From soulful conversations around grief and relationships, heartfelt interviews with incredible humans, to real life updates taking place inside my own life - here, we don't believe in small talk.

131. Finding Your Authenticity & Letting Go of Comparison Through Design & Creativity ft. Elizabeth Compagna of Rising Rose Collective

131. Finding Your Authenticity & Letting Go of Comparison Through Design & Creativity ft. Elizabeth Compagna of Rising Rose Collective

I could not be more excited and honored to introduce those of you who aren't yet aware of Elizabeth's magic. This soul, she's a light - and this episode far exceeded any expectations that I had going into our interview together. I was introduced to Elizabeth through her sister Emma, who was on the podcast back in December (Episode 124 - a MUST listen), and ended up hiring her to create a one-stop-shop landing website for all of my creative projects to live (coming soon!) She's also the design force behind the podcasts new cover art!

In this episode, we talk a LOT about the comparison trap (which is so, so important), the fear of taking up space within our creativity, showing up as our authentic selves (and how to figure out who the hell that is exactly..), showing up fully just as we are (sans filters & the perfect picture social media tell us we should be representing), and so much more. Get cozy and prepare to fall in love with Elizabeth. This is a good one. Xx

124. From Living in Darkness to Letting in the Light with Emma Compagna (@realwithemma)

Wow, this episode. It's packed with so much wisdom, love and inspiration I not only cried while we were recording this, but while I was editing it as well. It's so special - Emma, is so special - and I can't for you to get cozy and listen as we talk all things comparison, finding your inner most authentic self, living in darkness and finding the light through self healing, pattern breaking and self sabotage, and so much more. That's quite literally just the tip of the iceberg.
Get cozy, grab some coffee, and enjoy. See you on the inside. Xx

In this short & sweet solo episode (on 11/22/22 at 12:22am!), I'm free flowing without agenda to give you an update on what my life has been looking like as of late: figuring out how to elevate my purpose both personally and professionally, my journey with anxiety and depression and some new decisions I've made within that area of my life, this new winter season and how I'm intentionally preparing for it, and more. 

I hope you see yourself in this episode, or that there's something you can take away from it. Xx

WE'RE BACK WITH SEASON 5: November 1st, 2022 ✨

Back to back hiatuses got you feeling nervous? I get it. I do. But the good news is that we’re locked and loaded and back to regular programing. And fortunately, for all of us — I feel like I’ve lived ten lives since we last spoke, so, that means there’s a lot to unload.

And that means, season five is quickly approaching.

Season. Five.

I’ve developed some truly magnetic relationships, have spoken with incredible human beings, and have swam my way through some really turbulent shit that I’m more than ready to share with all of you.

November 1st… it begins again. See you then.

117. My Long Hiatus From Instagram & What I've Found in it's Place

117. My Long Hiatus From Instagram & What I've Found in it's Place

In this episode I dive into why I chose to leave Instagram for the time being, and all that it's taught me about myself, the life I *was* living vs. the life I *want* to be living. We'll uncover my subconscious identity criss, comparison trap after comparison trap, how my days felt then vs. how they feel now, and the patterns I was repeating without even being aware. Will I ever be back? Probably. But not until the yummy creative juices are the sole reason behind showing up on the platform. Join me for the 117th episode as I uncover my social media absence and my hope for what's to come.

116. What it Means Now That I've Let Go of The Calm Collective

116. What it Means Now That I've Let Go of The Calm Collective

Thank you, first and foremost, for all of the love and support for our last episode where I shared the story of Jonathan and my miscarriage of our first baby. It's been... difficult, to say the least, but you have all played such a beautiful role in softening the ridges for us as we heal. 

I'm working on playing catch up with you here, but first and foremost I felt it was important to shed some light on why I chose to let The Calm Collective go, the Universal sign that I did in fact do the right thing, and what it means for what's to come both within the Podcast space and over on the intimate Newsletter. This is a quicker listen, but I hope it helps unravel some of the unknowns ("Where the heck did the website go?", "Are you still teaching courses?", What can we expect?") All answered, right here.

