May you give yourself the gift of slowing down. May you allow yourself to start over whenever you need, whenever you please, and not when the world tells you that it's time.

This episode is for anyone considering changing their life-path: leaving a job, moving cities or countries, changing who they surround themselves with, starting a business, leaving a relationship - ending a chapter & beginning a new one.For anyone who finds themselves teetering at the edge of a cliff - knowing that they want to take a leap, knowing they feel called to close a door to open a new one, but is scared of what's on the other side, who is scared of free-falling.

We hear it in the wellness space all the time: “Trauma is stored in the body,” but what does this actually mean? And what are the different modalities to heal it? In this episode, I sit down with an inspiring & intuitive-led expert on this topic to cover: How emotional pain gets stuck & stored in the body & why it’s so hard to unlearn bad habits + toxic patterns (AKA: why is it so much harder to expect happiness than it is to expect pain?)What it means to live in alignment and be free of

As the holiday season rolls around, many of us who are on a journey of healing are visited by triggers, past pain, and heavy emotions. The first visitor in our internal world is usually Anger. It is best friends with Pride & usually sounds like: “Why is is this way? Why did that have to happen? Why couldn’t you have…” + It is often paired with actions towards others that are uninhibited from showing that we still pain.It is silent, passive, and quite poisonous to our hearts.Anger & Pride

This week, I broke my arm. Yes, I recorded this podcast episode with broken arm. And edited it. And I am typing this now with one hand.You get the point.I felt it necessary to interrupt the regularly scheduled programming of the Road Less Traveled to talk about what to do when there are the inevitable bumps in the road. How do we respond? How do we not spiral? How do we.. reverse a spiral (if we may have found ourselves in one)? Sh!t happens -- and it's supposed to -- it wouldn't be life if

Productivity that feels nourishing is rare these days. When quantity out-rules quality, we feel burnt out by the pressure to produce. The tendency to put things off, look to our left and see something "better," and silently stay in our chamber of consumption, rather than creation is far too pervasive in today's age.So, how do we actually equip ourselves to separate what we want to do from what we "have" to do, create from a place of empowerment, and share our magic with the

This episode is for those who have felt, at any point, like they are "too much."To dim the beautiful bright light in your being to be palatable and digestible for others is an indiscretion to your soul.We must resist the urge to give into cynicism and nihilism and embrace that life CAN be beautiful, love IS that good, and that we ARE meant to live in joy and trust that flow will guide us.During this episode, we go on a journey of understanding where cynicism and projection comes from, why we

At some point in our lives, we may find ourselves bending and folding ourselves into shapes that are not our own in an exhausting effort to fit in, conform, and get our return on the illusion we bought that told us we'd be happy if we just "did what we were supposed to do."And too often, when this formula doesn't work for us - we exile ourselves and internalize the confusion of being confused.We may wonder why we haven’t gotten it right, why we feel so misunderstood.What we fail to

Struggles and success often dance hand in hand. Jamie Hess grew up in New York City as the daughter of GMA Host, Joan Lunden. A tenacious go-getter from a young age, Jamie was gifted, precocious, and ahead of the curve. She grew up fast - and she found herself soaring up the ladder of Corporate PR earlier than most. But she was curbing the growing pains of growing up in the public eye with a drug addiction that she kept secret - until she couldn't any longer. After the road to recovery from drug

You cannot run from what you don't want and run towards what you do at the same time.You do one or the other. In every moment - we are creating. Either unconsciously or consciously - we choose the patterns and programs, or - we choose to create new ones. In trying to avoid pain, we create the environments and situations to see it more clearly. In a decision and a direction, we head forth into the unknown with a guidance born from our own powerful intentions.If we search for safety, the best we
