In this episode I discuss my first experience trying the sacred plant medicine Ayahausca back in January 2021 while I was in Costa Rica. It was the most intense yet impactful step I’ve taken on my own healing journey and I left that experience with so many lessons that have humbled me and made me appreciate this gift of life.

In this episode I interview my friend/roommate & Cellular Detoxification Coach, Reagan Malas, who I met while travelling in Costa Rica. I refer to him as my unofficial health coach since he's been giving me advice and tips regarding health and fitness for the past few months, but we share a lot of aligned views when it comes to food, fitness and lifestyle. Health is such an important part of living a thriving, radiant life so I was happy to have Reagan share his wealth of knowledge.

The personal development and healing industries get a bad rap in my opinion. Doing inner work is not because something is wrong with you or you are broken. I actually believe it's the deepest act of self love someone can do for themselves. And it is completely possible to love yourself fully and unconditionally while also deciding to elevate your life and transform into the person you were always destined to become. I dive more into this topic in this short and sweet episode!

In this episode I discuss what my experience was like at a tantra workshop I attended during my trip to Costa Rica. This was my first time ever taking a workshop like this, I had no idea what to expect! Except you know.. that there was probably going to be some parts related to sexuality lol. We tried out many different techniques and I felt more in touch with my body, had a greater appreciation for it afterwards and I felt connected with all the women who attended. It was a heart-opening experience that I try my best to summarize in this episode!

In this episode I discuss what my first few weeks are like on my work exchange trip to Costa Rica. I’m staying at the beautiful and spiritual hub of PachaMama and having the time of my life! This trip was one of the biggest manifestations I was calling in for 2020 and everything fell together in just a few days before the end of 2019. This trip is incredibly healing for my mind, body and soul and incorporates many of the healing modalities I’ve experimented with over the past year.

In this episode I reference a few previous podcast episodes for more information on certain topics:

In this episode I interview Emily Greene, a Psychic Medium who I have met with for a couple sessions in 2019! (Also I've credited Emily as someone who has incredibly impacted my year and future goals I set for myself) Emily's intention in her work has always been to co-create with Spirit and to show up to serve, to guide, and empower people to fully step into their soul's calling.

​In her work, she incorporates many healing modalities such as aura balancing and clearing, mediumship, connecting to your spirit team, connecting to current and future spirit babies, psychic readings, and more. She calls her work 'healing sessions' as opposed to readings because working with Emily is much more than just a reading: it's a complete transformation of your energy and life.

She weaves all of these techniques together to help people step fully into their divine potential in their life, relationships, and business.

In this episode we discuss:

-How Emily discovered her psychic ability from a young age and prayed to be “normal”

-Going down the traditional path of school and not quite feeling fulfilled, also abusing drugs & alcohol to numb herself and her abilities

-Meeting with a medium and finding out she was supposed to be a medium and psychic too

-How Emily had a dream that showed her she could pursue her destiny or choose a different path

-The different services she offers and how you can work with her

-What her dream business would like in the future

If I could summarize this decade it would be a period of rebelling against people's expectations, raising my standards and taking brave action outside my comfort zone. I recorded this episode during the last few days of 2019 (a bit late publishing it mind you) and these 10 years have been a period of immense growth for myself, and I'm sure everyone. I started the decade still in high school at just 16 years old, so a lot of change has happened in my education/career, relationships and the amount of travel I have experienced. I discuss the major changes that happened in my life and how different I was at 16 compared to now and the lessons I extracted that I'm going to apply in the next decade moving forward.
