The Guru Is You

By his own admission, Justin Foster was running his life on resentment. With some self-directed investigation, he recognized that the mental constructs and systems he had created for himself to feel safe in response to childhood traumas were actually keeping him numb and preventing healthy growth.

After a “dark night of the soul,” he recognized his emotional need for relating more authentically with others. But more importantly, through curious exploration, he found that beneath his layers of unhealthy behaviors, his true core self was waiting to be rediscovered and accepted.

In this episode, you will enjoy his in-depth take on mindset as he challenges the traditional concept of healing and shares many insights on how to develop your curiosity for your own wholeness.

Stay tuned to learn about the 8 C’s of the core self.

Startled by a playful prank, Karen was unexpectedly triggered into re-experiencing a terrifying memory from childhood, also know as PTSD. As she eventually sought comfort from her girlfriend group, she was further traumatized by the extreme reaction of one friend.

Karen vulnerably shares her story and honest recognition that, although she had worked to heal her childhood trauma, some learned behavioral patterns, like compulsive caregiving, were showing up in her present-day relationships.

Listen as she explains how Observed and Experiential Integration therapy (OEI), a somatic method for resolving trauma, as well as writing, helped her take ownership of her experiences and create healthier relationships going forward.

After getting lost on a hike followed by a hospital visit, Sky could see that some extremes in his behavior were jeopardizing his physical and mental health. As he recovered, he considered why he was always pushing himself so hard to “be better” - in his music career, his meditation practice…really, in all areas of his life. His quest led him to a more esoteric approach to interacting with life: synchronicity.

Check out this episode where Sky went from rigidity to flow. Our discussion touches on fear, self-love, mindfulness and how to realign with yourself when you get off track. Stay to the end for Sky’s intriguing story of synchronicity, and hear his live performance of his song, There is Nothing Big in Playing Small.

I was depressed for a long time before I did something about it. What I did was not THE solution, just a temporary one: I ran away from my life. This gave me time to figure some things out, mainly, what I no longer wanted to do. When I returned to my home, I decided I had to redesign my life on purpose. I knew I needed something new to get me headed in the right direction, and what I found was an old childhood friend: dance.

In this episode, I share my story of how I discovered dance fitness as a way to reconnect with my inner voice and more importantly, with my joy. I also share a few ways I have found that help speed up the healing process.

I went on a trip this summer to do some writing for my latest book, a memoir of my relationship with my husband. But in spite of my best efforts, distraction after distraction kept me from it. Or, perhaps prepared me for writing.

In this episode, I share my story of how the powers of the Universe seem to conspire on my behalf to help me reach my goal of being ready to write.

This mama of 2 kiddos was down…literally on the floor in a heap of exhaustion when she finally realized “I need help.” A phrase that most of us find hard to think, much less utter aloud and then act on. But she did. And yet after working with a counselor, Boyana Boeva knew she needed something more to take her beyond just talk therapy.


As a working mom, Boyana was battling the a daily internal struggle - exhaustion from sleep deprivation, physical and hormonal changes post-pregnancy and lots of negative self-talk. Until she found Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping.

This modality works with the body’s own energy meridians, like in acupuncture, combined with the talk therapy technique of verbalize your feelings. It calms the nervous system down by connecting to the amygdala (part of the brain that sends out the fight or flight signals). Learn more about how this self-applied method helps you transmute negative emotions to gain greater focus and calm.

And for those mamas out there, stay to the end to hear how Boyana has used this technique with her children to empower herself as a mother, and the impact it has made on her and her household.

👫Please note that because we are real people with real lives (and not a fancy podcast studio) part of interview does include a few background noises or interjections from Boyana’s kiddos.

I got hit by wave after wave of weird energy and lost my center. After a series of energetic events, I found myself stunned and exhausted. You would think a fun vacay with a bestie and then a delicious dinner with my hubby would fill me up, not leave me depleted. But they did.

In this episode, I share my story of how I got knocked down and how I came back, with some special suggestions for those energetically-sensitive on how to protect your energy field.

Stay to the end as I read a new poem called Waves of Love that I wrote about this.

Meet the Harveys. I call them Super Manifestors. This couple is focused and intentional with all that they do. When they tried for years to get pregnant, seeing different doctors and taking multiple medications with no success, they did not let the label of infertility stick. Instead they took action.

They realized that becoming ready to conceive meant more than just a shot or a pill, they needed a whole health reboot. They started by focusing on their bodily health - meeting with a holistic doctor and improving their nutrition. And they continued to look for the best ways to create the right environment to get pregnant.

After learning that most household and personal care products contained chemicals known to be hormone disruptors, Michelle found a replacement in Young Living essential oils. And these oils didn’t just have a nice aroma, but they also had health-boosting properties that helped Michelle get rid of migraines, her digestive issues, and …ding, ding, ding, they were finally able to conceive!

In this episode you will learn how they completely revamped their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health to bring their “rainbow baby,” Jackson into the world.

(And yes, we will tell what a rainbow baby is, too.)

A sudden death in the family parlayed into the revealing of a long-held secret from Jen’s childhood: she had been sexually abused at a very young age. Although she dedicated her young life to dance and had achieved many awards, scholarships and validation, she suffered from Impostor Syndrome, doubting if she was good enough.

Her anxiety and unresolved trauma manifested in several ways including her unknowingly holding her breath while practicing dance or performing, and sometimes even passing out. It affected all of her relationships…with herself, her family and her choice of romantic partners. She tended to attract abusive partners over and over again.

Her healing journey takes a winding path from Texas to California to India to Alabama to New Orleans. Spoiler alert: her story to heal herself included dance, singing, spirituality, astrology, journaling as well as yoga, and some amazing synchronicities along the way. You can see she is a passionate life-long learner so she pursued “all the things” to enhance her self-discovery.

Dealing with intense and recurring headaches, Janett was at her wits’ end. She had seen a counselor, a medical doctor, a neurologist and a psychologist. In spite of trying 12 different medicines (gosh, 12!), she still had no answers as to why this debilitating pain was plaguing her. Her daily functioning was minimal and miserable; she was also experiencing long-term memory loss. And even worse, Janett had started having very dark thoughts.

Occasionally she would get a break from these migraines, excitedly thinking she had her life back, and then boom! She would be hit with a huge headache, so painful she could not stop crying.

After much prayer, she had a dream that brought her a clue as to the answer she was seeking. Listen as Janett courageously shares about PTSD from an abusive marriage, and the solution she found that not only helped her headaches, but impacted her family, her community and beyond.

Grief is so tricky, right? Well-meaning people want to encourage us to ignore what we are feeling with “just look on the bright side”-type language, or give us their expectations about how to grieve or how long it should take. And as a nation and across the world, we have been grieving so much throughout 2020 and into this new year of 2021. Grief is not a place that we are familiar with, but rather it's something we tend to avoid, mainly because it is so damn uncomfortable.

In this episode, I offer my personal ABC’s of tools that help me transmute the energy of the big bag of emotions that is grief, which include:

Allow
Breathe

Continuing to care

Don’t Judge + Distract

Express

Friend

Get up occasionally
Having your own back

Stay to the end as I also offer a short 6min meditation to soothe your grieving heart.
