Episode 22

You are the light of the world. And your light is dependent upon your own healing.

This episode is a radiant conversation with the luminous Siri Baruc Thornton—Reiki Master of Masters, breathwork facilitator, Akashic Records teacher, and founder of Sage + Blush Wellness.

Siri’s story is one of coming home to herself, and she shares it all with depth, grace, and authentic truth.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt like you didn’t belong
• You’re the space holder who wonders who’s holding you
• You feel called to healing work but don’t know where to begin
• You’re ready to soften, unfurl, and reconnect to your light

We explore:
💫 What Reiki, breathwork, and the Akashic Records actually are
💫 How healing can be passed down through generations
💫 The wound of not-belonging—and how to finally feel at home
💫 Why women who are resourced and supported will heal the world
💫 Siri’s powerful retreats and certifications for soul-led women

This episode is a love letter to you if you’ve ever doubted your place, your voice, or your magic. If you’re ready to feel seen, held, and known—you’re in the right place.

Episode 21: This isn’t just a practice; it’s an invitation.

Today’s episode is a bit of a shift from our usual rhythm—a sacred pause, a gift, a guided loving kindness meditation for your heart.

If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected, disillusioned with the world, with others, or with yourself, or just in need of a moment of real compassion, this episode is for you. In this short but powerful session, I guide you through one of my most cherished meditations—one that helps me come back to love, compassion, and deep inner peace no matter what’s happening externally.

Together we’ll experience a practice that expands your heart and creates freedom and ease in your day.

This meditation is for you if:

You’re craving a reset of the heart.

You want to feel more connected to your Source, your Self, and others.

You want to be ready to forgive, soften, and expand your capacity for love.

You need a reminder that you are a light in this world.

You don’t need any prior experience—just a few quiet moments and a willingness to open.

This is a practice I return to again and again—and now, I offer it to you, from my heart to yours.

Here’s your invitation for this week:

Try this meditation once a day this week (or more!), and notice what shifts. Notice how much love you’re capable of giving—and receiving.

With all my love,

May you be happy, truly happy.

May your heart be open.

May you live in deep peace and ease.

May you know the power and freedom of forgiveness.

And may you be a light in this world.

Episode 20?!

This one is for you if you’ve ever woken up in the middle of your “dream life” and thought: Wait — is this really it? WTF?

In this “whoa, did we really go there?” episode, I’m joined by the radiant and real Kena Siu — empowerment guide, midlife mentor, and creator of the Midlife Butterfly platform and podcast. Kena shares her setback-to-comeback story of losing her father, ending an unfulfilling but not terrible long-term relationship, looking at her “great job” and realizing that what once looked like a dream life had quietly become a comfort zone.

From grief and separation to full-blown spiritual and emotional rebirth, Kena walks us through her sacred journey of self-inquiry, healing, embodiment, and journey to radical self-love. This episode is a gorgeous permission slip to slow down, go inward, get curious, and come home to yourself.

We talk about:

• Turning pain into power and endings into awakenings
  
  
• What self-care and self-love really mean
  
  
• Healing from overdoing, overgiving, and overproving
  
  
• Feminine vs. masculine energy — and how to shift out of hustle and into flow
  
  
• Meditation, self-talk, and spirit-led rituals that create healing
  
  
• Why discomfort and the unknown are often the birthplace of real magic
  
  

Kena doesn’t just talk the talk — she embodies what it means to live in alignment, with joy, equanimity, and unapologetic self-worth. And she’s SO SEXY TOO! This episode is full of wisdom, warmth, and wild truth.

If you’ve been cracked open by setbacks in your life and are wondering what comes next, this conversation is a love note from us to you.

Recovery Reflection Prompts:

1. Where in my life have I mistaken comfort for fulfillment?

What routines, relationships, or roles once felt aligned but now feel like settling? Where am I being invited to step out of the comfort zone and into my next evolution?

2. What did I think I needed from others that I now know I can give myself?

Whether it’s love, approval, safety, or attention — how have you reclaimed your power by giving it to yourself first?
