It's like we're supposed to have some a-ha moment where it becomes clear why we're here and what we're meant to do. For me, life purpose has been more of a slow unfolding.

Episode 67: Why Rest Matters
October 05, 2023 08:00 - 51 minutes - 47.5 MBRest is one of those seemingly simple concepts. Rest! How complex can that be? Doesn't everyone want to rest? Isn't rest inherently rewarding? If that were true, why are we a culture of burned out, overworked, and disconnected people? On today's episode, we're talking about the radical practice of rest. Not because I have it nailed, but because I'm practicing alongside you. Turns out rest, in its various forms, can be a powerful tool for liberation - if we are courageous enough to stick with...

Episode 60: Why Imagination Matters
June 22, 2023 08:00 - 44 minutes - 41.2 MBToday we delve into the power of visualization and manifestation. Not the individualistic, spiritual bypassy kind, but the visualization and dreaming that liberation leaders have been teaching for 100s of years. We spend a lot of time talking about what's terrible in the world. How does imaging the kind of world we want to live in shift our energy and our actions?

Doing The Work
March 30, 2023 08:00 - 53 minutes - 48.7 MBAs we wrap up the first quarter of 2023, I wanted to give you an update on my own personal growth project.

Ep 49: The Courage to Quit with Kristen Rebelo
December 15, 2022 09:00 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBQuitting gets a bad rap. We're told all our lives to hang in there, push through, persevere. That quitting is weak. Quitting is for losers.

She was vulnerable and courageous enough to share what my friend and life coach Heather Melver calls "the messy middle." I hope our conversation inspires you to...
Ep 48: Caring for Aging Parents with Erin Chourey
December 01, 2022 09:00 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBI've been thinking a lot about aging and the end of life lately. Probably from working at the hospital. Being aware of my parents' stage of life reminds me of the inevitable reality that I'll lose them someday. My work has given me a front-row view of the aging process. As a coach and hospital social worker, I get to witness the emotions and family dynamics that arise as our loved ones age. Dominant culture tends to treat aging as something to avoid. The process of aging is often met wit...
Ep 47: Mutual Aid with AJ McCreary and LaQuisha Minneweather
November 10, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MBToday we are talking about mutual aid. Why? Because I'm wondering if engaging in mutual aid might be a means for healing as well as personal and collective transformation. See, one thing I frequently hear from people is that they feel powerless to change "the system." They don't know how we can possibly dismantle racism, capitalism, or the patriarchy. They feel like their personal efforts won't ever be enough. I disagree. I believe our personal efforts - our learning, our growing awaren...
Ep 46: Taking Up Space with Lauren K. Roberts
October 27, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBWhy is it so hard to put ourselves out there sometimes? What holds us back from going after our dreams? From believing in ourselves? From taking risks to fulfill our purpose or our deeper desires? Fear, yes. But WHY? Where does this fear come from? What do we stand to gain when we learn how to take up space? What do our communities, families and even the world stand to gain? How do we take up space when we're mindful of the privileges we hold and the fact that many people's voices ar...

In the Belong to You Habits Program, our morning routine includes waking with the sun (once we are well rested this becomes easier), setting our mind "right", drinking water before coffee, and moving our bodies.

