The Cellular Alchemist

I notice my familiar impatience rising. The urge to hurry, to get everything right, to see results immediately. Slowing down has never come naturally to me, and perhaps that is precisely why I am drawn to this pra...

I’ve come to see how trauma weaves itself through generations when left unresolved.

In this episode, I share how the wounds of the past, even if unspoken, live on in our habits, our fears, and our deepest beliefs. And how, by healing ourselves, we don’t just find peace, we offer it to those who came before us, and those who come after.

This one is a gentle invitation to pause, feel, and maybe begin your own journey of resolution...

In this episode, I reflect on our discomfort with silence.

Why does stillness feel so unsettling?

I share my own experience at a 10-day Vipassana retreat, where I saw how silence can stir up deep, hidden thoughts and why that’s actually a gift.

In this episode, we gently unfold the idea of luxury... not as the world often sells it to us, but as something far more intimate, nourishing, and quietly powerful.Yes, luxury can be gold-plated and lavish.

Because while the world won’t slow down… you can.
