Trusting yourself to show up

Trusting ourselves and our unique path isn’t always easy. It requires courage, presence, and the willingness to embrace uncertainty.

In this episode of Embodied, I sit down with my good friend and colleague Nikki Martin, a novelist, screenwriter, speaker, yoga teacher trainer, and DEI consultant, to explore the pull of destiny, the complexities of identity, and the shadow side of spiritual growth.

💡 In this hour-long conversation, we explore:

✨ Destiny isn’t about ease—it requires commitment, resilience, and self-discovery.
✨ Loss can be a portal to deeper trust in life.
✨ Spirituality should be about action, not just self-reflection.
✨ Speaking our truth has the power to shape our reality.
✨ Community is essential—we are meant to grow together.

The journey of self-discovery

From a young age, Nikki felt a deep pull toward something bigger...

The first time I met Dr. Kendall Houghton, we were sitting at a dinner table in Ojai, California. As we talked, she casually mentioned three things every woman should know about money—and suddenly, the entire table leaned in. It was as if she had tapped into an unspoken truth, a conversation we all craved but rarely had.

In this episode of Embodied, I spoke with Kendall—an economist, researcher, and financial guide whose work focuses on expansive interdependence and joyful creation. Together, we explored the emotional and spiritual dimensions of money, the way financial awareness can be a form of shadow work, and why it’s so important for women to claim their financial desires.

Kendall brings a fresh and deeply human perspective to economics. She believes money isn’t just about numbers and transactions—it’s about energy, mutual care, and the way we choose to participate in the world. Our conversation left me seeing money in a whole new way.

How our relationship with money sha...

How do you trust life when it takes you in unexpected directions? In this episode of Embodied, I sit down with Nick Matheson, leadership coach and business strategist, to explore how we can find clarity, strength, and growth in life’s most challenging moments.

Nick’s story is one of transformation. He began his career in healthcare, focusing on pain management, but personal challenges—including his daughter’s serious illness and his cancer diagnosis—led him to rethink his life and priorities. Now, as a leadership coach, he helps others align with their values and create lives they love.

In our hour-and-forty-five-minute conversation, we discuss:

• Letting go of control: How Nick learned to release rigid ideas of success and embrace life’s twists and turns.
• Turning challenges into growth: Why difficult times can lead to powerful personal breakthroughs.
• The strength in vulnerability: How being open and honest about struggles can deepen connections and foster growth.
• Finding ...

I have been thinking a lot lately about how when I am fully present to myself, I naturally am an embodied leader, whether I am meditating, or spending time with my family, or teaching in front of a group.

Being an embodied leader means, first and foremost, that we lead ourselves through the process of self-exploration, self-healing, soul-love, and soul-realization. You inspire others much more when you have done your own personal work ; )

Comparing a disembodied leader and an embodied leader

Disembodied leaders lead from a place of fear and fragmented self, hungry for validation, and projecting the divisions they carry inside. Disembodied leaders find short-term success by creating resonance with the fears of their followers.

However, because this goes against the natural impulse of life, it will eventually retreat in the face of the human impetus toward expansion and growth. Because we all come to a place of self-reliance and self-love, whether it happens during our lifetime or at...
