Make Love To You

In this episode of Make Love To You, we officially step into a new season, where healing isn’t just something we talk about...it’s something we activate.After a deeply personal run of episodes rooted in honesty and reflection, today we move from awareness into transformation. I’m joined by transformational coach Charlotte Silver, whose gift is helping people turn clarity into momentum and breakthrough into embodiment.We talk about what it really means to evolve, not by rejecting who we used to be, but by honoring the version of ourselves that survived long enough for us to grow beyond it. We explore discomfort as a doorway instead of a wall, why peace can’t be found through chasing or performing, and how true transformation can only exist when action follows realization.And for the first time, I introduce The Make Love To You Signature Embrace — a closing practice to help you root into your own power through breath, affirmation, and self-holding.If you’ve ever felt like you’re ready for your next level but unsure how to move toward it, this episode is your invitation. Your reminder. Your activation.Press play. Breathe deep. And let’s rise together.

What if life isn’t trying to test you… but transform you?In this episode, I sit with my brother and Medicine Man "Gabe Orta" to explore what lives beyond faith. Not the kind of faith that waits and hopes… but the kind of knowing that rises from the ashes of every version you’ve been.We talk about the moments when your spirit feels split in two. When the person you used to be doesn’t fit anymore, but the person you’re becoming hasn’t fully landed yet.The in-between. The unraveling. The sacred chaos.We talk about:    •    How life doesn’t happen to you — it happens for you    •    Why the universe is so unconditional, we start putting conditions on ourselves just to feel worthy of receiving    •    The wounds we thought were healed — reopening not to hurt us, but to free us for real this time    •    The quiet power that comes when you stop praying for change… and start embodying itThis isn’t an episode about staying strong.It’s about remembering that breaking is also holy.If you’re in a season of shedding… shifting… or being stretched in ways you don’t have words for yet — this one’s for you.Take a breath.You’re not falling apart.You’re becoming.Tap in. 🙏

What if the healing you’ve been praying for… has already been placed inside you?In this episode of Make Love To You, I sits down with Rev. Juan of Unity on the Bay in Miami to explore what it really means to be created in God’s image — and how that truth changes the way we experience pain, healing, and faith.This conversation takes us beyond stained-glass windows and church walls, into a deeper, more personal connection with God’s presence. Juan reminds us that healing isn’t about waiting for answers to arrive — it’s about remembering the power that’s already within.Whether you’re exploring spirituality, searching for peace, or simply needing encouragement in your own journey, this episode offers wisdom, warmth, and a fresh way to see God’s light in your everyday life.Unity on the Bay Website:https://www.unityonthebay.org/Unity on the Bay Resource Libraryhttps://www.unityonthebay.org/support

What if the weight you’re carrying right now isn’t random? What if the confusion, the setbacks, and the breakthroughs are part of a greater rhythm calling you deeper into healing?In Part 2 of Healing in Real Time, I sit down with astrologer and healer Deb McBride to explore how the stars mirror our lives, revealing the patterns we’re moving through and the lessons rising to the surface.This conversation isn’t about predicting the future, it’s about understanding timing, alignment, and why certain seasons of life feel so heavy, transformative, or necessary. Together, we open up what it means to face old wounds, embrace growth, and see meaning in the cycles that shape us.If you’ve ever wondered why now? Why life feels the way it does in this moment? ....this episode is an invitation to find clarity, compassion, and courage in your own journey.

For the first time on Make Love To You Podcast, I show you what healing looks like in real time. This episode is Part One in a special 4-part series, where I take you on a journey with a therapist, a minister, an astrologer, and an energy and spiritual healer as I face and overcome a bout with depression.Part One of "Healing in Real Time," I return to where my healing journey began: therapy.After my father killed my mother when I was ten, my grandparents put us in therapy. It was there I learned one of the most important truths of my life — that talking about pain is the first step toward healing. My grandmother used to say, “Talk to your pain.” That wisdom has stayed with me ever since.In this conversation with Dominique, a psychotherapist whose insight I deeply respect, we explore the power of speaking our pain out loud, the courage it takes to not go through it alone, and the relief that comes when someone truly listens.If you’ve ever felt the weight of carrying it all by yourself, this episode is for you.This is healing, in real time.

