• #11: The Raw Truth About Expansion: Why Becoming More You Can Feel Unsafe
    Apr 1 2025

    What if the version of you you’ve been hiding is the one the world’s been waiting for?

    In this honest and unfiltered episode, we pull back the curtain on the quiet war with self-doubt—the inner voice that whispers “too much,” “too loud,” “not enough.” Through my own six-month journey of reclaiming my voice in the face of criticism, fear, and the pressure to play small, I share what it really looks like to choose authenticity over approval.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    ✨ What it actually means to stop shrinking and start taking up space ✨ How to navigate fear without letting it run the show ✨ Why your voice is your most powerful tool for liberation and connection ✨ And how authenticity isn’t a destination—it’s a daily choice

    If you’ve been biting your tongue, second-guessing your truth, or playing small in spaces that deserve your full presence—this conversation is yours.

  • #10: What one powerful ancestral healing session unlocked for me
    Mar 25 2025

    What if the patterns keeping you stuck aren’t even yours?

    In this raw, powerful episode, I take you inside one of the most life-altering healing sessions I’ve ever experienced—an ancestral healing journey that unlocked shifts not just in my mind, but in my body, my relationships, my nervous system, and how I move through the world.

    You’ll hear me vulnerably guided in real-time as I connect with a little girl in my lineage, carrying the weight of generations of unmet needs, disconnection, and unspoken pain. Together, we witness the mother line patterns that had silently shaped my parenting, my health, and even my relationship with myself.

    But the real magic unfolded after…

    In the second half of the episode, I share the full ripple effect of this session:

    ✨ How it rewired my nervous system and released stored generational trauma

    ✨ How it shifted my relationship with my daughter and mother—bringing deeper intimacy, empathy, and connection

    ✨ How it opened up new layers of creativity, play, homemaking, and self-expression I’d never accessed before

    ✨ And even the wild physical manifestations (including unexpected body symptoms!) that came as my system recalibrated

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying invisible weight—whether in your health, relationships, or sense of self—this conversation is for you.

    Tune in and witness how ancestral healing has the power to ripple through generations forward and back… and liberate the truest version of you.

    • 00:00 – Welcome to Your Life Podcast
    • 00:56 – The start of my ancestral healing journey
    • 03:01 – Inside the session: what it looked and felt like
