EP 18: From Feeling Directionless to Hitting her First $14k Month & Falling in Love: Client Experience w/ @honeysocialmediaa
In this week's episode my client Bryna (@honeysocialmediaa) is joining us to talk about her experience of coming home to herself, and manifesting abundance in ALL areas of her life after joining my 6-month private coaching container.
Not only did Bryna go from scrapping by to hitting her first $14k month in her biz, she also stopped attracting non-committal men and manifested her DREAM partner through learning how to be vulnerable, leaning into her feminine energy, and trusting herself.
We're talking true, holistic growth as the WHOLE woman.
Her story is one you'll want to listen to over and over again to remind you of what's possible when you go ALL IN on yourself and never give up.

In this episode, I'm discussing how and why I began my journey of working with psilocybin mushrooms, my first ego-death experience, the veil that lifted around my body image and self-worth, and how that was rooted in a much deeper story of inadequacy that I believe everyone can relate to.

EP 5: The Language of the Nervous System w/ Jenna Hamm
In this episode, I'm connecting with Jenna Hamm - a clinical social worker and yoga teacher from Manitoba, Canada. She is trained in Polyvagal Theory, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Internal Family Systems. Jenna also holds a certification in nutrition and integrative medicine for mental health. Her private practice is centered around empowerment through education and healing deep-rooted trauma of all kinds. What I love most about her is that she's not interested in providing symptom management but rather, complete healing and the reversal of internal suffering. Jenna has a thorough understanding of human biology, the autonomic nervous system, and how trauma is stored in the brain and body.
We cover SO much in this episode - getting into the ups and downs of her own healing journey, how her personal experience has impacted her practice, what polyvagal theory is, and the important role our nervous system has to play in our overall healing.
