    Forging A New Path of Leadership with Ancient Wisdom with Jess Boots

    So many of us are struggling with old, outdated frameworks for what defines a leader, what qualities a great leader embodies and what conversations belong in the leadership space. This episode is the answer and sits at the intersection of science and “woo”, where we bring you the ancient wisdom of the chakra system and yogic philosophy and apply it to how we believe leadership can positive evolve. In this invitational conversation, I am joined by the lovely Jess Boots, a leadership coach, author (!), yoga teacher, and mama, to explore how leadership doesn’t start with a position or with authority: it starts with your relationship with yourself. Because truly, it’s all connected.

    The Revelation of Reclaiming Cyclical Living

    Ep 23: If you’ve ever felt pressured to turn your healing into progress or wondered why living in alignment often feels like swimming upstream—this episode will shift something deep in your bones. Ximena is a Mexican philosopher and regenerative design practitioner who breaks down how we internalize extraction, and why returning to rhythm is more than self-care—it’s system disruption. Together, we explore how reclaiming our cyclical nature is part of what might actually save us. In this episode you’ll hear: Why linear time is a cultural invention that disconnects us from ourselves and our natural rhythmThe ways we can find the cracks to break the toxic ideas of separatism, commodification of our bodies, and patriarchal exploitationHow perfectionism and “optimization” sneak into healing spaces—and how to root them outWhy the language you use matters- and our issue with “biohacking”This isn’t about escaping the system or fixing yourself so you can re-enter it stronger. It’s about choosing, again and again, to live in a way that honors your body, your community, and the Earth.
