We often think of friendship as something external, but true connection begins within. In this episode, I explore how nourishing solitude can inspire a deeper relationship with yourself—and in turn, allow you to show up more openly and generously in your frien...

229. Healing can be a complex, lonely, non-linear journey, and healing can mean many different things. But what if healing isn’t the ultimate goal? What if healing is the side effect of connecting? Join me this week as I explore how to shift our focus from “healing” to connecting—with ourselves, our bodies, our thoughts, our needs, patterns, environments, and others. I ask the question, what if instead of focusing on healing, we fo...

Might  self-compassion bring about transformation? Tune in this week as I di...

220. The ancient practice of Feng Shui encourages us to become more aware of our environment and how it affects us.
