| #42 - Guided Meditation: Space for Possibility | 14 Aug 2025 | 00:08:52 | |
Take a few moments to pause, breathe, and open yourself to the possibilities already waiting for you. In this guided meditation, you'll release old thoughts and create space for what's meant to come into your life. Come back to this practice any time you need to feel grounded and open to possibility. I hope you enjoy it! Natalie

| #41 - The Value of Your Time | 10 Aug 2025 | 00:13:30 | |
Have you ever considered that one of your most valuable resources is your time? In this episode, I share some reflections on how we spend our time, and even how we sometimes take time away from others—often without much awareness. Sometimes we give it away because of social expectations, obligations, or simple politeness, even when we’d rather be doing something else. If we were truly honest with ourselves—and brave enough to use our time the way we really wanted—it could open the door to a whole new way of enjoying life.

| #32 When You Just Can't Find Your Gratitude | 28 Mar 2025 | 00:16:54 | |
Many of us have heard about the benefits of practising gratitude. But for some of us, maybe you feel you can't find any reason to feel gratitude. Something might be holding you back. In this episode, I share my thoughts on why a practice of gratitude can be a healthy way to change your mindset. But for those who struggle with finding anything to feel thankful for, I offer another option. Before you can begin any practice of gratitude, if something is holding you back, you need to learn to become familiar with how you actually feel. We’ve been taught for so long that feeling negative emotions is not a good thing, that we learn to suppress them. And if we’ve been taught that feeling a certain way is bad, then we often don’t even know how to face our true feelings. I share my views on why there is no right or wrong and how you feel because it’s how you feel. There’s two sides to every feeling and each of us at one point or another in our lives will experience both. Learning to understand how you really feel, to face it, and find acceptance in it is the first step in finding acceptance in yourself. When you practice becoming aware of how you feel, all of the words and thoughts in your head that create that story to justify your feelings begins to get weaker, which is a good thing. I share my views on why it’s more authentic to be in tune with how you feel than how you think. So if you’re struggling because you know you’re suppressing something or you can’t find your happiness, and you certainly can’t find a way to begin practising gratitude, tune in - to see if it’s something you might be willing to try. I have full confidence that if you open yourself up to this practice, you will begin to feel much better and you will be able to find your gratitude.

| #31 On Being True to Yourself | 02 Mar 2025 | 00:16:44 | |
In this episode, I share why it’s important to be true to yourself, without comparison to others, without fear of not being good enough. When you arrive each day in your life, as who you authentically are, you’re experiencing exactly what life is meant to be… for you. This is your life, and when you show up as YOU in each moment, you are able to experience the moments as they unfold for you. Living by comparison to what you think you should be, who you think you should be, what you should achieve, puts you in a place of not ever experiencing for yourself, not appreciating your moments, meant for you. Comparison takes you away from appreciating what is happening for you, and you may find yourself never feeling satisfied with the outcome. I share a couple of stories here about how this makes sense to me - in art, in yoga, in life. Join me.

| #30 Let It Go: A Meditation | 24 Feb 2025 | 00:09:50 | |
This meditation is to help anyone who is struggling with something, or maybe holding onto thoughts that they cannot seem to let go of. We all know that hanging onto thoughts or worries does not serve us. And even if you can’t release those thoughts today or tomorrow, please know that you have the strength within you to find your way. But for now, consider taking this few moments to tune into this short meditation - less than 10 minutes - to give yourself permission to let it go. Let Go of your thoughts and worries even for a few minutes, take a breath, relax. Even if just for this brief time, it could do you a world of good. We all have times when worries or thoughts get in our way, and reminding yourself to LET IT GO, can sometimes help keep us on track. P.S - I kept this one short for those who may find they get in their head about something, and don't have the time or interest in learning to meditate or take space for themselves. Taking this time may help you to discover that you can take a few moments from your day to make space for yourself; to take a breath and break from it all.

| #29 The Benefit of Going For It! (on doing something you always wanted to do, stepping out of your comfort zone, my thoughts about art class) | 08 Feb 2025 | 00:15:59 | |
In this episode I share my thoughts about why it’s important to do that thing you always wanted to do but never felt you had time, or maybe the confidence, to take the plunge. Stepping out of your comfort zone can open up a new world of possibilities and experiences. It’s important to fill your personal cup- as we often spend more of our time filling the cups for others. I also share my experience with a new painting class. How do you fill your personal cup?

