    Healing Broken Hearts and Reclaiming Hope EP32

    Are you feeling heartbroken, heavy, or even outraged after the recent election results? Do you feel the ache of seeing a world divided and the weight of knowing that, once again, humanity’s progress toward inclusion and compassion feels so far from reach?  You’re not alone.  In this episode, I open my heart to those who are grieving the deeper implications of these election outcomes—not as a political discussion, but as an exploration of humanity, compassion, and the ways we can heal. This isn't about parties or debates; it’s a call to embrace the stories and lived experiences that often go unheard, but which resonate across the world, across boundaries, and touch the lives of so many. If you’re struggling to process the reality of a society that feels more divided than ever, if you're searching for a way to feel the depths of your emotions while finding strength and joy, this episode is for you.    In this episode, I’m talking about: The feelings of heartbreak, fear, and confusion after the election results in America. Creating a space to listen to real human stories, focusing on shared humanity rather than political divisions. Greif over policies that threaten basic rights. The opinions that are shaped by fear and a lack of personal connection with those who are different than you.  My commitment to awakening women to their strength and autonomy. The patriarchal structures that suppress women’s potential. Choosing self-care as a means of resilience against oppressive forces. Creative expression and activism instead of consuming negative media. The balance of mourning and proactive steps forward. Encouraging others to understand opposing perspectives. Let’s hold our broken hearts close, let’s feel our rage, and let’s remember that while grief is part of our journey, joy and resilience are our most powerful forms of resistance.   The Muse Community: The Muses.

    Building Safe Spaces for Women EP31

    Imagine standing before over 300 women, each ready to go on a transformative journey, a journey I crafted with every ounce of my soul. As I recount the magic, the challenges, and the moments that took my breath away, I felt a sacred energy begin to rise in a room full of women. It was like witnessing a concert, a healing ceremony, and a celebration of sisterhood all woven into one beautiful, unforgettable gathering.   I recently hosted my first-ever live event, Magnetic.    From the immaculate synchronicity of our team, to the vulnerability and courage of each woman in the room, Magnetic went beyond my wildest dreams. And what moved me most was seeing women connect and feel seen in ways many had never experienced before.    This episode isn’t just a recap—it’s an invitation for you to feel the energy, and to understand how this work opens up a space for every woman’s inner wisdom to come alive.   In this episode, I’m talking about: My first live event, Magnetic, and the divine alignment that made it feel "holy." Seamless logistics and powerful energy creating a smooth experience for 300+ women. The intentional blend of ceremony, connection, and fun—like Broadway meets church. Designing the event to foster sisterhood, lasting friendships, and community. The four-pillar framework meeting women’s needs for ritual, ceremony, and embodiment. Creating an environment for lasting transformation beyond just cerebral learning. Training a skilled team to hold space and support attendees’ experiences. The power of ritual and movement in enabling breakthroughs and deep healing. Affirming feedback showing that this unique approach resonated deeply with attendees. Building a global movement for women’s healing, empowerment, and growth.   If you're curious about how this kind of profound work can reshape your own life, press play. And if this resonates with you, share it with a sister who might need to hear it too. ❤️   The Muse Community: The Muses.

    Redefining Beauty in Midlife EP30

    Five years ago, I made the decision to let go of coloring my hair, a choice that I realized was so much more than a style change. It became a journey of challenging cultural expectations, facing fears of rejection, and ultimately reclaiming my sense of self.   This was such a deeply personal yet universal choice—a journey through fear, anger, and finally, freedom as I chose to embrace my natural gray hair.    This transformation wasn’t just about hair—it was about stepping into my authenticity, redefining beauty, and finding a new level of confidence that spilled into every area of my life. It’s my story of shedding layers of societal pressure to reimagine womanhood in midlife on my own terms.   If you’ve ever wondered why we feel the need to conform to beauty standards that don’t resonate with our true selves, or if you’re curious about how letting go of those standards can transform your life, this episode is for you.    In this episode, I’m talking about: My journey into aging naturally. Questioning societal expectations for women around beauty. Fear of judgment with aging.  The differences between aging men and women.  How the choice to go gray led to self-discovery and growth.  The energy and belief behind our choices. Encouraging women to question the “why” behind beauty choices. Health benefits of cutting out hair dye chemicals.    Join me to explore this liberating experience and the power of embracing who we are, fully and unapologetically.   The Muse Community: The Muses.

    The Feminine Balance of Surrender and Strength EP29

    Have you ever found it difficult to just let go and allow someone to truly care for you? You might feel a tug inside that tells you to say, “No, I’ve got this,” or that whispers, “I don’t deserve this much.” Yet, there’s a longing, a voice inside asking if there could be a different way, a way where we allow ourselves to feel cherished, supported, and seen. That’s what we’re here to talk about. As women, we often carry the weight of expectations, feeling driven to produce, to serve, and to be endlessly giving. Yet, so rarely do we permit ourselves to fall back, soften, and let someone else carry the load, even when it’s offered.  In this episode, I’m opening up about my own journey with surrender – the fears, the resistance, and finally, the joy and freedom found in simply allowing my partner to give to me.    In this episode, I’m talking about: The struggles with surrender and receiving The burden of traditional feminine expectations Living with masculine and feminine energies The importance of surrendering in relationships Overcoming cultural and personal blocks of receiving How to embrace receiving and reimagine womanhood   Join me as we redefine what it means to be a woman – one that is magnetic, powerful, and beautifully open to receiving.

