What Your Pain Is Trying To Tell You | Dr. Aidan Kinsella DC on Body Wisdom
12 Dec 2024
01:04:19
"The challenging thing about pain is that it interrupts us. We're actually pretty tolerant of pain. We can walk with and live with a lot of pain, but when pain interrupts us, that's when we get upset and frustrated. That interruption is sacred because it allows us to recognize the change that either has already happened that we need to adapt to, or is happening, or is coming." - Dr. Aidan Kinsella
Dr. Kinsella shares how our bodies hold the key to deeper understanding, especially during times of challenge or transition. Whether you're navigating stress, seeking answers, or ready to access more of your natural wisdom, this episode offers a revolutionary perspective on listening to your body's intelligence.

Trust Your Intuition to Manifest Your Dream Life | Divine Alignment Guide
19 Aug 2024
00:41:27
"Sometimes the things of this universe don't make logical sense. If you think of the ecosystem taking place around our globe and how many variables are playing into every situation, there is no way our puny, egoic logical minds can wrap around it all. So for us to think we can make a decision purely based on our logical minds, that's crazy." - Jen Briggs
My loves, I'm sharing something wild with you today – how I've been creating space for magic to flow into my life. This isn't about manifesting from a place of lack or treating the universe like a genie in a bottle. It's about tuning into our bodies' divine wisdom, trusting those goosebumps and intuitive hits that guide us home to ourselves. I'm opening up about my Scotland journey, unexpected synchronicities, and how following what lights me up has created a life more rich and full than I could have imagined. This is your permission slip to trust your body's knowing, even when – especially when – it doesn't make "logical" sense. Consider this my heart reaching out to yours, because I truly believe this wisdom lives in all of us.

Stand Out By Being You: How Values Attract The Right People
12 Aug 2024
00:21:07
"If you want to fit in, you won't stand out. If you want to stand out, you can't fit in. So we're going to create some boldness by getting really clear for you on what your most core values are... what makes your heart sing." - Jen Briggs
This week I'm sharing one of my most powerful exercises for creating magnetic attraction in your life. When we try to be everything to everyone, we end up diluting our uniqueness and attracting relationships that don't truly serve us. This episode walks you through identifying your deepest values, transforming them into belief statements, and having the courage to let go of connections that no longer fit your authentic self. It might feel scary to repel some people - that's normal! Our primal brains fear rejection. But I promise you, on the other side of that fear is a life that feels so much more aligned, vibrant, and connected. This is your invitation to shine brightly in your uniqueness, knowing you're contributing perfectly to our collective ecosystem.

Divine Feminine Awakening: Alana Warlop on Sacred Power
08 Aug 2024
01:24:22
"What we have forgotten is the blueprint of love. I think the blueprint of love is essentially what we have come here to forget, to remember... When I remember that, it's like I connected into knowing the most basic thing that we should know... that we are the field." - Alana Warlop
This episode is pure divine transmission. Alana takes us on her journey from working "like a man" in the healing world to finding the sacred path of the feminine through pilgrimages across Bali, France, and Portugal. What I adore about this conversation is how she weaves ancient wisdom with practical modern application - showing us how to harness our emotional mastery, connect with our sensorial nature, and transmute our sacred rage into power. This isn't about bypassing shadow work or numbing out through spiritual practice. It's about the courageous journey of feeling it all, containing the full spectrum of our emotions, and emerging as the goddess, priestess, and medicine woman you were born to be. Receive this wisdom, let it wash over you, and remember what your soul already knows.

True Resilience: Honoring Rest to Avoid Burnout and Emerge Stronger
05 Aug 2024
00:15:12
"Resilience is not toughing it out at all costs all the time. It's knowing when to say no, so that you can get what you need, so that you can come back. Until we're healed and whole enough to perform, then it's not time to come out." - Jennifer Briggs
This week I'm challenging the wounded masculine approach to resilience that tells us to push through at any cost. Looking at Simone Biles' journey as inspiration, I'm sharing why true resilience requires both the courage to rest and the discipline to emerge when truly ready. When we're on the edge of transformation, we must be willing to hold the tension until something new emerges - this isn't weakness, it's wisdom. Being isn't a luxury, it's a discipline that creates the space for genuine rebirth. Whether you need a moment to breathe or a season to cocoon, this episode invites you to honor your body's wisdom and find the resilience that comes from authentic healing, not just pushing through.

