In this episode I sit down with my beautiful friend and soul-sister Phoenyx (@queenofatlantisss) to discuss all things spiritual healing and energetic evolution. Phoenyx is a master shadow worker, tarot master and artist and she helps us understand the divine masculine and feminine, what alchemy and transmutation are how to do it, and how to tap into your dark feminine, This is a powerful conversation unpacking what it takes to unlock and embody your most juicy, fully expressed self. She explains the need for shadow work on both a personal and collective level, speaks on how to honour, express and transmute sacred rage, and how to create quantum leap experiences within your healing journey.

In this episode, I reconnected with a friend from my teenage years to share and discuss our challenges, journeys and lessons since meeting many, many years ago in Calgary. René shares his experience navigating addiction, his road to recovery, spending time in jail, and experiencing so much loss and grief - and then completely turning his life around and finding his path and purpose in helping others. We discuss the root causes of addiction, the many ways we seek and create chaos in our lives and how that manifested for each of us - and our own unique stories around finding our way to a sober, conscious way of living as well as stepping into the mentor space. René is so inspiring and has such a beautiful way of sharing his story.

I've been getting lots of questions lately from people wanting to really understand what we mean when we talk about the SHADOW SELF - so I decided to record a super short, to the point episode that will really help you get crystal clear on what your shadow IS, why it's the root of so much of your suffering, and how integrating your shadow will absolutely transform your life in the most powerful way, allow you to experience more joy, ultimate freedom and deeper authenticity.Connect with me on Instagram at @rileymurthaa or check out my website to learn more about my programs www.rileymurtha.com !Learn more and join us inside my online coaching community Empowered Consciousness Collective!www.rileymurtha.com/ecc

Those who know me, know I'm sucker for a social experiment! When Burning Man caught the media's attention in August - it sparked my interest. I always thought it was just another music festival, but the social media coverage started to show me that is it so much more.Briana (@brianna_fit_) and I met at the gym in Bali - she's a DJ, online fitness coach and personal trainer out of Glute Lab in San Diego, California - and when I realized she had attended Burning Man the last couple years I was eager to sit down with her and get the tea. What is it all about? What's it's really like being there and how did the flooding actually affect your experience? She answers all my questions and gives us the run down on what Burning Man really is - because I had an idea and assumptions until recently that did not reflect the reality.Find Briana on IG at @briana_fit_Find me on IG at @rileymurthacoaching and @rileyannem or visit my website at www.rileymurtha.com

In this episode, we explore a common and super important topic - people-pleasing. Being a people pleaser has serious consequences - it's a soul-sucking, life-ruining habit that if not corrected, will lead you into exhaustion, anxiety, depression, illness, lower your vibration and destroy your relationships. Having healthy boundaries, caring for ourselves and knowing how to meet our own needs is a MUST! We discuss the what, why and how of people-pleasing and how to stop living as though everyone else's need and desires are more important than your own.

We are in our financially empowered era! I sit down with my friend and client Candice who is a financial educator to talk about the importance of normalizing real, honest conversations about money. Money and debt are such dreaded, high-anxiety topics that really affect our energetic well-being. But guess what? We were never taught what we need to know in order to get ahead in terms of saving, investing and managing money - your financial struggles are NOT your fault. Big exhale. There are so many resources (even free ones) you can use to educate and empower yourself financially - and Candice walks us through what they are and how to access them. There is big difference between creating abundance and creating WEALTH! It's time to shed the stigma, own our situations and free ourselves.Find Candice on IG at _itscandicejFind me on IG at @rileymurthacoaching and @rileyannem or visit my website at www.rileymurtha.comFind my Money Mindset training at:https://www.rileymurtha.com/self-paced-mini-coursesDiscount code: LIFEANDSHIT for 20% OFF

On this solo-episode, I walk you through what self-love REALLY means (to me). As a self-love coach and self-proclaimed expert, I feel it's super important to de-construct and regularly re-define this concept for ourselves. I share my "5 Pillars of Self-love" framework that I use with my clients to help them radically transform their relationship with themselves to help you understand the what, why and how of a self-love journey. I talk about self-worth, self-trust, self-compassion, self-assurance and self-acceptance: what are they, what are the consequences of not having them, why are they missing, and how do we cultivate them? Intentionally building these pillars will absolutely change your life. I share my own journey from living as a deeply insecure young female to growing into a confident, radically self-loving, self-accepting woman - and how you can do the same!

The conversation you didn't know you needed to hear. In this special episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing my teacher and mentor Samten Kriya all about the what, why and how of Himalayan Kriya yoga.

I committed to a yoga teacher training with Samten with the desire to learn more from her and to gain the ability to share this life-changing energy healing modality within my own community, In this episode, Samten walks us through what HKY really is, where it came from, and why it's so powerful and necessary.

In this episode, Camille and I are back together again for round 2 - this time discussion all things love and relationships. We discuss what it means to enter into the world of "conscious dating" and seeking "conscious relationship", how our dating experience and single life has changed since we committed to our personal development journeys, hook-up culture, celibacy, self-worth, masculine/feminine energy, polarity and how to discover what you REALLY need in a partner and how to manifest them.Follow Camille on IG at @_camillelafranceFind me at @rileyannem or @rileymurthacoaching or check out my website for current programs and offering www.rileymurtha.com

Check it out!In Episode 18, we are exploring our parallel journeys from "party girl" to "life/wellness/mindset coach". Camille and I met in 2015 at the height of our party days working together at a bar on Davie Street in Vancouver, Canada. We became friends, fed off each other's destructive energy and were always trying one-up each other with our wild stories and reckless experiences. After I left the serving industry and stepped into the corporate world, life took us in our separate directions and we stayed connected, but never realized how similar we have grown to be until sitting down for this conversation. We reflect on why we partied, what we were running from, what our breaking points were, how we started to heal and where we are at today! Find me on IG at @rileyannem or at www.rileymurtha.com