| #28 Choosing You and Finding Your Joy (embracing relationship realities) - A Meditation | 07 Jan 2025 | 00:16:24 | |
This meditation is intended to give you a few moments to focus on yourself, to feel your essence and to discover that you have the wisdom within yourself to find your peace and happiness.
| |||
| #27 A New Approach to New Year's Resolutions | 31 Dec 2024 | 00:23:24 | |
It’s that time of year again when everyone will soon be bombarded with all of the advertisements and stories about how to become healthier and happier in 2025. We are all too familiar with setting new intentions for year ahead - when we often take the opportunity to reset, with plans to make changes to improve our lives, only to find that sometimes these well-meaning plans are abandoned within a few short weeks. In this episode, I invite you to consider a different approach. We often look outside ourselves for the answers to resolve many of the challenges we face in our lives. But in this episode, I explain why looking to the outside is not always helpful and it can sometimes set us on a path for failure. I hope you enjoy this episode. I truly believe if you allow yourself the time to learn more about YOU, and how you really feel, you may find yourself on an entirely new and fulfilling path for the year ahead.

| #26 - A Meditation to Help You Through the Holidays | 12 Dec 2024 | 00:20:43 | |
The Holiday Season is upon us, and although for many it is a joyful time, bringing with it thoughts of love, and time with our friends and families, it can also be a time of stress, worries, or frustration. This meditation offers a little breather for you, to take a few moments to reset, and remind yourself that the thoughts you carry can create feelings and emotions that can affect your energy. And often, the energy that others around you bring to your space can also affect how you feel, how you react, and it can impact your own energies. Using breathwork, and this time alone with yourself, to help you feel your own essence and presence, can help you become more aware of how these other energies, and how your own thoughts, can affect your emotions. Give yourself the gift of time, to take this 20 minutes for a little breather from the busy-ness, to remind you of the importance of breathing, and of protecting your own energy.

| #25 When the You That You Are Doesn't Work for Someone Else | 03 Dec 2024 | 00:18:35 | |
Have you ever felt that you frequently annoy someone else, someone in your life that you care about, even though you know they may care about you as well? and you feel that sometimes, just being the way you are somehow annoys them... your little quirky ways, or your way of moving, talking, your energy, or your caring? Sometimes, when you are told you are annoying, or someone does or says something to suggest that your behaviour is irritating them, you can be left feeling hurt, or even a little upset with them. But it can also affect how you feel about yourself. You wonder if they are right. Are you annoying?
| |||
| #24 - Trust In the Unfolding of Your Life (A Meditation) | 22 Nov 2024 | 00:12:59 | |
If you are feeling uncertain in life, not sure of the path to take, or perhaps feeling a little lost, or as if things just aren't working out for you as you intended, please know that all will be ok - we are all on our own unique journey in life. Sometimes the dark moments are there to teach you something, almost like guideposts - showing you that through these times, you can still see the light beyond. And in experiencing those moments (whether difficult times, or delays, uncertainty, or otherwise), you gain not only experience, but also the wisdom to learn from them. These times will guide you further along the path toward the light, the light which brings the acceptance, fulfillment, happiness, or love, that you may be seeking. Trust in the unfolding of your life, as it is meant to be.... for you.
| |||
| #23: Timelines - How appreciating our unique journey can help us in life and in relationships | 19 Oct 2024 | 00:15:59 | |
In this episode I share thoughts on how our lives are all uniquely ours. Our path in life may not always work out as we expect or hope. But in realizing that each of our journeys is unique to us, and that maybe we have certain lessons we are meant to learn, we may find a way to accept the path our life is taking. This way of looking at life, also helps us maybe to realize that when we are in a relationship, sometimes this person we care about isn't behaving in sync with our thoughts or desires - they are on their own timeline in life, and their timing is just not in sync with ours. Sometimes, when someone we care about does something to hurt us, or refuses to change patterns of behaviour that we have asked them to change, if we can realize their behaviour is not about us, but its about them - their unique path in life - then maybe we can release those emotions we usually have when them they behave this way. Or, maybe we can manage those reactions we might have had in the past and instead, find strength in knowing that WE have the ability to change our decisions or our actions, in response to that.

