Sometimes the main force getting in the way of your progress is YOU. Many times we block ourselves mentally from believing that we can achieve the things we desire. It's important to take the time to sit back and ask yourself where these self limiting thoughts and behaviors are coming from.

Setting boundaries can definitely be a touchy subject. If you're anything like me you sometimes avoid setting boundaries with those around you due to feelings of guilt. In this episode I discuss how to transmute those feelings and set healthy boundaries.

In today's episode I am joined by Sara Cardinale, creator of Bloom and Manifest. Her brand is a spiritual blog where she helps empaths and spiritual seekers find their power and walk in their truth. Spirituality is not one size fits all. It looks and feels different for each and every one of us and our unique paths. In this conversation Sara gives some powerful tools to step into your power and protect your energy. You can tap in with Bloom and Manifest on Instagram @bloomandmanifest.

Living in a society where “more is more” we are constantly dwelling on what's missing, what we don't have, or what's next. Sometimes we forget to be grateful for what we have in this very moment. The more we express gratitude, the more abundance we allow to flow into our lives. It's the little things. The breath in our lungs, the sun shining above us, and the ground beneath our feet. We may not always have what we want but we always have what we need. This episode covers the power of gratitude and a few simple ways to practice it daily.

Birthdays and growing older really gets a bad reputation. When we're kids birthdays are exciting and we take each new age on with pride. That seems to slow down as we get older and we desperately try to hold on to our younger years. In reality, growing older is a huge blessing. Each year is another opportunity to grow and create the life you want. Like the late great Nipsey Hussle said “Every 12 months you live another year you ball”. This episode is a reflection on everything I've learned and experienced up until this point, and how it's shaped the woman I am today.

A question I've been faced with a lot lately is “When did you stop trusting yourself?”. As crazy as it may sound, many people including myself struggle with fearlessly trusting their intuition. We are quick to give our decision making power over to the next person, or a google search, or any other outside source. Anything to take the responsibility off of our shoulders. What we fail to realize is that with that responsibility comes tremendous power...power to create your reality and be a true alchemist of your life. I believe that there's no better time than now for us as a collective to take steps toward silencing that inner critic, and amplifying our intuition, trusting that it will never steer your wrong.

“We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains” -Assata Shakur. Having a sense of community is something that has been lost in our individualistic society. A'Kia and Alex Walker are great examples of community leaders and mentors that use their knowledge and experience to inspire others. Through their fitness endeavor Power Belly Fitness and community program Stanco Youth Empowerment Program they provide education and resources to aid in empowering the people. Being the light to lead the way for those coming after you is what the world needs more of, and it starts in the community. It truly does take a village!

“The highest human act is to inspire” - Nipsey Hussle. Health and wellness is something that is often made to be over complicated and even intimidating to dive into. In reality, it all becomes so simple when you bring it back to the source. That's exactly what my special guest today advocates for. Ashley Lucas is a holistic health advocate who drops all the gems when it comes to holistic health knowledge and products based on her experience. Her goal is to inspire others to create a healthy connection between mind, body, and spirit through what we consume. Our bodies are temples so let's start treating them as such!

Living in a fast paced, on the go type of society, we naturally tend to fill ourselves up with the quick fixes, and things that bring instant gratification. But are these things bringing us true happiness? Or are we just filling voids? Here's my take on the difference between pleasure & happiness, and the importance of separating the two.

“Death and Life are in the power of the tongue” - Proverbs 18:21. Being mindful and disciplined with the words you speak over your life is something we can all pay more attention to. When it comes to universal law, you get back what you put out. The words, thoughts, and energy you express on a daily basis have the power to create your reality. As cliche as it sounds, changing your mindset can truly change your life.

My very special guest today is my older brother Lance Castaneda. He is not only my brother, but he's also a certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, business owner, alchemist, & much more!

Alignment (noun): the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other. •If you own a vehicle, you know that having your tires in alignment is necessary to keep you on a smooth, straight path to your destination. The same idea goes for yourself. When we make choices to move in alignment, we are putting ourselves on the quickest, most painless, most graceful track to our goals. With that being said, the popular “hustle” mentality has many of us moving out of alignment, adding unnecessary detours & road blocks to our path.

On today's episode of the podcast I am joined by my best friend/soul sister Melina Bobadilla as we unpack goal setting & reflect on all things 2020. Although the year is ending, the lessons are eternal. How do you respond when life throws you a curveball? Do you adjust or do you fold?

As the seasons change, your mental state can tend to follow suit. Checking in with yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally is vital during these times (and all the time). In this episode I'm joined by one of my long time friends, Michelle Bibbs, as we speak about our own experience with mental health and give a couple tips for self care along the way. As always, thank you for tapping in and always remember....Self care ain't selfish!

Fear (noun): An unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger. • Have you ever let fear get in the way of you and your goals? I think it's something we're all guilty of. Here I talk a little bit about using that strong emotion of fear to your own benefit. Turning your fear into fuel can light up your life in ways you couldn't even imagine!
