In this solo episode, I’m sharing some of my own story: like years of rigid routines, juice fasts, and trying to follow every “right” ritual to become someone who finally felt free, healed, and whole.
But what I found was that all the "being good" didn’t actually leave me feeling at home in myself.
You'll hear me talk about:
- How "self-improvement" can sometimes be a subtle form of self-rejection
- Why rushing or “shoulds” on our healing or growth path tends to keep us looping
- The difference between trying to fix ourselves vs. tending to ourselves
I’ll also share a bit about my new mini program, Rituals for a Free Spirit - a no-fluff collection of short, supportive practices to help you come back to yourself in real-life moments of overwhelm, anxiety, or disconnection. It's $19, simple, and there when you need it.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