True Masculine Power: Max Trombly on Vision, Purpose and Freedom
01 Aug 2024
01:39:45
"I want to land on this here, because people need to stop going 'I'm looking for a conscious man,' and they have to start going 'What is a real man, a good man, feel like? What is a real man of integrity, vitality and determination feel like?' And why are we not aware of that?" - Max Trombly
This episode brings so much clarity to what's often missing in conversations about masculinity today. Max doesn't hold back - he challenges the vague "conscious man" concept and gets specific about what makes a good man: integrity, clear vision, and the capacity to lead with both strength and heart. Whether you're wondering where all the good men are, or seeking to step more fully into your own masculine power, this conversation offers both the straight talk and the depth necessary for real transformation. I especially appreciated Max's insights on finding true freedom through commitment rather than endless options - such a powerful reframe for our times!

Releasing Resistance: Jen Briggs on Faith, Flow, and Alignment
22 Jul 2024
00:24:40
"When you remain open to all points of view, not rigidly attached to only one, your dreams and desires will flow with nature's desires. Then you can release your intentions without attachment and just wait for the appropriate season for your desires to blossom into reality." - Deepak Chopra
There's a profound difference between choosing to believe something and simply knowing it without question. This week, I'm sharing a personal breakthrough about faith that goes beyond logical choice or evidence-based thinking. I've discovered that true faith emerges naturally when we release resistance - those internal blockages, doubts, and fears that snag our energy like pegs in our center column. By acknowledging these tensions without fighting them, we align with universal flow and discover a knowing as certain as gravity. If you've been muscling through belief or struggling with doubt, this episode offers a gentle path to deeper alignment through awareness and surrender rather than force.

Love as Power: Jen Briggs on Forgiveness and Collective Awakening
15 Jul 2024
00:26:33
"Love is the most potent alchemical power that we have within us. It is already within us and I believe that the more consciousness we put on that love, the more magnified it becomes, the more real it feels." - Jen Briggs
This week I'm diving into a question that's been challenging me: What happens when we hold unforgiveness toward systems that have shaped our world? When we say "f*ck the patriarchy," what energy are we carrying forward? I explore how true love - not just as a feeling but as a transformative power - might be our pathway to collective evolution and personal freedom. Through ancient meditation practices and modern insights, I share how we can tap into the cathedral of our hearts to experience love as a cosmic force that can heal our deepest wounds. This episode isn't about excusing harmful systems, but about finding the liberating power that comes when we stop dragging the past into our present. It's uncomfortable territory, but perhaps that's exactly why we need to explore it.

Manifestation Simplified: Jen Briggs on Body Wisdom & Synchronicity
08 Jul 2024
00:16:03
"We can't solve the mind's problems with the mind. If our mind is spinning and we're trying to manifest a new reality through our mind, that's a form of lunacy - jumping on a hamster wheel and spinning, when the truth is, the way to fix the mind's problems is actually through the body." - Jen Briggs
This episode cuts through the manifestation noise to share what I've discovered after 13 online courses and countless books: the simplest path to synchronicity is following what feels even slightly more exciting in your body. I've been practicing this approach diligently over the past year, and the serendipitous experiences I'm having are genuinely wild. Instead of overthinking decisions with pro/con lists, I'm learning to trust those subtle cues - the goosebumps, the little energy shifts, the magnetic pull toward certain choices. This isn't about making perfect decisions but about tuning into your body's wisdom and treating the process lightly. I share real examples of how this practice has created surprising connections in my life and explain why it works - we're natural beings in a natural ecosystem, designed to live in flow just like everything else in nature.

Nervous System Blocks to Manifestation: Breathwork Expert Tiago Ferreira
05 Dec 2024
01:04:20
"Everything in our life is a reflection as if we were projecting a movie out into life. It's a reflection of our inner state of our nervous system... any experience that we had in life built up an identity and nervous system and conscious patterns where we are relating to life in a way that reflects back to us who we believe ourselves to be, what we believe ourselves to deserve." - Tiago Ferreira
I'm fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, especially when it comes to manifestation. In this illuminating conversation with breathwork facilitator and life coach Tiago Ferreira, we discover why traditional manifestation techniques often fall short - they overlook how our nervous system stores emotional blocks that sabotage our success. Drawing from his background in physics and personal development, Tiago reveals a more grounded approach to creating lasting change that honors both body and mind.
This episode feels like a deep exhale for anyone who's struggled to manifest their dreams despite doing "all the right things." We explore how creating safety in our bodies allows us to process emotions that have remained stuck, and why spending time in nature can actually enhance productivity rather than taking away from it. Tiago's journey from aspiring astronaut to somatic coach demonstrates how following our authentic path, though challenging, leads to more aligned success. It's a leap of faith kind of episode that offers practical wisdom for living in the pause between letting go and receiving what's next.

