Cacao & Connection: How Raw Chocolate Can Open Your Heart

Tune in to my favorite episode YET to hear all about how I found cacao as a drink, how it can make you feel, the benefits of drinking raw chocolate, and why it is known to ‘open your heart’. I also go in depth into what a cacao ritual looks like in terms of the colonized approach as well as the more traditional Mayan approach. I have been studying with and learning from the founders of Kokoleka Collective as well as elders from the Tzʼutujil and Kaqchikel Mayans tribes ****to deepen my cacao journey, and I am so excited to share it all with you!
Skip straight to 18:00 minutes to hear about the physical body benefits of cacao and skip over my personal journey with this plant medicine.

Empath Emotional Regulation & Earth Month Classes

In this episode I share straight from my heart and life experiences to remind you that it is SO important to hold space for our emotions to be felt and to not suppress them. As a fellow empath and deep feeler, I truly believe it is so important to ground into our body, feel our emotions, and learn all that they have to teach us. Being able to feel our emotions deeply and listen to what they are telling us (without creating story around them) is a great superpower and can be tough to learn!
Recently my feelings have been teaching me to not take things personally and to realize that not everyone’s actions towards me are actually about me. I talk about taking accountability for our own “stuff” while also realizing other people’s triggers are often simply their own "stuff" as well. Tune in to hear exactly what I have to say about empath emotional regulation and my upcoming Earth Month classes this April 2023!!

Why NOT to Guide Your Life Based on Only the “F*** YES” Feelings

In this episode I share 5 reasons why I don’t agree with the notion of living based on only what feels good or guiding decisions by those “F*** YES” feelings. I dive into ways to deal with discomfort, push past resistance, guiding decisions unselfishly, facing fears & anxieties, and taking action to benefit the greatest good of all! I also touch on the principles of Stoicism and quotes from Marcus Aurelius, who was a Roman Emperor and Stoic philosopher.
