130: The Path to Self-Actualization: Anchoring in Your Body and Vision25 Sep 202400:36:05

In this episode, I explore the journey of elevating your energy and frequency by becoming fully anchored in your body and mind. I dive into the process of surrender and examine how often we unknowingly add distractions to our lives to avoid confronting our true potential. This subconscious self-sabotage, often fueled by fear of becoming our most successful and self-actualized selves, can keep us stuck in patterns of over-complication and resistance.

I also get into the deeper emotional work necessary to clear the mental and emotional clutter that blocks our path to growth. By releasing these old wounds and creating space within ourselves, we open up to receive what is meant for us.

Join me for this guide to unlocking your potential, tapping into your power, and embracing the flow that leads to your highest self.

I dive into:

  • How to let go of resistance and allow natural flow
  • The importance of setting boundaries with your ego while holding yourself with compassion
  • Strategies to release patterns of self-sabotage, and invite the ease of evolution and growth
  • Understanding how fear of success and self-actualization can trigger avoidance behaviors
  • Practical steps to cultivate fierceness in your vision without falling into over-complication
  • And more

030: Tips to Expand Your Self-Pleasure Experience12 Oct 202200:56:11

Self-pleasuring. Mmm, it’s so juicy. But I didn’t naturally gravitate toward it. And I know that might be the case for some of you. But when I began to allow myself to really get present and create time to be with my pussy, my creative source - it became a practice that expanded my capacity for pleasure and brought so much healing (and I want that for you too).

In today’s episode, I dive deep into self-pleasure and my tips for making it an experience that changes your life. Because touching your body is so important, and connecting with this part of you that perhaps you have ignored, will be so powerful. 

I dive into:

  • Climax and orgasm - is there a difference?
  • Why you might want to change up your self-pleasure routine
  • My favorite tips from my personal self-pleasuring experiences

029: Yin Love is a Game Changer05 Oct 202200:54:25

We often put yang love on a pedestal (the external, masculine, expressive kind of love). 

But the energy of true, unconditional yin love? That can shift everything. 

Today, I’m sharing a transmission inspired by my spiritual teacher, my dad. I’m diving deep into his teachings around unconditional love - and how you can allow yourself to love in a way that perhaps you haven’t been able to before. 

Do you desire to tap into a more accepting, more understanding, and more true love energy that will completely change your relationships & sex? Let’s get into it. 

I dive into:

  • My dad and his teachings as a Taoist (he didn’t start that way, he used to be a Jesuit priest!)
  • The difference between yin love & yang love
  • Making the powerful shift from expectation to acceptance
  • A story of my trauma response inside of a relationship - and finding yin love for myself
  • The ways you can gain more access to this love energy so you can change your relationships & sex
  • And more

028: How Eye Contact Impacts Sex (and Life)28 Sep 202200:50:52

It wasn’t until my 40’s that I truly made love. (And for all my late bloomers out there, take this as permission to heal in your own time. It takes the time that it takes!) For me, and I’m sure a lot of you, dropping into the energy of receptivity was very difficult. And that kept me from the real, intimate sex that I craved. 

So, what changed? How did I make the shift from controlling and disconnecting from my partners and lovers, to being in the energy of receptivity?

One way was - making eye contact and letting in the connection.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a transmission around the power of eye contact and how it can expand your capacity to receive and build your self-intimacy so you can have better sex, more intimacy with your partner, and more importantly, more profound intimacy with yourself. 

I dive into:

  • Eye contact during sex - why it’s so powerful and the shifts I’ve made around this
  • The energies of pussy & heart (and the power of bringing them together)
  • Controlling & energetically penetrating your partner vs. receiving the energy of love
  • The energetic difference between being strong and being powerful
  • Bringing turn-on to shadow work
  • The profound practice of mirror work - and why I want you to do it
  • And more

Your body is so alive. 

And when you learn to drop in and really listen to what it's trying to tell you - all kinds of magic & miracles become available to you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing an important transmission around the exploration and power of our bodies. This work has freed me. And I know it can liberate you too. Your body is storing so much information, so much potential healing, and so much potential to experience pleasure.