| #40 - Welcome the Day (Meditation) | 30 Jul 2025 | 00:09:29 | |
You start the morning every day with first breath as you awaken. Instead of jumping up, and mindlessly moving into the busy day ahead, there is value in taking a few short moments to welcome the day - for YOU! This short, guided meditation is about taking those first few moments of your new day for yourself! ...New breath, releasing the old, resetting, being open to the day ahead, and finding a sense of awareness for you - in how you feel, and to approach each moment with curiosity. Give it a try, and see how this start to a new day may help you stay aware of what is really here for you every day - YOUR breath, YOUR essence, YOU! I hope you like it! Natalie

| #22- A Meditation As We Transition to Autumn | 26 Sep 2024 | 00:11:58 | |
As the summer ends, we often find our thoughts consumed by all that we must do, what is to come, with little thought about the present moment. But saying goodbye to one season and entering another gives us that perfect opportunity to take a pause, a pause between the seasons – a little time to take a breather from our busy lives and the thoughts of the past and the future.
| |||
| #21-Insecurities: A Path to Self-Discovery and Peace | 24 Sep 2024 | 00:16:22 | |
In this episode I talk about insecurities-Those little personal “flaws” that we are often led to believe we have, learned from something perhaps we were told as a child, or observing the patterns and behaviors of others in society. Things that we don't like about ourselves, and that we carry with us, seemingly without any issue. But insecurities, even about what we may admittedly think are minor things, can affect our behaviors, our well-being and our relationships. In this episode, I talk about how insecurities are created by the external world, by that assumption that “sameness” is what we should all be striving for. However true contentment and peace comes from embracing our unique differences and understanding that when we live our truth, we not only embrace our own differences, but we can embrace those of others, thereby allowing us to live in a world with less judgment and more love. I welcome you to join me.
| |||
| #20: On Keeping Secrets (and the freedom that comes from releasing them and finding peace) | 03 Sep 2024 | 00:18:16 | |
In this episode, I share my thoughts on how damaging secrets can be, with a focus on those personal secrets we keep, hidden out of shame, embarrassment, fear of judgement. Secrets come from fear, and in hiding them, you may be suppressing or denying the event that happened. But your secrets are not you - YOU are not your secrets. It may have happened, or you may have done something you may now regret, and whether big or small, it is not you.
| |||
| #19: A Short Meditation to Give Yourself Love and Space | 22 Aug 2024 | 00:13:43 | |
This meditation is for YOU, to give you a few minutes to take a breather, get away from any thoughts of the past and future, to give yourself a little self-love, and to embrace yourself with gratitude for all that you are. We can all benefit from taking a few minutes each day just for us, and taking some quiet time to be in your own presence - with no distractions.
| |||
| #18 Getting to know YOU: The important practice of giving yourself space for finding and living your truth | 08 Aug 2024 | 00:31:15 | |
In this episode I share my thoughts on why it is important to take time to get to know YOU - the real you. We are often so caught up in the busy-ness of our lives, that we don't take time to even think about how we FEEL about our lives, how we feel about the activities we spend much of our time doing, or the relationships that play a constant role in our lives. How do we spend our energy? who do we give it to? what gives us energy? can we find our truth, and our purpose? Join me, as I share my thoughts on how, by giving yourself this bit of space just for you, it can be transformational for your life. It is when you become more aware of your own presence in the world in real time and how you feel in each of the moments that takes you through your life, that you can begin to discover more about the joy that comes from being you and it can lead you to the path of consciousness and enlightenment. Later in the episode I offer a few ideas on how you may be able to find some space for yourself each day. Thank you.

| #17: On Laughter & Hugs (and their impact on our well-being) | 24 Jul 2024 | 00:17:42 | |
In this episode, through a couple of personal stories and observations, I share my views about how hugs and laughter can make our lives, and our relationships, more meaningful. I also talk about the health benefits of laughter, and the value in taking some time to pay attention when we give or receive a warm embrace with someone we care about. Although a light-hearted topic, I invite you to tune in and consider how hugs and laughter play a role in your life, and whether you may just want to pay a little more attention to how they show up!

