Episode 141: My Story, My Journey & Why I'm Here
1w ago00:56:36Tap to summarizeWelcome (or welcome back)! It feels fitting that after almost three years of podcasting, I'm recording a new introduction episode. So much has changed since I first launched this podcast, and I wanted to share a little more about my story, how I got here, and why I do the work that I do. In this episode, I take you all the way back to growing up in a small town in Minnesota, my journey through corporate sales, discovering yoga, becoming a Kundalini Yoga teacher, and eventually taking the leap into entrepreneurship. I share how Kundalini Yoga completely changed my life. It helped me heal my relationship with myself, overcome addiction, reconnect to my purpose, and gave me the courage to build a business that truly aligns with who I am. I also talk about what the last few years have looked like—hosting retreats around the world, coaching incredible clients, building a six-figure business, and continuing to evolve both personally and professionally. More than anything, this episode is about why this business exists. My mission isn't simply to help people become more successful. It's to help high achievers reconnect to themselves, break old patterns, discover their purpose, and create lives that feel deeply peaceful, meaningful, and fulfilling. If you've been listening for years, thank you for being here. And if you're brand new, I'm so grateful you found this community. I'm excited for what's ahead.

Transcribe →Episode 140: My Big Why: Why I Do This Work
2w ago00:37:55Tap to summarizeThis episode is a little more personal. I'm recording from Italy after spending the past month traveling through Europe, leading retreats, continuing my own personal growth, and having one of the most impactful coaching sessions I've ever experienced. It gave me the opportunity to step back and reconnect with why I started this business in the first place. In this episode, I share my "big why." I talk about the years I spent chasing success on the outside—through my career, relationships, money, and achievement—only to realize none of those things could give me the lasting fulfillment I was looking for. It wasn't until I turned inward and began healing my relationship with myself that everything changed. In this episode, I also share a few reflections from my month in Europe, what I've learned from my own journey, and why I believe investing in your inner world changes everything. If you've been feeling like there has to be more to life than simply achieving the next thing, I hope this conversation reminds you that the answers you're searching for aren't outside of you—they've been within you all along. If you're ready to begin that inward journey, I'd love to support you. Ready for Highest Self Private Coaching?

Transcribe →Episode 139: A Little Life Update: Europe, Growth & What I'm Learning Right Now
3w ago00:24:14Tap to summarizeIn this short and sweet episode, I'm sharing a few reflections from my time in Europe so far and what's been on my heart lately. I talk about our recent Peace & Purpose Retreat in Portugal and why it felt so special. From the incredible people who showed up to the breakthroughs, connections, and transformations that unfolded throughout the week, this retreat was a beautiful reminder of what becomes possible when we step away from our everyday lives and create space to reconnect with ourselves. I also share about my recent Level 2 Kundalini Yoga training, where we focused on conscious communication. The teachings were incredibly powerful, and I'm especially excited to bring what I learned into our upcoming couples retreat and relationship work. We also touch on the Summer Solstice and why this time of year is such a powerful opportunity to reflect, realign, and reconnect with what matters most. Finally, I open up about something I've been experiencing personally: a season of reinvention. As I continue growing, learning, and evolving, I'm finding myself in a deeper process of alignment with who I am, how I want to live, and the future of my business. It's both exciting and uncomfortable, and I share some honest reflections on what it looks like to trust yourself through periods of change and expansion. If you've been feeling called to slow down, reconnect to yourself, or embrace a new chapter in your own life, I think you'll really enjoy this conversation.

Transcribe →Episode 138: Human Design And Why You're Not Broken, Just Misaligned
Jun 1600:33:50Tap to summarizeHave you ever felt like you're doing all the things you're supposed to do, but something still feels off? Maybe you're working hard, following the advice, trying to make things happen, and yet you feel exhausted, frustrated, or disconnected from yourself. In this episode, I'm talking about one of my favorite tools for self-awareness and personal growth: Human Design. The truth is, so many people think something is wrong with them when really they're trying to live a life that isn't aligned with who they truly are. I share how reconnecting with my own Human Design as an Emotional Projector has completely shifted the way I'm approaching life and business. For years, I've been pushing, forcing, initiating, and trying to make things happen. Lately, I've been learning what it means to trust my design more deeply and create success in a way that actually feels sustainable. In this episode, we talk about: Why Human Design has been so transformational in my life Understanding your energy type, strategy, and authority How conditioning pulls us away from our authentic selves Why so many people feel exhausted and stuck Learning to trust yourself and your natural way of operating How Human Design can improve your relationships, business, and decision-making Creating more ease, alignment, and self-acceptance One of the things I love most about Human Design is that it reminds us we don't have to become someone else to be successful. We don't need to fit into someone else's formula.If you've been feeling disconnected, frustrated, burned out, or like life shouldn't feel this hard, this episode is for you. Maybe you're not broken. Round 3 of Highest Self Mastermind begins August 5th. This mastermind is for high achievers ready to stop repeating old cycles, reconnect to themselves, and create a life they're genuinely excited to wake up to—one filled with more peace, purpose, and personal power.

