The Empowered Curiosity Podcast

Intuition is a strangely illusive concept. 

We can all look back on our lives and see where we may have been pulled away from intuition, but we’re not always in tune with it at the moment. In today’s episode, Kendra Adachi and I will do a deep dive exploration into...

The one word I am going to spend my entire life trying to know and integrate is “Dao”. 

 I am obsessed with understanding Dao even though I know that the closer I get to it, the less I will know. This word is nearly un-nameable because it takes on a unique meaning for...

If you are on a journey to untangle from people-pleasing or perfectionist tendencies, you’re going to want to tune into this conversation with Courney Koester. 

This might be stating the obvious to define what “people pleasing” is but I think it’s...

I often get asked “How do I get over my stress/overwhelm/anxiety/depression?”

Folks are looking for me to tell them exactly which protocol or modality to help them get out of their funk. “Is cognitive behavioural therapy the answer?”

 “Should I try...

The inevitability of our human experience is that we will, at some point, lose sight of our purpose. When we are misaligned with purpose, we get pulled into the vortex of addictions, avoidant/anxious attachment strategies and generally feeling disempowered in our own lives. On the flip...

Did you know that 90-95% of our actions are driven from our subconscious programming? This is exaaaaactly why we tend to find ourselves in the same cycles over and over and over again - choosing the same archetype of a partner, finding yourself in the same rut of feeling devalued at work...

One of the most profound shifts I’ve made in my spiritual practice is understanding that it is a subtractive process, rather than an additive one. The simplest way to explain this is that you can approach spirituality thinking that you are not whole, needing to be fixed and grasping...

I am so excited to introduce my new friend Brian Donahoe to you. He and I will be doing an entire series diving into the different organ systems, how stress affects the different organ systems and what they are physiologically and emotionally holding onto so you can transform your...

I am someone who lives in the world of both/and. Meaning, I find deep value for the scientific research being done to explain the structure, functionality and physiology of our Bodies, BUT I believe we cannot take our finger off the pulse of the Spirit and Dao that courses through these...

Brittany Sharpe is a Vinyasa & Yin yoga teacher, Mama, DJ & Astrology practitioner. She currently resides on Salt Spring Island, BC with her family.  I got to see first hand how much care she takes in stewarding the land where she resides and caring for her farm animals. She...

A trauma-informed practitioner isn’t a magical unicorn. They’re someone who is so deeply committed to integration that they’ve put the work into themselves so they can model and lead other people into their shadows. 

This is exactly why when I met Patty, I knew I...

This month marks the 1 year anniversary of the collective shift of the global pandemic.
 For many of us, it has been an invitation to examine our relationship to the natural cycles of existence and how it feels to be confronted with literal death in the form of the coronavirus or...

As we transition into a new season, regular podcast guest Christina Cecconi joins me once again for a chat about the energetics of Spring and the Wood Element. 

We are inching closer to Spring Equinox and you’ve likely been feeling the stirrings within your own body and spirit....

You are catching me at the start of a transition. For the past 4 years I’ve been nesting with my romantic BFF Andre Lagace, but this week I’ll be packing up the Subaru and moving from Vancouver, BC down to Henderson, NV. 

Even before this move was on the horizon, Andre...

This episode is going to be valuable for you if you were not exposed to healthy modeling of how to work through challenges in relationships. The thing is that our parents were trying their best with the tools that they had. Many of us had parents that didn’t have very good...

One of the pillars of our conversations in this community is Embodiment Medicine.  I wanted to have an entire episode about what this actually means. 

When I thought about who I wanted to have on as a guest for this topic, there was only one name that came to mind: Mara...

This week, I’m showing you my tender bits. I tried to interview my boyfriend Shawn but in reality what ended up happening is that we just had a conversation. A conversation that feels deeply personal to me because in it, we reflected on a lot of what we’ve been challenged by...

I’ve said over and over again that there’s something magical that happens when a community of aligned women come together. Gathering in Circles is something that our feminine ancestors knew how to do, but in our modern world, these opportunities to gather and truly open up and...

One of my favourite humans to follow on Insta is my dear friend Jessica Benstock. Not just because she is my buddy, but because she has a way of looking at assumed notions and flipping them  upside down to look at them from multiple perspectives.

Currently, the conversation about...

This conversation with Holly Toronto felt so clarifying. While speaking with her, I felt like my soul was distilling down and discerning my swirling thoughts about the fractured relationship we have with our body image and how we move and nourish ourselves. 

This is the time of year...

This is the very first episode of 2021 and I wanted to start out with a little somethin' special for you. We start this episode with a realignment. I share a bit of my story so you can see WHY I am so passionate about conscious relationships, emotional alchemy and embodiment...

I spent the majority of my life doing all the things, forcing things to happen, running to and running away from all the things before I discovered that there is another way. No wonder I was burnt out. I had completely lost sight of who I was and what I wanted.

Christina Cecconi is...

This is not your everyday conversation about intimacy. 
So cozy up, brew some tea and join us with your journal. 

I, like many, grew up in a household where mixed messages were sent about intimacy. Love felt like it needed to be earned. Showing up as myself felt like I would be too much...
