ABOUT ME

Who is Spicy Soul Mama?

As a professional writer, facilitator, podcaster, and mindfulness guide, I am passionate about connecting with others through these forms of communication. As a deep thinker, I enjoy engaging with people from an authentic place to get to the heart space. Life can be filled with struggle, yet I have learned to show up as life is happening for me not TO me. Everyday is a choice to change, grow, and live life from a place of awareness and curiosity.

I started writing and publishing personal essays about 10 years ago and soon realized the power of sharing stories to connect with others in empathetic ways, dispel stigma, and increase awareness. Along the way, I discovered I loved supporting others in their mindfulness practice, self-discovery, and holding space to allow new ways of thinking and glimmers of healing to occur.

I have been on the self-discovery path for my whole life, exploring multiple modalities and teachers, using myself as the test pilot. While I hold a few certifications in the Enneagram and in Mindfulness and Mindfulness Mentoring, my exploration runs deep, blending Eastern and Western modalities in spiritual paths and therapies. My current role as a Course Host at The Shift Network continues to allow me to find continued pathways to consciousness.

At the root of every path I’ve inquired, the central themes remain - self compassion, surrendering, having trust, and remembering certainty.

I realized during the pandemic, when my recruiting contract in Silicon Valley would not be renewed, it was time to make a change and lean into the path of spirituality, healing, and writing.

Surrender, trust, and certainty all come with practice and self-examination leading to self-awareness, which is the greatest gift you can give to your family and community.

This is the crux of my work.

I’d love to connect and hear your story.
