Currently, I’m going through a major transition in life. My old world is in the process of dissolving and completing, while simultaneously birthing the new one. In this phase of in-between, we are still with one foot in the old world that no longer fits, and one foot in the new world and the future. The experience is uncomfortable and awkward, but it is one that all of us have to go through multiple times during our lifetime.  So in this episode, I’m going to unpack a little this state of...

I’m delighted to welcome Mark Groves, a Human Connection Specialist, founder of Create the Love, host of the Mark Groves Podcast, and co-author of Liberated Love onto the show. Mark's work bridges the academic and the human, inviting people to explore the good, the bad, the downright ugly, and the beautiful sides of connection. In this episode, Mark shares his journey of maturation that led him and his wife to co-author a wonderful book that I read in one take. We discuss emotional...

The quality of communication is a fundamentally important piece to having nourishing, safe, conscious and present relationships. Whether that is in love, in friendships, with family members, co-workers or teachers, the quality of our relationships is what brings us the most fulfilment in life. But why is it that we struggle so much with relationships? And why is communication the number one problem in failing relationships, a piece that breaks down trust, intimacy and connection?  Let's...

I cannot tell you how many people say to me:  “I'm ready for divine love. Why do I keep ending up in relationships that are disappointing, with people who betray me, are narcissists, don't see me, where I feel unloved and unwanted? Why do I keep repeating the same old stuff no matter what I do, when I'm so ready for my divine love?” And my answer to that declaration is, are you REALLY ready? In this episode, we’re going to dive into the source of patterns that keep repeating in our...

Today, I’m going to share with you all about my journey with my body transformation. Since October last year to today, I have lost almost 40 pounds, and I am only 5’3”, so that’s a lot of weight that I was carrying as a very small Asian woman.  Although I have worked really intentionally to get here, I’ve hesitated to share this story. One of the reasons is because I don't want to feed any part of the human psyche that obsesses with external perfection, believing that if we achieve it, then...

The level of chaos on our planet right now is extreme. There are intense levels of chaos happening between countries, between political parties, between religions, between parents and their children. And let's not forget the chaos that is happening inside our own selves.  So chaos is very prevalent, but is somehow eradicating it from our lives the only way we can have peace? Or if we are addicted to chaos, can we feel alive at all without it? In this episode, I want to talk about how we can...

Today, we’re going to dive into identity politics. And if you are in the US, you cannot deny that it is happening everywhere in the political landscape. But what I want to do is blow up that whole system altogether and look at what's keeping us trapped in the same familiar form of suffering no matter what side we choose. Currently on our planet, the different worldviews that we identify with are so rampant in the battles we are fighting against each other. In fact, we are currently in a war...

When we are experiencing challenges in our lives, whether it’s with health, or relationships, or just what is true for us, one thing to consider is asking ourselves where we can be responsible. When we are stuck in pain and suffering, are we blaming someone else for our experience, or are we ready to learn and grow and mature from it? Because the hard part to understand is that we actually get to choose how our reality appears to us. In this episode, we’re going to first dive into this...

Whether they are running their own business or working in a company, one of the hardest pieces that I see people struggling with is their relationship to their work.  So, we either love our job, but we burn out doing it. Or we feel pressured in it - we love it, but it also makes us feel trapped. Or we work in jobs where we feel unfulfilled, or we find ourselves repeating the same patterns in jobs, no matter how many times we change jobs or change industries, or change our behaviours when it...

Today I have one of my favourite humans, and by far one of the most creative people I’ve ever met on the podcast. Nicholas Onken is known as the photographer of some of the world's most highly acclaimed entrepreneurs like Jay Shetty, Lewis Howes, Gabby Bernstein and more. Nick is a Creative Alchemist whose professional and commercial repertoire has no template or limits. His portfolio of photographed personalities includes Justin Bieber, Usher, Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba, and Tony Robbins, to...

