    Mindful Providers, Who You Choose Is Important

    On this episode I talk about the click bait of mental health providers. Why it's important to fire your provider if you need to, because in all this long road of wellness, you are in control. It's about gaining autonomy and knowing your options and doing the research on who you are choosing to work with. Wellness is not, and will not ever be one size fits all. Your wellness team is to work with you, not your conditions.

    What It Means to be Messy & Meaningful

    In this first episode of Messy and Meaningful, I'm sharing the heart behind this podcast- why I created this space, who it's for and how healing doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. This is a space for humans doing their best. For anyone who's felt overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure where to start. My hope is that this becomes a soft, empowering place for you to land- where breath, body, and self-trust comes back online, one small practice at a time.
