    40. Trauma Beyond the Obvious: Blending Science, Spirituality, Body & Brain — with holistic psychologist Belu

    In this raw and unfiltered episode, I sit down with holistic psychologist Belu for an unscripted conversation about trauma, healing, and what it actually takes to move beyond understanding and into real healing and lasting transformation. This wasn’t meant to be a “proper” podcast interview. We met, saw we had a lot in common, and decided to chat. And at some point, I hit record. What unfolded was an honest and personal conversation between two women who’ve lived trauma, walked their own healing journeys, and now support others in doing the same. In this episode, we explore: Trauma beyond the obvious — including what didn’t happen, but was supposed to Why understanding alone don’t lead to healing Why talk therapy isn't enough How disconnected we have become from our bodies and why it's a problem Understanding our childhood, generational patterns, and overachievement Feminine and masculine energetics — and why so many women are exhausted Why healing is a journey — unpredictable, nonlinear, and deeply human ⚠️ Listener note: This episode includes discussions of childhood trauma, relational trauma, eating disorders, and emotional neglect. Please listen with care and check in with yourself around timing and capacity. 🌿 About today’s guest Belu is a holistic psychologist who spent many years working strictly within scientific and clinical frameworks — until her own healing journey and spiritual awakening revealed that something essential was missing. Today, her work bridges psychology and spirituality, science and embodiment, and mind and body, with a strong focus on safety, nervous system regulation, and inner child healing.

    39. Ayahuasca Integration: A Nervous System-First Conversation on Surrender, Community & “Resting the Interpreter” with Ian LLoyd

    Journeying with ayahuasca isn’t just about what happens when you drink it. It’s about what happens before—and especially after. In this episode, I sit down with ⁠⁠Ian Lloyd⁠ ⁠just three months after sharing a couple ceremonies together in Colombia, to unpack the less talked-about part of the medicine path: integration. This isn’t a conversation about spiritual performance or peak experiences. It’s about the tenacity it takes to sit with confusion, tenderness, and truth. Inside, we explore: How the medicine chose us—not the other way aroundWhat surrender really means, and how to “rest the interpreter”Why nervous system safety is the foundation of transformationThe tenderness — and sacredness — of confusionHow holding space the right way changes livesThe role of community, co-regulation, and being witnessedWhy your deepest gifts are hidden behind shame—and how to reclaim them Yes, there are medicine stories woven in. But this is about so much more: Walking with integrity, being held in our vulnerability, and trusting the deep intelligence of the body. Enjoyed this episode?

    36. You Don’t Find Your Purpose—You Become It: Navigating the Messy Middle of Alignment with Mark Dallimore

    Have you ever felt like you’re meant for something more… but have no idea what or how to step into it? If you’ve been searching for your purpose, trying to figure it all out, and instead just ending up more confused—you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with fellow intuitive coach, Mark Dallimore, to have a raw, honest conversation about the messy middle of purpose. Because here’s the truth: ✨ You don’t find your purpose—you become it. ✨ Purpose isn’t about what you do—it’s about who you are. ✨ The path won’t be clear before you start walking it. BUT… that can be outrageously frustrating! Trust me, I know—I am right there with you! 😂 💡 Inside this episode, we dive into: The frustration of knowing you’re meant for more but not seeing the next stepWhy purpose isn’t something you “figure out” in your head—it’s something you embodyThe black hole phase—when your old identity no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t arrived yetHow to trust yourself even when your mind is screaming for a planThe entrepreneurial struggle—how do you build a purpose-driven life without turning your purpose into another job that drains you?If you’re multi-passionate—how do you choose one path without feeling like you’re giving up on the rest? If you’ve ever felt lost in your purpose… if you’re in a transition, an identity shift, or the in-between of “WTF am I actually supposed to do with my life?” —this episode is for you. 💛 If this resonated, DM me! And if you’re ready to stop overthinking and start actually living in full alignment, the next round of Aligned, Embodied, Alive (AEA) starts in April—DM me “AEA” to chat about how this program can support you.

    35. The Real Practice of Gratitude: Receiving, Holding & Expanding with Veronique Navette & Dan Blackman

    We’ve all heard about the power of gratitude. It’s in every self-help book, every morning routine, every spiritual practice. But here’s the real question—are you actually letting it in? Because gratitude isn’t just about what you acknowledge—it’s about what you’re willing to receive. And for so many of us, that’s the hardest part. We can express appreciation, we can say the words, but when love, kindness, and abundance come our way… we deflect. We minimize. We struggle to hold it. In this episode, I sit down with intuitive, trauma-informed coaches Dan Blackman and Veronique Navette for a deep conversation on gratitude—not just as a mindset, but as something that reshapes your entire relationship with yourself. We explore: ✨ The link between gratitude and self-worth—and how so many of us reject the good things we say we want ✨ How to practice gratitude when life feels heavy and you can’t find anything to be grateful for ✨ The energetics of gratitude—why saying “I’m grateful” means nothing if your energy isn’t aligned with it ✨ How learning to receive gratitude can shift everything from your relationships to your manifestations. If you’ve ever struggled to believe in the good things being reflected back to you, or if gratitude has ever felt like an obligation instead of a felt experience—this episode is for you. Recorded in June 2024.