------ TIAGO Ferreira Tiago is an adventurer, breathwork facilitator, and life coach. For the last 9 years, he has traveled all over the world working with and being mentored by top leaders in the personal growth field. And now he is on a mission to share the best of what he's learned to empower people to manifest their dream lives. Most of us are taught that leading an authentic, fulfilling life requires sacrificing or compromising. Tiago believes that thriving in all areas of our lives is an inside out process. Meaning, that as we release the unconscious nervous system patterns that hold us back and embody in every fiber of our being what it is that we want to experience, our life will reflect that back to us.
Human Design: Maggie Hilpisch on Discovering Your Energy Type
27 Jun 2024
01:04:43
"I deeply care about connecting with other people and helping them see their gifts and their genius, and what I have found through Human Design is a language that allows me to do that. It gives a language and a tool that has opened that dialogue and has really helped and transformed people's lives." - Maggie Hilpisch
In this enlightening conversation, I sit down with human design guide Maggie Hilpisch to explore how this unique self-awareness system helps us understand our energy, decision-making styles, and natural gifts. Maggie shares how discovering she was a Projector completely transformed her approach to work and motherhood after years of burnout cycles from trying to maintain Generator-level energy.

Speak Your Truth: Jen Briggs on Clarity in Love and Business
24 Jun 2024
00:10:46
"When you speak your intention with clarity and truth, people pick up on that energetically and then they feel safe and they can let their guard down and then they can decide. Then they can make a choice with clarity or ask more questions." - Jen Briggs
This week I'm sharing how providing clear intentions transforms both personal and professional relationships. Using real examples from dating and business development, I explain why ambiguity feels unsafe to our nervous systems while clarity creates trust and ease. Whether you're a business owner feeling "slimy" about sales conversations or someone navigating relationship boundaries, I outline how stating your truth—even when that truth is "I'm not sure yet"—allows others to make informed decisions rather than creating their own stories in the absence of information. This straightforward approach applies universally: in leadership, dating, sales, and even your relationship with yourself. By embracing clarity in intention, you create the structure and safety needed for genuine connection and flow.

Embracing Your Humanity | Jen Briggs on Divine-Human Balance
20 Jun 2024
00:31:11
"To be human is to be perfectly imperfect. It is the living, breathing part that merges with the divine, the part that trips and falls and gets humbled, feels pain, that gets stuck. To be human is to learn." - Jen Briggs
Buckle up buttercups - this one's raw and real. I'm taking you behind the veil of my current life transitions while exploring what it truly means to embrace our humanity alongside our divinity. After selling my house, navigating career shifts, and doing deep shadow work, I've been cycling through a spectrum of emotions that reminded me of our shared human experience. This episode is for anyone feeling the tension between their higher self and messy humanness - because we're meant to experience both!

"We need you firm, we need you strong, we need you here, we need you awake, we want you present. There are so many women that I'm talking to that are yearning... for your presence, your depth, your width, your consciousness, your grounding." - Jen Briggs
This Mini Bang Monday comes straight from my heart to the men who've been told they're not needed. I'm unpacking why women sometimes say "I don't need you" when what's truly beneath those words is fear, protection, and a deep craving for masculine energy. If you're a woman who's ever pushed away masculine support, or a man who's felt unnecessary, this episode reveals how we can heal these patterns and create relationships where both energies flourish in beautiful polarity.