| A Meditation for Those Experiencing Pain (fr Ep #16) | 13 Jul 2024 | 00:24:00 | |
This meditation is to help those who may be experiencing significant pain, where there is a feeling that you cannot overcome it. If you tuned into Episode 16, released with this meditation ("On the Loneliness of Pain"), I explain how we can feel alone in our pain, and also how our thoughts can consume us in times of pain.
| |||
| #16: The Loneliness of Pain and Navigating Through It | 11 Jul 2024 | 00:17:35 | |
In this episode, I share my thoughts and reflections on the experience of pain, and how isolating it can be for those who experience it on a constant basis. Sometimes our thoughts can take us to a place where we feel unlike everyone around us, who seem to be carefree and full of energy. And we can feel as if we must hold our feelings deep inside as no one wants to hear about it, they don't understand it, and we don't want to bring people down. I share my views on how pain is a shared human experience that we all have at one time or another, but is ahuman experience that we often experience alone. But we are not alone in our pain. I discuss how the experience of pain can be different for everyone, which may lead to the lack of understanding in what we may be going through; and how our thoughts can play tricks on us, and allowing our thoughts about our pain, including how we think others react, can consume us and often make the pain experience worse. I share my thoughts on a few tools that may help us start to think about our pain differently, or at least to help us become more aware of those thoughts that can affect us and our experience of it; as well as some suggestions for finding ways to release your feelings about your pain - sharing your feelings in a supportive, non-judgmental manner is, in my view, an important way to help us navigate the pain experience, and maybe find a path toward managing it better.

| #15- From Sadness to Gratitude - A message from my younger self | 25 Jun 2024 | 00:07:41 | |
In this episode, I share something I recently came across that I had written about 25 years ago, during a time in my life when I felt very alone - a time of sadness, when I frequently carried feelings of grief, loss, along with a little uncertainty about my life. The poem came from a place where I took the time to reflect on how I was feeling, and I learned that from that reflection, I found gratitude for my life, my well being, and even for my ability to experience sadness.

| A Meditation to Stop Worrying, to Find Your Peace, and The Freedom to Be You. | 07 Jun 2024 | 00:21:46 | |
This Meditation is released along with Episode 14, "Stop Worrying About What Other People Think, and About Everything Else! My Thoughts on How LIfe Is Like a Dream". Feel free to check out that episode, where I share thoughts and tools on how meaningless our worries, are and how to stop that cycle! When you learn to let go of their hold, release them or simply observe them without attachment, you will find peace and strength and confidence in who you are and how you think, leading you to discover the pure bliss of consciousness and the true essence of your being, YOU, as you are meant to be.
| |||
| #39 Shifting Mindset: Curiosity & Compassion | 15 Jul 2025 | 00:10:35 | |
We often look to the outside world for answers, and sometimes it’s presumptuous for the outside world to tell us how to fix ourselves. I share some thoughts on these things, highlighting that you’re on the right path already !
| |||
| #14- Stop Worrying About What Other People Think, and About Everything Else! My thoughts on how Life is Like a Dream | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:22:22 | |
In this episode, I share my thoughts on how to break free from the cycle of those needless worries that are often filling your mind, by learning the power of conscious or mindful living. I share thoughts on how most of our worries are about what other people will think about us, fear of judgement by others. I explore the senseless nature of worries, and how they prevent us from fully experiencing life. And, I offer some practical thoughts on how becoming more conscious of the present moment, will help you to address worries as they creep into your thoughts (as we often live with these thoughts without even being aware of them). I also touch on the fleeting nature of life, comparing our life experiences to dreams.... moments that may be forgotten shortly after they have passed, illustrating just how senseless it is to worry about the thoughts someone else may have about you, not to mention, that you are often incorrect in your thoughts about what others may even be thinking!

