    Yes, I Was a Stingray Wrangler (And I Have the Scars to Prove It)

    What do Bora Bora, the Cayman Islands, and wild stingrays have in common? Me. In this episode of the Zen Den Podcast, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most unexpected jobs I’ve ever had — as a stingray wrangler. Yes, it’s a real thing. It all started with a magical encounter in Bora Bora back in 2009. I was in awe of these graceful creatures, never knowing it would lead to a job years later feeding wild rays by hand, free diving with squid, and dodging suction “kisses” that left me with scars (and stories) for life. I share what it was like working with wildlife, how calm energy makes all the difference, and why people still look at me sideways when I tell them this was once my job. If you’ve ever questioned how the universe plants seeds early in life — this one’s for you. 🧜‍♀️ Dive in now — this episode is one slippery ride!

Let’s talk about coming home to yourself—without the pressure, without the shame.

    Whispers from the Universe: Are You Paying Attention?

    Have you ever experienced something that felt too perfectly timed to be a coincidence? Maybe you kept seeing the same number, heard a song at just the right moment, or found something that felt like a direct message from the universe? In this episode, I’m sharing a story that completely changed the way I see signs and synchronicities. Not long after my mum passed away, I started finding coins in unexpected places. At first, I brushed it off, but when a simple Chinese 1 yuan coin led me to an undeniable message, I knew this was more than chance. Join me as I explore the magic of these moments, how the universe (or our loved ones) sends us signs, and why we need to stay open to them. Have you ever received a sign? Let’s talk about it! ✨ Share your stories in the Zen Den Facebook group or tag me on Instagram @zendenpodcast. Let’s celebrate the whispers from the universe together!

    Manifestation with a Twist: How the Universe Delivers in Unexpected Ways

    Sometimes, we think we know exactly what we want and how it will arrive—but the universe has a way of surprising us! In this episode of The Zen Den, I’m sharing two personal stories about how my manifestations came to life in ways I never expected. First, the story of my dream car—a Toyota Rav 4 that I had envisioned for years, but when it finally showed up, it looked a little… different. Then, I’ll share how my childhood dream of becoming a National Geographic photographer manifested into a career I never saw coming—but one that was exactly what I needed at the time. These experiences taught me so much about trusting the process, staying open, and letting go of rigid expectations when manifesting. Sometimes, what we receive isn’t quite what we imagined, but it’s perfect for the moment we’re in. Have you ever manifested something that came into your life in a completely unexpected way? I’d love to hear your stories! Share them in the Zen Den Facebook group or tag me on Instagram @zendenpodcast. Tune in and let’s embrace the magic of manifestation—twists and all!

I’ll also reflect on a more recent moment where calmness and clarity guided me through a crisis, and explore what helps us rise to the challenge—whether it’s training, intuition, or something deeper.
