    Every once in a while, you come across someone whose very presence seems to ripple with something different. Someone who, from an early age, realized they could access realms & wisdom that others simply couldn’t see. My guest today is just such a soul, a spiritual healer, mystic mentor, & oracle whose work blends constellation therapy, kundalini yoga, & a tapestry of other healing modalities.

    Her journey began in childhood, when she innocently shared with her brother that, at night, she would leave her body & fly through the world as she slept, and invited him to join her. But instead of excitement, he bolted straight to their parents, utterly freaked out. It was in that moment she realized: not everyone was experiencing what, up until then, she believed was simply a part of being alive.

    From that day forward, she devoted herself to exploring these gifts, embarking on her own hero’s journey, traveling into the unknown, & dedicating her life to the mysteries that called her. Over the years, she has honed her craft & become a trusted guide for hundreds, helping others break free from the chains that held them back & awaken to the deepest potential within themselves.

    Every now & then, I get the absolute privilege of sharing space with someone who not only lives & breathes the work, but redefines what it means to be a guide, a coach, & a true steward of transformation. My guest today is just that, a powerhouse who’s been on the frontlines of the coaching world for over 20 years, & who has spent the last decade diving deep into the mysteries & magic of the plant medicine space.

    She’s trained with some of the world’s leading institutions, studied under renowned shamans, & worked alongside the pioneers who are shaping the next wave of healing. And, as my partner in the Coach With Cannabis program, I can honestly say her wisdom, depth, & devotion to this work is something truly rare.

    But today’s conversation is extra special, because we’re diving into her latest creation, a program that I’m honored to be teaching in as well, called The Healers Ways. Whether you’re called to guide with plant medicine, explore herbology & nutritional healing, master the art of energy work & reiki, discover the power of sound & frequency, or deepen your understanding of ritual, ceremony, & truly holding space… this program covers it all. And if you’ve felt the call to step into the psychedelic space as a guide, coach, or facilitator, trust me, this is not an episode you’ll want to miss.

  • Ep. 138: “Leaving the System, Finding the Self: A Journey of Faith, Freedom & Fierceness” (feat. Jen Kalawur)
    Jun 20 2025

    Some people are born into systems that try to tell them who to be. What to believe. How to behave. And for many, those voices become so loud, they drown out the whispers of the soul.

    But for today’s guest, those whispers never stopped.

    She grew up in a world of strict rules, religious dogma, and a strained relationship with God—where anything outside the approved mold was viewed as dangerous. Rebellious. Wrong.

    But everything began to shift when she entered public school—and to her surprise, the very people she’d been warned about… the smokers, the misfits, the wild thinkers… were the ones who felt most like home.

    From that moment forward, she followed her heart—not the script.
    Yoga. Astrology. Energy work. Depth. Truth.
    And eventually, the leap: leaving behind a steady corporate career over a decade ago to walk fully into the unknown—and into a life led by intuition, soul & service.

    And it hasn’t always been easy. She’s faced judgment from family members who don’t understand her path. But instead of fighting back, she chose a higher way: boundaries over bitterness. Discernment over defensiveness. Protection of energy over proving a point.

    Because when you’re committed to cultivating a truly optimized energetic system, the people who drain your light can no longer have a seat at your table.

    Today’s guest is a living embodiment of what it means to walk your truth, honor your boundaries & keep your heart open while doing it.

  • Ep. 137: "The Courage to Pause: Remembering What You Love & Trusting the Unknown" (feat. Jason Pickard)
    Jun 13 2025

    Send us a text

    There’s a moment in every seeker’s life where the outer world no longer matches the inner one. Where the path that once felt aligned begins to pull at the seams—not because it was wrong, but because something deeper is ready to emerge.

    Our guest today knows this moment intimately.

    He climbed to the heights of success on Wall Street, playing the game at the highest level. And the surprising part? He loved it. It wasn’t a story of disillusionment with the work—but of imbalance. Health began to deteriorate. Stillness became a stranger. And the subtle signs that something was off became too loud to ignore.

    Rather than numb it out or push harder, he did something far more courageous: he stopped. He let go. And he listened. In the silence, in the unknown, something new emerged—something not driven by ego, but by essence.

    What came through was a calling to help others remember who they truly are: divine beings having a human experience, capable of living in alignment with abundance—not just in finances, but in health, purpose, relationships & spirit.

    Today, he leads a thriving community built around that vision, guiding others through what he calls the Abundance Archetype.

    A big part of the Highly Optimized brand is focused upon physical, emotional, mental & spiritual well being.

    One of my favorite aspects of the life we are all living is the mystery woven into it. From an early age, I was fascinated by the idea of aliens, the paranormal, UFO’s, psychic senses, psychedelics & more & as such, I have been a seeker who’s been looking to explore these mysteries for the better part of half my life at this point & when I first met todays guest, I knew I had found a dear brother as he not only finds interest in these topics, but is also on the cutting edge of research, direct experience & more of the aforementioned topics. In todays episode, we dove into how he first found interest in topics like these, some of the experiences he’s had along the way, the value he’s found in following his curiosity into exactly where he’s meant to be in life & much, much more.
