#22 Romanticize your life NOW for more joy 🦋- When life is a little MEH
💋For exclusive episodes, join my Patreon here:

Is your life getting a little too serious? I've been practicing romanticizing my life for almost a year now and I can tell you it actually works! This is definitely about finding and expanding the pleasure and joy in the mundane, ordinary things, but it's also about teaching my brain to work in a way that supports me and allows me to use my imagination for more creativity.
I've made a choice that every season of the year is my favorite
that I enjoy every season of my menstrual cycle,
that every crappy day is worth it,
that the job I don't like still brings me value,
that I can assume good intentions and make that a habit.
And this has made a real difference in my life!
Go ahead and try for yourself 🌸

#21 This could be the best day of your life - Choosing The Feminine Way 🦋
"This can be the best day of your life" isn't something we usually think about when real challenges are present in our lives. But I want to challenge you by asking: why? What are the reasons we consciously or subconsciously give ourselves to not experience something truly magical or miraculous today? Maybe we don't even notice how we set a limit to the joy we can feel. Maybe we don't notice that we decide how this day will go by focusing on the negative.
Problems and pain are not to be ignored, and I would never tell you to continually suppress your real emotions. But very often we forget that we can actually make a choice and start allowing more joy and expansion to occur in our lives. This is the feminine at work. We can feel pain in our bodies and still at the same time also feel pleasure. Choose what expands.
Solutions, support, and help start to flow more easily in your life when you drop back to your body, breath deep, and let even the smallest possible source of joy and pleasure expand. Release the need to control. Release and let God do what only he can.
Stop waiting for the perfect day to come. You may start to realize that there is actually no reason why this can't be the best day of your life.
All music is my own.

#19 Start Your Feminine Glow Up NOW! - Heart to Heart On Glowing + Beauty Tips
💋For exclusive episodes, join my Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/thevibrantflowfam?fan_landing=true
Part 2 of our Glow Up episode! I really felt like talking to you in a heart-led way today. Don't let media fool you into thinking glowing up can only look a certain way. Don't believe the thoughts in your head that criticize some part of your body constantly. You can only truly GLOW UP when it radiates from the inside, and when you're fully accepting yourself AND taking care of + enhancing your natural beauty! The biggest hurdle is the acceptance part for many of us women. The feminine journey you're on will reveal deeper desires and deeper beliefs you have about yourself - and some need to be healed.
I also talk about:
- natural skincare + oils in your beauty regimen
- self-massage for beautiful skin
- why I've started doing facial exercises + massage
- looking feminine and sexy (but classy)
- not being afraid to emphasize your femininity in style every day - life is too short for that!

#17 Period Love - Why I Look Forward to the End of the Cycle! (What you NEED to know)
In this part 2 of our Cycle Series, I discuss how I've learned to love my periods and the time before that. Our cycle is one of the most powerful parts of being a woman, but only if we learn to harness the powers that come with it. So let's educate ourselves further, and tune in to our bodies' wisdom! In this episode you'll learn that:
- the pill cannot balance hormones
- periods and bleeding are important for our health
- periods are an opportunity to check-in, re-asses and shed the old me (figuratively and literally)
- the superpowers in the luteal phase
- the superpowers in the menstrual phase
- why we shouldn't compare our capabilities or 'consistency' to that of men!

#16 What You NEED to Know About Periods and Menstrual Cycles - Honoring Your Cycle
This topic gets me all fired up! We as women as cyclical beings, but we're not taught or supported in embracing our nature. Instead, we try to live like men, in a linear fashion, and periods are something we're "cursed with", or it's just a burden we have to endure. A lot of this stems from cultural misconceptions and the perpetual shame around this topic. What if we learned about our cycles, the four seasons, and how we can personally support ourselves in each cycle for maximum wellbeing, joy, flow, and creativity? Wouldn't that be just wonderful? Luckily for us, I've learned that it is possible.
In this episode, I discuss
- how we're not taught what should be considered as "the basics" around menstruation and our cycles
- cultural attitudes towards periods
- the 4 seasons of each cycle and how we can learn to tap into their own potential
- learning to honor the cycle and maximizing wellbeing
- the importance of knowing what's going on in your body
- The pill and PMS
More to come on this topic!

#15 Stop Ignoring Your Emotions! - Honoring What's Really Going On
This feminine journey we've embarked on is not about having a perfect life, or pretending that nothing's ever wrong. Let's not fool ourselves into this fake positivity illusion, and let's stop denying ourselves the messy, difficult parts of having a human life. Tapping into our feminine power and potential brings more joy and ease into our lives, but for us to fully reclaim our femininity, we need to face our darker emotions, feelings, and the signals our body gives us. Honoring the WHOLE WOMAN includes honoring your internal landscape, even when it feels uncomfortable.
In this episode, I'm getting real and raw with you about what's going on with my life at this moment.

Feeling confident in your own skin and owning your femininity is sometimes much more simple than our overthinking mind allows it to be. The key is being present and fully engaged in your body and your senses and learning to expand your potential for pleasure and sensual awareness. This is why practicing sensuality has improved my own self-confidence, even though I'm not in the best shape right now (which in the past would've triggered a lot of self-rejection). Learn how to embrace and develop your sensuality to feel more confident today!

#13 Tap Into Your Innate Creativity Through Femininity

Creativity, just like femininity, is your birthright, whether or not you think you are creative. For example, for the longest time, I thought that writing wasn't my thing at all but my limiting belief (and experience) just made me think that! In this episode, I talk about how cultivating femininity only amplifies your creativity or allows you to find it in yourself for the first time. It all boils down to belief: if you think you're not creative, you probably won't see it activate in your life, and vice versa.
