authentic AF
this podcast is an eternal journey of understanding. an embrace of authenticity. a dance of yin and yang. a rediscovering of myself.
my mind is curious and i have an electric zest for wanting to learn more about the world and our existence in it. i'm obsessed with understanding why we are the way we are, and how that influences our lives. i want to explore everything that alights my soul, no matter how different. i’m passionate about spirituality, existential questions, and the journey we are all on. i love to talk about things people don’t talk about. i want to chat with old friends, strangers, and myself. i want to learn how someone thinks and why. i seek to question, understand, and expand the beliefs of myself, others, and humanity at large.
i’m curious, compassionate, and vulnerable. i crave an exchange of energy, a connection of souls. we are all uniquely different and yet, one. this is me exploring that. let’s dive deep!

21 | reflections on 2023: a year of observation
episode 21
today is a solo episode, where i share my reflections and introspection about 2023 — on and off the pod. i open up with my honest thoughts on where i am and how i showed up for myself. i sit in gratitude and also face hard truths. not surprisingly, authenticity is a recurring theme in much of my ruminations. i evaluate what that looks like in real life and where i’m blocking my own path.
