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 importance of showing up authentically in relationships… even when we are afraid the other person won’t accept us for who we are. I’ll share my own story about how my husband and I could have ended it… and how my choice to speak and act wisely changed the course of our relationship and our parenting forever (and for good)!
This week’s episode is all about Sacred Discipline – not the authoritarian, “I told you so” type of discipline, but a sacred discipline that comes from creating what WE wants. A Sacred Discipline that can set us free and help us live our Soul Purpose into the world (which, BTW, really needs it right now!). We will explore how Sacred Discipline isn’t anti-freedom at all, and jam on some ways to develop our own Sacred Discipline in a daily practice.
This week’s episode is all about forgiveness as a practice, and beginning again (and again). We often think of forgivensss as a singular act, but if you’ve ever tried to truly forgive, you likely know it’s a process. And if we succeed, it’s also something we might have to go through again when old wounds are reopened. We’ll be jamming on WHY we have to revisit forgiveness over and over again, and I’ll give some tools that will help you approach forgiveness as a practice.
This week’s episode is all about breaking the rules – really! We’ll jam on why some rules should be broken, and the importance of breaking little rules every day. Plus I’ll tell you some ways you can figure out which rules should be broken in the first place.
This week we’re going to dive into how discomfort doesn’t always mean danger. We’ll also explore how we need not look for guarantees of complete safety – because nothing can guarantee 100% safety and comfort for everyone. You’ll also learn about some ways we can practice stepping INTO discomfort when we’ve found our safe enough space.
This week we talk about what we CAN do when – for myriad reasons – we can’t show up the way we’d like to in the world. We’ll talk about why we tend to ignore the not-so-awakened moments in our practice, and how that actually limits our growth. Plus I’ll tell you how we can look at our journey with a little more self-compassion and give you a super-special mantra from Larry Yang that can help us in these times.