Masculine Feminine Dynamics | Paul on Dating After Divorce
13 Jun 2024
01:21:21
"If a woman gets into her masculine, I tend to freeze or fawn. But if a woman just becomes very feminine, I become masculine automatically. This is how I learned that I'm probably more dominantly masculine." - Paul
Buckle up buttercups! This episode is the candid "guy talk" we've all wanted to eavesdrop on. Paul opens up about his journey through divorce, career transitions, and dating while navigating masculine-feminine polarity. We explore how men can set boundaries without being rigid, why authenticity matters more than income, and what happens when we lean into our true energetic nature. This conversation winds through vulnerable territory—from childhood patterns to present-day dating challenges—offering insights for anyone wanting to create deeper connection through energetic balance.

A Note From Paul: “I’m pretty much ‘what you see is what you get.’ This season of life has become a surrender experiment not so much that I chose it but that all other paths ended and I had to choose a new one. I chose to go back to driving truck, and of all the commercial truck driving opportunities picked one that helps People with Blessings of Hope.
Any business I am a part of or build will help people who can’t help themselves and alleviate their pain and suffering. In addition to driving truck I coach real estate agents to find their purpose, live more, and do so more slowly. To settle into their bodies and trust their knowing within. I’ll be doing the “man work” for the rest of my life but first this next year or so I’m going all in to learn more about how to BE and less what to DO. Till next time!”
How to Become Magnetic | Jen Briggs on Attracting Abundance

00:24:18
When you are living in alignment with who you are, when you're living in your purpose and in your beingness, when you are in your Dharma, unapologetically out there in the world or out there in your way, that is super magnetic." - Jen
In this Mini Bang Monday, I'm diving deep into the energetic reality of magnetism – not just as a buzzword, but as a powerful force we can cultivate. Discover why it's not selfish to attract abundance, how living authentically creates natural magnetism, and why your ability to receive directly impacts what flows into your life. I share practical insights on identifying those shields blocking your receptivity and offer a heart-centered blessing to help you ground in your purpose. Whether you're seeking deeper connections, greater opportunities, or financial abundance, these principles of energetic alignment apply to every area of life.

00:56:46
"Resiliency is like am I living a life that if I have a setback it doesn't just knock me out? I can heal, move forward, and get past where I've ever been before." - Ryan Hvizda
This episode is a beautiful exploration of what happens when we let go of tension and discover our authentic selves. Ryan Hvizda shares her powerful journey from workaholic burnout to sustainable success through play, vulnerability, and inner healing. After hitting rock bottom with health challenges, financial debt, and business burnout, she completely transformed her life through silent meditation, surfing, and conscious leadership.
What struck me most was Ryan's wisdom about facing fear as a pathway to healing: "Fear comes from trying to control the uncontrollable." Her journey from ocean fear to becoming a badass surfer living in Barbados half the year is such a beautiful metaphor for what's possible when we release our grip on life.

Divine Feminine Power | Jen Briggs on Living Open to Love
03 Jun 2024
00:29:01
"We are not just connected to the divine – your body, your cells, your DNA, your breath, your heartbeat, everything you are, IS the divine. You are remembering and being brought together." - Jen Briggs
My loves, this Mini Bang is all about living open to love – a practice I've been immersing myself in during a week of moving, grief around my dad's death anniversary, and physical exhaustion. I wanted to bring you what's real because the reclamation of the divine feminine isn't about perfection – it's about feeling ALL of life's textures and experiences fully.
I'm sharing three powerful reasons to re-member the feminine within you: First, it reconnects you to your intuitive, magnetic power – your true source of creation. Second, it creates that juicy, electric polarity in relationships (think of it as the captivating performance that holds attention). And third, it's part of a larger awakening happening across the globe – when we embody the sacred feminine, we literally bring heaven to earth.
What does feminine energy actually look like? She's embodied (fully present in her body), sensitive (which is her superpower, not her weakness), and naturally responsive to life's pleasure. This isn't just for women – this episode is for my male listeners too (25% of you)! We all contain both divine feminine and masculine energies.

Sacred Sexuality: Unlocking Dark Feminine Power | Nadine Lee
17 Oct 2024
00:57:24
“The dark feminine will help you reclaim your voice, reclaim your too muchness, your bossiness, and sensitivity. All the things that as a child, you may have had a direct experience with, where you felt love was withdrawn. So that [experience] gets thrown into the unconscious, into the shadows, and repressed. You think, ‘If I show this part of me, that equals lack of love. So I'm going to never show that part of me.’
So, dark feminine is about journeying into those parts, reclaiming those parts, and integrating them back into your psyche.”