    Honoring Every Phase of Womanhood EP28

    There’s no doubt that women experience so much, both physically and emotionally. From our monthly cycles to the unpredictability of menopause, it's astounding how much we endure and yet thrive through.    Have you ever wondered why it feels so hard to live under the expectations placed on us as women? The pressure to hide our natural cycles, to never show signs of aging, and to always be in service to others? If you're exhausted by that narrative, you're not alone—and I'm here to tell you there's another way.    In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with my period as I walk through menopause, including the raw and unfiltered truth about how intense, beautiful, and sometimes overwhelming this journey can be. This episode is an emotional tribute to our cycles, and it’s also an invitation to reconnect with what it means to be unapologetically you.   In this episode, I’m talking about: Women’s bodies and their menstrual cycles The societal pressures on women My personal experience of perimenopause and menopause The reality of menstrual cycles How to create a cycle-aligned life Viewing menopause as a rebirth Rituals of a menstrual cycle   I hope my story resonates with you, wherever you are in your own journey. Listen in to hear how we, as women, can honor ourselves and rewrite the story society has handed us.

    Moving Through Rage EP27

    Trigger warning: This episode covers topics of sexual violence. If you do not feel resourced to listen to this, I completely understand. If and when you feel ready, I am offering something extremely helpful, particularly if you are a victim.   I have worked with women from all across the world and of varying demographics for twenty years. I have rarely met a woman, both in my personal and professional life, who has not undergone some sort of sexual violence.   Because so many women have experienced sexual violence, it’s now normalized by society, becoming a part of how we describe ourselves. And yet, despite the tragic, common occurrence of these horrendous acts, there is still a significant lack of proper space, safety, and tools for victims to process through the trauma.   This episode invites you to explore a new perspective on working through rage as you heal so you can claim your powerful force as a woman.   In this episode, I’m talking about:    Why women need a safe space to express their rage. Many victims of sexual violence lack the opportunity to release and process their experiences. Trauma unknowingly affects every aspect of daily living. Talk therapy doesn’t provide closure. How to move through rage and fury after experiencing sexual violence. Sensual pleasure is a healing pathway to trauma, even though that sounds counterintuitive.  Unhealed sexual violence moves through our lineage. Pay close attention to the places, spaces, and people who discourage you from feeling your fury.   You don’t have to live under patriarchal standards that are keeping you silent. You can heal through the trauma and become the most expansive and magnet version of yourself.   Register for MAGNETIC: FIRST-EVER women-only event in Phoenix, AZ, November 2nd and 3rd, 2024   The Muse Community:  The Muses.

    A New Era of Female Leadership EP26

    Let’s go back to a place that shaped me profoundly—sitting in the pews of my childhood church, eyes tracing the stained glass, inhaling the scent of incense, and feeling a sense of peace and unity. It was a time of innocence and connection, where rituals felt sacred, and everything in that moment seemed to be just as it should be.   But as I grew older, that sense of peace started to crack. I began to question: where were the women? Why was their presence confined to the sidelines, never speaking, never leading? Why was our unique strength and wisdom absent in the stories shared, in the sermons given? These questions sparked a journey of deconstruction, peeling back layers of religious, cultural, and social conditioning that, for too long, kept women small and silent.   This episode is an invitation to explore a longing, to uncover the subtle but powerful forces that shaped our beliefs about womanhood, and to step into a fuller, more vibrant expression of who we are meant to be.   In this episode, I’m talking about: How an early love for community and rituals can shape our understanding of spirituality. Questioning the absence of women in leadership roles. Honoring women's cycles. The deep longing for more meaningful connections. The journey of awakening the feminine within.  Creating magnetic spaces. Sisterhood and community. The work of empowering women is a lifelong journey.   This is a call to all of us, no matter where we come from or what our experiences have been. It’s a journey back to ourselves—to the divine wisdom we have always carried within.    Register for MAGNETIC: FIRST EVER women-only event in Phoenix, AZ November 2nd and 3rd 2024.    The Muse Community: The Muses.

    Aging as a Queen EP25

    Have you ever paused to question why so much of society's value is placed on the youthful face of a woman? The makeup and skincare ads alone are enough to confirm this idea. But why do we see age as something to hide rather than embrace?   In this episode, I’m unraveling the narratives that keep us trapped in fear of aging—an endless pursuit of external beauty that can consume our minds, bodies, and souls.   This isn’t just about wrinkles or gray hair. It’s about how we, as women, have been conditioned to believe that our worth is determined by how pleasing we are to the world—how ageless, how perfect, how “princess-like” we remain. But what if we challenged that notion? What if we embraced the wisdom and strength that comes with age, stepping into our roles as queens, confident and radiant from the inside out?   In this episode, I’m talking about: Why the princess fears aging. The pressures of the male gaze. How patriarchal standards influence women to believe that their value lies in their appearance. The dangers of obsessive beauty practices. Breaking the cycle and questioning societal norms. If you’re tired of playing by rules that weren’t written for you, and you’re ready to redefine what it means to be a powerful, authentic woman, then I invite you to listen to this episode. Because it’s time to let go of the princess and crown the queen within.   Register for MAGNETIC: FIRST EVER women-only event in Phoenix, AZ November 2nd and 3rd 2024.    The Muse Community: The Muses.
