"And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings." — Meister Eckhart Becoming the catalyst of your own life requires knowing when it is time to pivot, change, leave, or start anew. The 4 season journey of the Catalyst podcast is coming to an end. Today, we celebrate 148 mini-sodes, including 10 Mini-Meditation, 4 Mini-Chat, and 5 Mini-Story segments. In each mini-sode, I share relatable storytelling and end with a guided meditation to guide you back to your heart-centre - the eternal light within your being. This podcast has served as a humble beginning to my own journey of finding my voice again. Sharing practical stories, tools, and insights on how to live a more mindful life has led me to growing a global audience and listenership, and expand to offline offerings, too. Now that I've found my voice and planted seeds of transformation within mySelf and you... It's time to bloom again. Honor your self with a guided meditation and healing sound bath by LUCIANA. Join me in a new beginning, and continue our journey of becoming on the Catalyst to Bloom podcast. Please subscribe/follow the podcast on your favorite app to be notified of all new segments.

"You Are A Catalyst For Change." — Kaylin Dyal This segment isn't an update. It's a homecoming. The truth that's been kept inside my body for a long time.

"If you are not seen and heard as a child, then you spend your whole life trying to find that." — Oprah Winfrey In this mini-sode, I share my process of journaling and the difference between my first childhood journal to my second - a process of cultivating emotional safety within myself, by myself. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or simply someone healing from childhood emotional trauma, this conversation opens the door to creating emotional safety and offering a safe space for kids to fully express who they are. I share reflective journaling prompts, the truth behind vulnerable journaling, and why silence before safety is a pattern worth breaking.

In the balance of life, we learn when to be flexible and when to be firm. How often do you take notice of the patterns in your life? In what ways are you committed to the "same old way" of doing things? In this mini-sode, I share how our subconscious mind (or Source/God/Spirit/intuition) can be guiding us toward new cycles and beginnings....without us even realizing it! When we make the unconscious conscious, magic happens. Let's get into it! Honor your self with a guided meditation and healing sound bath by LUCIANA. New mini-sodes every Sunday in April.

Angel Numbers are messengers and confirmations of Spirit. I recently realized that one of the reasons I love my alone time, is because for 14 years of my life, I was an only child! During these years, I learned to troubleshoot, create, and sustain myself all on my own. Fast forward to my adult lifer, alone time is necessary for me to continue nurturing the relationship I have with myself. But don't just take my word for it! In this mini-sode, I share research that supports why alone time is important. Honor your self with a guided meditation and healing sound bath by LUCIANA. New mini-sodes every Sunday and Thursday.
