    What the Ex-Husband’s Death Taught Me About Healing, Forgiveness, and Freedom

    In this week’s episode of Dear Goddess, I’m opening my heart and sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my journey.. the part I never imagined I’d speak about publicly. Earlier this year, I received the message that the ex-husband, the man I was once married to, the relationship that catalyzed my healing journey, had taken his own life. What unfolded after was an initiation through grief, forgiveness, and deep soul reclamation. This isn’t an episode about pain. It’s about alchemizing it. It’s about how even the most devastating moments can become portals to deeper healing, self-love, and liberation. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 The moment that changed everything and the grief that cracked me open in unexpected ways ⚡ What it means to meet your healing at new depths, even years after leaving a toxic or abusive relationship 🌹 How the nervous system holds trauma long after we think we’ve “moved on” 💋 The sneaky ways ego shows up in healing (and how I caught mine trying to make his death about me) 🌀 A beach ceremony that became a sacred completion, setting him free, and setting myself free This episode is for the woman who’s loved deeply, lost herself in love, and is learning what it means to come home to herself again. It’s for the one who’s ready to rewrite the story, not from blame or bitterness, but from embodied compassion and power. If you’ve ever wondered how to find beauty inside the heartbreak, or what healing truly looks like when it’s not aesthetic, this conversation will hold you through it because grief isn’t the end of love. It’s an invitation to love yourself deeper than ever before. 🌹 SUPPORT THE SHOW: 💫 Please subscribe, rate, and review to help support the show! 🎧 New episodes drop every Tuesday!

    Navigating the Sacred Space of Uncertainty

    In this week’s episode of Dear Goddess, we’re diving into the sacred space of uncertainty,  the in-between, the void, the place where your next evolution is being birthed even when it feels like nothing’s working. After hosting my first workshop in Costa Rica (a vision I’ve held for so long), I found myself reflecting on the magic that unfolds when we follow our soul’s desires even when we don’t know what’s next because you’re not always meant to know. The mind wants clarity, timelines, and control, but the soul wants surrender, trust, and expansion. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 Why doubt and uncertainty are sacred invitations to deepen your trust ⚡ The difference between fear that protects you and fear that keeps you small 🌹 How to navigate the void, the in-between spaces where old versions of you are dissolving and new ones are being born 💋 The role your nervous system plays in holding more pleasure, safety, and possibility 🌀 Embodiment practices to regulate your energy and anchor into safety when you don’t have all the answers This episode is for the woman who’s in transition, the one standing between chapters, feeling both fear and faith, craving clarity but being called to surrender. If that’s you, this conversation will remind you: You’re not lost. You’re being rewritten, and the uncertainty you’re resisting might just be the space where your next miracle is forming. 🌹✨ SUPPORT THE SHOW: 💫 Please subscribe, rate, and review to help support the show! 🎧 New episodes drop every Tuesday!

    When Life Feels Like a Blender on High Speed: The In-Between Season & Finding Alignment in the Messy Middle

    In this week’s episode of Dear Goddess, I’m sharing the real and raw side of growth.. the part that doesn’t look like polished Instagram posts or “perfectly aligned” spiritual timelines. 🌹✨ My life has felt like it’s been tossed in a blender lately with equal parts joy, alignment, disconnection, and old patterns resurfacing, and what I’m learning is this: the messy in-between is not failure. It’s alignment. Growth often feels like paradox. You can feel deeply connected and completely lost. You can feel like you’re breaking down and also breaking through. That tension is the initiation. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 Why feeling scattered, disoriented, or “off” doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re evolving ⚡ How to hold yourself with compassion when old patterns, emotions, and doubts resurface 🌹 Why your nervous system feels pulled between past and future in seasons of big expansion 💋 Practices that bring you back to your body when life feels overwhelming 🌀 What my own “blender season” in Costa Rica is teaching me about recalibration and trust This episode is for the woman who’s in the messy middle,  the one questioning everything, feeling the weight of old patterns, and wondering if she’s doing something wrong. If that’s you, this conversation will remind you: you’re not broken, you’re breaking open. Slide into my DM & let me know what you thought about the episode!

    Why Fun Is the Most Spiritual Thing You Can Do: Sacred Fun as the Missing Piece in Your Healing Journey

    In this week’s episode of Dear Goddess, I’m sharing why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is.. have fun. ✨ Yes, healing, self-love, and embodiment are sacred but so are the nights of laughter, spontaneous adventures, and saying yes to life outside of the “serious spiritual work.” From surfing and fiestas to tattoos and new friendships, I’ve been reminded that our joy is medicine, our pleasure is a portal, and fun is what keeps our nervous system regulated and our inner child alive. This episode is an invitation to reclaim play as a spiritual practice and remember that we came here to be human, not just to heal. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 Why fun and play are nervous system medicine (and essential for sustainable healing) ⚡ The shadow side of taking spirituality and self-growth too seriously 🌹 How joy, pleasure, and laughter actually raise your frequency 💋 Why fun is integration and the missing piece in many women’s healing journeys 🌀 A behind-the-scenes glimpse into my own adventures in Costa Rica and what they’re teaching me about balance ✨ A reminder that you don’t have to choose between devotion and desire because your soul wants both This episode is for the woman who’s been doing the inner work, the healing, the shadow diving and is ready to breathe, laugh, and actually enjoy the life she’s creating. If you’ve ever wondered whether fun is “spiritual enough,” this conversation will set you free.

