Doing The Thing Creates Self-Trust

Bragging Might Be the Most Healing Thing You Do Today

In this episode, I unpack a moment when I was invited to explore a growth edge: bragging. I discovered how uncomfortable it felt to speak about my wins for "too long." I get into the cultural conditioning around self-praise, why we've been taught it's too much, and the healing that came from being witnessed in it intentionally, in a safe container where I could actually feel what came up and be present with it. This is an invitation to witness yourself, and others, in self-praise and to consider what becomes possible when we stop dimming our light to keep the people around us comfortable.

The Wall I Built Around My Music

Late night ramble fresh off a listening party. I've missed music. Being in a room full of artists tonight was a reminder. On this episode I talked about taking a break, the wall I was carrying for so long, the EP I made but never released and the middle school poser that still lives in my head. I'm so excited for what's to be created from this new place in my life.

You Deserve To Be Seen In Your Process

F-ck it. In the episode I explore experiencing the healing that comes with being witnessed in my process. We’ve been conditioned to believe we have to show up already having the answers - or at least looking like we do. That we need to have it all together before we’re worthy of being heard. But the most powerful thing you can do is show up exactly where you are. I explore my freeze response and the ending of a work relationship that technically was a creative match, but felt consistently inconsistent (and therefore not good), so I had to let it go. All with love. And about why “I don’t know” might be the most powerful thing any of us can say.

Doing The Thing Creates Self-Trust

In this episode, I go into what even is the point of sharing vulnerably, sharing online at all. I talk about a realization from a Kabbalistic astrology reading and how I thought I was pouring my heart and soul into things, only to realize that sometimes we don’t even recognize the ways we’re still hiding. I also get into the idea of esteemable acts creating self-esteem, and how we often bullshit ourselves into avoiding the most important thing in our day because that thing usually rubs up against our deepest fears and core wounds. And maybe the thing I’m learning most right now: it’s in honestly admitting where we are and giving ourselves genuine compassion and gentleness that we actually gain the courage to do the thing. This is foreign for so many of us because we were conditioned to believe we need to criticize, shame, or “whip ourselves into shape” in order to change. Turns out gentleness and love is much more efficient.

This stream of consciousness moves through self-trust, inner child work, the fear of being seen in process, full moon ceremonies, divine timing, and the uncomfortable beauty of becoming someone new.
