    The Art of Borrowing Time: How to Be Here When Life Pulls You Everywhere

    When life pulls you in every direction, how do you return to yourself? In this episode, Veronica explores the surprising link between presence, attention, impermanence, and creativity. Drawing from Coleridge’s philosophy of borrowing, Pink Floyd’s iconic lyrics, and the tenderness of The Last Meeting Theory, she reveals how attention becomes the true currency of your life, and how you can reclaim it. The Art of Borrowing Time is a meditation, a philosophy, and a gentle call to live more intentionally in the moments that matter. Connect with Veronica - Send her a message!

    The Illusion of Safety: Why You Stop Trusting Yourself

    When trusting yourself feels impossible, it’s usually because you’ve been taught to hand your safety, your instincts, your inner knowing, over to someone or something else. But what happens when the safety we’re told to rely on keeps us disconnected from the one place real safety actually lives: the nervous system? This episode is an invitation to reclaim the inner source of safety that has always been yours, and toward the end, I guide you through a 4-minute grounding meditation to help your nervous system settle, reconnect, and return to itself.

    You Can’t Heal What You Refuse to See: The Mirror Never Lies

    A reflection on seeing, healing, and returning to truth. You can’t heal what you refuse to see, and the mirror never lies. You can’t transform what you keep pretending doesn’t matter.   In this reflective episode, Veronica explores the power of honesty, the courage it takes to face yourself, and how the mirror of life keeps reflecting what’s ready to be seen.  This talk invites you into a deeper dialogue with your own reflection. The parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding, the truths you’ve been softening, and the patterns that repeat until you finally meet them with presence.  When you stop turning away, the mirror becomes your teacher... revealing not just your pain, but your power.  Connect with Veronica - Send her a message!

    The Spiritual Money Myth Blocking Your Abundance

    If belief alone created abundance, why do so many struggle? Most spiritual teachings say “money is neutral.”  But is that really true? In this episode, I’m unpacking the money myth most spiritual communities get wrong and why belief alone isn’t enough to create real abundance. If this episode speaks to you, please follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who’s wrestling with the money blocks. Episode Home Page Connect with Veronica - Send her a message!

    Why Clinging to Old Solutions Keeps You Exhausted

    Exhaustion doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means your plan has run its course. In this episode, I share why every solution has a lifespan, how clinging to old strategies keeps you drained, and how to reclaim your energy by re-planning. If you’ve ever felt stuck, repeating what once worked but no longer does, this conversation will help you shift perspective, meet yourself in discomfort, and find the courage to begin again. Note for podcast listeners: This episode includes a visual I created called The Spiral of Renewal. If you’d like to see the diagram, I’ve added it to my website. You don’t need the visuals to follow along, but if you’re a visual learner, it may deepen your experience.  Connect with Veronica - Send her a message!

    When Hustle Culture Blocks Creativity: Finding the Courage to Revolt

    We’ve been told to hustle harder, grind more, and measure our worth by productivity. But here’s the truth: hustling isn’t resistance... it’s control. Your creativity is the real act of revolt. In this episode, I explore why creativity is inseparable from justice, freedom, and survival. Drawing on the wisdom of Nawal El Saadawi, we’ll look at how systems of fear, trauma, and hustle culture silence imagination, and how reclaiming creativity becomes a form of resistance. If you’ve ever felt drained by hustle culture, pressured to perform, or cut off from your creative birthright, this episode is your reminder: creativity is not optional. It’s survival. It’s revolt.

    The Stillness Within: Resting Without a Story Meditation

    This episode is a little different. It’s both a reflection and a meditation. Not a guided visualization, not another story layered on top of your experience, but a reminder.  The meditation begins at 06:53 and lasts about 7 minutes. For the best experience, listen in a quiet space, where you can simply sit and be with yourself.   For safety, please don’t listen to the meditation while driving or doing anything that requires your full attention.  This is for you if you’ve been moving through life on autopilot, overwhelmed, distracted, or untethered, and longing for a simple way to come back to yourself.  Connect with Veronica - Send her a message!

    The Greatest Illusion: Thinking You Can Escape Yourself

    How Disillusionment, Shadow Work, and Integration Unlock Real Change We’re told to reinvent ourselves, to shift identities, to “be delusional.” But here’s the truth: real transformation doesn’t begin with bypassing… it begins with disillusionment. In this episode, Veronica explores why identity shifting often fails, why “being delusional” isn’t enough, and how shadow work and soul work open the doorway to authentic change. You’ll learn why trying to escape yourself only leads to repetition, and how meeting your wounds, patterns, and programming is the sacred first step to freedom. Through insights from psychology, spirituality, and direct experience, this conversation invites you to stop running, face yourself fully, and discover how delusion — when rooted in disillusionment — can become a true vision.
