Welcome to episode 1 of the No Mud, No Lotus podcast! Today we are talking about suffering and joy - or the mud and the lotus flower. In this episode we discuss how to embrace duality so we can learn to transform pain into joy and we also go over how to suffer well, so that we suffer less. We touch on the topics of toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing. In the end, I share some vulnerable moments from my life as examples and encourage you to use your pain to fuel compassion. I hope this episode helps you in some way. Thank you for tuning in!

Welcome to episode 2! Today we are talking everything self-love. We dive deep into what self love is, why you should love yourself and why you deserve to. We also talk about what happens when you start loving yourself and how we can actually learn to love ourselves with some actionable steps that are deeper than just face-masks and bubble baths.. Some other topics we discuss are authenticity, finding our true self, getting rid of limiting beliefs, affirmations, spirituality, oneness, free-thinking and reprograming our mind.

I hope this episode leaves you inspired to start or continue on your self-love journey. Thank you for tuning in!

This episode is for those of you who feel like you are doing all the things - affirmations, self-care, and trying to think positively - but something still feels wrong. Today we are talking about the shadow. We discuss what the shadow is, why it’s important to be aware of it, and how to integrate it into our lives. I also get vulnerable and expose a side of my shadow so you have an example of how the process works.
