speaking and podcast guest

speaking

I speak on parenting as the curriculum — how the work of raising children becomes the very practice that shows you back to yourself. I was honored to join the spiritual panel at Mental Health Awareness Day in Palm Springs (2026), and I love bringing this conversation into rooms that don't usually make space for it.

podcast guest

I've sat on the other side of the mic too — talking about this work on the Family Sanity Podcast with Lisa Scimens, on Becoming Nobody with Alex Momolovic, and on Bounce Back Stronger with Donna Ferris.

On my own show, I get to do what I love most: sit down with people who've found their own way back to the sacred in ordinary life.

Guests have included Perdita Finn, Bryan Welch, Philip Carr-Gomm, Nina Rao, Dayna Macy — among others — in conversations about healing, remembering, and what it actually looks like to live awake.

Some of this work is better seen than just heard. My YouTube channel holds full podcast episodes, teaching clips, standalone teachings, and brief meditations — a place to sit in on a conversation, or just take five quiet minutes when you need them.
