Something that has been making it’s way into my awareness A LOT lately is the difference between familiarity and comfort. The language we use to describe thoughts and emotions is massively powerful and can create a mental and emotional state of stop or go. In the personal development space there is a lot of talk about the comfort zone and …
117: Sharing Your Dark to Find Your Light with Anna David
On the show and in my personal life, I’ve focused in a bit lately on this conversation of darkness and light, and even did a show (Entering The Darkness and Finding The Light) specifically on that topic. The things that we’ve ashamed of or have strong feelings about, whether it’s addiction or something that may have happened to us, aren’t …

113: How to Cultivate Renegade Beauty with Nadine Artemis
The beauty industry, for men and women, has had a strong focus on the veneer. It’s largely about acquiring and applying beauty as opposed to radiating beauty from the inside out. There’s no better example that I know of personally who radiates health and well-being as much as Nadine Artemis and when it comes to cream of the crop pure …
