Summary

I’ve been in a pendulum swing of suffering and joy lately—and as ever, I hope what I share is a popcorn trail through the dark for you. Because there’s always another side.

This episode is inspired by a poem from D.H. Lawrence that’s become a mantra for me: “Are you willing to be made nothing?” The Phoenix only renews when she’s burnt to flocculent ash. Immortal bird, anyone?

This is my unfiltered download on what it means to truly rise. I’m talking about sacred surrender, resilience as your true nature, why guilt is a pathway to innocence, and how even a day of crying in bed can be an act of devotion.

Plus, I riff on my philosopher boyfriends (Krishnamurti and Leonard Cohen) and my metaphysical bestie, Manly P. Hall.

This one’s personal and poetic—just how I like it.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

The Rituals Class – A free live class to help you choose—and stick to, better habits. Saturday, March 29 at 9am PT | 12pm ET.
How To Be Loving – For deeper teachings on Acceptance, Compassion + Soul Qualities

1:26.3	rituals that are a really big part of my life and my heart-centered membership, our heart-centered membership.
1:32.3	And then you'll leave with the point form version, because who's got time, of all the rituals?
1:39.5	And that is a lily pad into our membership where later in the month I'm going to unpack seven
