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 we talk about the difference between settling vs accepting, and how that helps us live our best life during the precious time we have left in this life. Plus I’ll give you some ways you can begin to change your mindset from shifting to accepting, starting right now. You’ll also learn how to spot BS when you think things are “good enough” but know in your bones that’s far from the truth.
In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the arrival of Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least!) and the importance of embracing and becoming familiar with the inner and outer darkness it brings. We explore remembering the light we all carry within no matter the season; our ziji, our radiant inner confidence, and set the intention that this Solstice be a time of connection – to yourself, your light, and to the gifts that the dark can bring.
This is a replay of one of my favorite episodes, because if you’re anything like me and you have a tendency toward some major FOMO with a dash of perfectionism, you can spend some serious energy debating all the options for any decision that comes your way. And we have a lot of decisions to make this time of year!
This week we’re diving into the difference between intellectually understanding concepts and knowing them in our BONES. We’ll talk about how we can find true realization on our own path, and the importance of applying it to the real world. We’ll also explore one of the trickiest parts of this all: being radically honest with ourselves about how embodied our wisdom really is.
This coming weekend is the anniversary of my mom’s passing from this life. I have a lot of grief around our relationship in the last couple years of her life.I was impatient and bitchy, sleep deprived and in the throes of postpartum depression, while also getting my doctoral degree and going a shitton of solo parenting.
This week is for those of us who feel a sense of grief that we may have started our spiritual journey “too late.” Who feel we’re way late to the party. I’m going to help you rethink that by showing you why right now is the perfect time for you to begin your path. We’ll also be busting a few myths about what we often think our path should look like, versus what it really is.
