How to Be Patient While Waiting For Your Manifestations [REWIND]
Have you ever felt impatient while waiting for your manifestations to come through? Same, friend. And I’m talking all about it in this rewind episode from March of 2022.
Though I didn’t consciously know what manifestation until my 20’s, I realized I’d been manifesting my entire life. In fact, we all have. We all have the power to manifest, and we are all constantly manifesting whether we’re aware of it or not.
And when we become aware, we’re able to intentionally tap into our manifestation power. I discuss my personal experiences learning about and understanding manifestation, some manifestations I’ve had come through, and how I’m learning to be patient and prepare for my manifestations to come through in the physical realm.
I also talk about…
My experiences with manifestation from childhood to now.How to adequately prepare for your manifestations while you’re waiting for them to come through.The importance of divine timing and being clear on what is and isn’t for you.Practices that have helped me manifest.Why understanding your human design can help you become a more powerful manifestor.

Time Abundance: Why Time Is More Valuable Than Money [REWIND]
What is your most valuable asset? Chances are, it’s your time. Many people treat time as a scarce resource — something it feels like we never have enough of. But what would happen if we looked at time from a place of abundance?
This episode (that originally aired in September 2022) explores the idea of time abundance. Instead of viewing time as a race against the clock, we’re aiming to look at time as a valuable asset that we can allocate, invest, and spend in ways that align with our values.
I also talk about…
Why time is more valuable than money.The ways our time and money intersect.What time abundance is and how we can be more abundant with our time.Strategies for managing our time to create more space to focus on what matters to us.Resources (contains affiliate links):

Healing Through Rest: Balancing Your Nervous System [REWIND]
In this rewind episode, we dive deeper into what it means to feel "rested."
There’s a lot of messaging encouraging us to rest and be soft. But what should we do if we’re trying to take it easy, but still don’t feel rested? What even is rest? I’m closing out our Modalities of Healing series with a solo episode about how we can heal through rest, and what our minds and bodies need to feel rested (in addition to adequate sleep).
With so much happening in the world, it can be natural to have a “tired but wired” feeling when we’re constantly on alert. This episode explores what rest is on a physiological level, and shares techniques we can use to start feeling more rested to support our healing.
I also talk about…
Your “fight or flight” and “rest and digest” systems, and how they work together.Habits and techniques to help you feel more rested.How to create better mind-body synergy.Defining what it means to be “soft” for yourself.The importance of taking a break.Resources:
