This episode gave me a whole new perspective on the ego - and how it shapes everything from our healing to our relationships.

I sat down with bestselling author and ultra-consciousness guide Daphne Michaels, and we dove into quantum awareness, energy healing, and how to live from the part of ourselves that’s already whole. We talked about ego collapse, how to raise your vibration, and why healing is really just your heart surviving your life.

Whether you're brand new to these ideas or already deep in your healing journey, I promise - this one will meet you where you're at.

What if the very thing you've been holding back - your voice - is actually the key to your healing?

This week on the podcast, I sit down with vocal alchemist and teacher Maryn Azoff to explore the incredible healing power of sound, chanting, and expression. Maryn’s Vocal Transformation Method helps people reclaim their voice - not just to speak, but to feel, heal, and connect.

We talk about voice blocks, body memory, and even the parts of sound that make us squirm (hello sensual sound 👀). And yep…I was left speechless multiple times. On a podcast. About voice. 😂

This episode made me wish I’d started this work years ago - and now I’m inviting you into it too.

In this emotional and powerful episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, I sit down with Julie Barth—a mother of six, trauma survivor, and author of Notes from a Blackberry. Julie shares her journey through caregiving, the devastating loss of her first husband, surviving emotional abuse, and how she turned those experiences into a mission to help other women in crisis.

If you're walking through grief, feeling stuck, or trying to find meaning again, this conversation will show you that healing is possible and power can be reclaimed.
