We chase joy like it’s hiding somewhere in the distance—waiting for us at some elusive milestone, success, or version of ourselves we’ve yet to become. But the truth? The life you want, the *thrive* you crave, doesn’t live “over there.” It lives here—in this moment, in *you.*In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked truth that you’re already equipped for the life you desire. You just haven’t been shown how to *be* in it.I walk through the foundational skills that lead us there—like nervous system regulation, emotional allowance, and gentle curiosity toward ourselves—and how they stack to unlock the most powerful shift: the art of being.With raw honesty and practical insight, I share how this journey is unfolding in my own life—what tools are working, what didn’t, and what being present really looks like when the past still echoes.This isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning to be with yourself right where you are—and discovering the deep joy that’s already waiting.

In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to *come home to yourself.*So many of us are walking through life in survival mode—shaped by old patterns, buried under coping tools we picked up just to make it through. But beneath all of it, *you’re still there.* Whole. Sacred. Powerful.This episode is part story, part gentle guide, as I walk you through my own messy, raw journey of peeling back the overwhelm and slowly—sometimes painfully—unlearning what I thought was “me” so I could finally reconnect with who I’ve always been.You’ll hear practical tools, mindset shifts, and heart-opening truths that have helped me find joy *in the process,* not just the outcome.✨You are not your coping. You are not your pain. You are the spirit underneath it all—waiting to be seen, loved, and welcomed back home.

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re talking about one of the hardest—and most transformative—steps on the healing journey: releasing.

So many of us believe we have to get “there” before we can finally feel what we’re longing for. We hustle for worth, strive for achievement, and cling to the idea that once we arrive, then we’ll feel loved, important, valued, and finally at peace.

But the truth is, “there” doesn’t exist the way we think it does. What we’re truly chasing isn’t a destination—it’s a feeling. And the unthinkable truth is: we can access that feeling right now, without waiting for life to be perfect.

In this vulnerable episode, I share how I’ve learned (and am still learning) to:

• Release the obsessive chase for arrival

• Recognize the feelings underneath our big goals

• Find peace, worth, and joy in the smallest present moments

• Connect to nature, to glimmers, and to the quiet magic around us

• Give ourselves the patience, grace, and love that others never gave us

Releasing isn’t giving up—it’s the doorway to living. And it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re unraveling one of the deepest wounds so many of us carry: the belief that we are somehow broken.

We look at the coping patterns we’ve developed—the ways we shut down, dissociate, people-please, overwork—and we see evidence of our flaws. But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. Your spirit isn’t gone—it’s hiding.

Your soul is incredibly strong and brave. It found ways to survive unimaginable things. What feels fractured now is the echo of the brilliant strategies that once kept you safe. And the path to thriving isn’t in fixing yourself—it’s in finding the part of you still hiding in the dark corners of old traumas and sitting with them in compassion and grace.

In this episode, I share how to:

• Recognize that your “brokenness” is actually survival wisdom

• Gently find and sit with the hidden parts of yourself still stuck in the past

• Offer the compassion and safety you always needed

• Understand why this work is the true path to thriving, peace, and self-love

You are not broken. You are waiting to be seen, loved, and welcomed back home. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re digging deep into a cycle so many of us know too well: learning… failing… and then beating ourselves up for it.

We know the truth—that growth requires mistakes, that learning means trying, falling, and trying again. Yet somehow, we still sit at the table expecting perfection from ourselves. Why? Because that pressure for perfection was placed on us long ago—and we’ve been carrying it ever since.

In this episode, I share my own recent experience getting caught in this very cycle, and how I found my way back to myself with compassion instead of shame. We’ll talk about:

• Why we keep falling into patterns of self-judgment

• How these cycles actually affect us and keep us stuck

• Practical ways to break free and create the safety we never had

• How to replace self-hate with grace, and sit with ourselves in the “broken” without trying to fix it all

Because the healing we’re searching for doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from learning to love ourselves right in the messy middle. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re talking about one of the biggest traps in healing—and in life: the obsession with results.

So often, we’re fixated on the outcome. Did we change enough? Heal enough? Achieve enough? It’s our ego’s way of chasing worth, constantly grasping for proof that we’re good enough, lovable enough, safe enough.

But here’s the truth: when you let go of the results and sink into the process—when you choose to simply be here and enjoy the now—you don’t just find more peace and thrive. You actually end up creating more of the results you wanted in the first place.

In this episode, I share how shifting from outcome-driven living to presence-driven living transformed my healing journey, my joy, and my sense of worth. And I’ll give you practical ways to start embracing the moment instead of living for the finish line.

Because the life you want isn’t waiting at the end. It’s happening right now. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we quiet the noise and come back to the simple, grounding truth of healing: start where you are.

With so much information, advice, and pressure on how to heal “the right way,” it’s easy to feel like you’re doing it wrong or not doing enough. But the one thing I’ve learned over and over is this: healing is deeply personal, deeply intuitive, and there is no one-size-fits-all roadmap.

This episode is a reminder that your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You don’t need to be able to do it all. You don’t need to judge yourself for what you can’t yet do. Instead, meet yourself exactly where you are, with what you can offer yourself today — and let that be enough.

When you give yourself permission to heal at your own pace, you create real, lasting change — rooted in self-compassion, not shame. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, I get raw and real about what it actually looks like to stay with yourself in the middle of a trigger. Not in theory — in practice.

Healing isn’t about never being triggered. It’s about learning how to stay connected to yourself while the crazy comes out to play — and how to come back with compassion when you get pulled under.

I walk you through 3 vulnerable, personal situations where I was fully triggered, and step-by-step, share what I did to stay with myself and return to safety. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about building real muscle memory for when life hits hard.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually stay present with yourself in the hard moments, this episode gives you practical tools you can start using right where you are. 💛
