    320. Channeling Clarity & Overcoming Overthinking With A Pendulum Practice

    We can get so caught up in cycles of doubt, insecurity, overthinking, overanalyzing, analysis paralysis, second guessing, getting stuck, procrastinating, and all of these obstacles in our decision-making. And beginning to use a pendulum to ask anything—from the most simple and basic low-risk type of question, to making some of the biggest decisions of my life—has really freed me from all of those monkey mind games that used to set me back. And I'm on a mission to share that kind of freedom with others. In this episode, I’ll be teaching us how divination was once a universal folk practice, why it’s actually normal to consult your intuition (and quite abnormal not to), and how to use a pendulum (or any weighted necklace) to access clear yes/no guidance from your body, intuition, ancestors, or divine support team. We’ll explore the science-backed connection between pendulum work and muscle testing, discuss who or what we might be channeling, and have hands-on practice together in real time. By the end, you’ll have a grounded process for using a pendulum to make aligned decisions rooted in love, clarity, and intuition.

    319. The Parts Of Us That Seem At War Over Living Out Our Gifts

    In the Taoist 5 Element System, the element of the Spring Season is called Nature (sometimes called Wood.) Our Nature is really about our gifts. We all have inherent gifts that we are born with that are meant for our own benefit (to enjoy!) and meant for others' benefit too (to serve.) I have a free Discover Your Spiritual Gifts class that complements this episode really well for you. Grab it here. Most of our problems in Life really do come down to not knowing ourselves, not loving ourselves, and not BEING ourselves. Why is it like that for so many of us?! It's definitely not your own fault. It's because of the culture and systems that we are born into, that are so disconnected now from this kind of truth. But I do believe we are coming Home, with so many more people individually awakening, but also a collective shift back into this. I think it's inevitable with the rise of AI that we will have a reawakening of what sets us apart as humans and spirits—our spiritual gifts. Today's episode is a recording of a client coaching call that I just know you're gonna relate to! If you feel disconnected from your gifts or like Fear (which btw ultimately does come from Love!) is getting in the way of you fully stepping into them, you're going to love this episode.

    317. Why Social Media Feels Overwhelming, Your Attention Isn't Actually Scarce, and How to Reclaim It

    Your Attention Is Sacred starts THIS WEDNESDAY. Join me in a 10-day voice-note book club to reclaim your Attention and rewild your relationship with your phone, technology, and social media. What if your Attention isn’t actually scarce? In this episode, I explore a different way of understanding Attention, not as something you’re running out of, but as something you’re in relationship with. We talk about why social media and modern technology can feel so overwhelming, what’s actually happening in your nervous system, and the deeper truth that often gets missed: This is not a personal failure. The system itself changed. If you’ve been feeling distracted, overstimulated, or like your Time and energy aren’t your own, this episode will help you understand why—and what might begin to shift when you relate to your Attention differently. Press play to hear: Why Attention might not actually be a limited resourceThe deeper meaning of attention as tending, not “paying”How the quality of your Attention shapes the quality of your LifeWhat your body might be telling you about your current relationship with your phone or social mediaWhy your nervous system feels overwhelmed in today’s worldThe concept of “cruel optimism” and why trying harder isn’t always the answerHow social media shifted from serving users → capturing attentionThe move from finite feeds → infinite scroll and why that mattersWhy it feels harder to focus now than it used toWhat it might look like to stop trying to keep up with everything I’m currently hosting: ⁠⁠⁠Your Attention Is Sacred: a 10-Day Voice-Note Book Club⁠⁠⁠ May 6–15Fully asynchronous inside VoxerEach day, I’ll share a short excerpt, a reflection, and a few questions.

    315. Your Phone, The Spell, & The Magician: How to Stay Awake in Systems Designed to Captivate You

    In this episode, I share a disturbing dream that marked a turning point in my relationship with Attention, social media, and the systems we participate in. It's an exploration of the Magician archetype, the nature of illusion, and the subtle ways our Attention can be shaped, captured, and carried without us realizing it. This is a conversation about enchantment, awareness, and what it means to stay connected to yourself while moving through systems designed to captivate you. Press play to hear: My disturbing dream about illusion, surrender, and disorientationThe Magician archetype in Jungian psychology and what it representsHow Attention can be shaped, redirected, and influenced without conscious awarenessWhy illusion often feels good and why that mattersHow social media functions as a modern system of attention captureThe experience of being “inside the spell” and what it feels like to come back outWhat it means to be in Right Relationship with technologyAttention as a relationship, not just a resourceIllusion as a natural part of human experienceAwareness as the bridge between manipulation and masteryThe difference between being entranced vs empoweredThe practice of staying connected to yourself inside immersive systemsThe problem isn't illusion. The problem is forgetting that you're inside it. If this episode stayed with you, I’d love to hear what you’re noticing. Leave a comment or reach out to me through my website.

    314. When Social Media Stopped Feeling Good & How I Reclaimed My Time, Attention, & Energy

    I didn’t decide all at once to change my relationship with social media. It happened slowly. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how things started to feel different for me—how something that once felt connective and alive began to feel extractive, overwhelming, and out of alignment. I talk about the moment where something really clicked, the questions that changed everything, and how I began experimenting instead of forcing a drastic change. This is a conversation about Attention, Time, and what it means to come back into Right Relationship with the systems we participate in. If you’ve been feeling like your attention is scattered, your time isn’t your own, or you’re trying to win inside a game you don’t even want to be playing anymore… you’re not alone. Press play to hear: What it felt like when social media stopped feeling reciprocalThe subtle ways Attention can feel like it’s being taken instead of chosenThe concept of “unpaid labor” just to maintain your experience online The moment I realized something was not in Right RelationshipWhy I didn’t quit social media—and what I did insteadThe small, experimental shifts that changed everythingWhy deeper connection, not more content, was what I was actually craving, and how I UPGRADED instead of deprived myselfHow voice notes and asynchronous connection became more meaningful for meThe question that reframed my entire relationship with time: What could I do with those same 12 hours a week if I put them somewhere else? As you listen, you might notice: What has shifted in your own relationship with social media over time? And what are you actually craving when you reach for it?

    313. If the Earth Were a Person: Animism & Earth Day Magic

    If the Earth were a Person, how would you describe what they are like, and how would you describe your relationship with them? I was brought up in a religion that taught me that nature is something separate from us and subservient to us. It’s alive in a sense, but definitely not conscious. I was taught that it’s impersonal, and it definitely didn’t have a soul or spirit. It’s beautiful, sure, but it’s mainly a utility that exists to resource humans. It’s here to be the support system and backdrop to the most important existence of humans. Basically, it’s inanimate. But in the last couple of years, especially ⁠after my first psychedelic experience⁠, I see things completely differently. Throughout most of human history, human beings believed in animism, and it doesn’t contradict religion (or, it doesn’t have to.) Animism is the belief that everything in Nature is alive and has a spirit or consciousness—not just humans and animals, but also trees, rivers, rocks, mountains, and even weather systems. It’s one of the oldest belief systems in the world and is found in many Indigenous and earth-based traditions. Animism teaches that the world is made up of relationships - that we’re in constant dialogue with the more-than-human world, and that everything is interconnected and deserving of respect. Press play to learn: myths and creation stories about the Earth being personal and relational practical and magical ways to be more connected with Nature - to receive physical and mental health benefits and also to receive messages from your Intuition how to see Nature as a mirror for what’s happening in our inner world through its cycles of growth and rest How we can walk together: Join the next gathering of the ⁠⁠⁠Wild Wellness Women's Circle.⁠⁠⁠ More of a one-on-one person?
