Trigger Warning: Mentions of sexual assault and r*pe

This is one of the most vulnerable and necessary conversations I’ve ever shared.

In this episode, I speak openly about women’s safety, the patriarchal system we live in, and how deeply normalized harm towards women truly is. I reflect on my own lived experience of sexual assault and harassment, collective trauma through these horrific times, and the moment that forced me to see these systems more clearly than ever before.

This episode is not about attacking men. It’s about accountability, awareness, and the opportunity and responsibility men have to create real safety. I invite men listening to lean into discomfort, notice defensiveness, and practice listening without fragility.

And most importantly: Healing does not happen in silence, and safety begins when women are believed.

Highlights:

(01:37) Trigger warning, my Kundalini Awakening, and breaking out in hives

(04:30) The male ego and fragility in patriarchy

(6:20) “Boys will be boys”

(08:10) The hidden ways women assess safety every day

(12:40) Why silence and complicity cause harm

(16:05) What actually makes a man feel safe to a woman

(19:00) The responsibility men have beyond resisting assault

This episode is deep, personal, and very close to my heart. I’m sharing a live teaching on detachment, identity, and why learning to feel safe being seen changes everything.

We talk about the stories we tell ourselves to stay small, the shame many of us carry quietly, and how often we outsource safety instead of building it within ourselves.

I share my own journey through writing, storytelling, and self expression, including how owning my story became one of the most healing experiences of my life. This conversation is about choosing yourself, forgiving who you’ve been, and stepping into your truth without needing permission.

If you’ve felt the pull to be more visible but scared of the consequences, this episode is for you.

Highlights:

(04:55) Why staying small can feel safer than being seen

(12:30) How storytelling builds confidence and self trust

(23:10) Identity, shame, and the fear of judgment

(34:50) Creating safety within yourself instead of outsourcing it

(47:20) Detachment, magnetism, and personal power

(01:05:40) Choosing yourself without burning everything dow

If you’ve ever fantasized about becoming a published author, but you’ve let fear get in the way - this one’s for you. I’m sharing a live workshop I delivered at ALIGN - an powerful annual conference geared towards helping you step into your Higher Self. I dive into the top 4 writing and publishing myths I’ve seen in my career, breakdown the truth of the process, and dispel beliefs that stop people before they ever begin.

We talk identity before mindset as your greatest asset because no amount of tools will help if you don’t believe that your story matters. I cover why impact matters more than optics and how becoming an author is less about talent and more about conviction.

This is about letting your heart lead, trusting your message, and finally giving yourself permission to be heard. After all, I’ve personally helped over 35 authors publish and become best selling authors at Landon Hail Press, so I’ve seen the massive impact a book can make time and time again.

Highlights:

(02:13) Why identity matters more than mindset when you want to evolve

(05:40) How childhood beliefs quietly shape what you think is possible

(09:45) The belief that keeps most people from ever writing their book

(14:08) The four biggest myths about publishing, debunked

(18:55) Why you don’t need a big platform or book deal to make impact

(23:55) Writing as a legacy, not just achievement