| Meditation to Ease You Back to Sleep (from Ep #13) | 28 May 2024 | 00:13:00 | |
This Meditation is being released with Episode 13 (The 3AM Club: Finding Calm and Getting Back to Sleep). In Episode 13, I share personal stories about my sleepless nights, and how I found ways to calm my mind, and accept the wakeful moments, which has helped me to drift back to sleep. I explain in that episode why I created this meditation.
| |||
| #13: The 3AM Club: Finding Calm and Getting Back to Sleep | 17 May 2024 | 00:16:16 | |
In this episode, I share my sleep(less) stories, from the perspective of a 50 something female, who has learned all too well what 3 AM looks like, while all the world seems to be asleep. Having tried everything, I recently found a couple of ways to ease myself back into sleep, which I share here. I also share my experience with that 3 AM witching hour, that seems to happen - no matter where we are. Practising awareness, and accepting these quiet wakeful moments without judgment, can change how we look at sleeplessness, allow us to still our minds, and ease us back into slumber. I also share a bit of fun with howler monkeys!

| A Meditation: On Listening to Your Heart (from Episode #12) | 09 May 2024 | 00:09:14 | |
Often our decisions are made by listening to our thinking minds, which comes from past programming that can often be misinformed. In Episode 12, I share my thoughts on why we may want to rethink those "should do" messages coming from our thoughts, and instead start to become aware of how our heart feels. We can trust in our hearts, and if we can become aware enough to learn how to listen to our heart when it calls to us, we may find the answers to the questions that we may be asking ourselves.
| |||
| #12 - On Rethinking what you "should" do; and listening to your heart (with Meditation) | 02 May 2024 | 00:25:02 | |
In this episode, I talk about how telling ourselves that we should do something, usually means we are resisting it. If you really want to do something, you don't usually need to convince yourself that 'you should'. When we are resisting something, it may be a sign that we are doing something in opposition to our heart. I share my thoughts on how when we rethink those actions that come from our thinking minds (which are often misinformed by past programming), we may be able to hear the messages from our hearts. We cannot always trust in our logic, our thoughts; but we can trust our heart. I share thoughts on how we can practice listening to our hearts, to find the answers to the questions we may be asking ourselves. A meditation follows that provides some quiet moments to spend time with your heart, to begin the practice of listening to your heart. Join me .

| Meditation: Embracing your emotions, healing and trusting your inner wisdom (Ep #11) | 28 Apr 2024 | 00:12:43 | |
This Meditation follows my talk in Episode 11, where I share my thoughts on how we should pay attention to our emotions and reactions (whether edginess, frustration etc.) as they are here to tell us something about ourselves that we may be neglecting, or not facing. Embracing them can be a path to healing. Our inner wisdom is here to help us discover our personal truth. If you have not checked out Episode 11, please feel free to check it out!
| |||
| #11- Embracing your emotions - a path to healing (& Meditation) | 18 Apr 2024 | 00:20:22 | |
In this episode, I share thoughts on how we sometimes experience those not so welcome reactions or emotions (moments of impatience, frustration, edginess) and we dismiss them as feelings that just happen once in awhile, when we are too busy, too tired, or caused by something that happened or something that someone else said or did. But dismissing those emotions is like ignoring yourself - ignoring your own signal that you need something to be resolved. I offer you to be open to the possibility that your inner wisdom is sending you these messages so you can recognize that you are holding something, hiding or suppressing something deeper that perhaps needs to come up. By having compassion for ourselves, and allowing ourselves to let those feelings come up, to not oppose them, to be treat them as a message to be heard, you will find resolution and healing. A meditation follows.

| Coffee Talk: reflections on how coffee filters through life's moments (and how it appeared in my own) | 04 Apr 2024 | 00:15:16 | |
This episode was the product of waking up one sunny morning, listening to the coffee pot brewing, while I sat in front of an open patio door of my home, basking in the sunshine and listening to the birds. I began reflecting on the pleasure that sometimes comes from the regular sounds or tastes we experience so often during our lives, like coffee, and the sounds of chirping birds. So this fun little episode takes you on my coffee journey through some moments of my life. My purpose in sharing it, is that by going down my own little coffee journey, it brought back memories of life's moments that made me smile. And, if you allow yourself a few moments to think about how something as simple as brewing a cup of coffee may appear in the background of your life's moments, you may also find yourself experiencing some nostalgic moments of your life. Join me.

