Figuring Sh!t Out

"I believe that your highest path lives in the hands of a greater knowing. 
And the cure to all of your anxieties lies in that subtle desire to reach for these hands when you know you need them most. 
But what if I told you - that you actually need them all the time? And that they’ve been silently guiding your steps - here, in this moment, to receive these words, so that you can see that you are being given help, direction, grace, guidance - if you just ask for it.
So many of us WANT help. We NEED help. But we won’t ask for it. We don’t know how. We don’t know that we can. And the truth is: many of us won't humble ourselves for a mere moment, removing the idea that it’s all up to us, in order to receive it. 
We are committed to our helplessness, our hopelessness, our story that it’s all us to us - because that means we get to stay in control, even if it means we’re miserable.
If there is a small seed of belief in you already, water it with intention. Thank it for existing. 
And if you worry that it will not grow, that it does not exist - pray for clarity of vision to see it sprout right in front of your eyes, and open yourself to receive it.
And I can nearly guarantee - that you will receive that and so much more." - An excerpt from my essay written for this episode 
This discussion is about the absolute emotional alchemy that occurs when you lean on the power of prayer & give your worries, doubts, and fears up to something much larger, greater, and more knowing than you could ever be. 
I share how my spiritual journey is changing day by day and what practices and tools I'm leaning on - and how to begin implementing these tools of purification and surrender in your life.

This episode is being posted live from a jungle in Costa Rica two days after hosting my first retreat. 15 women expressing their most true selves, accessing their inner child, creating art from the depths of their hearts - all because I had an idea for a podcast almost three years ago and decided to act on it.
If that's not evidence that your ideas are blessings that must be honored, respected, and listened to - I don't know what is.
In this episode, we talk about the divine workings inside of the creative process - from conception, to discovery, to creation.
If you know you have more inside of you waiting to emerge and blossom and be let free, if you're scared to be bad in order to be good, if you're scared to be seen but crave to be known -- this episode is the reminder you need to tap into the flow that wants to call you forward.

Who told us that we were not supposed to hurt - when to feel is our greatest gift? 
Who told us that we could have ease - without a little grit?
This episode takes you on a journey discussing The Purification Process of the Dark Night of the Soul & the GIFT of enduring the transformation within it.
(Spoiler: You Can Do Hard Things & in fact, you were made to.)

Honest admittance: I'm a little scared to publish this episode.
But what would Figuring Sh!t Out be if it wasn't a testament to overcoming fear, time and time again, by getting as deeply honest as possible and sharing truths from this raw and reflective place?
This is Figuring Sh!t Out - in real time.
This episode is an existential conversation about God, Existence, and using our critical thinking and discernment when approaching spirituality. (From a girl who has not, up until recently, used a lot of discernment when approaching spirituality.)
It is a journey reflecting upon my own - and one that I simply ask you allow to let you question, let you think, let you feel your own inner judgements as they arise, let you wonder about the beliefs you're married to, and reflectively ask: is this my own?
Topics covered in this episode:
reflections from turning 26: how almost dying at birth gave way to a sentimental thought-daughter with lots of existential questions
i am reading the bible?? for the first time?? ever?? (and tbh i would recommend and if you're immediately like "no," yes that was me too up until last week. lowkey profound.)
getting out of the way to receive (including putting your ego aside) and how this connects us to artistry + God
critically thinking: spirituality / new age as a trend (that i have also fallen into) and why it's not the whole story
impure vs pure actions / intentions and how that impacts the quality of the information we receive
surrendering: we were never meant to do it all alone
discernment
God as The Judge vs God as Love: getting curious, seeing beyond religious dogma
shattering your own illusions as a ragebait for your inner evolution & growth
the fallibility of self-help / development content: you do not have to (and were never meant to) do it all on your own
the fallibility of our flesh & bone - the necessity of humility & respect
how this all helps you do hard things
God vs The Universe

Thank you for being on this journey with me.