Ep 41: Belong to You Habits: Evening Routine
September 15, 2022 08:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MBFor the past 5 years, I've been teaching simple, mind-body habits to help people reconnect with themselves. The habits I teach are common sense and all-natural. They support your physical well-being and mental and spiritual well-being as well. Together they are called the Belong To You Habits. I chose this name because I think that's really what they do - they bring us back in touch with ourselves, with how we feel and what we desire. When we are connected to our feelings, our thoughts, an...
Ep 40: What Creates Change
August 18, 2022 08:00 - 49 minutes - 45 MBI've been thinking a lot about what creates change. Like, what qualities or tools do we need to actually create change in ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. I mean, there are a 1000 different takes on this. Everyone promising they have the keys or magic to make our lives whole. It's so easy for me to get bogged down and confused. Should I be doing this? What about that? One morning, after asking the Universe directly to "please show me what I'm supposed to be doing ne...
Ep 39: Deconstructing Gender with Tristan Katz (they/them) Part 2
August 04, 2022 08:00 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBWelcome to Part 2 of my conversation on gender with Tristan Katz. If you missed part 1, go back to the previous episode and start there. Exploring our gender is an important way to know ourselves and show up in a conscious and embodied way for each other. There is a lot of confusion, avoidance, and ignorance when it comes to exploring and understanding gender. At least that was true for me. I really hadn't thought much about my gender until my kids came out as trans. That's common for ...
Ep 38: Deconstructing Gender with Tristan Katz (they/them) Part 1
July 28, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBExploring our gender is an important way to know ourselves and show up in a conscious and embodied way for each other. There is a lot of confusion, avoidance, and ignorance when it comes to exploring and understanding gender. At least that was true for me. I really hadn't thought much about my gender until my kids came out as trans. That's common for those who hold identities that align with the norms of our dominant culture. When we "fit in" we don't have to consider certain aspects of ...
Ep 37: Why We Need Each Other with Rebecca Greenidge
July 14, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 66.2 MBI don't know about you, but I keep asking myself, "What can I do to create real change in the world? What's really going to make a difference?" From mass shootings and school shootings, the overturn of Roe, hate-based legislation of our most marginalized community members, and political corruption, it's no wonder we feel overwhelmed and hopeless. It's been illuminating to me that the system of white dominance is designed to create this very effect. To overwhelm us so we numb out. Becaus...
Ep. 36: The Style and Wellness Connection with Renée Lara
June 16, 2022 08:00 - 50 minutes - 46.3 MBThere are countless ways to describe stylist Renée Lara’s vision, but perhaps the best is personal. As a Style Expert, Renée encourages women to develop clarity, individuality and a sense of personal renewal through fashion. I know this was my experience when I worked with Renée several years ago. The time I spent with her fundamentally changed how I felt about my body and about being seen in the world. The confidence she brought out in me was equal to the love she poured into me. René...
Ep. 35: Investing in Yourself
June 02, 2022 08:00 - 54 minutes - 49.7 MBSometimes we finally realize things have to change. Whether you're burned out in your job or tired of trying to make a relationship work, or sick of living with old fears and beliefs, you know things have to change. But where do you start? With a therapist? A coach? A course? Today I'm talking with two women who both realized things needed to change. Although their paths are unique, both can attest to the value of investing in themselves. Listen as they share how 1:1 ...
Ep. 34: Following Your Intuition (even when it doesn't make sense)
May 19, 2022 08:00 - 31 minutes - 34.3 MBSometimes following our hunches, yearnings or desires create waves. Sometimes it doesn't always feel like a "heck yes" to be vulnerable or have a difficult conversation. But in the long run - it’s a "heck yes" for me to live aligned with my values even if it causes uncomfortable growing pains in the short term. Even when it means following my nonsensical yearnings. Because who knows where those yearnings might lead us? I believe they lead us to a more embodied and rich life. A li...
Ep. 33: The Transformative Power of Pleasure with Autumn Youngblood and Jendeah Foreman
May 05, 2022 08:00 - 50 minutes - 45 MBMy word for 2022 is JOY. After living through the pandemic, epically burning out last year, and navigating perimenopause fo the last five years, I was needing some joy in my life. I knew I would bee to be conscious about cultivating it, because JOY wasn’t showing up on it’s own. Over solstice last winter, I shared my word JOY with my witchy friends Autumn and Jendeah and they were like, "Joy, yes, but have you considered Pleasure?" Pleasure? Ummm. no. I'm immediately thinking, "Is...
Ep. 32: Reframing Adolescence with Kirsten Cobabe
April 21, 2022 08:00 - 59 minutes - 45 MBAdolescence. What a challenging time! I know I'm not alone when I say I would never want to go back to my teen years. Despite having some amazing experiences, I was an emotional mess. Parenting adolescents is challenging, too! It can bring out the best and worst in us as parents. I keep seeing how my unhealed wounds are activated when my kids move through the developmental phase in which those wounds originated. I see how easy it is for me to project my experiences onto them - if I'...

Ep. 30: We Are All Creative with Sarah Love
March 24, 2022 08:00 - 49 minutes - 52.8 MBThey say we're all born creative. I believe this and yet struggle to embrace it in my everyday life. How can we tap into our innate creativity? How might it benefit us and others when we do? For this conversation, I knew I wanted to talk to artist and writer Sarah Love. I've been following Sarah and gifting her calendars to my clients, friends and family for years. Her daily nuggets of rainbow-colored wisdom help me love myself more and tap into my creative nature. Sarah Love McCoy is no...
Ep. 29: Cultivating Joy with Marli Williams
March 10, 2022 09:00 - 41 minutes - 36.1 MBMy word for 2022 is JOY. The last few years have taken a lot out of us and I felt like it was missing from my life. Cultivating joy has become my new hobby. I'm being more intentional about cultivating and experiencing more joy every day - through music, my cat, my kids, a great show, a captivating book, a walk with a friend, working out, an excellent cup of coffee. It takes some practice, but life is feeling so much better. Marli Williams is one of those people I met who just exudes joy...
Ep. 28: Choosing Sobriety with Naomi Veak
February 24, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.1 MBIn a world that's obsessed with health and wellness, why are we still drinking so much? We know it's not good for us. Consuming even 1-2 alcoholic beverages a day increases our rate of breast cancer and heart disease - two major killers of women and yet alcohol is everywhere. Baby showers. Book clubs. PTA meetings. Why do we think we can't do life without being slightly buzzed? What BS narrative have we bought into? This is what I explore with our guest today, Naomi Veak. Naomi stumbled in...