| A Meditation - On Appreciating Your Unique Life (Fr. Ep #9 - The Patchwork Quilt of Life) | 28 Mar 2024 | 00:08:11 | |
This is the "meditative message" included at the end of Episode #9, for those of you who like to access the short meditations without having to forward through the episode. This meditation allows you to take a few short minutes to relax, breathe a little, and to reflect on the beauty that is your unique life, even with all the messy parts. It reminds us not to compare our lives to others, as we all experience difficult times, and some parts that we maybe even wish could be replaced, but its sometimes those 'messy stitches of life' that guide you through to a better place. Be open to the journey that is your unique life! I hope you enjoy it.
| |||
| The Patchwork Quilt of Life: thoughts on how each of our lives are uniquely beautiful, even with all the messy parts | 21 Mar 2024 | 00:21:42 | |
In this episode, I share my thoughts on how I found comfort one day in thinking that life is like a patchwork quilt - sometimes created out of love, and perhaps sometimes pain, there are some parts where the stitches are perfect, and others where it is messy, and loose, and not so pretty. The patchwork quilt (and life) is beautiful in its entirety, even if some patches are rough and not so beautiful. And while each of our lives are uniquely ours, and we may have different experiences from anyone else, we may all have experienced similar feelings throughout our lives, of joy, love, pain, sadness, loneliness and loss. I also describe how we make incorrect assumptions about other people's lives, and perhaps if we all shared a little more, we would discover we are not alone. I touch on the concept of choosing happiness as well.
| |||
| #38 Breaking Patterns (Meditation) | 10 Jul 2025 | 00:10:48 | |
In this gentle, reflective meditation, we explore the patterns — both subtle and familiar — that show up in our daily lives. Whether it’s emotional cycles, physical responses, or quiet habits we didn’t realize were shaping our experience, this practice invites you to notice what’s been repeating without judgment. Through breath, awareness, and self-compassion, you’ll begin to soften the grip of old patterns and connect with the quiet wisdom within that already knows the way forward.

| Meditative Message (from Episode 8-"Taking Off Your Shoes")- thoughts on how to practice becoming more aware in the present moment | 13 Mar 2024 | 00:09:07 | |
This is the meditative message that followed by personal story in Episode 8, which I am providing here for anyone who wants to listen to this separately (without having to fast forward through my entire talk in Episode 8). This is not a meditation, per se, but a "meditative message", which I hope allows you to relax, find a few moments to reflect, and consider how we often allow our thoughts to distract us from being truly present during the beautiful moments in life. In this message, I also offer some thoughts on how you can begin to practice becoming more aware of the present moment.
| |||
| Reflections on "Taking Off Your Shoes" - how the simple act of taking off my shoes one day helped me find my way to the present moment; experiences through a child's eyes; vacations; practicing awareness | 10 Mar 2024 | 00:28:17 | |
In this episode, I share a story of how one summer day my decision to "take off my shoes" became one of my most memorable days, how other experiences that followed helped me to reflect on just how much repetition in our lives and our thoughts distract us from experiencing the beautiful moments in life, and some thoughts on how we can practice becoming more present. I welcome you to join me.

| Short breathing meditation to calm the overthinking mind (from Episode 7) | 05 Mar 2024 | 00:07:57 | |
This is the short meditation that includes breath work and mantra to help calm the overthinking mind. Although brief, it may allow you take a few minutes from your day to begin to learn the practice of box breathing. As you practice, you may decide to try other forms of breath work and even select your own preferred words for the mantra.

