In this episode, I break down the relationship between overwhelm and confusion, and share practical tools to help you move through these feelings instead of getting stuck in them.

Episode Highlights:

• Why overwhelm comes from your nervous system's response and not just your to-do list
• How confusion acts as a protective shield to keep you from feeling helpless
• The concept of timelines and why keeping multiple options open drains your energy
• How to recognize the stories and beliefs that keep you stuck in overwhelm
• Why moving through discomfort (instead of around it) rewires your brain over time
• How trusting yourself and honoring your truth cuts through confusion
• Practical steps to build your capacity to handle hard things with more ease

Remember: Overwhelm and confusion don't have to run your life. They're signals from your system trying to protect you, and once you understand what's really happening, you can work with them instead of against them. Each time you choose to move through instead of around these feelings, you're proving to yourself that you can handle hard things. Keep practicing, and watch how your capacity expands.

In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most powerful healing practices I've ever experienced—inner child work—and how combining it with Reiki and chakra healing can help you break free from patterns that have been holding you back since childhood.

Episode Highlights:

• What inner child work actually is and why traditional approaches often fall short
• How Reiki provides a naturally somatic approach to healing childhood wounds
• The connection between your chakras and different aspects of your inner child's needs
• Practical techniques for using Reiki to connect with and heal your inner child
• Why this work helps you reclaim joy, creativity, and playfulness, and not just process pain
• How to navigate the discomfort that can arise when doing this deep work
• Creating an ongoing relationship with your inner child for lasting change

Remember: Your inner child has been waiting to be heard, seen, and reminded that they're safe now. Creating space for this healing work transforms your relationship with the past and frees you to show up more authentically and powerfully in your present. The patterns that once felt impossible to break can finally shift when you address them at their roots.

In this episode, I explore how to move forward when you feel stuck in life by transforming your relationship with resistance. I dive into the different types of resistance that keep us from progress and practical strategies for working through the blocks that hold us back.

Episode Highlights:

• Understanding resistance as your guide to deeper self-knowledge rather than your enemy
• How your inner critic often masquerades as motivation but actually strengthens resistance
• The importance of feeling your emotions fully instead of pushing through or avoiding them
• Practical tools for working with resistance compassionately rather than fighting it
• When to seek support and how isolation can actually strengthen the walls you're trying to break through
• Your inner wholeness already exists, resistance is simply blocking your access to it

Remember: Moving forward in life isn't about perfection or eliminating all obstacles. It's about developing the tools to work with resistance productively and honoring both where you are now and where you're headed. Your resistance holds valuable information about your growth edges. Approach it with curiosity and compassion, and watch how it transforms from roadblock to roadmap.
