What if the hardest parts of your story do not have to define the way you see yourself forever? In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve learned to take painful experiences from my past and look at them through a more empowering lens. This is not about pretending something did not hurt or trying to bypass the truth. It is about recognizing that the event happened, while also realizing that you still get to choose the meaning you attach to it.
We talk about grief, forgiveness, resilience, identity, and the stories we repeat until they become part of who we think we are. I also walk you through a simple exercise to revisit the defining moments in your life and rewrite the meaning behind them in a way that supports who you are becoming. If you have been carrying an old story that keeps pulling you back into pain, this episode is an invitation to feel it, honor it, and then decide what story you want to carry forward.

What happens when betrayal forces you to take a closer look at friendship, loyalty, boundaries, and the people you allow into your inner circle? In this raw walking episode, I’m opening up about old friendship wounds that resurfaced, the meaning I’ve made from betrayal, and the patterns I’ve had to confront in myself. I share personal stories involving broken trust, business and friendship becoming intertwined, being ghosted by someone I loved like a sister, and the moments that made me realize I needed stronger discernment around who gets access to me.
We also talk about red flags, reciprocity, letting go, and the difference between blaming yourself and honestly owning your part in what you tolerated or overlooked. If you’ve ever experienced friendship betrayal, ghosting, broken trust, or a relationship that no longer feels aligned, this episode is an invitation to reflect on your standards, your boundaries, and what you may be ready to leave behind.

(0:00) Why betrayal is coming back up for me
(0:59) A raw walking journal on trust and friendship
(1:44) What it really means to burn a bridge
(4:06) When old friendship wounds resurface
(6:23) Why “I’ve got you” became a trigger

(14:17) Confronting the betrayal and what happened next
(17:41) When a best friend disappears without closure
(22:12) When a toxic marriage changes a friendship
(26:16) Discernment, loyalty, and the red flags I notice now
(30:50) Owning your part without owning their choices
(34:08) Final thoughts on betrayal, boundaries, and letting go

What if the way you create your life has less to do with pushing harder and more to do with the way you think, speak, imagine, and respond to what is in front of you? In this special episode, recorded live with my Lotus Rising community in Sedona, I’m sharing five principles that have deeply changed the way I move through life. These ideas were shaped through grief, divorce, major transitions, and the seasons that forced me to question what I truly believe.
We talk about seeing life as a game, becoming more intentional with your words, releasing resistance, using imagination as a tool, and learning to live as if what you desire is already possible. I also walk through a real example of making space for what you want and share why I see faith as acceptance rather than something limited to religion. If you’re in a season of change or you feel stuck between what you want and what you currently see, this conversation is an invitation to shift your perspective and move with more trust.

IN THIS EPISODE:
(00:00) Inside the live Lotus Rising event
(01:12) The hard lessons that shaped these principles
(02:35) Principle 1: Life is a game
(03:47) Principle 2: Your word is your wand
(05:49) Principle 3: Why non-resistance matters
(08:35) Principle 4: Imagination before manifestation
(09:32) The “act as if” exercise
(14:23) Making space for what you desire
(17:24) Principle 5: Faith is acceptance
(18:56) Integrating the five principles

What does healthy aging really look like, especially for women? In this episode, I’m joined again by Colleen to talk about women’s health, longevity, nutrition, movement, stress, and the habits that support feeling stronger as we age. We also talk about her background in oncology, why she shifted toward prevention, what healthy aging looks like from the inside out, and the daily choices that can support energy, mobility, and overall wellness.
We also get into glutathione, liposomal absorption, vitamin C, gut health, probiotics, digestive enzymes, supplement quality, and the role of gratitude in longevity. Plus, we have some fun with an island survival challenge where we each choose the foods and supplements we would want with us. If you’re looking for practical, realistic ways to support healthy aging without overcomplicating your routine, this episode is for you.

In this special conversation with Alyssa Stefanson, I’m sharing how grief, loss, and some of the hardest seasons of my life became catalysts for a deeper spiritual awakening. We talk about the evolution of my work from fitness and nutrition into soul work, what it has looked like to go inward during major life upheavals, and the new tools that began opening as I learned to trust my intuition more deeply. I also share how some of these spiritual gifts showed up in childhood, why stepping out of the “spiritual closet” felt vulnerable, and how the loss of my son changed the way I understand grief, signs, and connection beyond what we can physically see.
We also talk about Soul Writing Out Loud, the vision behind the show, surrender, manifestation, and what I feel called toward next. This episode is for anyone navigating grief, spiritual awakening, intuition, or a season where your life feels like it is being rearranged from the inside out. I hope this conversation reminds you that your hardest experiences can become powerful initiations, that you do not have to force every next step, and that learning to trust your inner knowing can completely change the way you move through your life.
