The Platinum Triangle

Today I’m in that sweet spot where something is clicking. The retreat I released just days ago is almost full. Women are bringing friends, and it’s reminding me why I’ve always loved creating spaces where people feel held.

In this episode, we talk about how I got here, why retreats work, and what changes when you choose to support yourself by stepping into community containers that actually encourage you and hold you.

Lately I have been noticing something in my own life and in the women around me. A subtle kind of shift. A veil lifting. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Today we are exploring the places where our perception gets a little foggy, the stories we did not realize we were still carrying, and the moments that ask us to meet ourselves with more honesty than comfort. This conversation feels alive and a little tender, and I have a ...

This week, I’m sharing a story that feels beautifully full-circle. One 200-hour cohort is completing, another is beginning, and I’ve been reflecting on the kind of trust it takes to step into both endings and beginnings — the trust I had to build in my own life, and the way yoga quietly prepares us for these thresholds.

If you’re navigating a transition, feeling the pull toward something new, or learning how to trust yourself again,...

This episode is part personal update, part manifesto on the impact my 200 hour training has had on my life.

I’m sharing what’s been unfolding lately, the stretch of stepping into deeper community work, and how the foundations of yoga continue to be the thread holding it all together.

We talk about growth, capacity, philanthropy, and what it actually feels like to bet on yourself and build something meaningful.

In this episode, Shyla shares how her 200-hour yoga training and her continued studies in trauma-informed care, meditation, Ayurveda, and mindfulness supported her in self-actualizing and in creating opportunities for her community to breathe, learn, and reconne...

In this episode, I am exploring the space between what we say we value and how we actually show up for ourselves. It is wild how often fear sounds like logic and quietly keeps us from the things that would genuinely expand our lives.

For a lot of people, that shows up around yoga teacher training, and also around anything that asks us to grow.

I share the three fake obstacles I hear most often, the stories that feel convincing in the...

So many women doing meaningful, grounded, soul-led work began with a single choice: stepping into a 200-hour yoga teacher training. In this conversation, we explore how study becomes a catalyst. Alyssa shares about her work with Cosmic Embodiment and how her own 200-hour opened the doorway to the offerings she now brings into the world.

If you’re feeling the nudge toward your next chapter, this is the conversation you’ll want to hea...

What’s happening in Minnesota right now is devastating. It’s also revealing.

If this conversation speaks to you and you feel called to study yoga as a whole system — the ethics, the clarity,...

Feeling behind is something I’ve been hearing a lot about lately. If you’ve been carrying a sense of pressure or wondering whether you should be further along by now, even while doing meaningful work, this episode is for you. It’s a discussion for anyone walking a committed path who’s questioned their timing, their pace, or whether they somehow missed a moment.

Many 200-hour trainings offer information, but not all of them support true integration. In this episode, I share what I’ve observed in students over the years and why mentorship, community, and real-life application matter if a training is going to change how you actually live.

This episode comes to you from one of my favorite fall-and-spring spots: my living room sofa. It’s a little tender, a little messy. I share the ghosts my current remodel project has stirred up and the unexpected healing it’s bringing.

We explore what happens when you choose to expand, what shifts when you say yes to change, and how even a remodel can become a spiritual practice.

It’s 9/9, eclipse season is here, and yes… full moon behavior is absolutely real (ask 16-year-old me serving truckers on the overnight shift 🙃). In this episode, I share one of my favorite diner stories, what last week’s Pisces full moon stirred up, and why this season is the perfect time to release old patterns, retire the smaller versions of ourselves, and step into something new.

I also talk about being in spaces that stretch yo...

Yoga meets us in real life in unexpected ways. Some things unfold exactly as planned. Others bring surprises—both in the studio and out—small moments that end up holding the biggest lessons. In this episode, I’m sharing stories on and off the mat that remind me why the way we practice matters as much as the practice itself… and maybe even is the practice itself.

You prayed for this.
You worked for it.
And now you’re tired.

In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when the life you asked for starts to feel like too much. When the blessings you once dreamed of begin to feel a little heavy. When even the good things ask more of you than you expected.

I share a bit about where I am right now—what’s growing, what’s beautiful, and what’s quietly exhausting me beneath the surface. And ...

What happens when we move beyond what we can see and touch? This bonus drop is an invitation into the spacious, unseen world of energy, vibration, and subtle knowing. It’s a personal and poetic reflection on ether—the final element in our Energetic Alignment arc inside Aligned. If you’ve ever sensed there’s more beneath the surface… this one’s for you.
