Welcome to the Rebel Buddhist™ Podcast, where I help you free your mind so you can free your life. This podcast is for the rebellious ones. The wild people. I share my stories and what I’ve learned about being a rebel soul who wants to tame her mind…but not her life. It’s led to plenty of adventures and misadventures. I’ve learned tons of tools that combine Buddhist psychology, real-world mindfulness, cognitive coaching, and modern brain science – sort of like if Buddhism and science had a love child. I want to share them with you as we walk this path together. I’m not sharing this as a dharma teacher, but as a fellow practitioner with some street cred. Welcome to my world.

This week’s episode is all about the hidden superpowers we can find in our trauma. We’ll talk about our ability to dissociate, and why it’s so critical to our development as children and our ability to survive. I’ll also dive into how our left and right brain communicate and how they can help – or hurt – us in moments of trauma or activation. I’ll give you some good tips on how to heal from our self-alienation and show ourselves more love and compassion.
This episode is all about the myth of there being anything remotely “normal.” We’ll talk about How modern industrialized society has created the concept of “normal” and how that’s hurt the way we view others and ourselves. Plus, I’ll dive into where mental health issues often stem from in the first place (hint: it’s not in our biology), and how changing our mindset can help us begin the healing process as individuals and as a society.
This week’s episode is an extra special one, as we talk about how we can help each other during a crisis or disaster AND touch on how we can continue to support and donate to Maui – and what we can do when invited to visit again. We’ll jam on some super practical tools to use when others are processing a recent crisis, and I’ll tell you some things NOT to do.. and why.
This week’s episode is all about, as Langston Hughes said, “What happens to a dream deferred?” We’ll jam on what happens when we push our dreams off, and why a lot of us don’t even try to dream in the first place. Plus I’ll give you some insight into how we can allow ourselves to believe in our dreams and overcome our oppressive thought patterns.
In this week’s episode, we’re going to continue our talk on betrayal and dive into what to do when others betray us. I’ll talk about why we feel betrayed in the first place, and what the antidote to any betrayal is.
In this episode, we’re diving into the root cause of why we commit the greatest betrayal – when we betray ourselves. We’ll jam on how people pleasing and imposter syndrome can develop in us in the first place and talk about how we can tell when we’re being inauthentic. Plus, I’ll give you one practice you can do to bring yourself back into a place of clarity and trust.
