This one’s for the woman who’s been feeling it all lately—the heaviness, the fear, the deep knowing that something has to change. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to be awake in a world that keeps trying to put you back to sleep. We’re living through massive collective upheaval—climate crisis, crumbling systems, rising polarity—and if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you're going a little bit crazy… you’re not. You’re just awake.
I break down the emotional and energetic toll of being conscious in an unconscious society, why nervous system regulation is your secret weapon, and how we, as women, can stop performing and start leading. This is about building self-trust, reclaiming your truth, and honoring your own awakening—even when it’s messy. Especially when it’s messy.
This episode is part pep talk, part call to arms. Because the world doesn’t need more perfectly curated women—it needs more brave, embodied ones.
