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 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.
This week we’ll talk about what’s possible when we drop our stories. We’ll ask ourselves, “Is this STILL a story that applies to me?” and “Who am I without my story?” We’ll revel in what freedom from the past feels like, how redefining personal narratives can impact the collective, and how this is especially relevant in these times.
This week we’re going to explore what we can do as individuals and as a community when we feel ungrounded during uncertain times. I’ll give you an important first step toward healing and action, lessons from 4000+ year-old trees, and reminders that help keep the spark of hope alive and well. We’ll zoom in and out to make current events more manageable within our hearts, minds, and spirits.
This week, we dive into those unforgettable moments when we realized, “Holy shit—I have it in me!” Together, we’ll explore the times life called for a strength we didn’t know we had, and how reconnecting with these hidden resources can empower us for whatever comes next. Through reflection, storytelling, and a bit of awe, we’ll uncover the courage and resilience that have always been a part of us, ready to rise to any challenge.
This week is all about why we ALL belong… no matter how different we might feel from the world around us. I’ll break down why we often feel out of place with the world around us when we’re on our spiritual path and why that can actually be a GOOD thing. Plus we’ll jam on some great ways you can help to remember and feel connected with your inherent belonging in the world, and how the very thing that might have you feeling isolated is the very thing that will connect you to all that is.
This week is all about the power of a self-generated ceremony. I’ll open up about my own recent experiences while on a 4-day, 4-night wilderness solo fast and how I created ceremonies right there for the major moments throughout my life. I also share how my heart was cracked open, and jam on some ways you can create your own ceremonies, including questions you can use to get started.
