While some episodes feature expert guests from both the spiritual and wine worlds, most will be solo episodes, where I’ll share my personal insights, tools, and stories to help you grow and evolve on your own journey.

When Growth Becomes a Performance: You Don’t Have to Heal on Display
Somewhere along the way, growth got marketed like a lifestyle brand.
If you're not posting your latest breakthrough, journaling five pages before sunrise, meditating with crystals, or sipping mushroom tea under a full moon… are you even growing?
And when you're not doing all those things? It’s easy to feel like you’re failing. Like you're "behind" or "doing it wrong."
But here’s the truth most people won’t say out loud:
Some of the deepest growth looks like finally resting without guilt.
Saying "I don't know" without shame.
Letting yourself simply exist without needing to fix, improve, or perform.
You don't need a highlight reel to prove you're healing.
Real transformation isn’t loud—it’s honest. And sometimes, it’s invisible to everyone but you.
That’s why we’re sipping on Aligoté this episode—a crisp, soulful varietal often overshadowed by flashier wines. It doesn’t need to steal the spotlight to be worth savoring. Just like real growth—it’s not here to impress; it’s here to be real.
This beautiful wine pick was requested by one of my dearest friends, Kayla Koep (thank you, Blinkie!), and it's the perfect pour for today’s conversation.
