Selfistry

I am so happy to share my recent conversation with my mentor and dear friend Debbie Rosas, the co-founder of Nia.

In this episode we explore how the body and life are not obstacles to awakening, but profound gateways to becoming an empowered, evolving spiritual being.

Together, we dive into what it truly means to live in alignment with the feminine and masculine energies of today’s world. Beyond outdated definitions, toward a new, integrated vision of wholeness. We reflect on what it means to be a woman in this time: not just empowered, but fluid, receptive, and fierce in her devotion to change, to embodiment, and to co-creating a world rooted in presence and possibility.

I share some nuggets of wisdom from nearly a decade in solo retreat—not in a monastery, but through embodied, everyday inquiry. My journey reminds us that evolution isn’t about escape or perfection—it’s about meeting ourselves exactly as we are and choosing to grow with grace. My mind/body became my teacher, my temple, and my map for navigating the spiritual terrain of being human.

In this soul-stirring conversation, we talk about:

Embodied spirituality as a way of life

Embracing the dance of feminine and masculine within us all

The sacredness of relationships and our evolving roles

Radical self-acceptance and the power of not knowing

Creating a new empowered version of "self" to meet the challenges of our time

This episode is a call to presence. To live and lead from wholeness. To honor change as sacred. And to courageously step into a new way of being—one that makes the world better through the integrity of our embodiment and the curiosity of our becoming.