| On transitioning from a busy career to retirement, self-doubt, stopping the overthinking mind, and reflections on healing and finding balance | 24 Feb 2024 | 00:24:47 | |
In this episode, I share my personal experience (so far) about transitioning to retirement, managing some health issues, and my discovery that my overthinking mind was in more control than I realized. I had no idea that my plans to spend my newfound time with relaxation, creativity and healing were being impaired by my thinking/logical mind, which was always in overdrive. Learning and knowing about the value of mindfulness, meditation and finding presence is one thing, but learning how to practice it, to still my mind, is yet another. I share my thoughts in discovering a new way to start healing, followed by a meditation to help calm an overthinking mind.
| |||
| A Meditation to Start the Day | 09 Feb 2024 | 00:12:07 | |
This is a short meditation to begin your day on a positive note. It includes a little breath work, and a bit of positive affirmation. We can all benefit from a little self-love, reflection and compassion for ourselves. I would love if you took the time to try it out.
| |||
| On the Value of Listening in an increasingly distracted world - A Reflection on Meaningful Connections | 01 Feb 2024 | 00:19:32 | |
In this episode, I share my thoughts about how many of us have lost the art of listening, our distractions are consuming us, and we are not likely even aware of it. With our attentions directed at a screen most of the time, I reflect on how this is impacting our connectivity with others, and ultimately how it impacts our relationships, our lives and the lives of those around us. My thoughts follow with a meditative talk, to give you time to reflect on how this may impact your life. 0:34 About this episode

| A Meditation on Self-Love and Inner Wisdom (from Episode 4) | 17 Jan 2024 | 00:05:57 | |
This is a meditation I created for Episode 4 - The Key Components for a Healthy Life. It encompasses many aspects of well-being and it can apply to us any day we need a little self-love or to remind ourselves that we have the inner wisdom to make the right choices for ourselves. I hope you enjoy it as well.

| Key Components for a Healthy Life - A Focus for 2024 | 12 Jan 2024 | 00:46:03 | |
In this episode, I share my thoughts on the 10 key elements for a healthy life, and a few personal stories. I believe these are perspectives that even health advocates of opposing views may agree upon. It's perhaps a starting point for some people, and a bit of a reminder for others. Following my talk is "My Message to You", a short meditative message.

| Are we living on autopilot? Thoughts on finding balance, unwinding, and saying no | 16 Dec 2023 | 00:27:16 | |
In this episode I describe how we may sometimes feel that our lives are so busy we don't have time to take a breath, and we may feel we are living on autopilot. I describe my experience in discovering that I may have become constantly "wound", and how I came to realize the importance of unwinding. I share some of my story, followed by my message to you, and a short meditation.

| Now is the Time: On taking time for yourself, for a little self reflection (meditation incl.) | 16 Dec 2023 | 00:08:49 | |
In this episode, I discuss the value in taking time to discover who you are. We are often so caught up in the activities of our lives, that we don't take the time to reflect on how we truly feel about the lives we are living and who we really are, or who we want to be. The practice of journaling can release thoughts within us that we never knew we had, moving us toward a better understanding of our true nature. I include a meditative message at the end, words you can adopt to make your own.

| #37 Caring without Carrying: A Yoga-inspired reflection on relationships | 23 Jun 2025 | 00:19:46 | |
Sometimes we confuse kindness with over-giving, or compassion with being endlessly available — especially with family or close friends. But when your energy is being drained and your peace disturbed, is it still kindness? In this episode, I reflect on the yogic principles of ahimsa (non-harm) and satya (truth), and how they can guide us to protect our inner stability, especially when emotional dynamics with loved ones feel overwhelming. This is a conversation for anyone who’s ever felt pulled into someone else’s storm — and wondered if there's a better way to stay anchored.

| #35 Finding Myself, In Yoga (reflections after 1st week of YTT) | 16 May 2025 | 00:12:17 | |
In this episode, I share what I’m discovering in the first days of yoga teacher training - 11 hour days filled with movement, meditation, learning the ancient teachings, and deep self-inquiry. I reflect on how trying something new can unlock powerful, unexpected growth. This isn't just about yoga poses or anatomy—it's about the beauty and challenge of self-discovery, connection, and finding your place, even when fear and self-doubt arise. It's about what happens beneath and beyond the physical practice. It's about what unfolds when we allow ourselves to be seen, when we challenge long-held stories, and when we meet ourselves with honesty, sometimes for the first time in years. I talk about the unexpected emotions that surfaced, the assumptions we carry into new spaces, and what it means to show up with vulnerability. And it’s also about discovering that we are all far more alike than we realize—once we begin to set aside the masks shaped by a world that taught us to protect, to perform, or to hide. When those filters fall away, we begin to find ourselves in each other.
