For so many women, the story begins the same way: waiting to be chosen, waiting to be loved, waiting for someone to see our worth. We were raised on fairy tales written by men - tales where our value was confirmed only through someone else’s gaze.

In this episode, I explore one of the most profound energetic shifts a woman can make: the evolution from princess energy to queen energy.

Aging is a luxury.

Aging women were once seen as wise women. They were held in a place of honor. When did we start seeing aging as something to hide? To erase? When money and the beauty industry started speaking louder than our own intuition.

In this deeply personal conversation, my COO Diana, sits down with me, and discusses my choice to age naturally. We dive into why I started this journey, why I chose not to use ...

What if the illness you fear most isn’t the real disease?

In this episode of Things Your Mother Never Told You, I sit down with Anita Moorjani, who was once given just hours to live. In 2006, Anita fell into a coma from end-stage lymphoma—her organs shutting down, her family was told to say goodbye.

But in the space between life and death, she discovered a profound truth: fear is the lie, and ...

Have you ever swallowed your truth to avoid conflict? Said yes when your entire body was screaming no?
So many women are taught to fear their own truth—to tuck it in, make it more digestible, less disruptive.

But here's the truth:
Self-abandonment in the name of kindness is not kindness.
It’s quiet, daily betrayal.

There’s a high cost to being the “nice girl.” It’s paid in quiet resentments, t...

What if your body has been speaking to you all along and the real work is learning how to listen?
For decades, we were taught to disconnect. To push harder, burn faster, and ignore the signals that whispered: this doesn’t feel good. We were told our bodies were problems to solve.
Tighten this. Shrink that. Flatten, firm, erase.

Join me as I sit down with the brilliant Lauren Ohayon, movement educator and f...

Who were you before the world told you who to be? Somewhere inside you, she still lives—the little girl who moved freely, dreamed without limits, and hadn't yet learned to apologize for her existence. She was 7, maybe 8 or 9, untouched by expectation. Before the performance began.

When our schedule threw a curve ball and we found ourselves with a free hour, Aram, my incredible videographer, decided to ask ...

Is non-monogamy really the higher path to spiritual awakening—or just another way to avoid commitment?

Lately, I’ve been watching a growing trend in the spiritual and wellness world that claims non-monogamy is a sign of higher consciousness, an enlightened way of loving that transcends the old, tired ideas of monogamy. Yet, so often, when spirituality merges with social media influence and unchecked ego, it becomes a ...

She stood up when women were told to sit down. When the world told women to be quiet, to fit inside the mold, she refused to be convenient. Instead, she raised her voice and encouraged women to be louder, to not apologize for owning their space and their powerful feminine sensuality.

What if everything you’ve been told about midlife was a lie?

We are sold a crisis—a slow decline, a tragedy waiting to happen. The world tells us to fight it, to shrink ourselves, to disappear quietly. But what if midlife isn’t something to survive? What if it’s the most powerful rebirth you will ever experience?

What if the very tool you rely on to safeguard your energy is secretly building walls around your heart? Boundaries—once revered as the key to inner peace—are now, for many, the barrier to the deep, nourishing connection we all crave.

In this episode, I’m exploring how our modern obsession with boundaries can, paradoxically, lead to loneliness. While knowing when to say no is vital, it’s just as crucial to...
