Our latest episode on the Highest Self Podcast is an absolute gem, and I can't wait to share the wisdom and the laughs that unfolded during this soulful conversation with my bestie and monthly guest, Rosie Acosta.   In relationships, friendships, and even with family, our willingness to engage in these difficult conversations is deeply connected to our overall quality of life.    Rosie and I unravel: That unsexy, challenging moments contribute to the depth and beauty of the overall relationship experience. The significance of feeling safe and open in relationships and friendships. Personal icks,deal breakers, and red flags in relationships, from the seemingly trivial to fundamental aspects of how we treat others. Breaking old patterns, and fostering crystal-clear communication. Reflecting on how cultural differences can influence communication styles.   In the grand scheme of things, Rosie and I believe that how we handle tough conversations in relationships mirrors how we approach everything else in life. It's about finding your voice, breaking old patterns, and fostering crystal-clear communication for a truly harmonious connection.   Connect with Rosie Acosta on Instagram Here   Try Dipsea and get your first 30 day trial full access/free at https://dipseastories.com/SAHARA   Discover your unique coaching style by taking this free quiz! https://quiz.highestselfinstitute.com/    Interested in Bon Charge?

In this episode we discuss various topics including tantra, spiritual bypass, self-love, and the importance of mentors. Katie also guides a meditation practice. The conversation emphasizes the need for honesty, truth, and compassion in our spiritual journeys.We Talk About:Tantra teaches that the very thing we want to avoid or run away from is often the key to our growth and healing.Spiritual bypassing is the repression of difficult emotions and the tendency to intellectualize or spiritualize our experiences instead of fully feeling them.Self-love is a journey that requires honesty, openness, and the ability to hold space for our own pain and imperfections.Having a mentor or teacher who can mirror our strengths and weaknesses with compassion and wisdom is a powerful form of radical love.Episode Highlights:00:00 Introduction and Book Discussion08:22 Exploring Tantra16:06 Understanding Spiritual Bypass23:24 Guided Meditation32:50 Radical Love and MentorsResources:Katie Silcox, M.A. is the New York Times Best-Selling author of the book Healthy, Happy, Sexy - Ayurveda Wisdom for Modern Women and the upcoming new book - Glow-Worthy.

I've realized that life is a continuum and we are never truly “on the other side” living our happily ever after. There will always be a constant becoming and unbecoming happening simultaneously. The moment you achieve a desire, a new desire is born.    Life is truly about honoring your desires and seeing them as sacred. Because it is in the journey of pursuing what you want that you discover your dharma, your soul's purpose. And by doing so you remind others that they too can step into their own calling.    I am back again with my bestie, Rosie Acosta, for our monthly Highest Self Podcast episode to dive into what it means to be in that “in-between” era and how to pivot from a place of ease and peace.    In this week's episode, Rosie and I talk about… Transitions that we have both struggled with and worked through How to know when you're IN the in-between Different types of transitions you may have experienced or will experience Why humans dislike uncertainty  How to release expectations about the future The power of honoring your desires What the entrepreneurial path looks like Overcoming imposter syndrome and how to believe in your abilities Releasing expectations around relationships Why most people aren't living to their fullest potential And so so much more!   I hope this episode is the permission slip you need to welcome your next transition period with open arms. Life is filled with unknowns and that is what makes it both beautiful and challenging – both of which are things you need in order to transform into your Highest Self.   Connect with Rosie on Instagram here   Stream my new song "Trust Flow" on Spotify, Apple Music + iTunes here!

When was the last time you felt truly seen, flaws and all, without pretending or minimizing yourself? For many, those moments of radical self-acceptance are rare. Today we're sharing stories from three inspiring women - author Alex Elle, teacher Rosie Acosta, and poet Arielle Estoria - who have uncovered their truest selves after shedding layers of conditioning. Their profoundly personal journeys offer wisdom for us all. We explored what it takes to embrace who you are, not who you "should" be, and how sharing your unique light can help you find belonging. Their stories and words are infused with empathy, compassion, and generosity of spirit. My hope is this episode will spark self-reflection and help you reconnect with your authentic voice. Because when we can be radically seen and loved fully - that's when we glimpse our highest potential.Episode TranscriptYou can find Alex at: Website | Instagram | Listen to Our Full-Length Convo with AlexYou can find Rosie at: Website | Instagram | Listen to Our Full-Length Convo with RosieYou can find Arielle at: Website | Instagram | Listen to Our Full-Length Convo with ArielleCheck out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKED.