    I Moved to Costa Rica! What Happens When You Follow Your Truth Instead of Trauma

    In this episode of Dear Goddess, I’m pulling back the curtain on my move from Bali to Costa Rica, not just the flights, boxes, and logistics, but the soul journey that brought me here. This isn’t just a story about relocating to a new country, it’s about what it really takes to follow your intuition, trust your higher path, and build a life that feels like truth instead of trauma. From leaving behind comfort, to navigating the gritty in-between, to reinventing myself again and again, this episode is an initiation into what it looks like to walk your soul path in real life (spoiler: it’s not always pretty, but it’s always worth it). Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 The unglamorous side of following intuition (and why most people stop before they leap) ⚡ Why endings, transitions, and the “in-between” are the most powerful parts of your evolution 🌹 How leaving toxic relationships and survival patterns set me on the path of self-love and sovereignty 💋 The grief, healing, and reinvention that came with saying yes to new chapters even before I felt fully ready 🌀 Why your soul will guide you to places and choices your mind never would ✨ The truth about what it means to reinvent yourself not to become someone new, but to unbecome what you’re not This episode is for the woman who feels the pull toward something more but is stuck in the fear of letting go. If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to create a life that matches your soul, this one’s for you.

    Your Most Turned-On Life Starts Here: Diving into Pleasure

    We’ve all been taught that pleasure is something you earn.. after the work is done, after the healing is complete, after you finally get it “right.” But what if pleasure isn’t the reward at the end of the journey.. what if it’s actually the fuel for everything you desire? In this episode of Dear Goddess, I’m sharing the unfiltered truth about pleasure, not as some fluffy luxury, but as medicine for your nervous system, a portal into your power, and the missing ingredient in creating a life that actually turns you on. From my own reflections returning to one of the most transformational places in my healing journey, to the edges I’m leaning into while birthing The Pleasure Experiment, this conversation is a reclamation of aliveness, sensuality, and radiance. Inside this episode, I share: 🔥 Why pleasure feels unsafe for so many women (and how to rewire your nervous system to actually receive it) ⚡ How survival mode and self-sabotage keep you addicted to struggle, even when you’re craving joy 🌹 What it really means to live a “turned-on” life, beyond sexuality and into your everyday radiance 💋 Why pleasure isn’t found in a man, a vacation, or a paycheck but rather it’s found in you 🌀 How to use pleasure as a portal into healing, shadow work, and deeper embodiment ✨ What to expect inside The Pleasure Experiment, a 30-day initiation into your most magnetic, alive, radiant self This episode is for the woman who’s tired of going through the motions, living on autopilot, and outsourcing her joy, and is ready to reclaim pleasure as her natural state of being.

    The Gift of Being an Empath, Developing Emotional Mastery, & WTF It Means to Feel Your Feelings

    We’ve all heard “you gotta feel it to heal it” but have you ever wondered WTF that actually means? In this episode of Dear Goddess, I'm getting brutally honest about what it actually means to "feel your feelings" beyond the Instagram wellness quotes and into the messy, transformative reality of emotional mastery. Speaking from the trenches of my own emotional overwhelm (thanks, family dinner meltdowns), I'm breaking down why being more triggered doesn't mean you're less healed, how to stop thinking your emotions instead of feeling them, and what somatic healing actually looks like in practice. Whether you're an empath drowning in emotions, someone who's been suppressing feelings for decades, or anywhere in between, this episode is your guide to developing true emotional sovereignty. Inside this episode, I share: 🌊 Why being more triggered doesn't mean you're less healed (it actually means the opposite) 🎣 How to use triggers as opportunities for healing instead of reasons to feel broken  🚫 The toxic positivity trap and why "good vibes only" is actually spiritual bypassing ⚡ Understanding emotions as energy that needs to move through you, not get stuck in you  🧠 How self-awareness can actually cock block your healing (and what to do instead)  💔 The empath experience: having a "genetic upgrade" to feel but zero instruction manual  ⚖️ Wounded feminine vs. wounded masculine patterns in emotional regulation  🫖 Why you need nervous system capacity before diving into deep emotional work  🧬 Why you don't actually "release" emotions  This episode is for the woman who's tired of being a victim to her emotions and ready to develop true emotional mastery, the kind that allows you to feel it all without being destroyed by it.

    The Truth About People Pleasing & Good Girl Conditioning & a Visit From Your Inner Teen

    In this episode of Dear Goddess, I'm getting real about the deep-rooted patterns of people-pleasing and "good girl conditioning" that live in our nervous system and how they show up even after we think we've healed them. Drawing from my own experience of how family relationships can activate our oldest wounds, I'm diving into the messy, complicated reality of healing, where our biggest triggers become doorways to our deepest freedom when we meet them with curiosity instead of judgment. Whether you're a recovering people-pleaser, struggling with good girl conditioning, or noticing old patterns resurface in challenging situations, this episode offers both understanding and practical tools for true liberation. Inside this episode, I share: 🔄 Why we heal the same wounds over and over again (and why that's completely normal and necessary) 🧠 The difference between inner child and inner teen healing and why your sassy inner teen needs attention too ⚡ People-pleasing as a nervous system survival strategy not just wanting to be "nice" 🛡️ How the "fawn response" keeps us trapped in patterns of self-abandonment 📊 Why mindset work is only part of the healing equation and what the other 80% actually is 🔍 A real-time example of recognizing people-pleasing patterns (featuring a family barbecue story!) 🌊 The shame loop that keeps good girl conditioning alive and how to break free 💪 Practical steps for embodying authenticity without fear of disappointing others ✨ How ordinary moments become portals for profound healing and transformation This episode is for the woman who is ready to stop managing everyone's perceptions of her and start living authentically even when (and especially when) it feels scary, messy, and imperfect.
