In this episode, I’m doing something a little uncomfortable… I’m speaking anyway.

In this episode of Painting Your Path™ I sit down with Courage: actor, activist, and community organizer to explore what it means to find home, rebuild after devastation, and keep showing up for your community. Courage shares how an unexpected Facebook ad, a cross-town bus ride, and a deep sense of grief led them from downtown LA to Altadena, where they discovered the kind of small-town community they didn’t know they were missing.

Spring Is Here - Are You Actually Moving Forward?

Painting Your Path ·

2026/04/02

This episode is a real-time check-in. Not the polished version. The honest one. As we close out the first quarter of the year and step into spring, it’s a natural moment to pause and ask: Am I actually doing the things that matter to me? In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on: what I followed through on—and what I didn’thow easy it is to disconnect from the things that bring us back to ourselvesthe tension between waiting until we feel “ready” and actually startingI also share a powerful ins...

Spring Creative Reset Retreat

Painting Your Path ·

2026/03/26

Spring is here. It’s the perfect time for renewal and planting seeds for the year. But nothing changes or grows unless you do something about it. In this episode, I’m talking about what renewal actually requires (hint: it’s not waiting for the perfect time), and why so many of us stay stuck even when we feel the pull to move. If you’ve been circling an idea, second-guessing yourself, or telling yourself “later”… this one’s for you. I also share a simple question to help you take your next ste...

2026/03/13

Spring is starting to show up here in Southern California. Little hints - hotter temps, longer evenings, small buds appearing on branches that looked completely bare just weeks ago. It always reminds me of something important: nature doesn’t wait for perfect conditions before it begins again. In this episode, I share a reflection on rebuilding, not just in our communities, but within ourselves. After a difficult year and a season of loss for many in Altadena and surrounding communities, I’ve ...

When I’m Ready

Painting Your Path ·

2026/02/26

“Not ready.” I hear it all the time. This week, I’m unpacking what we really mean when we say that, especially when it comes to creative work, big ideas, and becoming the next version of ourselves. We’re talking about time, energy, hope… and the quiet ways fear disguises itself as responsibility. This episode is honest. Grounded. And maybe a little uncomfortable.

Stop Getting Ready. Start Becoming

Painting Your Path ·

2026/02/12

Driving home today, I kept thinking about something I heard in a meditation: What if we spend too much of our lives getting ready to become who we’re meant to be? Getting ready to feel confident. Getting ready to have more time. Getting ready to feel certain. In this episode, I’m unpacking what actually creates change — and why it’s rarely about your environment. I share: A real client story about moving from rumination and perfectionism to clarity and follow-through The quiet shift that hel...

Before sharing conversations with survivors of the Eaton and Palisades fires (and the organizations supporting healing and recovery) I’m opening Season 5 with a solo reflection. This episode is not about resolutions or reinvention. It’s about gentler rhythms. About honoring what you’ve carried. About arriving—without rushing who you’re becoming. A soft beginning.
