    Ep 301 - Intentions over resolutions. Goals as directions not achievements
    Jan 8 2026

    Happy New Year listeners! Welcome to a fresh new start! I don't know about you, but I am glad to see 2026! In this week's episode, I'm talking about the difference between setting intentions and making resolutions (don't even bother with the latter). And using goals as a place for your focus rather than a marker of achievement.

    This year needs to be different. This year is about community and sharing, kindness and compassion–and of course LOVE! – all the soft things that we cannot assign metrics to. In order to build a world that is truly liberated, we need to work towards right relationship with each other as well as with mother Earth. Tune in to hear more!

  • Ep 299 - Balancing the material and the spiritual

    Ep 299 - Balancing the material and the spiritual
    Dec 4 2025

    In this week's episode, I’m talking about the challenges of balancing the material with the spiritual in this overwhelming world. How can we remain true to our spiritual practices while the external world inundates us with so much noise that we lose track? How can we hear what our ancestors are trying to tell us if we don't sit still for one goddamn minute? Tune in to remember why we’re here and what we’re meant to do, how to navigate the material world while staying rooted in our spiritual purpose.
