    017: Look for these 4 qualities in your next relationship

    While I was going through my first relationship breakup, I started seeing my first therapist - Dr. Pierre Steenberg. He was the first to introduce to me these 4 pillars of a healthy, long-term partnership. As I studied to become a therapist and started seeing the same kind of research, I realized he was on to something. In my own relationships I saw how the breakdown of these qualities within the relationship, led to the breakdown of trust, intimacy, respect. I also started to see how important it was to do the inner work of healing, so I could give my future relationship a better chance of surviving and thriving.

    014: Why Being Obsessed With Your Life Actually Matters

    Sometimes we attach to people or expectations easily because subconsciously we don't actually *like* or love our lives. We depend on the people in our lives or our romantic relationships to give us a feeling of excitement, because nothing we're doing on our own in life feels interesting. But this is your soul's call to *deepen your relationship with yourself*, meet yourself a little more, and fall in love with everything that makes you YOU :) We'll explore that in this episode.

    013: Essential Baby Steps to Regulate Your Nervous System Like a Pro

    Welcome to Women's Empowerment month! We're talking about the #1 skill that every human being should've been taught by the time they were 8 years old... but literally none of us were ;) that's Nervous System Regulation. Big terms, but the most simple ideas and practices. If you're going to work on anything in life, let it be regulating the flood of chemicals that seem to wash over us as women daily, due to our fluctuating hormones and cycles. We have so much power and potential, but if we continuously outsource our nervous system regulation, we will never fully feel in control, proud of ourselves, or confident in our decisions. It's a short episode, but one that will let you start practicing being the Manager of your mind and emotions right away.
