But what’s really happening beneath the surface? Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand, no overly complex science jargon, just the basics of why this works and how it affects you.

Letting Go of the ‘Perfect’ Timeline and Trusting Your Path

We’ve all been there, comparing ourselves to others, wondering why we’re not “further along” by now, and feeling like life is running behind schedule.

Society loves to hand us a checklist: graduate by this age, build your career by that age, find your partner, have a family, buy a home… all by some invisible deadline. And when life doesn’t go according to plan, it’s easy to feel like we’re failing.

But here’s the truth: there is no “perfect” timeline.

The Connection Between Self-Worth and Your Energy Field

The Connection Between Self-Worth and Your Energy Field

Your energy field, the subtle layers of energy that surround and flow through you, is like a mirror for your inner world. When you feel confident, worthy, and aligned, your energy radiates in a way that draws in opportunities, healthy relationships, and experiences that match that frequency.

When your self-worth takes a hit, your energy field feels it too. It can become contracted, heavy, or scattered, which can unintentionally send out signals that you’re available for less than you deserve.

Understanding this connection is powerful, because it means you can work on your energy and your self-worth at the same time, and both will grow stronger.

4 Signs You’re Experiencing an Energetic Upgrade (and How to Navigate It)

Every so often, life pushes us into a period of accelerated growth, a time when our mind, body, and soul start shifting to a higher frequency. I call this an energetic upgrade.

It’s exciting, but it can also feel… intense. You may question what’s happening, or even wonder if something is “wrong” with you. But more often than not, you’re just adjusting to a new energetic baseline, one that aligns you with greater clarity, purpose, and connection.

Here are 4 signs you might be going through an energetic upgrade, plus ways to navigate it with more ease.

Harnessing the Lions Gate Portal & Aquarius Full Moon Energy

This week holds an incredible energetic gateway — one that can open you up to deep transformation if you choose to work with it intentionally.

On Friday, August 8th, we experience the Lions Gate Portal, an annual alignment when the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius (often called our “spiritual sun”), and Earth line up in a powerful energetic channel. It’s a time known for heart-opening, intuition-heightening, and manifestation-boosting energy. The number 8 itself represents balance, abundance, and infinite potential — and this year, that symbolism is doubled.

Then, on Saturday, August 9th, we welcome the Aquarius Full Moon, which brings forward themes of freedom, innovation, and authentic self-expression. Aquarius is a sign that challenges us to think beyond the box, connect with our communities, and trust our inner visionary.

The Loneliness Epidemic: Why Community is More Important Than Ever

We live in a time when connection has never been easier—or more elusive.

Between social media, texting, and Zoom calls, it can feel like we’re always “plugged in.” Yet so many people are quietly suffering in isolation. In fact, loneliness has become so widespread that researchers now call it an epidemic, one that’s as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

We’re not meant to carry everything alone. And if you’ve been feeling the ache of disconnection, you’re far from alone.

Walking with the Medicine: Reflections on Ayahuasca and Sacred Plant Healing

Walking with the Medicine: Reflections on Ayahuasca and Sacred Plant Healing

I’ve always believed that true healing isn’t something that happens in a single moment—it’s something we commit to over and over again. For me, the path to that commitment began in 2020, when the pandemic dismantled much of the life I’d worked so hard to build.

I had spent years doing everything “right.” I lost a significant amount of weight. I was preparing to open a group fitness gym. From the outside, it looked like I was thriving. But underneath, I was battling a deep, unshakable depression. I was tired of trying to outrun my pain with productivity or the next big goal. I knew I needed to explore something beyond the frameworks I’d always been taught.

That curiosity—and desperation—led me to begin working with psilocybin. I had a lot of time to reflect, and during those early journeys, I started to see just how much I was carrying that didn’t belong to me: old stories, shame, perfectionism. But even then, I felt there was something more waiting for me to discover.

In 2021, I sat with Ayahuasca for the first time.

Reclaiming Eros: How Your Sexual Energy Fuels Personal Power and Creativity

When many people hear the word eros, they think only of sex. But eros is much more than physical intimacy—it’s your life force itself. It’s the vital energy that moves through your body, animates your spirit, and fuels your capacity to create, connect, and experience pleasure.

In my work as an energy practitioner and sound healer, I’ve witnessed again and again how powerful it is when someone begins to reconnect with this part of themselves. Whether through sound vibrations that melt away old shame or breath practices that unlock frozen emotions, coming back into relationship with your erotic energy is one of the most profound forms of healing.

Today, let’s explore what eros really is, why so many of us have become disconnected from it, and how reclaiming it can transform your well-being and self-expression.

Movement as Medicine: Why Your Body Needs to Move to Heal

Have you ever gone for a walk to “clear your head,” stretched out after a long day and suddenly felt emotional, or danced so freely that you forgot what was weighing you down?

That’s not random. That’s healing.

Movement is not just a physical act—it’s a form of energetic alchemy. It’s how we shake off stuckness, how we metabolize emotions we didn’t even know we were carrying, how we return to ourselves when we’ve been living too long in our heads.

Let’s explore why movement is one of the most potent medicines for healing, especially for those on a spiritual, emotional, or energetic path.