The Healing Power of Forgiveness | Robin Richards on Trauma to Resilience
23 May 2024
01:07:28
"If there's one word that I wish the world would embrace more, it would be forgiveness...forgiveness is an act that is a process. It's not a one and done because there are layers." - Robin Richards
This week I'm sitting down with Robin Richards for a conversation that touched my soul in ways I wasn't expecting. Robin's journey from devastating childhood trauma to resilience is nothing short of extraordinary. After witnessing her mother's murder at just five years old, she found a path to freedom through the transformative power of forgiveness.
What struck me most was how Robin embodies the message that we all get to choose which wolf we feed - the light or the dark. Her story isn't just about survival; it's about creating safety within ourselves, building inner fitness, and allowing the body to release what no longer serves us. I found myself nodding along as she connected quantum physics with energy healing in a way that made so much sense to my soul. --------------- CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 04:00 Setting the Stage 06:24 Witnessing Trauma and Finding Resilience 09:42 The Transformative Power of Forgiveness 17:51 Healing Through Community and Self-Discovery 36:20 Reiki: Accessing Universal Life Force Energy 38:34 Quantum Physics and Spirituality 49:28 Self-Forgiveness and Overcoming Shame 58:42 Embracing Vulnerability 1:03:38 The Role of Connection in Healing
Intuition's Hidden Power | Living a Crazy Brave Life
20 May 2024
00:12:58
"The brave are loving full throttle, heart open wide, with a knowing. This is the not-so-secret elixir. We may not be wearing armor for a battlefield, but we wield weapons of light, truth, love and our nous, our knowing."
What if what society has labeled "crazy" is actually our most natural way of being? This week I'm diving into the courageous act of living from our intuition - that divine knowing that's been stripped from us for centuries. I'm sharing what came through when I asked the universe, "What has been hidden that my listeners are ready to hear?" The answer? The brave are rising. That includes you. I'll guide you through reconnecting with your nous - that beautiful integration of heart and mind the ancient Greeks understood - and invite you to replace "crazy" with "wild" or "magic" in how you speak about your intuitive experiences. Because the truth has always been hidden in plain sight, and it's time we reclaim it.

Body Wisdom & Self-Love | Kim Witczak's Healing Journey
16 May 2024
01:03:03
"I don't think change on the outside can happen until you have change on the inside. I have to look at the person in the mirror and actually love the person looking back at me. That took me years after my breakup, after doing a lot of that work. I can actually say that I love the person I've become and I could never say that before." - Kim Witczak
When our bodies speak, are we listening? In this soul-stirring conversation with Kim Witczak, we explore how grief becomes a pathway to transformation and self-love. Kim shares her journey from unimaginable loss to embodied wisdom, revealing how trusting your intuition and facing pain directly creates profound healing. What struck me most was the parallel between trapped grief and trapped joy – both needing movement through our bodies to be fully expressed. This conversation beautifully demonstrates how our most challenging experiences often catalyze our most authentic evolution. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly listening to your body's wisdom or questioned if transformation really happens in the darkness, this episode illuminates the path forward.

Divine Feminine Power Within: Mary Magdalene's Hidden Truth | Jen Briggs
13 May 2024
00:26:10
"The path is inward. The path to knowing, the path to truth, the path to power is deeper and deeper, in and down, and dark. The feminine is the moon energy that is receptive, that is dark, that is inward." - Jen Briggs
I've been wrestling with what to share today, and realized it's time to pull a thread that's unraveling something powerful in me — and in our society. For years I've studied masculine and feminine energetics, but there's been a missing piece about what it means to have a sacred femininity. Recently, I've been drawn to Mary Magdalene through what feels like breadcrumbs on my path. When I opened a book about her, I experienced waves of grief washing over me for hours. My body knew something my mind couldn't understand — which is exactly what the divine feminine teaches us. The feminine isn't meant to be understood with logic. It's meant to be felt, intuited, and alchemized. This is the integration of strategy and soul I've been seeking, and it might be what you've been seeking too.

