E 13: Who Gets Up Stairs Access? Understanding Emotional Boundaries Through Dreams

E18 Healing Begins With Safety (Part 2)

(This is Part 2)...In my latest episode, I dive deep into the journey from fixing my body to fully inhabiting it. After battling autoimmunity and feeling lost in a sea of solutions, I realized that healing isn't about finding a quick fix—it’s about embracing my body and understanding what it truly needs. Dream work led me to confront my fears and uncover the root causes of my struggles. It’s a transformative practice that can change your perception of healing. If your body could speak, what would it tell you? It’s time to shift the narrative from fixing to being devoted to ourselves. Please like and share, and don't forget to leave a review.

E 17 From "Fixing" Myself to Inhabiting My Body (Part 1 )

PART 1 of 3... For most of my life, I approached my body as something that needed to be managed, improved, healed, or "fixed." When autoimmunity entered the picture, I doubled down—searching for answers through diets, supplements, protocols, and endless self-improvement. But eventually I began to wonder if healing itself had become another form of control. In this episode, I share the personal story of how a health journey became something much deeper: an invitation to listen instead of manage, to relate instead of control, and to come home to a body I had spent years trying to change. Through dreams, symbolism, nervous system awareness, and unexpected insights, I began to discover that the real question wasn’t “How do I fix myself?” but “What would it mean to truly inhabit my life?” Stay tuned because this will be a multipart series.

E16 The Uncomfortable Spaces That Change Us

In this episode, we move away from the traditional interview format and into something more organic — a dialogue between peers, where my classmate Billy Perkins, aka B Ray and I have fun exploring the deeper layers of transformation, consciousness, and becoming. Together, we discuss liminal spaces, the discomfort of change, and why so many people avoid the darker or uncertain valleys of life. We explore how those in-between spaces, though uncomfortable, are often the very places that initiate growth, self-awareness, and transformation. This conversation touches on themes from our graduate program in Consciousness and Transformative Studies, weaving together personal insight, big-picture thinking, and reflections on what it means to face ourselves honestly instead of constantly trying to escape discomfort. If you’ve ever found yourself standing between an old version of yourself and something not yet fully formed, this episode is for you. Please like and share! I would love to hear your insights.

E 15 Do Dreams Mean Anything? Understanding What Happens While We Sleep

Most of us dream every night—but we rarely stop to ask what those dreams might mean, or if they matter at all. In this episode, I sit down with my professor of dream studies, Linda Mastrangelo, to explore what’s actually happening while we sleep. We talk about why dreams occur, how they relate to our waking lives, and whether they can offer insight into what we’re processing emotionally and psychologically. We also explore how different cultures have worked with dreams throughout history, and how modern approaches to dreamwork invite curiosity rather than rigid interpretation. This is a grounded, accessible conversation for anyone who’s ever woken up wondering, “What was that about?”—and wants a deeper understanding of the role dreams play in our lives.
