20. The Power of a Slow Start: Rethinking January and the New Year

21. Grief, Spirituality and so much more with Lauren Gilhula from Living on Lemonade.

Recorded back in October, this episode features a deep and evolving conversation with Lauren Gilhula from Living on Lemonade. What begins as a discussion about grief and loss gradually unfolds into a much wider exploration of spirituality, resilience, and the tools that help us navigate life’s most difficult seasons. Lauren and I talk about how major life changes and loss can become catalysts for spiritual awakening, and how practices like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and resilience tools (including cold plunges and the Wim Hof method)  can help us learn to breathe through discomfort, pain, and emotional dysregulation. We also explore the idea of collecting tools for different seasons of life, strengthening our intuition by getting out of our heads and back into our bodies, and approaching life more like an experiment, where challenges become the “weights” that strengthen our inner world rather than something to bypass. Ultimately, this conversation touches on the shift from reacting to life to becoming more self-led: learning to trust our internal guidance, finding belonging by showing up as we truly are, and allowing the human experience ... even the hard parts... to shape and strengthen the soul. A thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation about grief, growth, intuition, and what it means to move through life with curiosity, resilience, and self-trust.

20. The Power of a Slow Start: Rethinking January and the New Year

This time of year is usually filled with pressure to set goals, define big visions, and launch into a “new year, new you” mindset. But what if January wasn’t meant for that? In this episode, I explore the idea that the first month of the year can be something different... a season for slowing down, reflecting, and letting the dust of the past year settle. Instead of forcing clarity or productivity, we can allow ourselves space to hibernate a little, reconnect with what matters, and listen for what’s actually emerging. Nature doesn’t bloom in January. It rests, regenerates, and prepares quietly beneath the surface. Maybe we’re allowed to do the same. If the pressure of goal-setting has ever felt overwhelming or premature, this conversation offers a gentler approach to beginning the year — one that honours rhythm, reflection, and starting fresh when the energy of spring naturally arrives.

19. A Personal Update: Separation, New Beginnings, and Emotional Overwhelm

This episode is a personal update and a reflection on separation, new beginnings, and the emotional overwhelm that often comes with major life transitions. I talk about what it’s been like to sit with uncertainty, regulate my nervous system, and soften expectations during change. If you’re moving through a transition of your own or feeling stretched thin, this conversation may feel grounding and familiar. I also introduce the RISE method that I've been working on: a framework centered on regulation, integration, self-trust, and embodied action. It has been guiding me through this transition and shaping the work I’m creating.