Channeling Between Realms: Feminine Power | Vanessa Rose Feils

01:03:19
"We have been stripped from our power. It should induce rage. Why the f*ck did no one teach me this? If you're turned on as a woman and you're connected, that is safety." - Vanessa
I am more convicted than ever that our bodies hold the wisdom, intuition, and guidance we need at every turn in life. Throughout this conversation with Vanessa, I felt that burner ignite — that connection between mind and body that creates true power. There's something about bridging the gap between our intellectual understanding and our embodied knowing that just feels like coming home. And honey butter (as Vanessa would say), this is where the magic happens. We dive into pleasure as revolutionary, explore how our connection to our bodies impacts everything from relationships to finances, and even take you through guided meditations to experience this embodiment firsthand. This isn't just conversation—it's an invitation to reclaim what's been stripped from us.

Energy Shifting Techniques for Success | Jen Briggs

00:15:22
"Your energy has immense power on the people around you. You can, without saying a word, without even smiling, sense people's energy. How you show up is going to dictate the level of success and the quality of the relationships of every aspect of your life." - Jen Briggs
Everything is energy—not just in some woo-woo sense, but literally. I recently heard Tony Robbins explain that the difference between high success and low success is simply energy. As someone who's spent years studying both the science and the practice of energy shifting, I wanted to break this down for you in a way that's both grounded and immediately actionable. In this Mini Bang episode, I'll take you through the fascinating science of how we're literally vibrating beings (yes, there's actual physics behind this), and then give you four quick techniques to shift your energy state when you need it most. Because here's the truth—your energy not only impacts your success, it affects everyone around you. We can't always change our circumstances, but we can absolutely decide how we show up in those moments.

Soul's Purpose: From Trial Lawyer to Energy Coach | Kristen Rowell
02 May 2024
01:10:30
"What's happening to you and all that discomfort and glitchiness is for you, to get you into alignment with what you're supposed to be doing rather than what you are doing. What I say is, when I was lawyering, that job was about my ego and this new career is about my soul." - Kristen Rowell
I feel like I say this every week, and I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it – you are going to love this episode. Kristen and I dive into what happens when you pivot from your ego work to your soul's work, and how sometimes the universe has to hit you with a truck (literally, in her case) to get your attention.
We explore the rise of the divine feminine, how we're transitioning from a Piscean to an Aquarian age, and why disembodiment might be at the root of so many of our struggles. This conversation lit me up in unexpected ways – from awakening journeys to energetic bodies to profound nutrition insights that completely shifted my understanding of my relationship with food. It's raw, real, and exactly what so many of us need right now.

Surrender to Flow State: How to Let Go of Control | Jen Briggs
29 Apr 2024
00:15:46
"Brokenness and pain is not nature. Wholeness, healing, bliss, love, those are all the ways of nature. In order to arrive, flow and live in these ways, one must surrender to nature." - Jen
I had a different mini bang planned for today, but sometimes the universe has other ideas. This morning, during my journaling practice, I received what felt like a download about surrender—what it truly means to let go of our tight grip on controlling life's outcomes. This isn't about giving up our desires or goals, but rather releasing our attachment to arranging exactly how we reach them. The truth is, when we step into nature's design (or God's, universe's, source's—whatever resonates with you), we begin living in a flow state that feels both effortless and deeply aligned. In today's episode, I'm sharing this intimate reflection on how surrender becomes the pathway to our most natural state of wholeness, healing, and bliss.
CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Mini Bang Monday 02:00 What I journaled this morning on surrender 04:13 The perfect order of nature 05:44 How to surrender to life's flow 08:58 Step 1: Tuning into body wisdom 10:19 Step 2: Checking your openness 11:36 Step 3: Letting go in little things 14:14 Michael Singer's wisdom on surrender
"People don't talk about it, and that's what's so great about this — to share our experiences in a community of other women. So one, you don't feel alone. Two, you can find out what they are experiencing that you are also." — Dr. Jane Oh
I had the absolute pleasure of hosting Dr. Jane Oh for a raw, unfiltered conversation about menopause, perimenopause, and women's health. This episode was recorded with a live audience of women, creating a village-like atmosphere where wisdom flowed freely. We dove deep into the physical and emotional changes women experience during these transformative years — from hot flashes and hormonal shifts to the unexpected freedom that comes after. What emerged was both strategic guidance on physical resilience and soulful reflection on redefining ourselves beyond societal expectations.

