In this episode I discuss a topic that has truly changed the way I view myself and the world around me - I dive into the stories we tell ourselves and how to reframe them to create a life that makes you feel much more joy in being alive. I talk about an analogy around how life is a storybook and we get to choose the subject we are reading, we can either be the main character that is tied up in the plot or we can be the intrigued reader of the novel. Stay tuned throughout the episode for helpful guidance, practices, a mini body scan meditation, and reflection questions to guide you on your journey of getting unstuck.

Tune in to hear about my journey with prescription medication and Western medicine; I talk about mental health, holistic wellness, and all of the things you need and want to know about coming off of prescription medication and onto a more holistically balanced way of living. I am not against Western medicine, but I believe there is SO much more to our health and well-being than simply being prescribed pills for our symptoms.

In this episode I have my good friend and special guest, Rayne LaFleur back on the podcast for another beautiful interview where we dive into acceptance of the past versions of ourselves, learning from the yogic path, and how we have reached a space of abundance. We talk about dreams for the future and why it is important to not only dream big, but to ground ourselves in a foundation of gratitude. Rayne speaks on the victim mentality, the nature of suffering, and how to not allow fear or not feeling "good enough" rule our actions. This episode is one of my favorite so far and I can't wait to hear what you think!
