If you're seeking location freedom, dream partnerships, financial freedom, and a life in which self-care is a priority, this episode is for you. If you're a soul-led entrepreneur, a conscious creative, a holistic healer, or impact driven dreamer, also for you! The number 1 thing I lacked when I started Oui, We… It wasn't the passion — I had big dreams and future vision of what was possible for this space, and I could feel in the ether something was brewing for me. It wasn't the skill set — I'd spent over a decade working in sales, marketing, education, and operations — I knew what to do and how to drive a business forward. What held me back? What kept me playing small? Simple: confidence. After a decade as a beauty industry executive, I still needed permission to be the CEO of my life. Is this you too? If you're feeling this, this is the episode for you! got In the Seachangers Business Foundations Masterclass  I taught this past week we had over 300 people register ready to step confidently into their future and learn:  How to gain value clarity to refine business ideas  How to infuse energy into income  How to step into a money magnet mindset  How to tune into the heart of business to design new offerings My exact 4 steps process to go from idea to launch Our exact launch strategy timeline that we use with every new program, offer, service, or product The one modality I use to take inspired action in alignment with my energetics If you have even an inkling of an idea for a business, tune in and then watch the replay linked here!  The one thing I wished I'd done differently?

In our episode this week I’m so grateful to have my first guest here in my home studio. We met working together on a project for Pinterest, and I was immediately drawn to his spiritual approach to making art. My guest, called the “Warhol of the 21st century” is Anderson - an international photographer, and producer fascinated by the power of perception. Obsessed with the construction of environments, Anderson’s work explores the intersection of emotional experience and sensory response associated to place. We discuss many of our shared connections. We both have a background in fashion and beauty, and both experienced complete life transformations by making unexpected international moves.   We have a conversation about learning “who you are” at the core, how to manifest something out of nothing, and how seeing different perspectives in life inform you as an individual. We then get into the creation process and what it means to dip into the divine, and create art from a place of source and spirit versus ego.  Anderson has a unique background in mathematics, which acts as a backbone to his flâneur mentality. Though his body of work exists suspended amidst abstract realism, provocative undertone and gilded, dream-like whimsy, it also provides subtext to be enjoyed on simpler terms. Anderson's commercial photography, productions, and talent activations can be seen in international publications and campaigns around the globe. Anderson currently resides in New York City and works on projects worldwide.

This week I invited three of the women who’ve been students in my courses Culte La Lune and the Opulent Shift and are active members in my membership program: Seachangers.  Culte La Lune is a manifestation method that incorporates yogic technology, psychology, cosmic alignment, and the science of human energy. Each of these women has called in major life manifestations through the process - getting incredible results via daily rituals and phase-specific exercises.  Seachangers offers a sacred space for soul-led entrepreneurs to unite and design a future where they live on their terms with passion and purpose. All three of them traveled with me to the Tulum retreat. I’ve had the beautiful fortune of serving as witness to magical transformations in all three of their lives. Here’s some background on each of these special humans: Christine Cameron spent a decade working as a personal stylist, specializing in one-on-one wardrobe consultations teaching both men and women how to work within their budget, maximize their closet, and create outfits they love to wear. She finds great joy in making each client feel valued and respected throughout their session and loves watching them flourish and become more self-assured in their everyday life.  Mariah Casales is an intuitive life coach helping people discover their truest selves with the power of Human Design. She works with clients to get down to the root of what's holding them back from whatever it is they want to accomplish. Her goal is to install empowering beliefs while showing people that struggles in life can lead to growth. Mary Kate Qualls guides women who are burned out in their careers to connect with their soul’s purpose. Her journey into recovery and healing began in 2017 and led to a full-blown spiritual awakening. She left her career at a Fortune 100 tech company and began studying a wealth of techniques and modalities: from meditation and yoga, to astrology and Soul Plan reading, to crystals and tarot and pendulum dowsing. Her certifications include master practitioner levels in Timeline Therapy and Mental & Emotional Release®️ (MER), Hypnotherapy, and NLP.

Feeling a little new to the Woo? Well, you've come to the right episode! My guest today is Adaire Smithwick. Adaire is my assistant and a content writer for my company and we’re diving into what led her to start her journey of woo woo exploration! On Your Woo Woo Best Friend we take ancient and mystical modalities incredibly seriously. My first recommendation when exploring a new practice is to do your research. Ask questions and show up with a reverence for the lineage of the practice you’re embarking on and the ancestors who’ve brought these modalities forward.  While you do that, the reality is stepping into new experiences can be scary! Our ego wants to keep us safe, and as human beings, we’re creatures of habit. However, mystical and spiritual modalities can be incredibly life-changing, and for anyone who’s experienced that you know - you had to start somewhere! It can be awkward and even humorous when entering into practices for the first time when you don’t know what you’re doing. If you’re committed to showing up in the right way, as you’re learning it’s okay to ask questions and make mistakes! What’s important is that you show up with respect. Today we’ll talk ceremonies to meditation and everything in between. And if you’re just getting started yourself, there’s something for everyone, whether you start by trying out hatha yoga, or kundalini, or meditation, or the tarot - or whether you, like Adaire, travel to a faraway destination to immerse yourself in holistic modalities and ceremonies - there’s a place for you. Adaire will share what it's like being a twenty-something working woman starting from square one on her exploration into the mystical and how it’s enhanced her self-discovery!  Resource: Sobagh Kriya: The Meditation To Invoke the Wealth of the Universe - visit our FREE 40 day practice on @cultelalune, The Alchemist, A Fable About Following Your Dream by Paulo Coelho, Daring Greatly by Brene Brown  Upcoming events to know about: The Opulent Shift: Group coaching in an intimate soul-led community featuring conscious business resources and hands-on mentorship.