How to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You | Jen Briggs
22 Apr 2024
00:16:16
"Eventually, it was less painful to shed than it was to stay tight in that bud. And you're going to be faced with this shedding opportunity, or this opportunity to let things go and let things die, over and over and over, because that's the law of nature." - Jen Briggs
I've been feeling it in my bones lately—that tug between holding on and letting go. In this mini-bang episode, I'm sharing how to shed those layers that no longer serve you and step into what's truly meant for you. (And yes, there's a bit of Women Who Run With the Wolves wisdom in here because... how could there not be?) This isn't just about "letting go"—it's about recognizing what your soul is whispering and having the courage to listen.

Women as Oracles: Trusting Your Inner Wisdom | Anabel Vizcarra
10 Oct 2024
01:46:48
“A woman is an oracle, but we've got to develop this skill because it's been forgotten. We have focused more on an external beauty in order to get resources than our inner value and wisdom and, of course, at some point it wasn't safe to do that. Women have been shaped into believing that we are weak and that we need this physical, masculine protection and resource. And there is truth to that, but along that that path, we forgot.
Instead we're competing. We're competing for the men, we're competing for resources, we're competing for who looks better... who's younger. But when we return to our center, when we really reconnect to the bigger purpose of why we're here, and source ourselves to our true resource. Because that's our intuition, that's our wisdom, that's our sense felt of reality. Then we're able to discern lies through our body, and we're able to protect ourselves in a way that external protection you cannot do.”

Self-Compassion Transforms Inner Critics | Jen Briggs
15 Apr 2024
00:09:58
"Your anxiety is your baby. You have to take care of it. So you have to go back to yourself, recognize the suffering in you, embrace the suffering, and then you get relief." - Thich Nhat Hanh
When we're on this journey of growth and development, as we're so focused on looking inward, sometimes we can get into the trap of being really self-critical and beating ourselves up. I've been there too—just recently catching myself slipping into old patterns and immediately jumping to judgment. But what if we paused and treated that part of ourselves like we would an embarrassed child who just messed up? This week, I'm inviting you to experiment with self-compassion. When you start beating yourself up or feeling critical toward yourself or others, what if you embraced that piece with love instead? Resistance creates tension, and tension creates pain. But with a little compassion, watch how quickly that tension can melt away.

"I fiercely believe if people could find joy and happiness in how they spend their conscious hours, the world would be a much more pleasant place. I truly think if more people were doing what brings them happiness professionally, it would change everything." - Sara Schultz
I fell in love with Sara's energy the moment we connected, and you're about to see why.

Throughout our conversation, she drops wisdom bombs about trusting your intuition, following what feels like a "hell yes," and creating success that doesn't sacrifice your wholeness.
What struck me most was Sara's refusal to accept outdated business rules – she's written her own playbook and invites us to do the same. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt torn between their ambitions and their desire for a rich, multidimensional life. Are you ready to sprint toward your own version of success?

Intuition Clarity Guide | When to Jump at Life's Crossroads | Jen Briggs
28 Feb 2024
00:17:06
"Anytime you come to a crux in your life, a decision point whether it's stay or go, create or build, let go or let die – you have an opportunity to get really clear with yourself. And once you find that clarity, then you stand literally at a precipice and the only thing left to do is jump." - Jen
I've been following the breadcrumbs of intuition for years now, and honestly? It hasn't felt hard. That's how I know I'm on the right path – finding that sweet spot where joy, skill, and service converge. (And yes, I cried recording this because sometimes emotion is our body's way of saying "pay attention.") In this quick episode, I'm sharing what happens when you stand at life's crossroads, how to recognize your intuition's nudges, and why I believe that whatever is begging to be birthed through you is possible – even when others don't see it yet. Also, a little transparency about my upcoming break in March and why sometimes the most disciplined thing we can do is... pause.

21 Feb 2024
01:04:56
"Sex is really all about sensing into your body and then taking a sip of the other person's body and then sensing into your body again. You're attuning to your body and attuning to your partner's body in this loop." - Sarah Beron

01:12:41
"Your soul is attracting what the universe is trying to tell you you need and has yet to heal. We are spiritually, karmically, energetically attracted to all of the wounds in other people that match our wound so we can heal it. And that's our soulmate." - Kailen
I sat down with Kailen Rosenberg for a conversation that completely reframed how I understand love, relationships, and why we attract certain people. This wasn't just another dating tips episode – Kailen took us deep into the energetic truth of why we find ourselves repeating painful relationship patterns and how to break free.

