We'll explore the essence of my song "Make a Commotion" and delve into the energy of Human Design Gate 8, focusing on the importance of authentic self-expression and the unique contributions we each bring to the world.

Life is a journey of ups and downs. It's a constant unfolding as we climb life's mountains one step at a time. We're always becoming. We are the Phoenix rising from the ashes, rising up into the version on our path of becoming.

There are personal stories we hold close to our hearts, guarding and locking them away from the outside world because of pain, fear, and self-doubt. Often there’s personal shame and judgment tied to the story…or fear of being shamed or judged by others. Over time this can eat away at us and keep us stuck. It can keep us from growing, healing, and transcending beyond the pain.

Growth and healing can certainly be scary, messy, and uncomfortable in the beginning. However, it’s also liberating and beautiful…after a while, you're able to look back and see how far you’ve come. You’re able to soar to new heights you never even dreamed possible. Sharing your personal story has the power to help you begin to heal, but also to empower others to heal…to find the light and courage that they themselves haven’t yet found.

In this episode, we share the healing journey of a character from one of my short stories that finds forgiveness, healing, and liberation from the weight of his own story that has held him hostage for 40 years. Through sharing his story with an empathetic and kind stranger he finds the freedom and healing his heart and soul had been seeking for far too long. I invite you to let this episode encourage you to find your own healing through the power of storytelling.

Divining into the transformative energy of gate 47 in human design and looking at the energy of the butterfly emerging from its cocoon of darkness into the light…transformed and ready to soar through the sun-kissed sky. 

I invite you to join the conversation, get inspired by the poetry, and connect with your own inner wisdom, strength, and courage to face your self-doubts, fears, and challenges.

I share a moving story that came to me through a dream. Here you'll find wisdom and strength that comes from understanding the power of surrender. Surrender could be emotional surrender and finding hope and peace beyond the release or it could be releasing yourself from fear and self-doubt and finding the peace that comes from surrendering to your own inner wisdom and strength.

Dive in with me in this episode where we explore the themes of Saturn Retrograde and possible areas for personal growth through a poetic journey of Human Design, Astrology, Mythology, and a touch of Astronomy. Here You'll find questions that will help you explore areas for finding peace and freedom within yourself, your relationships, and environments to help you feel at home.

Grief is never easy. It comes in different forms. When you think you're in a good place, it resurfaces. The way we cope and how it shows up for each of us as individuals is going to look different. Regardless, our emotions are valid and it's ok to feel the full range of your emotions. Grief is something we tend to feel uncomfortable talking about, yet it's something that needs to be talked about. It's the elephant in the room everyone is afraid to bring up because we're afraid we'll say or do the wrong thing. However, not talking about it makes things worse.

The Saturn Retrograde begins June 4th, it's a journey to reflecting on your goals, slowing down, overcoming challenges you've been facing, and setting boundaries. Review your values and see where you'd like to make changes to bring more joy, peace, and harmony to your life. Lean into trusting that your value doesn't equal how much you do, but who you are and how you show up in the world...so you can shine at your brightest and magnetize others with light you radiate out into the world. 

A look at how the role of values play in our personal lives and that of the collective, both from a place of alignment and shadow/misalignment. Let's dive deep and look at how tools like Human Design’s gate 50, the gate of values strives to help us find harmony in our lives, relationships, and the collective as a whole. 

Join me in a conversation about leaning into what lights you up and stepping into your power by speaking your truth and sharing what you feel called to share with the world. I share tools and modalities that have been expanders in helping me love and understand myself deeply and that are now also helping me to step into my power, despite the fear of what others…of what society will think.

Showing up authentically can make us feel vulnerable and doubt ourselves. It can make us afraid of what others may say or think, dim our light, or shrink into something we're not to fit in. Here's some encouragement to emboldened you to step boldly into the world authentically as you.

There's magic in the energy of playfulness and curiosity. When we stay curious and playful, following the little nudges from our intuition, highest self, and inner authority; we invite in ease and flow so we can take inspired action.

As humans, we have a tendency to hold onto ideas, stories, outdated thoughts, and beliefs that no longer serve us because fear and self-doubt have a way of keeping us from growing and transforming in those areas. However, it also keeps us small, dims our light, and prevents us from growing and transforming. By releasing those things that are no longer serving us, we’re able to shed our old skin that no longer fits and show up authentically as who we are.

A gentle reminder and encouraging words to shine light into the darkness you're afraid to face and give you the courage to find the strength within to heal, grow, and transform.
