In this episode, I’m joined by empowerment coach Boyan Dobrev for a deep and soulful conversation on emotional healing, mind-body connection, and what it truly means to live in alignment.

We explore the power of EFT (emotional freedom technique), the four stages of empowerment, and how practices like Human Design and theta healing can support quantum shifts in both life and business. Boyan shares how unprocessed emotions can show up as physical pain—and how releasing them can unlock your creativity, clarity, and sense of purpose.

If you're ready to shift from survival to significance and reconnect with your intuition, this episode is for you.

In this soul-stirring episode of The Rise & Flow Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Melody Crisp, co-founder of THR5VE, a grassroots humanitarian charity supporting community-led healing in Myanmar and beyond.

Together, we dive into what it really means to lead in crisis—from military coups and natural disasters to deep-rooted trauma and systemic injustice. Melody shares how THR5VE is shifting the narrative around aid with an ethically grounded, holistic approach that centres dignity, community empowerment, and sustainable development.

This is more than an interview—it’s a call-in to reimagine the way we serve, support, and stand in solidarity with the global collective, with a particular focus on Myanmar—a nation navigating heartbreak with resilience, often far from the headlines.

If you feel moved, we’re also raising funds to support direct earthquake relief efforts in Myanmar and long term projects through trusted grassroots channels.

In this episode, we’re diving DEEP. I’m opening up about a bold move that rocked my world (and might just inspire yours): why I unfollowed everyone on social media last year. Yep, you heard that right. We’re talking about the ripple effects of this one decision and how it reshaped my business, personal growth, and connection to my purpose.

Social media is a powerful tool, but let’s be real—it’s a double-edged sword. In this episode, I explore the ways it impacts our mental wellbeing and the clarity that comes from stepping back to truly rest and heal. I’ll share how understanding my human design has become my secret weapon for navigating the digital jungle with more alignment and ease.

This isn’t about ditching social media entirely, but about creating a healthier, more intentional relationship with it. Together, we’ll unpack the importance of self-awareness, authenticity, and building a business that feels sustainable—not just for your bottom line but for your soul.

Let’s challenge the hustle culture narrative and start reflecting on the role social media plays in our lives. Is it fueling your growth, or keeping you in a cycle of burnout and comparison?

If you’re ready to rewrite the rules and create a business (and life) that supports your magic, you’re in the right place.

Grab your journal, pour your favorite tea, and join me as we reimagine what’s possible when we move beyond traditional platforms. It’s time to reclaim your energy and step into a more empowered way of showing up.

This episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. Are you ready?