Masculine Transformation: Beyond Physical Growth with Joe Whisney
31 Jan 2024
01:00:46
"The authenticity and that movement towards it comes from the ability to just tell the truth all the time. I think guys are lying to themselves a lot and then, as a result, they end up lying to others." - Joe Whisney
This conversation with trainer and coach Joe Whisney left me with that electric feeling of perspective-shifting insight I've come to expect from our talks. We dove deep into what transformation really means—beyond the physical changes that so many of us focus on. Joe shared this compelling perspective on how listening to those inexplicable inner pulls (even when terrifying) has guided his major life decisions, from joining the military to moving across the country. What struck me most was how he framed masculine leadership through the lens of truth-telling, first to ourselves, then to others. There's something powerful about a man who embraces both strength and emotional honesty—creating a container that allows feminine energy to flow freely within it. This conversation bridges strategy and intuition in ways that might just transform how you think about personal growth.

Hormonal Cycle Superpowers: Women's Natural Wisdom | Elizabeth Tidwell
24 Jan 2024
01:05:41
"When we dismiss the impact that hormones have on us, we also dismiss the capacity for superpowers. Our menstrual cycles aren't a weakness - they're showing us something important. That's your hormones. So what can we learn here from your unique position in your cycle? Because you're showing up differently today and that has meaning." - Elizabeth Tidwell
I've been diving into a truth that feels both ancient and revolutionary: our hormonal cycles aren't something to overcome – they're gateways to different kinds of power. In this conversation with womb guide Elizabeth Tidwell, we unpack the Four Seasons Framework that transforms how we understand menstrual cycles. Whether you're experiencing these hormonal shifts yourself or love someone who does, this knowledge changes everything. I was honestly floored when Elizabeth revealed how our entire work structure is built around the 24-hour male hormonal pattern while completely ignoring the 28-day female cycle. What if we stopped trying to muscle through and instead harnessed the unique strengths of each phase? This isn't just about periods – it's about reclaiming wisdom that benefits everyone.

Dying to Smallness: Finding Your Creative Magic | Sarah Bonneville
17 Jan 2024
00:52:21
"I feel so obsessed with asking everybody that I ever talk to about what do you create? What are you creating? Everybody has the creator. You're the creator, I'm the creator. Not everybody feels that they identify with the word artist, but there is creation, there is creator... what I feel very focused on is locating what that is in people." - Sarah Bonneville
I sat down with a true gem of a human today - Sarah Bonneville - who embodies what it means to live an unapologetically authentic life. What struck me most about our conversation was how Sarah has embraced the uncomfortable process of transformation, dying daily to smallness and asking herself "how big can I get?" Her journey from quiet child to multi-dimensional creator feels like a masterclass in following your unique path. In this episode, Sarah opens up about creating her first album, carrying a funeral flag as a reminder of impermanence, and why she believes the world desperately needs your creative expression. This conversation sparked something deep in me about our collective awakening to the creator energy within each of us - I think you'll feel it too.

Why Nice Guys Struggle in Relationships | Addison Shock on Modern Masculinity
03 Oct 2024
01:21:24
"So many partnerships are the mother and the little boy dynamic, and I was in that. That was like a huge reason of the collapse of a nine-year relationship. Part of what contributes to this issue is that question that we just asked, 'What do I do as a woman to help the man in my life?' And I just want to say that is 100% not the responsibility of the woman. They're responsible for their own emotional landscape. And two, that does further perpetuate in some way, how women seek in a crafty way to get the man in their life to be in his masculine energy.
Women are shrewd, crafty and smart, it's a gift! But also as crafty as you think you are, the man is definitely sniffing that out. And what that most often is going to do is cause him to shut down because he doesn't want to be mothered. When he feels that, he responds like an ashamed little boy and shuts down.
Women have told me they don't feel like the man in their life listens, or wants to please them, and I'd say it's the exact opposite. They deeply desire to please and deeply want to show up for and care for, but so often that opportunity gets taken from them because there's an overly masculine energy. The men feel, 'No matter what I do, it's wrong, so I'm not even going to try anymore.'"

"That masculine energy of just being in our cognitive brain trying to fix things, trying to put out the fires with our brain, and instead come into this felt sense of safety and this knowing of I am okay.
