  • Money Medicine: Healing Your Wealth Wounds & Receiving Abundance
    Jul 3 2025

    Imagine having a completely different relationship with money—one where abundance flows naturally, financial decisions feel empowering, and scarcity thoughts no longer control your life. In this transformative episode, we break down the concept of "money medicine" and how it can heal the wealth wounds keeping you trapped in limiting patterns.

    Did you know that most people's money beliefs are formed by age seven? Or that financial stress activates neural pathways that physically block abundance? We reveal the shocking research showing how scarcity thinking actually lowers your IQ by 13 points—the equivalent of losing an entire night's sleep—and keeps you trapped making decisions from a place of fear rather than possibility.

    We dive deep into the ten most common wealth wounds, from the scarcity wound ("there's never enough") to the worthiness wound ("I don't deserve money") to the safety wound ("money makes me unsafe"). These emotional, generational, and energetic imprints create powerful subconscious patterns that sabotage your financial wellbeing. The good news? Every wound you heal becomes wisdom you can embody.

    The most powerful shift happens when you recognize that money is simply energy—neither good nor bad—and your relationship with it determines everything. We share five practical "money medicine" techniques including somatic safety practices, reparenting your inner money child, and our transformative "Money BFF" approach that has helped countless clients break free from financial anxiety and step into abundance.

    Whether you're struggling with debt, underearning, overspending, or simply feeling disconnected from your financial power, this episode offers a roadmap to healing. Because ultimately, healing your money wounds isn't just about getting rich—it's about getting free. Join us on social media to share how this episode helped transform your relationship with money and abundance!

  • Integrating the Shadow: How Owning Your Darkness Leads to Real Light
    Jun 27 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the parts of yourself you've been hiding or rejecting hold the key to your greatest power and fulfillment? In this illuminating episode, we journey into the depths of shadow work, transforming it from something intimidating into a path for profound self-liberation and empowerment.

    Shadow work isn't about battling your demons—it's about reclaiming the disowned parts of yourself that are begging to be seen, both wounds and gifts alike. Your shadow, coined by Carl Jung, is that collection of traits, emotions, and abilities you've pushed into the unconscious, whether because they felt too painful, powerful, taboo, or shameful. These shadows don't disappear when ignored; they run the show from behind the curtain, creating what we call "shadow loops"—those negative thought patterns that studies show make up 80% of our thinking.

    We break down five practical steps to shadow integration: naming your shadow without shame, witnessing patterns without reacting, using somatic practices to feel and release emotions, reframing shadow traits as potential strengths, and embodying your whole self through consistent ritual practices. Through personal stories, we illustrate how traits once rejected (like sensitivity) can become superpowers when properly integrated and expressed.

    The most common shadow work misconceptions are demystified—from assuming the shadow is only negative (when it also contains brilliance and creativity), to confusing integration with indulgence, to believing it's a one-time project rather than a cyclical journey of growth. As Carl Jung wisely noted, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

    Your wholeness—not your perfection—is your medicine. By embracing polarities like being both strong and tender, fierce and forgiving, you access a more authentic and empowered version of yourself. What shadow trait is asking for your attention right now? Join us in making shadow work sexy, as we venture into our inner laboratories where true alchemy happens.

  • From Reactivity to Response: The Art of Choosing Peace Over Patterns
    Jun 20 2025

    Send us a text

    Have you ever said something in the heat of the moment and instantly regretted it? That regrettable moment reveals the profound difference between reaction and response—a distinction that can transform your relationships.

    Your nervous system isn't your enemy—it's your compass, guiding you toward what feels safe and aligned. When we react, our past wounds take control, bypassing our logic and values in just milliseconds. These reactions stem from the amygdala's fight-flight-freeze response and last about 90 seconds in the body unless fed by negative thought patterns. According to the Gottman Institute, a staggering 69% of relationship conflicts revolve around these recurring reactive patterns.

    The path to emotional sovereignty lies in understanding both masculine and feminine regulation. The mature masculine breathes before reacting, protects without controlling, and leads with grounded presence. Meanwhile, the mature feminine feels deeply without being consumed, expresses truth without drama, and nurtures without self-sacrifice. Both require moving beyond cultural conditioning that limits emotional expression.

    We explore a powerful three-step process to transform reactivity into intentional response: pause (even three deep breaths create a pattern interrupt), name the trigger without blame, and choose an aligned action by asking "What would my highest self do here?" This process creates freedom by breaking automatic loops and opening space for choice.

    Daily practices for "nervous system hygiene" are essential—breathwork, cold showers, EFT tapping, setting boundaries, and inner child check-ins all contribute to regulation. Remember, regulation isn't about staying calm; it's about staying connected to your values even during challenging moments. The distinction is vital: reaction escalates while response elevates.

    Viktor Frankl wisely noted, "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose." By mastering the art of response, you reclaim your power from the past and create relationships built on presence, understanding, and peace. Ready to choose peace over patterns? Your freedom plan starts with a power pause.