In astrology, the planet Saturn represents what we are here to learn from and master the energy of in this lifetime. Saturn brings us tests and lessons to grow through. Your Saturn Return is a period of about 2.5 - 3 years when the planet Saturn returns to the position of the zodiac where it was at the moment you were born. This significant transit takes place for all of us around the ages of 28-30, again at 57-60, and once again at around 88-90 years old.  To give you a better understanding of the energy that might show up at various points within your Saturn Return I’ve invited Chelsea Jewel back to the show to walk us through it. Chelsea Jewel is an Intuitive & Karmic Astrologer, a Spiritual Life Coach, and an Intuitive Mentor to people who are looking to unlock their own intuitive gifts. Her mission is to raise the level of consciousness on the planet by helping others re-awaken to their own potential and by serving as a supportive and friendly guide for those embarking on their own journeys of self-discovery, healing, and soulful evolution.  Chelsea's work has been featured in Bustle, Romper, Authority Magazine - just to name a few - and she contributes posts about all things astrology, conscious self-care, and spiritual empowerment to Oui We.

Today we’re talking all about Akashic Records. This may be the most requested topic to date! First, what are the Akashic Records? According to the Records themselves, they are from another, higher dimension called the Akasha.  Our guest Hilary Pearlson, an Akashic Records Reader and Healing Guide says: “The Akashic Records are a vibrational record of every Soul and its journey, containing all past, present, and future possibilities. Once reserved only for mystics, saints, and scholars, the Records are now available to everyone, providing the wisdom, guidance, and support we need in this lifetime.  Everything that has life force has an Akashic Record and there are infinite questions to ask your Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones to experience empowering and transformational insights on your journey.” Hilary is also the founder of The Dreamerie, a supportive space offering readings, courses, and immersion programs to guide you in aligning with your path and purpose through the Akashic Records. For over ten years, she has drawn on her own courageous health journey to fulfill her mission of helping you heal, shift, and transform into your truest self. BTW - last year I bought Hilary’s course on reading the records. If you’re interested in experiencing an energetic realignment, in receiving the answers you are seeking, and connecting into this source of infinite knowledge this course is for you.  I was so curious about incorporating the practice and found the course to be incredibly supportive.

Big, Juicy Dreams. Tell me yours. Let's go, I want to hear them! When working with my students and clients, when talking dreams, I ask: "What are you striving for? Tell me your dreams."  Then: "If you could take it up a notch, and reach for a dream beyond what you believe is possible - what would that dream be?" And then finally: "Okay, now, let's get wildly ambitious - those dreams that would change the trajectory of your life - what do those look like?" The reality is we're often so focused on what's directly ahead of us, we can't see the sky overhead. We believe that big wins aren't for us, or that someone else has more resources, luck and tools. And let's be real - sometimes they do! We know there's all sorts of oppression and systematic ways people have been held down. We live in a system that doesn't want to see the collective rise. We aren't set up to live expansive, 5D lives. So what can you do as someone who wants to make an unlimited impact, while having unlimited wealth to do good with, while having unlimited freedom?  Believing your success is possible and having a plan of how to get there is a beautiful place to begin. When you’re operating with a powerful plan and a success driven mindset your mistakes will feel less scary. My approach is this: 1 - begin with your vision in mind 2 - set goals along the way 3 - and then have a crystal clear picture of the dreams you’re working to achieve.  This is the stuff we need to turn our dreams into reality.  It’s the "Alchemy of Success".  In this episode we’ll go into each step as we learn to begin with vision, and goal set, as we aspire to our dreams.  Upcoming events to know about: * The Opulent Shift | 90 Days to Prosperous Freedom Group coaching in an intimate soul-led community featuring conscious business resources and hands on mentorship.

Today we're talking today about aging.  Is there a spirituality to aging? Is it (still) taboo to discuss our age? What I know for sure is that it’s an incredibly hot topic, always. I was inspired to discuss aging after seeing J. Lo’s 52nd birthday instagram post. Hello badass, radiant AF babe! It was all over the social media channels. That post reminded me of a bit of inspiration I took from J. Lo three years ago. It was the year I decided to remove alcohol from my life. I’d seen an interview on IG with J. Lo in which she shared that her #1 tip for anti-aging was no alcohol. I was intrigued.  Could I have even a sliver of J Lo’s radiance if I too stopped drinking alcohol? In full transparency I had plenty of reasons to stop drinking alcohol besides the vanity of wanting a little more of what J. Lo was having. Last week I ran a quick poll on instagram stories - I asked the question “do you drink alcohol?” and 62% of you said you’re not drinking alcohol these days! I was surprised by that number, and impressed honestly, and it got me thinking is this a new thing? Is this a spirituality or wellness driven shift?! Or did everyone just imbibe too much in 2020 and we’re taking a break now? Are we starting to normalize green juice over martinis? I hope so! With that said, I’m not judging. I still love the idea of a ritual of wine or a spirit that connects you to - well, spirit. I just am not someone who was taking that ritualistic approach when it came to drinking. So much of the alcohol drinking that goes on isn’t just a ritualistic glass of wine -- and somehow it’s socially acceptable to have blackouts and hangovers.  Today my intuitive connection, my relationship to the divine, my meditation practice, and my inner radiance has turned way up since giving up alcohol. It's been a beautiful shift for me. In this episode we’re talking about giving up alcohol as an anti-aging approach. We’re also  discussing Kundalini yoga practices that support us in living an ageless life. A few modalities up for discussion: the Wim Hof cold immersion method, breathwork practices, yoga movements designed to increase our collagen production, and even chanting mantras.  I’d love to hear from you if you decide to give some of these methods a try, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on martinis vs. green juice too.  This fall I’ll be teaching a Kundalini Yoga Ageless Beauty workshop.
