• Excavate, Expand, and Elevate with Rolfing
    Mar 26 2025

    Exploring the Practice of Rolfing with Moylan Ryan

    What if the way you move—how you stand, walk, and even breathe—could unlock a deeper sense of freedom and alignment? Rolfing, a powerful form of structural integration, offers a profound way to release tension, improve posture, and reshape both body and mind. More than just a physical adjustment, it is a process of unraveling old patterns, restoring balance, and reconnecting with your authentic self. By working with the body's fascial system, Rolfing helps break free from restrictive habits, allowing for greater ease, fluidity, and presence in everyday life. It’s not just about movement—it’s about transformation from the inside out.

    In this episode, we talk about the somatic practice of rolfing with a special guest, Moylan Ryan. Moylan is originally from Ireland, where he trained as a somatic psychotherapist, but eventually relocated to the US nearly 21 years ago to study at Dr Ralph Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Moylan recognizes Rolfing's structural integration as a profound means of bringing deep change to one's psychology, a reshaping of both neural and fascial plasticity. Moylan has a private practice as a somatic therapist in Tempe, Arizona, where he offers all things structural integration, neurodynamic breathwork, and movement education as integral parts of his healing process. Moylan is currently completing his book, Living Aligned, a compilation of over 40 years of experience exploring the landscape of both the inner and outward world.

  • Self-Sabotage: Learn to Stop Standing in Your Own Way
    Mar 19 2025

    Self-Sabotage: Time to Stop Standing in Your Own Way

    Have you ever felt like you're on the brink of success, only to find yourself pulling back, procrastinating, or making excuses at the last moment? It’s as if an invisible force is keeping you stuck, preventing you from reaching your full potential. That force is often self-sabotage—a silent, internal battle where fear, doubt, and limiting beliefs work against your best intentions. It can disguise itself as perfectionism, productivity, avoidance, or even self-doubt, making it difficult to recognize. The good news? These patterns aren’t set in stone. By becoming aware of how self-sabotage operates, you can break free from its grip, rewire your mindset, and start moving forward with confidence.

    In this episode, we talk about the art of self-sabotage, how we get into our way knowingly or subconsciously, and—most importantly—how to break free from self-sabotage with our hero and mindset coach, Katie Wee. Katie is a mindset coach, keynote speaker, actress, survivor, writer, and the founder of Happy Camp. Katie has appeared on TV shows such as Modern Family, Hawaii Five-0, New Girl, and General Hospital, and her writing has been featured on Newsweek and The Huffington Post. At Happy Camp, she teaches others how to love themselves on the deepest level and use manifestation to create what they want in their lives, all while blissing out in paradise.

  • Rest, Retreat, and the Power of 'Wintering'
    Feb 19 2025

    Have you ever experienced a 'wintering' season? Learn more about how this practice of intentional rest and retreat can transform you and your perspective on life's many experiences from the inside out.

    In a world that glorifies constant productivity, slowing down can feel uncomfortable—even guilt-inducing. Yet, just as nature embraces winter as a time of retreat and renewal, we, too, need seasons of rest to restore our energy and realign with what truly matters. Wintering is not about failure or stagnation; it is an essential pause that allows for healing, reflection, and growth. When we honor these quieter moments, we give ourselves the space to reset, gain clarity, and emerge stronger. Learning to rest is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of wisdom, a conscious decision to nurture the mind, body, and spirit in preparation for the seasons ahead.

    In this episode, we talk about wintering—how to embrace time of rest and retreat so you can re-emerge a more attuned version of yourself with our energy-healing heroe, Katherine MacLane. Katherine is recognized as a standout authority in energy coaching, healing, and mindset transformation, with over two decades of experience.

  • Forgiveness is Part of the Healing Journey
    Feb 12 2025

    Forgiveness is an essential part of the healing journey, not because it erases the past but because it frees us from being trapped in it. True healing isn’t about forgetting what happened or pretending pain never existed—it’s about acknowledging the hurt while choosing to move forward with strength and grace. Forgiveness, whether for ourselves or others, allows us to release the weight of resentment and step into a life filled with more peace, joy, and emotional freedom. It is an act of courage, a gift we give not only to those who have wronged us but to ourselves, creating space for growth, love, and new beginnings.

    In this episode, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others—and how it shapes long-term happiness and joy with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Rev. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 90K followers.

    As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

    • [26:01] Why seeking forgiveness doesn’t invalidate pain or wrong experienced
    • [27:50] Healing from past wounds without forgiveness
    • [31:24] The role of lament and repentance in the forgiveness process

    • “Saying I’m sorry is the first step, and then how can I help?” [18:47]

    • “Healing is essential, but it’s not linear, and it’s not about restoration to a mythic perfect state.” [44:51]
    • “Boundaries are critically important, and so is accountability and responsibility when you make a mistake.” [59:21]

  • How Spirit Helps Us Understand Our Tendencies & Behaviors
    Feb 5 2025

    Have you ever felt an unexplainable pull toward certain choices or a deep inner knowing that defies logic? Our lives are constantly shaped by unseen forces, gently nudging us toward growth, self-awarenaess, and transformation. Spirit speaks in whispers through intuition and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. By recognizing our tendencies, we gain the power to refine them, breaking free from cycles that no longer serve us and embracing the wisdom that guides us forward. The journey of navigating spirit is not about control but about learning to listen, trust, and align with the deeper rhythm of life.

    In this episode, we talk about lessons that spirit can teach us about ourselves and make us aware of our natural tendencies with Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium offering mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.


    Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lea hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.
