! This episode is an invitation to safeguard your consciousness, become aware of red flags, do your deeper work, and keep the conversation going so these patterns don't happen in this way again.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Baljit's Story 1:44:36

15 weeks ago1:44:36

1:44:36

"I had no sexual energy. I couldn’t feel anything. That’s when I knew—we were siphoned." In this final and explosive interview of the Bewitched series, Baljit Rayat steps forward with a harrowing story that spans nearly two decades. As the first student to ever learn the Akashic Records from Betty, Baljit didn’t just witness the rise of a spiritual leader—she lived through the full descent into chaos, control, and cult-like manipulation. What began in 2006 as a path of spiritual awakening and mentorship slowly evolved into a twisted entanglement of gaslighting, psychosis, and psychic entrapment. Baljit recounts the signs she missed, the energy shifts she ignored, and the moments when her body began showing symptoms—weight gain, lost libido, mental fog—of being psychically infiltrated. But nothing prepared her for the Santa Fe retreat, where psychodrama erupted, euphoria blurred into confusion, and something darker came through under the guise of sacred ritual. From being telepathically pressured to rejoin programs, Baljit unveils how Betty’s tactics became coercive, paranoid, and surreal. She opens up about the soul-crushing aftermath, the moment she finally blocked Betty, and the freedom that followed. This episode is about reclaiming your energy, breaking the spell, and waking up to the truth.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Brenda's Story 1:47:55

16 weeks ago1:47:55

1:47:55

"I love you, so I'm going to beat you… then tell you I love you again." That’s how Brenda describes the psychological undertow that pulled her into—and kept her in— Betty’s web for nearly a decade. In this piercing episode of the Bewitched series, Brenda Reiss joins us to unpack her long, layered experience with Betty , dating all the way back to 2014. What started as a business mentorship for a corporate escapee turned into an eerily familiar cycle of emotional manipulation, shame-laced power plays, and spiritual gaslighting. Brenda takes us through every twist: the way Betty shamed clients into MLM schemes under the guise of financial empowerment, the bizarre telepathic “nudges” that seemed to lure her back whenever she tried to walk away, and the chaos of energetically loaded retreats where nothing was clear, yet everything felt controlling. This episode hits hard with real-life cult tactics masquerading as coaching: isolating clients, confusing group dynamics, trauma bonding masked as healing, and the ever-slippery line between mentor and manipulator. Brenda’s story is a masterclass in the slow, subtle erosion of personal power—and her emergence from that fog is both a cautionary tale and a powerful reclamation of sovereignty.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Elizabeth's Story 1:45:09

17 weeks ago1:45:09

What do you do when the mentor you trusted becomes the monster you never saw coming? Today we have Elizabeth Purvis on the show. Elizabeth thought she had found her match: a magnetic spiritual leader with a bold vision, unshakeable confidence, and a promise to unlock the deepest realms of transformation and magic. But behind the veil of light and leadership, something darker simmered. In this gripping episode, Elizabeth recounts her long and complex relationship with Betty, tracing it from fascination to disillusionment—and ultimately, reclamation. Drawn in by Betty’s charisma and promise of elevated consciousness, spiritual mastery, and access to powerful circles, Elizabeth entered with eyes wide open. What she didn’t expect was how quickly admiration would blur into confusion, betrayal, and manipulation. We follow Elizabeth’s path through cognitive dissonance, spiritual gaslighting, and professional entanglement—including being hired by Betty herself. As the cracks widened, Elizabeth faced the truth: this wasn’t a sacred mentorship. It was a trauma-fueled hierarchy, propped up by smoke, mirrors, and energetic puppeteering. But this isn’t a story of defeat—it’s a story of discernment and power reclaimed. With brutal honesty, Elizabeth shares how she finally broke the spell, buried the illusion, and spoke the words that needed to be said. TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Intro (00:53) In Today's Episode...