Transcribe →Episode 137: The Spiritual Practice That Changed Everything For Me
Jun 900:28:41Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I'm sharing the spiritual practice that completely changed the direction of my life and helped me reconnect to myself, my purpose, and my inner peace. There was a time in my life where I looked successful on the outside, but internally I felt anxious, disconnected, and trapped in patterns of escapism. My life revolved around constantly trying to change the way I felt — through Adderall, alcohol, distraction, and staying busy. Even though I had success, relationships, and opportunities, I still felt empty and disconnected from myself. Everything started shifting when I found Kundalini yoga. In this episode, I talk about: my journey with addiction, anxiety, and escapism how Kundalini yoga helped me get off Adderall why daily spiritual practice became the foundation for my healing and growth the connection between inner peace and purpose why so many people feel disconnected from themselves today how spiritual practice helps clear subconscious patterns and reconnect you to your truth the importance of consistency and devotion creating a life that feels meaningful from the inside out I also share how this practice ultimately led me to the work I do today — coaching, retreats, podcasting, and helping others reconnect to their highest selves. This conversation is really about remembering that fulfillment does not come from constantly chasing the next thing externally. It comes from reconnecting to yourself internally. I truly believe that having some kind of daily spiritual practice is one of the most important things we can do for our mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing in today's world. I also talk about: my upcoming Europe trip attending Kundalini teacher training in Mallorca hosting retreats abroad navigating uncertainty while still trusting my path why spiritual growth often happens through challenge and discomfort If you've been feeling disconnected, anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or like there has to be more to life than just going through the motions… this episode is for you. Highest Self Mastermind begins August 5th. This mastermind is for high achievers ready to stop repeating old cycles, reconnect to themselves, and create a life they're genuinely excited to wake up to — one filled with more peace, purpose, and personal power.

Transcribe →Episode 135: Why High Achievers Feel Empty Even When Life Looks Good
May 2600:20:27Tap to summarizeHave you ever looked around at your life and thought… "Why don't I feel happier than this?" You did everything you were supposed to do. You worked hard. Built the career. Created success. Maybe even found love, built the life, checked all the boxes… yet something still feels missing. In this episode, I'm talking about the lie so many of us have been sold, that fulfillment comes from external success. I share my own experience of building a life that looked good on paper while quietly feeling disconnected from myself and the life I truly wanted to live. Deep down, I knew I was meant for more. And I know so many people feel this way too. We dive into: why high achievers often feel empty even when life looks successful how survival mode disconnects us from peace, purpose, and fulfillment the exhaustion so many women feel from constantly pouring energy outward people pleasing, overworking, and suppressing your own needs why anxiety, burnout, scrolling, numbing, and emotional disconnection happen the importance of healing your relationship with yourself reconnecting to your intuition, truth, and highest self what true prosperity actually means how fulfillment comes from alignment, authenticity, and intentional living I also talk about how many women were conditioned to prioritize work, achievement, helping others, and being productive over their own emotional wellbeing, desires, and inner peace… and how this creates resentment, exhaustion, and disconnection over time. This episode is an invitation to stop abandoning yourself and start creating a life that actually feels aligned, meaningful, peaceful, and fulfilling from the inside out. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: Why external success doesn't automatically create fulfillment The hidden cost of overworking and people pleasing Why so many high achievers feel emotionally disconnected How to reconnect to your purpose and inner power The relationship between healing, self-connection, and fulfillment What true prosperity really means Why living intentionally changes everything ROUND 3 OF THE HIGHEST SELF MASTERMIND — STARTING JULY 15TH I also share details about the upcoming round of Highest Self Mastermind, a transformational group coaching experience designed to help you reconnect to your highest self, heal limiting patterns, strengthen your mindset, create more peace and purpose, and build a life that feels deeply aligned.
