  • Beach Love Language: How the Beach Teaches Us About Love
    Feb 14 2025

    Send us a text

    In this special Valentine's Day episode of The Beach Speaks, I explore the deep connection between love and the beach. What invisible forces make us feel at peace when we're by the ocean? How do they reflect the essence of love?

    You know how the beach feels like love? There’s something about it—the way the waves roll in, the sand between your toes, the warm, salty breeze—it just seems to make all the cares of the world fade away.

    The beach connects us to love in the most beautiful ways - ways we’re often unaware of - invisible forces connecting us to the deeper meaning of love: I call it the Beach’s Love Language.

    The beach isn’t just a place we love—it’s a place that teaches us about love.

    Join me as I dive into the magic of:
    Negative ions – how the ocean lifts our mood, just like love
    Grounding – walking barefoot on the sand and finding stability in love
    The rhythm of the waves – surrendering to love’s natural flow

    I also share some personal reflections, weaving in poetry and quotes that capture the beauty of love and the sea*

  • 100th Episode Special! How is the Beach Speaking to You Today?
    Jan 29 2025

    Send us a text

    Today, I am celebrating my 100th episode of The Beach Speaks, and for some of you, that might not seem like a lot; however, for those who know me, this is quite a momentous event, especially when I look back at episode 50 when I almost quit. It is progress, not perfection, and I am so enjoying the journey!!

    Speaking into a microphone has always been easy for me, but the rest of the production process has been a challenge to master. I learned A LOT - not just the tech but what I am truly capable of when I listen to the beach and step out of my comfort zone.

    Like the ocean, the gratitude in my heart for how the beach speaks to me is deep and expansive. It connects us in many ways, and it is a joy to share it with you!

    Instead of making this episode one of those highlight reels or best of, I decided to go back to the last 50 episodes and listen to my guests' responses to the question I always ask: How is the beach speaking to you today?

    Listen as my guests share the many ways the beach is speaking to them - at the moment. The themes vary, from how they feel at the beach to precious memories of time spent there to how it speaks to the soul. The responses may vary, but one thing connects us all: the beach does speak - we only have to listen!
