    Are You a Sheep or a Cat?

    What if the way you move through the world isn’t about right or wrong…but about instinct? Which spirit animals are you embodying? This week’s episode started with a simple front-porch conversation and turned into an unexpected metaphor about sheep, cats, and the quiet ways we give our power away without even realizing it. This episode is an invitation to get curious with yourself about what's driving you, and what it feels like to trust yourself enough to walk your own path. Because maybe it’s not about fighting the herd. Maybe it’s about remembering you were never meant to be herded in the first place. So… are you a sheep? Or a cat? Send me a text! Welcome to Star Potential — where we explore what it means to live your evolution in real time.

    The ACE Morning: A Practice, Not a Routine

    In this episode of Star Potential, I’m sharing a new way to meet your mornings--not as a rigid routine to perfect, but as a relationship with yourself. Many of us have explored morning practices built around discipline, productivity, or physical outcomes. And while those approaches can absolutely “work,” they don’t always feel peaceful or sustainable. In this episode, I offer a different lens: starting your day from connection, awareness, and the feeling you actually want to embody in your life. I’ll walk you through the ACE Morning with three simple anchor points: Arrival, Connection, and Expression — that help you begin your day by listening to your body, your heart, and your inner wisdom. No strict schedule or performance, just a flexible practice that meets you in real life. If you’re craving a softer, more intuitive way to start your day — one that supports your nervous system, your soul, and your long-term growth — this episode is for you. How do you want to meet yourself tomorrow morning? Send me a text! Welcome to Star Potential — where we explore what it means to live your evolution in real time.

    Welcome to the Other Timeline

    Most people think the world needs saving. But what if the real shift begins somewhere else entirely? In this Season Two premiere of Star Potential, I’m inviting you to step onto another timeline — one where we learn to create the peace we want to see in the world from the inside out. Not by escaping reality, not by fixing everything...but by understanding our inner state as the starting point for real change. This episode sets the tone for the season: practical, playful, and deeply lived. I’ll share why we are energetic beings first, how collective emotion spreads faster than calm, and why regulation is a form of leadership. Plus, I’ll guide you through a simple frequency experiment you can try right now to shift your state in minutes. If you’ve been feeling the world’s intensity lately, this is your invitation to walk a different path — together. ✨ In this episode: Why fear and overwhelm don’t heal the worldHow your frequency sets the tone of your day and lifeThe three foundations of inner leadershipA tiny experiment to return to calm in real timeWhat to expect in Season TwoStep onto the Other Timeline. Let’s begin. If this episode sparks something in you, you might be in the middle of a soul shift of your own.

    51. The Season of Remembering: A Year of Voice Reclamation, Intuition, and Integration

    This episode marks one full year of Star Potential with a reflective season finale. This first year wasn’t about building something perfect or polished. It was about remembering. Remembering my voice. Remembering my intuition. Remembering who I am beneath the roles, identities, and stories in which I once lived. With gratitude, I’m pausing to honor what this first chapter truly was: the continuation of my heroine’s journey. I answered an internal calling without knowing where it would lead. Stories became portals, vulnerability became a teacher, and listening became just as important as speaking. This episode is both a release and a threshold — an honoring of what carried me here, and a soft opening toward what’s next. If you’ve been walking alongside me this past year, thank you. And if you’re in your own season of remembering, I hope something here meets you exactly where you are. 00:00 Introduction and Reflection 00:17 Welcome to Star Potential 01:00 Personal Evolution and Lessons Learned 10:13 The Heroine's Journey 15:10 Connection with Nature and Intuition 18:19 Embracing Vulnerability and Authenticity 23:15 Looking Forward to Season Two 24:10 Final Thoughts and Gratitude 29:55 Closing Remarks and Call to Action Send me a text!

    50. The AI Manifestation Lesson: How Clarity and Focus Shape Your Reality

    In this episode, I share the surprising manifestation lesson I learned while playing with AI image generators, and how it perfectly mirrors the way our intentions shape our reality. Just like AI reflects the clarity (or vagueness) of our prompts, the universe reflects the clarity (or vagueness) of our energy. Here’s what I dive into: How manifestation actually works when you understand your energy as the “prompt” the universe responds toWhy vague intentions create vague results — in AI and in your real lifeHow focusing on the right things shifts your external world faster than effort or forceThe energetic mirror principle: you can’t change the reflection until you change the signal you’re sendingHow social media algorithms mimic universal law and show you what your attention is programmingThe difference between dreaming and worrying — and why one expands your possibilities while the other contracts themHow to use visualization and sensory detail so your mind and body feel safe in the vibration of your desiresWhat “thoughtforms” are and how they shape the energetic frequency around youWhy grounding yourself first makes you more capable of handling real-life challengesHow to align your energy with what you actually want, instead of unconsciously manifesting from fearThis episode is your reminder that manifestation isn’t mystical wishful thinking — it’s energetic clarity. When you focus your attention with intention, get specific about what you desire, and tune your energy to match it, the universe mirrors that precision right back to you. Send me a text!

    49. What Travels Reveals When Life Gets Too Automatic

    In this episode, I’m unpacking the clarity that arrived while traveling in Serbia with my family. Getting out of my routine showed me which parts of my life had slipped into automation—and which ones I actually want to bring back with intention. I share what it felt like to communicate without shared language, why my “outsider” status became a strength, and the surprising reminder that play is one of my deepest purposes. This is an honest look at perspective, presence, and the little adventures that end up shaping everything. Send me a text!

    48. Too Hot, Too Much, Too Fast: A Lesson in Listening to Your Body

    Feeling “off” after something that should have been good for you? In this episode of Star Potential, I share the surprising aftermath of a spontaneous hot yoga class—an experience that revealed just how quickly the body speaks when we’re in the wrong season of intensity. We explore why certain wellness practices that once felt supportive can suddenly become depleting, how to recognize when your body is shifting into a chapter of nourishment and gentleness, and the simple signals we tend to ignore when life gets busy or loud. You’ll learn:  • How to identify when your body is in a different energetic season  • Why dehydration, headaches, or tension can be honest invitations—not failures  • The spiritual simplicity of slowing down and tuning inward  • When to shift your practices from “pushing” to “replenishing”  • Why listening to your body is a core part of intuition, alignment, and your soul shift If you’ve been wondering why something that used to work suddenly… doesn’t, this episode will help you trust your inner signals, honor your current chapter, and choose the practices that actually support your highest frequency.

In this episode of Star Potential, a simple drawing session with my daughter teaches a powerful lesson about creation, flow, and inner alignment.