Before we transition into the next season of Make Love To You, where you’ll start to see the podcast in video form, this final audio episode holds a special place.It’s a tribute.A pause.A conversation we don’t have enough.One year ago, I lost my best friend Karina to depression. Many of you saw me post about it recently on Instagram and Facebook, and the outpouring of love reminded me: we need more spaces to talk about the things that often stay hidden.This episode is a love letter—to Karina, to anyone who’s quietly struggling, and to those of us trying to love someone who is.In it, I reflect on the laughter and light Karina brought into this world, and how—despite all the joy you saw—she was deeply hurting in ways we didn’t fully see. I open up about my own experience with depression, how it can mask itself in smiles and success, and the years I lived with it silently.We walk through:How depression hides in plain sightWhat it looks and feels like in yourself and othersHow to reach for support—and how to offer itThis is a vulnerable, heartfelt conversation about mental health, grief, and the deep, sometimes invisible journey back to yourself.If you or someone you love is carrying more than they’re saying… please listen. This one’s for you.

In this final episode of the Roots & Rituals series, we return to something ancient, sacred, and often forgotten—rest. Not just physical rest, but soul-level surrender. The kind of rest that invites you back to yourself, where nothing needs to be earned, proven, or performed.This episode is a love letter to slowing down, honoring the Sabbath within you, and remembering that sacredness doesn’t have to be loud or elaborate. Sometimes, it’s a soft breath, a quiet prayer, a warm bath, or the courage to stop. We talk about oils, sacred smoke, music, stillness—and the difference between ritual as a performance vs. ritual as a return.If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting… this one is for you.If your nervous system has forgotten what safe feels like… this one is for you.If you’re ready to reconnect with the Divine without leaving your body behind… this one is for you.Thank you for walking through this series with me.

In this episode of Make Love To You, we return to the most ancient and accessible ritual of all: the breath.You don’t need an altar. You don’t need a playlist. You don’t need perfect silence or spiritual credentials. You need breath—and you already have it.This conversation explores how the breath becomes both compass and companion: the one practice that’s always available, no matter how far we stray from ourselves. Whether you’re caught in overthinking, anxiety, numbness, or grief, your breath is the gentle invitation home.We talk about the power of conscious breathing, the emotional layers it can unlock, and why embodiment starts with the inhale. Darnell shares personal reflections, spiritual insight, and practical encouragement for listeners ready to reconnect with their bodies—not as a task, but as a return.If you’ve ever felt like you don’t know where to begin, this episode will remind you:Begin right here.Right now.With breath.

What if your most sacred ritual isn’t something you do, but something you are?In this episode of Make Love To You, Darnell Davis invites us to stop searching for the perfect routine and start remembering the truth: your body is an altar. Your breath is a prayer. Your attention is the offering.For anyone who’s ever felt unsure about where to begin with ritual—or quietly wondered if they even have one—this is a gentle reminder that you already carry the sacred within you. No incense, playlist, or morning journal required.We explore:Why ritual begins with presence, not performanceHow your body functions as a spiritual mapA simple, heartfelt breakdown of the seven chakrasAnd a soul food practice to reconnect with one part of yourself this weekThis isn’t about becoming more spiritual.It’s about realizing you already are.Listen now and come back home to the altar within.

Some rituals were chosen.Others… were absorbed.This episode explores the invisible inheritance we carry—the habits, beliefs, and traditions passed down through generations, often without question. The things we do without knowing why. The words, rhythms, and roles we stepped into before we had the language to name them.But what happens when those rituals no longer fit?When a practice that once felt sacred starts to feel like a performance?When a tradition wrapped in love also carries the weight of silence, shame, or survival?In this deeply reflective chapter of the Roots & Rituals series, we’re untangling what’s ours to keep, what’s ready to be released, and how to make space for rituals rooted not in repetition—but in truth.This episode is a gentle call to inventory the emotional and spiritual routines we inherited…and the beginning of choosing again.