013: Remembering Who You Are with Ashley Brockington15 Jun 202201:00:23

In this episode I dive in with my friend, gorgeous free spirit & astrologer, Ashley Brockington. She shares with such tenderness about her childhood self-discovery and wounds, her experience around grief with her breakup after 9 years, and the rediscovery of her beauty, independence, and connection to the divine - a remembrance of who she is at the core. Join us as we discuss really owning your brilliance and beauty and the powerful journey to figuring out who you really are.

We dive into:

  • Ashley’s experience with childhood wounds, transitioning from city life & her path to self-discovery
  • Her grief after ending a 9-year relationship - and the gifts she received from the experience
  • The one, simple question that awakened something in me (and the top 3 teachers in my life)
  • And more



Ashley Brockington is proud to be approaching that stage in life commonly referred to as "a certain age." Her earliest memory is of Kindergarten which she entered at age four due to an accelerated intellect. It was here that she learned that she could steal someone's joy simply by withholding her smile. She's certain that this is the reason that she is so loose with her smile now. She is a slutty slut when it comes to smiling at strangers. Give her a glory hole of social activity and she is going to stick her big dick energy right into it. Ashley has been referred to as a Bitch Nigger, a self-taught genius with panache, Auntie Ashley and Booby Fart Face. Find her online at #nappysnatch interpreting the stars. She is also a professional astrologer.

012: Cultivating Vibrancy in Life & Marriage with Meenal Kelkar08 Jun 202200:53:44

Whether it was her pain, pleasure, arousal, or orgasmic energy - my guest, Meenal Kelkal, had to fight fiercely to be able to drop into her body and feel these sensations. In today’s episode, she shares so generously and transparently about her history of sexual trauma and dissociation and the numbness she experienced in her body and sex as a result. We talk about the gorgeous dynamic between Meenal and her husband, and the inspiring ways they keep their marriage vibrant, sexy & growing after 30+ years. Yes, you read that right! She’s dropping gems from 34 years of experience inside a playful, connected marriage - you don’t want to miss it. 

We dive into:

  • Cultivating a vibrant, playful & expansive marriage through inner work
  • Some health challenges for Meenal and her husband Kris - and what they decided that resulted in a pivotal shift in their lives
  • Meenal’s long history of numbness in her body - and her fight to reclaim her body’s sensations
  • The story of her energetic orgasm - out in nature!
  • How her trauma showed up in the bedroom with her husband (and the beautiful path of healing they went on to open and connect sexually)
  • And more



Meenal Kelkar has what could be called a very non-traditional traditional marriage with her husband, Kris. They are both rule-breakers and truth-seekers. They have systematically dismantled all of the duty-bound shoulds that their arranged-marriage-based Indian community sought to impose on them. They have broken free into a consciousness-laden, passion-led, limitless life guided by their Third. One of their many passions is passing these teachings on to others, which resulted in their book, “Relating Revolution: All It Takes Is One Person To Change” and the 6-week course that builds on that book. They weave together teachings from HeartMath, Nonviolent Communication, Council, Dr Joe Dispenza, Gay and Katie Hendricks, Mama Gena, Yoga and many more. Those who benefit the most from our courses are those who already understand that we all create our own experience of reality. From that common ground, together we launch into the stratosphere of what relationship truly is.

She shares deeply about her massive expansion in the last couple years as a singer, songwriter & performer and her journey to being kinder to herself and allowing her authentic self to lead. We get into the courage and trust it takes to lean into our edges, discovering new levels of gratitude, and Eleri’s exciting opportunity to tour with Josh Groban. We’re having breakthroughs over here! Come join us…

Eleri has been singing and acting since she was eight years old and has always strived to carve out her own space with the uniqueness she brings to the theater. She studied songwriting at Berklee College of Music before transferring and graduating from The Boston Conservatory with a BFA in Musical Theater and an emphasis in Songwriting, which shows itself clearly in the way she has taken on the Sondheim canon.

