60. Creativity: You May Have More Than You Think

A recent conversation got my wheels turning about creativity and what it really means. In this episode, I'm sharing some reflections and questions that encouraged me to think about creativity in a broader way. Not just as something artists do, but as something that shows up in everyday life more often than we realize. If you've ever thought, "I'm just not a creative person," I hope this episode helps you recognize your own creativity in places you may not have noticed before.

59. Perspective: Power or Problem?

How much of our experience comes from what happens...and how much comes from the way we see it? In this episode, I'm sharing thoughts about perspective. From a conversation at a historic home, to memories from childhood, to a rainy day at Disneyland, each one reminded me that people can experience the same thing very differently. It’s a conversation about assumptions, curiosity, and the reminder that there may be more to a story than we can see from where we're standing. If you've ever changed your mind about a person, a situation, or the meaning of something after seeing it differently, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.

57. Energy Healing Q&A With My Hubby

How do you explain energy work to people who’ve never experienced it before? And what does the spouse of an energy healer really think about all of this? In this episode of Catching Sunshine, my husband Dean joins me for a relaxed, honest conversation about the work I’ve been doing for decades — including the questions people ask us most often. We talk about skepticism, faith, intuition, what actually happens in a SimplyAlign session, generational patterns, and what Dean has personally witnessed after years of having a front row seat to this work. This isn’t a polished “expert interview.” It’s more like sitting at the kitchen table with us while we talk through the questions people are often curious to ask. Whether you’re brand new to energy work, quietly curious, or have wondered how this fits with faith and real life, this episode opens the door to a grounded, practical conversation about what I do and why I care so much about it.

56. The Power of the Pause: Inspired Speed vs Pressured Speed

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do isn’t speed up — it’s pause. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts on decision-making, pressure, intuition, and the difference between moving quickly because something feels aligned… versus moving quickly because something feels urgent. If life has felt noisy lately, or you’ve been trying to sort out your next step, I think you’ll connect with this one. And if you’re in a season where you’re trying to sort through a decision, reconnect with yourself, or get clearer on your next step, I’d love to support you.