If you've been in the world of self-development or if you're new to it, you would have heard the term boundaries, and why they are important.  But today I want to take the conversation around boundaries a little deeper. I want to create a distinction of what boundaries actually are, what happens when we set them, where we start with setting them, what happens when we don’t set them, and why they are a true act of love and a gateway to compassion.  What is Covered:  -What boundaries are and...

Surrender and let go - that’s what we hear all the time nowadays. But how do we fully surrender? What does it even mean to surrender? And why is that such a profound and important piece of our ability to outgrow, mature and heal? I feel like my whole life and my personal journey of maturation has been dedicated to asking this question, how to surrender. I even wrote a book about this subject. So in this episode, I’m going to dive deep into the topic of surrendering, why it is important and...

If you feel like you're too fat, too skinny, too dumb, too smart, whatever it is, do you notice that there is always the other that is the right one? Or when you're clinging on to your reality and your perception being the right way, that there is always ‘the other’ that is the wrong way? This episode focuses on the mentality of ‘the other, and the right and wrong mentality which is inherent on our planet. This mentality causes enormous pain in relationships, in families, between friends,...

She is the author of The Missing Element: Inspiring Compassion for the Human Condition (Findhorn Press),...

Today's episode is about the distinction between fantasy and creation. We will dive into what fantasy is so that we can start to see it with new awareness, because awareness is what heals and allows the process of maturation to take place.  Fantasy feeds from the human condition. The current paradigm in the world that we're in also feeds our fantasy in a continuous vicious cycle. Part of what is keeping us all stuck in a state of suffering is that hopefulness of fantasy, that one day when...

Are you one of those people that has watched yourself sabotage something that you know you want, and yet something in you is blocking it or even actively pushing it away? Why is it that when you finally receive the love, the nourishment, the care, the fulfilment, the success, the money, the attention, the connection that you want, having it is so threatening that before you know it, you're finding whatever way you can find to get rid of it? It doesn't make any logical sense to reject a...

I'm sure that this is not the first time you are hearing the word vulnerability. But most of the time, I don't think many of us know what it even really means, and how powerful and sacred vulnerability is.  Vulnerability is not just an emotion or a state of being, it is actually a gateway, a doorway into being able to connect with each other deeper. It is a space within the heart, within the space of consciousness and truth of human beings that allows us to connect universally with each...

This week’s topic is not an easy one. First, because it’s a significant blindspot to how we experience reality itself, how we experience ourselves and each other. And second, because it’s the root to some of our greatest attachments in survival, so it may bring up a lot of activation for you.  So we’re talking about the greatest human addiction of all - the human story. We human beings are storytelling animals, and the mind itself is a storytelling mechanism. These stories not only define...

This week, I want to dive deeper into blindspots and explore how blindspots actually blind us. I’ll talk about how blindspots work and how they colour the appearing reality that we get. And then I’ll discuss why that is such a significant dilemma to the human species, and why we are stuck in our blindspots.  In previous episodes, I talked about what blinspots are - a way of seeing or a context from where we are seeing, that colours how we see and that we don't even know that we don't know...

This week's topic is on curiosity, which I believe is the cure to fear. But we cannot talk about curiosity without first speaking about fear. Fear is the number one piece that keeps us human beings stuck in survival. It’s the catalyst, the food to our survival mechanisms, and the suffering at the root of the human condition. Fear is like addiction. Survival cannot survive without fear. It is the human experience that keeps people from really living their life. So how do we go beyond fear,...

Stay tuned to get all the information!  Today, I am speaking about living and creating in flow. Flow is a big topic nowadays, but it’s often presented as something that we can get outside of ourselves. In fact, flow is a state of being, and a paradigm from which we are coming from and creating from. It's not...

This week we’re diving into emotional bleeding or emotional dumping versus emotional maturity, and the distinction between the two.  Emotional bleeding or dumping is rampant, if not even supported, and sometimes even celebrated in our society and social media culture today. We live in a  public culture where there’s an opportunity to instantly be exposed and expressed. We are teaching the younger generations that being an emotional bleeder with no boundaries, no center, no ability to hold...
