  • Ep 281 - Energy, Ghosts, and Integrity During a Time of Gen-side
    Jul 24 2025

    With each passing day as the situation in Gázä becomes more and more dire, it is hard to not feel the energetic shift of dramatic loss. In Buddhist tradition, the soul wanders 49 days after death. Imagine: so many ghosts have been wandering around for the past 22 months. What energy imbalance are we grappling with?

    As the gee-side continues, it is also hard to hold respect for those who have remained silent or have looked away.

    In this week's episode, I get real with my feelings about all of the above. It's messy and fumbly, but it's human. That's the whole point. Are you able to articulate the multitude of feelings and emotions that you might be experiencing right now? Are you able to identify and speak your truth? Tune in to feel less alone, find words, and articulate aligned action.

  • Ep 280 - Why bother? Because even the little things matter
    Jul 17 2025

    How many of us let things slide? Maybe it's a question you had that you thought was too unimportant to ask. Or maybe you feel like no matter what you do to try to change a situation, it won't matter. I know a lot of folks feel like nothing they do is stopping the G side. So why bother?

    In this week's episode, I talk about how the little things do matter. That they build momentum which then becomes a movement. We need to demand better of ourselves in order to create the world we want to live in. Tune in to learn how and what community has to do with it.

  • Ep 279 - Discern and Be Intentional With Your Focus
    Jul 10 2025

    Does it feel like the world is ending? That all hope is lost? It's time to pause and take a step back. Ask yourself: where are you placing your attention? Is it on the death and destruction? Or are you also seeing the joy and progress of our collective efforts towards liberation?

    Where we place our attention, energy flows. Can we be intentional without focus? Can we stay informed and bear witness to the atrocities while at the same time, pay attention to the wins both big and small? And how do we do this? Tune in to learn more!
