In this solocast episode, I explore the concept of "living radiantly" and invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery to define what it means to you. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all definition, I encourage you to uncover your unique interpretation of living radiantly.

Throughout our conversation, you’ll learn how striving to meet everyone's expectations hinders your ability to embrace your authentic self. You’ll discover the importance of acknowledging both the light and shadow aspects of yourself, and how embracing your imperfections is key to experiencing true self-love and compassion.

You’ll also learn the pitfalls of placing your peace and happiness in external circumstances, and how this can lead to disappointment and resentment. Instead, I'll share insights on how to cultivate inner peace and fulfillment, independent of external factors.

Tune in for a discussion that will inspire you to embark on your own journey toward living radiantly, authentically, and unapologetically. It's time to shine your light bright!

In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Marie Young, a conscious movement guide whose unique blend of practices including yoga, personal training, martial arts, performing arts, herbalism, and medical astrology, has transformed the lives of many.

Jennifer takes us on a deeply personal journey when stress and anxiety-ridden nightmares overwhelmed her amidst the Covid19 pandemic. During this time, she decided to harness the power of Venus retrograde as an opportunity to embark on a 42-day retreat, diving deep into the yogic practice of pratyahara.

During this time of deep introspection, Jennifer explored her attachments and aversions related to her 5 senses, thoughts, and to her breath. She shares her biggest insights from this journey of sensory exploration and offers a guide for you to begin your own journey as well.

In this episode, we’re joined by Jelisha Gatling, a licensed family and marriage counselor, as she shares her self-care journey through ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to address treatment-resistant depression. In this candid conversation, Jelisha reveals how the addition of ketamine to her treatment plan helped her to transcend her ego and rewire deeply ingrained neural thought patterns, leading to a rediscovery of joy in her daily life.

Jelisha expands on her self-care journey by sharing how community played an important role in her healing. Additionally, she shares how her journey led her to cut ties with her former therapist to seek out a more aligned therapeutic relationship. We explore the connection between the “shoulds” in our life and feelings of shame. Jelisha offers a simple, yet powerful tool to shift your “shoulds” into “coulds” for a renewed sense of freedom and release from self-imposed expectations.
