Life goes beyond the house that you grew up in. But you may spend many years healing from the time you spent growing up in it. For my sister and I, we have found this to be the case. Today, we unpack the impact of how growing up amidst instability shaped our lives and gave us mutual purpose to break the cycle of generational trauma. Angelica is the strongest person that I know - and her experiences are one that I am honored to give voice to on Figuring Sh!t Out. My sister and I share no DNA. She was

You do not have to adapt to the energy in the room -- You can influence it. A wise person once said: “How you do anything - is how you do everything,”So how do you use your voice, your power, and your energy, to serve a purpose and live an aligned life? & How do you stay true to yourself while operating in systems or places that don’t feel aligned to you? How can you protect your peace and find alignment and power through surrender?By knowing what is in your control vs what is out of it, and

We are part of nature. And there is never a time we are not changing. As we navigate the seasons and embrace the Spring Equinox, this episode is a reminder to ignite a self-acceptance that allows us to truly flourish by embracing what we often reject about ourselves. It is easy for us to like ourselves when we're doing well and easy for us to be happy on a sunny day -- But feeling a stability with ourselves and our lives comes from acceptance of the duality of who we are and the natural and

In this episode, we discuss the need for harmony among the wholeness of our full selves - mind, body, and soul. The objectification and disconnection we often feel from our physical experience is the result of a fragmentation of our selves as a survival and defense mechanism -But there is a vital connection between our physical health & our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.If our bodies are what we explore this world through, the quality of our experience can be directly correlated to

Stop chasing happiness - it is a trap. Stop living your life for the future - it is a bigger trap. If you treat your life like a means to an end, you will always be left with the same question: "An end -- to what?" The novelty of life is that it is both fleeting and the only thing we will ever know. & The relentless pursuit for the meaning of it will only lead you to eclipsing your right to live it. So live.

Life is vulnerability.Time and time again we find that we are on this journey to find the strength that we didn't know that we had. To shock and surprise ourselves at the ability to get through the rough days, long nights, and find the bliss of sunshine again and again, even when we think it may be gone forever.And to be a witness to our boundless ability to continue on loving when we feel loveless.We have our hearts to thank for that -- the energetic pathway that lets our emotional energy in

It asks you to ask yourself: "What would my life look like if I showed up for myself fully? If I believed myself capable? If I argued with my limitations and went beyond them?

Imagine the freedom of living unencumbered by the fear of others' opinions, feeling rooted, grounded, and connected to yourself, your truth, and your exploration of life - where your worthiness is not a question, but a statement. What would you do? How would you act? How would you move?As we end 2023, many of us are thinking about what we want to release and leave behind, and what we want to take with us and transform into in the New Year.

We've all been there: one thing goes wrong, then another, then another - and we feel like a slave to our conditions, a slave to our mind's negative thinking patterns, unable to wake ourselves up or shake ourselves out of the rut we're in, and sometimes, the rut we are falling further into.How do you get out of that place? The one that feels so dark, so sticky, so dreary.How do you go on and show up with presence for yourself, the people, the responsibilities in your life when your

When our lives begin to brim with chaos, when we are facing deadlines and urgency and getting ready for life's momentous next moments, we often feel endlessly confused, as if there is an incessant thought-loop that never ceases to let us know that we will never have the answers. These are the moments when we need breath, perspective, and patience. Knowing that there is an older, wiser version of ourselves holding our hands as we rise and fall through this life, and in the panorama of our

To create true change in our lives, to become the version of ourselves that we wish to be, to shift our mindset from one of lack and scarcity to one of of abundance - it starts with the little actions we take every single day. The minutes that compound into hours, the hours that compound into days, the days that compound to weeks, then months, then years. If nothing changes now, then nothing will change.And most often, it is not a radical shift -- we will not change overnight & we do not need to
