He recently had an immersive art exhibition in Texas showcasing his vivid abstract paintings which correspond with music.

In episode 29, I do a solocast about the necessary process of emotional detoxing. If you’re struggling emotionally, this may shed light on how to go through this process of true self-care which is to resolve negative, trapped feelings. I share my experience of how a health crisis led me to the realization that my unresolved emotions were at the root of my illness. By going through this process, I learned how to transmute my pain into clarity and I wanted to share this with you. I cover why you need to do an emotional detox, the signs that indicate that you might need one, and what habits to cultivate so you can learn to regulate your feelings in future. Addressing the physical body, taking time for solitude completely away from your normal routine, movement, breathwork, grounding through nature, and divine connection are some of the components to getting back to emotional equilibrium.

In episode 26, I do a solocast about how to reinvent the holidays on a fundamental level. It is totally normal to be BOTH happy & sad right now. I’m going to talk about how to deal with the difficult aspects of this time such as stress, grief, spiritual bypassing, family drama, gluttony, the lies that our holidays are based upon, and the financial strain. But onto joyful things...I give you some creative ideas for conscious gift-giving. The holidays hold the positive potential for renewal in faith, childhood nostalgia, miracles, and magic. I also talk about why New Year’s resolutions are not productive and why we especially need to take care of each other during the month of January too. I'm not trying to be a Scrooge, I just believe that it's good to operate from a place of want rather than "should".

In episode 25, I do a solocast about how to truly let go. This is the perfect time of year to follow nature’s cycle and release. I specifically talk about 7 things that you possibly might need to release because I noticed a lot of coaches and self-help gurus leave out some crucial details about the letting go process. I share my personal experiences and insights around releasing harmful thoughts, self-limiting narratives, negative energetic attachments, relationships, clutter, tension, and bad habits. I also talk about mantras and what we can do to truly solidify the changes we make.