115. I'm Back, & Opening Up About Our Recent Miscarriage

115. I'm Back, & Opening Up About Our Recent Miscarriage

I was so nervous so sit down and record this, but know deep down that it's the right thing to do. For womenkind and couples out there who have endured miscarriage, and for the health of my own soul. The minute I hit "publish" I had this intense breath of release - a thousand pounds off of my shoulders. This isn't a "bad" secret to keep. It's nothing to be ashamed of; no fault of our own. It's just sad, and it's true, and it's real. 

I know this is a lofty way to come back after a long, long hiatus of recording. And while I have much that I want to fill you in on (I got engaged, married, released The Calm Collective and built Rooted, etc), when tragedy hits, it takes precedence. I couldn't imagine coming back and talking about all of the aforementioned things without mentioning what's right on top of my heart - when I'm going through heartbreak. It's never been who I am; being able to pretend like things are okay when they're just, not.  

So, I know we're coming in hot with Episode 115, but my hope is that we'll be able to meet each other where we're at. Me, here in heartbreak and healing, you, wherever you might be in life right now. I hope it brings us closer and feeling even more connected than before. I hope that this conversation normalizes miscarriage, grief, healing, and the like.

Thank you for being here - for showing me grace as I stumble a bit through this episode, and for giving me the space to come back when it felt right to do so.

Ep. 112 - Breaking Down ALL Thing Projectors in Human Design with Expert Ardelia Lee

Ep. 112 - Breaking Down ALL Thing Projectors in Human Design with Expert Ardelia Lee

YOU GUYS. Today's episode is such a fun one. Human Design is one of the most beautiful discoveries I've had in my lifetime, as it's been this massive, yet gentle, permission slip to better understanding the way that I operate, how I best serve others and myself, and just this deep affirmation that you truly can flow and live in sync with the Universe and let go of resistance as a whole. 

If you're new to Human Design and you're like "what in the world are you talking about?" -- I encourage you to start by finding out what your human design is which you can do for free, right here. The only caveat is that you do need to know the exact time you were born as it stems from your birth chart. 

I'm a Projector, which makes up about 20-24% of the population, and because of their unique energy fields and somewhat complex nature, I'm always looking for specific information around this type in particular. SO, if you find that you also are a Projector with the free chart above, come back and listen to this! It will be such a beautiful resource for you, and I guarantee you will feel so seen and understood. 

Human Design expert Ardelia Lee breaks down all of the nooks and crannies when it comes to being a Projector. Business, relationships, money, food, love, raising children, the list goes on.. There really isn't anything that we don't touch on here.  Enjoy the show. x

97 - Healing from Heartbreak: Repair Through Poetry with Author Tess Theisen

97 - Healing from Heartbreak: Repair Through Poetry with Author Tess Theisen

To say that I'm ecstatic to have my angel of a friend, Tess Theisen, as today's podcast guest is the understatement of the century. Not only is she an advocate for women's rights and equality, as well as the environment, but she's a beautiful writer who just channeled her journey through heartbreak and healing into a stunning poetry book titled: It Was a Monday. 

Tess graciously shares her heart with us in such a way that we can all relate to the pain, the peaks, the valleys, and those gentle moments of healing in between that breathe new life into our bones - even if for just a moment. We also touch on the writing process and what that looked like for Tess, the support of her friends and family, and how this heartbreak has made her into the person she is today - the Tess I love and admire so much.  Enjoy. x

If you feel inspired to share this episode, make sure to tag both myself @thecalmcollective_ / @thecalmcollectivepod and Tess @tesstheisen on Instagram so I can send you a free gift to your DM. My way of saying thank you so much for supporting not only me, but the guests that so freely share themselves with us here on the podcast.

Ep. 92 - 4 Ways To Step Into Your Worth & Empowerment Everyday

In today's episode, I'm sharing FOUR (despite the fact that I say 5 in the intro 😂) tried and true ways to step into your self worth and empowerment every single day. These aren't hacks you can google on the internet - that's too easy! These are lessons learned from me to you, that were brought to life through my own turmoil and lack of self worth. 

I hope, more than anything, that they're so helpful.
