109 - I Want Expansion!
So many of us crave expansion — more capacity, more visibility, more money, more love. But expansion without contraction is like inhaling without exhaling. It's not sustainable. In this episode, I explore why growth requires both — the up-wave and the down-wave. And I offer the acronym PRISM as a guide for cycling between them. Tune in for support building capacity and riding big waves. Then join the waitlist for Resourced.

106 - Why Small Steps Matter
We live in a culture obsessed with big leaps and overnight success. But real transformation doesn't come from dramatic shifts. That's because: Small steps are not a consolation prize. They're the bridge between stuckness and possibility. In this episode, we explore why small steps matter and how they create the foundation for meaningful, sustainable change. Tune in, then join me in Resourced — a 12-week journey to reclaim your pace, power, and relationships through nervous system re-patterning. We begin September 30th. I hope you'll be with us.

Threshold Moments is a podcast about people who follow their hearts to lead their most authentic lives. Along the way they will cross over some thresholds in which it is clear that what once worked, no longer works. The next version is awaiting. The path is unknown, and safety structures will fall away.
Once a week, you can expect to hear from incredible guests about the moments that forever changed them. They'll share their messy middles, the things they can now laugh at in retrospect, the lessons they've learned along the way, and the freedom they've found by following the pull.
You'll hear about a variety of navigation tools:
Some of my guests rely on breathing, fitness, or hot/cold therapy.
Some track the moon, their menstrual cycles, their mind set, or sensations in their bodies.
Others attune to nature, their spiritual team, and/or dreams.
Others use psychedelic medicine and or psychotherapy.
No matter the tools, threshold moments tend to be ripe w/ heartbreak, excitement, fear, and possibility. Therefore this podcast is also about companionship because being accompanied and witnessed on the way through can be the most essential layer of support our nervous system and psyches can receive during a time of uncertainty and reclamation.
I started this podcast because I deeply honor the full cycle or transformation, not just the sparkly ends. I think it's inspiring. And, it lets us know we're not alone on this journey home.
My hope is that you will feel that in your bones: you. Are. not. Alone. You are in great company.