Relationships are having a massive renaissance right now (helloooo break-up/ divorce season!)    So with this time, it's an opportunity to ask ourselves - who do we desire to become on the other side of this portal?   The answer is: your ✨dream girl.✨    Which isn't the picture-perfect trophy girl in society's standards. But knowing what your version of the dream girl is, based on your values, desires, and vision.    And this is exactly what we dive into in this week's Highest Self Podcast episode with my bestie Rosie Acosta.   Some key moments from this dream girl episode are… What we used to think being a dream girl was based on pop culture and history growing up Our experiences growing up dealing with expectations and judgment as women Common attributes and characteristics of a dream girl Why being a dream girl has felt unattainable  Rebellion against being a dream girl How to flip the script on being a dream girl and turn it into a source of empowerment Being both feminine and a feminist  Being a dream girl both in a relationship and not in a relationship The power of taking time to get ready and look/feel good each day Polarity in relationships Not being afraid to be over the top and stand out And SOUL much more!   This episode is all about reflection and finding the gems that stand out to YOU.    Connect with Rosie on Instagram here   Use code SAHARA for 20% off all Sahajan skincare products at https://www.sahajan.com/collections/all-products   Ready to integrate your full multidimensional self into a thriving career as a Soul Purpose + Spiritual Life Coach?

This week on Highest Self Podcast I am back once again with my bestie, Rosie, to dive into how to transform from being a people pleaser to being a bad bitch with crystal clear boundaries. We are both sharing all about our own journeys and pulling back the curtains on what this evolution looks like.    This episode is all about… Signs that you are a people pleaser and why you might not realize it How to go from people pleaser → bad bitch How to give from your heart and not from wanting to be liked Different ways people pleasing shows up in different relationships Paying attention to your energy when giving/receiving Discernment when saying yes The ultimate fear of a people pleaser The power of reciprocal relationships, acknowledgment, and properly holding space What it truly means to be a “bad bitch” And so so much more!   In your trauma also lies your gifts – so being a people pleaser and being able to see things from a higher perspective and solve everyone's problems lies many skills that are powerful tools for you to use to your advantage. Now you just need to navigate the balancing act of being there for those you love while simultaneously fully showing up for yourself and honoring + creating boundaries that empower you.    Connect with Rosie on Instagram here   Use code SAHARA for 20% off all Sahajan skincare products at https://www.sahajan.com/collections/all-products    Learn how to Speak With Soul and share your message in my 21 day guided journey!

This week on Highest Self Podcast I am back again with my bestie, Rosie Acosta to deep dive on what it truly means to be magnetic. Magnetism is a word thrown around a lot in the spiritual world so we wanted to really dig in and define it in our own ways as well as universal ways.    In this episode Rosie and I will be sharing about…  Our own experiences with magnetism and what we have noticed within ourselves and other people What creates attraction in dating and relationships How your dharma (purpose) creates magnetism Connecting with your sacred feminine + masculine energies Not needing someone to complete you and how to create more self-love The power and subtleties of confidence  The art of giving less of a fuck about what others think Questioning your beliefs around what makes you worthy Why you should prioritize having fun/play  And MORE!    Stepping into your magnetism can create a beautiful chain reaction that inspires others to step into their own magnetic energy. The more we are bringing our gifts and confidence online, the more we cultivate this energy across the collective and raise the vibration of the planet.    I hope this episode reminds you of your innate power to be magical and magnetic af. Because when you are embracing this ability, the world around you shifts and life begins to align with all of your manifestations and desires.    Connect with Rosie on Instagram here   Learn how to Speak With Soul and share your message in my 21 day guided journey!

This week on Highest Self Podcast I am back again with my bestie, Rosie Acosta (we just did an epic episode all about the science of attraction last month!) to dive into WHAT we both would have done differently on our spiritual journeys. We are sharing ALL the greatest downloads and realizations we have accumulated over the years, and I'll be curious how many of you feel similarly about the different topics we dive into in this episode. Rosie and I are always doing micro-podcasts in our day-to-day convos so it only feels right to share some of the wisdom with YOU!    Rosie and I love to take big concepts and apply them to our lives with the intention of how they can make us better humans and have more of the things that we desire and that's exactly what this episode is all about! We dive into spiritual bypass, shadow work, lessons of ayahuasca/plant medicine, controlling your internal environment, resistance being your biggest teacher, surrender/non-attachment, the power of discernment on your spiritual path, and so so much more!    Whether you're just beginning your spiritual journey or you've been in it for a while, this episode will leave you with lots of juicy downloads and inspo to integrate into your life/spiritual practices.
