This is an Ask Me Anything with my producer and partner in crime, Bailey Richardson, wherein I'll be answering common questions we get from listeners like you. In this episode, we focus on two questions which ultimately center around practicing acceptance of reality and surrendering to what we cannot change in order to keep our peace and align with the larger plan guiding us towards the highest good.

First, we explore the question… How can I know if I'm practicing acceptance for what is or falling into spiritual bypass? I share a couple recent experiences with grief, loss, trauma, and my addiction recovery journey that have taught me how to hold space for myself and others to process difficult emotions, why it’s so important to do so without judgment, and the long-term negative effects of avoiding them.

We also dive into the question… How do you balance the understanding that we create our own reality with living a healthy life in this toxic world of EMFs, poisonous food, and poisonous products?

It’s an ongoing practice for me to recognize the harm being done in the world and collect tools for combating them while also acknowledging my mortality. I share what I use and do to protect myself from toxins and chemicals, but also talk about how I’ve balanced having awareness without falling into paranoia or a doom-and-gloom outlook.

In both scenarios, I share the tools, practices, places, and people that have helped me navigate these complex issues with the hope that my perspective provides some solace to you in your journey.
