The Empowered Curiosity Podcast

In a culture where the value of a woman decreases when she is no longer a Maiden, stepping into the role of a Matriarch is a rocky transition. We become malleable to absorb the pain of others. We lose ourselves to make others comfortable. We take up less and less space which means we...

We all have a body.

AND we all have a story about our body. 

In particular, We all grow up with a story about what we are allowed to do and not allowed to do with our bodies. 
And in turn, We all have a story about what other people should do or not do with their bodies. ...

We all say we want a healthy, secure, conscious romantic relationship without hesitation. But what that actually means and what it requires of you is a deeper and more nuanced conversation. So in this week’s episode, I step into that space with my dear colleague Katie...

Communication is a learned behaviour. No one comes into this life with the pre-downloaded software of “Mindful Communication” already installed. Rather, we come into this life with needs and as children, we do our best to have those needs met. Often, those strategies need...

It’s official, the doors to The Heart Lab are open for one last time in 2021. I could sit here and chatter at you about what it’s all about, but honestly, these two women say it better than I can. Because they’ve felt the transformations that happen when a community...

My bestie Christina Cecconi and I have been taking you on a journey this year to do a deep dive and explore the energetics of each of the Elements and Seasons. We are finishing the Five Elements Wisdom Series today.

In this week’s episode we are going to explore...

We are seeing ideological chasms being ripped through families, lifelong friendships and loved ones. Fingers being pointed rather than hands being extended. Words are being flung as bombs instead of being used for inquiry. If you’ve had a difficult, triggering conversation with...

My guest on this week’s episode is Andrew Kippen who is a Coach + Hypnotherapist who helps his clients launch their healing business to grow beyond being a side hustle into a successful career. The fundamentals of his work covers how to package, price, market and sell their gifts...

One of the core values of The Empowered Curiosity Community is sovereignty over our bodies. 

We cannot have body sovereignty without understanding what is actually going on with our bodies and I’ve been witnessing the non-consensual culture of how we recommend birth...

This week was really hard. 

I did a big, brave thing. (I bought a schoolbus to convert into a mini-home)

I made a big, hard mistake. (The schoolbus turned out to be a lemon and I lost $10,000)

And I learned some big, hard lessons. (Well, you’re just going to have to...

Even though I have been deeply entrenched in the study of connection - from both the scientific and spiritual perspective - for YEARS, I am constantly humbled by the new wisdom I continue to stumble upon when I have conversations with other humans who are doing parallel work.

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...
