    When the Supermoon Says It’s Time to Let Go

    Send a text to the show!  This episode is a whole experience with equal parts healing, revealing, and beautifully aligned. In honor of last week’s supermoon, we’re diving deep into what full moons are actually here to do: illuminate your truth, close the chapters you’ve outgrown, and pull you closer to your higher self. I share a bit about a personal chapter that just closed for me, what it revealed, what it required, and why choosing my higher self was the only option that made sense. You’ll hear how this supermoon energy mirrors the world of wine: clarity, timing, emotional pressure, and the moment something finally rises to the surface. Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ What the supermoon amplifies in your emotional world ✨ Why endings can feel heavy and holy at the same time ✨ How clarity works like the sediment in a bottle when everything eventually settles ✨ Ripeness, timing, and the “harvest moments” in your life ✨ What emotional purging really looks like (and why it’s normal) ✨ How to recognize when you’re being pulled toward your higher self ✨Why certain endings show up to realign you, not punish you And you’ll also get 5 grounded steps to help you: Release what’s closing, Honor what’s shifting, Return to your emotional center, Move toward alignment without fear, and Step into your next season clean, clear, and steady.This is a full-body exhale of an episode that is comforting, clarifying, and deeply supportive. And during this episode I’m sipping on an off-dry Riesling from Mosel, Germany, which is the perfect wine to pair with reflection, release, and emotional clarity. If you're in a season of endings… revelations… or deep spiritual upgrades, this episode will land exactly where you need it to. Tune in. Take what resonates. Release what’s ready to go. And trust the new chapter that’s already forming. Ready for deeper alignment in real life? I have upcoming retreats in Orlando, Portugal, Netherlands & Belgium, and Tuscany, and one of them might be your next aligned yes.

    Do What Feels Good: Healing, Play, and the Power of Unconventional Joy with Abby Albaum

    Send a text to the show!   What if the thing that heals you isn’t logical, traditional, or something anyone else would ever pick for themselves? In this episode of Spiritual Growth & Wine, Denise sits down with Abby Albaum, a creative entrepreneur, mental health advocate, former marketing director, and a full-time hula hoop artist of 16 years to talk about the kind of healing that doesn’t always “make sense,” but absolutely transforms you. Abby shares how hula hooping became her form of play therapy during a season of deep grief, and how that playful release eventually became her passion, her career, and her mission to help others reconnect to themselves. Together, we dive into: -The healing power of doing what genuinely feels good -Why your joy may look “out of the box” to others, and why that’s actually a good sign -How grief can crack us open and lead us toward the most unexpected parts of ourselves -The link between play, embodiment, nervous system regulation, and self-trust -How wine became an intentional, soulful ritual for Abby during her evolution -The freedom that comes when you stop over-explaining your choices -The magic of following what pulls you, even if no one else gets it yet This conversation is honest, warm, playful, and deeply affirming.  If you’ve ever been told your joy is “weird,” “random,” or “not serious enough,” this episode will feel like a permission slip to reclaim what lights you up. Grab your glass, open your heart, and let’s get into it. CONNECT WITH ABBY If you loved today’s conversation, go show Abby some love. She is genuinely one of the most refreshing souls doing wildly creative, meaningful work.

    When the Old You Starts Cracking Under Holiday Pressure

    Send a text to the show!   The holidays have a way of bringing out versions of us we thought we outgrew. You know the roles...the peacekeeper, the strong one, the fixer, the one who swallows their truth so everyone else can be comfortable. But what if the pressure you feel this season isn’t a setback… It’s a sign you’ve outgrown your old identity. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when the old you starts cracking, and why that is actually one of the most powerful signs of your growth. We’ll explore: How holiday expectations pull you back into patterns you no longer align withWhy your “old seal” (your old coping, your old boundaries, your old identity) can’t hold the new version of youHow corks in wine naturally break down over time, and why that’s the perfect mirror for your evolutionThe exact moment you know it’s time for a new boundary, a new energy, a new way of showing upHow to enter family spaces without shrinking, pretending, or abandoning the healed version of yourselfPractical steps for standing in your truth with softness and authorityThis is the reminder you didn’t know you needed before walking into holiday gatherings: You’re not here to play the role you once played. You’re here to show up as the truest version of yourself. Tap in, take a breath, and let this episode prepare you for a season that supports who you’re becoming -- not who you used to be.