118: Taking Risks and Reframing Failure03 Jul 202400:30:24

So often we avoid taking a step forward toward our desires because of ego, trauma, or the subconscious stories that keep us stuck in our patterns. 

That’s why doing the work to allow yourself to be with what is, notice your patterns, and shift them is essential to doing the things that you’re afraid of. 

This week, I’m diving deep into the idea of failure and the power of taking risks. I explore "future tripping," the ego's desire to keep us small, and how past traumas can create subconscious mechanisms that hold us back. 

Ready to do that thing you’re scared of? Join me for a powerful episode on the importance of holding a vision of what you desire, listening to your intuition, and seeing failure as a gift so you can regulate your nervous system - and then leap.

I dive into:

  • The power of taking risks for personal growth and transformation
  • Reframing failure and facing your fears
  • Trauma, the ego, and “future tripping”
  • Leaning into the messy middle: regulating your nervous system & embracing micro-moments to move you forward
  • And more

116: Timing is Everything: Cultivating Mental Fierceness19 Jun 202400:28:13

Timing is everything. 

In this episode, I dive into the crucial role of timing in cultivating mental fierceness and how practicing true mindfulness can help you rewire your brain and nervous system 1% at a time. Drawing from my experiences as a healer (and my time as a dog walker and trainer), I share the importance of awareness and consciousness, the effectiveness of observing the mind before reactivity (instead of during or after), and how to discern between your true voice and your ego's voice so you can develop a fierce love and protectiveness for yourself.

I dive into:

  • The role of timing in cultivating mental fierceness
  • Breaking patterns of negative self-talk through mindfulness and body awareness
  • Discerning between your true voice and your ego’s voice
  • My time as a dog walker and trainer - and why it matters in my work as a healer
  • The effectiveness of catching yourself in reactivity: before, during & after
  • And more

113: Being Yourself is the Best Brand29 May 202400:54:29

Being yourself is the best brand.

But many of us carry a block within our bodies that hinders our ability to show up and be heard, seen, and felt as our truest selves. To overcome this, deeper healing and nervous system work around our visibility and voice are essential. 

In this episode, I’m diving into the importance of building a brand that reflects who you truly are and how to practice the being and doing cycle (the Yin and Yang) of visibility work to unravel and shed the layers that keep you from embracing your most authentic self and truest purpose. I get into the powerful and foundational Yin work crucial to getting unstuck in your life and work and how surrendering to what is, whether it's anger, grief, or resistance, allows these emotions to move, reducing your suffering and frustration around showing up. 

Join me to lean further into this internal visibility work so you can cultivate a calm confidence and sense of safety that allows you to show up as your truest self in the world.

I dive into:

  • Integrating and embracing different parts of the self to create an authentic & magnetic brand
  • The importance of the being and doing cycle (the Yin and Yang) of visibility
  • Exploring our unconscious patterns of self-dimming
  • The connection between visibility and numbness, disconnection, or anger
  • The role of intuition in embodying your most confident and authentic self
  • And more

Growing up across cultures with an interracial family and struggling with her own mental health concerns sparked her curiosity about psychology.

128: Prioritizing Your Needs and Desires11 Sep 202400:27:06

Many of us struggle with identifying our vision and uncovering what we genuinely want, often operating on autopilot in our lives. Today I’m exploring how to break free from that cycle to become more intentional.

In this episode, I dive deep into the essential yet often overlooked practice of prioritizing yourself—your needs, desires, and big-picture vision. I explore the difference between foundational needs, rooted in your core (root chakra), and the desires of your heart and creative spirit (sacral and heart chakras) and how by understanding these layers, we can learn to create a holistic vision for our lives and identify the individual desires that make up that bigger picture.

Join me for this foundational work to put yourself first—because everything else in your life follows when you thrive.

I dive into:

  • Practical steps to uncover your desires and create space for you to have them
  • Root chakra needs vs. sacral & heart chakra desires
  • Using your body’s intuition to set boundaries and discern a "yes" or "no"
  • The importance of being resourced as you prioritize your own needs
  • And more
