Have you ever considered the true power of your emotions? How they can guide, heal and transform, rather than just disturb? Join me on a journey beyond the taboo, and into the heart of our emotional highs and lows. I'll be sharing personal stories, practical tools and the importance of seeking help when necessary. It's a chance to grapple with the reality that our emotions are not just normal, but integral to our wellbeing.

Ever thought about harnessing the power of breath and body in managing your emotions? Together, we'll discover techniques such as present breath awareness and somatic exercises that I've found incredibly helpful. We'll discuss the benefits of trying different ways of processing our emotions and delve into powerful self-healing techniques like mirror work, holotropic breath work, and IFS parts work. These methods can help address different aspects of ourselves and lead to emotional harmony.

Finally, I'll lead you to an unexplored territory of seeking guidance from our future selves. We'll explore how visualizing our ideal future selves can help us make sense of our current state and emotional challenges. I'll introduce more tools like EFT tapping, a technique that has the potential to change our state by shifting neurological connections. So, join me in embracing, understanding, and harnessing the full spectrum of our emotions for a deeper self-understanding.

Ever wondered how a daunting experience like improv could turn out to be your secret weapon for communication? Join me as I take you on a roller-coaster ride of my 10-week improv journey, filled with cringe-worthy moments, breakthrough 'aha' moments, and exhilarating live performances. I promise, by the end of this episode, you too will be eager to embrace the discomfort and say "yes and" to improv, including improving your communication skills along the way.

Through my personal anecdotes from the class, I'll share how the strategies we adopted helped us to connect better with others and stay open to their offerings. You'll hear about the instructor who not only taught us improv but also showed us how to trust ourselves and our ideas. You'll learn that being okay with failure and your own 'cringe' can lead to more authentic conversations and connections. So, why not give improv a chance? It could be the key to unlock your communication potential. Listen in, and let's start this journey together.

*Improvisation, or improv, is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment (hideouttheatre.com) - Improv is performed on the TV show  Whose Line is it Anyway.

Shoutout to Surfside Playhouse and their incredible instructors, Marco & Adam, in Cocoa Beach, FL for putting on incredible Improv classes!

Music intro/outro: "In the Forest" by Lesfm

Growing up, joy was elusive to me. It was a misunderstood feeling, one I unconsciously mistook as a reward from external sources rather than a state of being. My strained relationship with joy saw me board a plane to Mexico with a one-way ticket, uncertain but hopeful. I was guided towards an ayahuasca ceremony, an event that reshaped my perception and gave me an opportunity to unlearn my conditioning and reclaim my joy.

My journey didn't stop in Mexico. Back home in the US, I embarked on a self-reflective odyssey, confronting my own shadows and traumas. It was through this process of self-discovery that I mastered the art of re-parenting myself, realizing the power of compassion and understanding. I learned how to tap into a core wound in my Human Design and Gene Keys, and unlocked an energetic passion that I now use to serve others.

Trust me, the journey to joy is challenging yet fulfilling. Through my story, I hope to inspire you to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, to recognize your potential, and to become a source of joyous light for others.

Have you ever wondered what might be hidden in the shadowy parts of your soul? What if there was a map to navigate your emotional terrain? Join me in this episode as we journey together into the heart of self-awareness and growth through the lens of the fascinating Gene Keys Venus Sequence. Rooted in astrology and the I Ching, this compelling inner voyage helps us uncover unconscious childhood imprints and confront our shadows, allowing us to take control of our lives and heal our relationships. It's not exactly a walk in the park, as my own experience testifies, but it can be an incredibly transformative journey towards self-love and acceptance.

How often have we blamed others for triggering negative emotions in us? Through the wisdom of the Venus Sequence, I've learned to stop playing the blame game. Instead, I now lean into these triggers, hold space for them, understand them, and release them. This transformative process has magnified the quality of my relationships, showing me that everyone is merely a reflection of myself.

Explore the Venus Sequence sequence with me and the potent power it has to put the power back into your hands and transform your relationships. The journey to my core wound through the Gene Keys has bestowed me with the gifts of radical acceptance, grace, compassion, and forgiveness, both towards myself and others. So, are you ready to transform your life? Tune in and let's explore the power of the Gene Keys Venus Sequence together.

Welcome to a courageous journey of overcoming the fear of being seen. I invite you to face and conquer this fear  with me! Together, we'll delve into uncharted territories of self-discovery and growth, exploring the resonance our voices and conversations have on our alignment with others. My personal story begins with the nerve-racking start of my podcast, where I faced my anxieties and the fear of sharing my voice. This involved a lot of introspection, self-discovery, and working through limiting beliefs.

Embrace your potential as we unravel the ways this fear can influence our behavior and block our path to expansion. I share my personal growth story, and how I confronted and overcame this fear using a blend of techniques like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), contemplation, and Human Design.

Through this exploration, you'll understand how your unique Human Design and Gene Key elements can impact your life. I'll also share how journaling became my ally in this journey. Remember, this is a no-judgment zone. Trust in the process and your unique journey of becoming comfortable with being seen - the unfolding and expansion happens in its own beautiful time. Let's embark on this exploration together!
