Nikki Sunshine joins me in this discussion on anger as a sacred internal signal that shows us where we feel injustice, and by examining that signal with curiosity and compassion, we give it the space it deserves in a world where upset is often ostrasized. We then dissect how approaching our injustices, even our oppressors, with that same curiosity and compassion, can lead us towards core unmet needs as a collective, which can uncover striking access to productive solutions.

Buckle up, this one is challenging but so damn worth a listen.

Nikki is a yoga teacher, relationship coach, writer and my very best friend. Check her out on instagram at @hellonikkisunshine ¨̮

This is the golden episode that we have been building up to over the last year!!! I lead you through the 5 steps that will gracefully guide you towards authentic repair and resolution while navigating upset. Through this process we can put the problem in front of us, versus between us; it goes from You versus Me, to We versus The Problem.

1. Noticing the Upset in your Body
2. Self or Co-Regulation of the Nervous System
3. Processing + Doing the Dirty Work
4. The Willing and Readiness
5. Repairing Like A Bad B*tch

Get your journals out for this one because it's chalked full of examples phrases every step of the way.

This is a very special episode because it's about a practice that changed my life and helped shape who I am today. Vipassana Meditation is a 10-day intensive course of self-observation in hopes to witness reality as it really is, and in doing so, release impurities of the mind and heart.

I talk about the origin, technique, my personal experiences over four courses, and even answer some Q&A at the end. Believe it or not (this episode is long), I still thought of things I wish I had added later on, and I probably will continue to feel that way, as I recorded this just one week after being released, and so much of the process integrates itself as time goes on. 


In this episode I mention the book “The Body Keeps the Score.” I would also like to add “The Untethered Soul” — neither of which are actually about Vipassana but perfectly depict what you are learning through an alternative, yet similar lens.

On Episode 4 of the Communication Series we face the modern foe of Ghosting and Flakiness. Active Listening and Engaged Conversation are the anecdote to being left on read. By leaning into genuine curiosity, summarizing and reflecting back what we hear, asking clarifying questions, validation, and offering support - we allow our loved ones to feel heard. We also compare how the different communication and attachment styles might show up (or avoid) hard conversations, so be sure to give the first 3 episodes of the series a listen!
