In this episode, Sandra Guevara shares her journey from growing up in a chaotic home to rebuilding her relationship with her mom, redefining friendship, and choosing a life rooted in authenticity. This is a gentle, real look at what it takes to stop people-pleasing and start honoring who you actually are.

In this conversation, we explore how family dynamics, childhood wounds, and unspoken expectations shape the way we show up in relationships — with others and with ourselves. Sandra talks about leaving home young, feeling unseen, learning to set boundaries, and slowly finding her voice again through healing work and tarot.

You’ll hear about:

• Rebuilding a strained mother–daughter relationship from resentment to best-friend energy
• Moving from people-pleasing and “doormat” patterns into clear, grounded boundaries
• Why friendships shift as we grow — and how to navigate those changes with more maturity
• Seeing jealousy and triggers as mirrors, not proof that something is wrong with you
• The reality of healing: messy, cyclical, and still worth choosing
• Sandra’s Authentic AF group container and her upcoming “Who Am I?” workshop

If you’ve been questioning who you are outside of your roles, relationships, and past, let this episode be a soft nudge back toward yourself.

Sometimes it looks like starting from scratch, staring at the unknown, and saying, “Maybe this time, I’ll do it differently.”

In this episode, I sit down with Elijah Donnelly — storyteller, writer, and creator of Learning at 30 — to talk about what it really means to begin again. From walking away from a decade-long film career in Los Angeles to enrolling as a college freshman at age 30, Elijah’s journey is one of humility, faith, and quiet courage.

In this episode, we explore:

• What it’s like to “start over” in adulthood and rewrite your story on your own terms
• The lessons Elijah carried from 10 years in the film industry — and how storytelling continues to shape his path
• Learning to trust divine timing and see setbacks as redirections
• How faith, vulnerability, and second chances can create a life that actually feels aligned
• Why it’s never too late to make a new choice — and what it takes to follow through when pride and fear try to hold you back

If you’ve ever felt behind or questioned whether it’s too late to change your path — this conversation is your reminder that timing is never wrong when your heart is ready to listen.

In this grounded conversation, Brooke and Leigh “Gal” Marlar trace the arc from masking and over-giving to creative honesty—where art becomes a lifeline, shame loosens its grip, and your real voice starts to sound like home.

In this episode, we explore how childhood messaging, workplace dynamics, and neurodivergent wiring can train you to perform instead of express. 

You’ll hear how Leigh uses art, writing, and gentle self-inquiry to rebuild trust with herself, and how Brooke reframed a viral post into clearer boundaries and cleaner intent. If you’ve ever been told you’re “too much” (or learned to be “less”), this is a soft landing and a nudge forward.

You’ll hear about:

• Art as regulation, expression, and a path back to yourself
• Late discovery of autism/ADHD and releasing shame around labels
• The “you talk too much” wound—and why many of us stop sharing
• Masks, people-pleasing, and learning to choose yourself without apology
• The diamond-in-the-dark metaphor: pressure, timing, and being seen
• Generational patterns, clean boundaries, and practicing new responses

If you’re holding your breath to stay acceptable, let this be the exhale: one page in a journal, one small tassel, one honest sentence—start there.

• Everyday grounding: connecting with the Earth, calling your energy back, and simple intentions
• Letting yourself be many things — and reframing “higher self” as your most authentic self

• Christine’s personal story of losing both parents — and how Dolores Cannon’s teachings reshaped her understanding of death and energy.

In this conversation, I sit down with psychic medium, intuitive healer and spiritual coach Anne Cameron to explore what it really means to wake up — not just spiritually, but energetically and emotionally. We trace Anne's journey from new motherhood into a full spiritual awakening — one that cracked her open to intuitive gifts, deeper guidance, and a relationship with trust unlike anything she’d known before.

You’ll hear Anne’s story of rediscovering her intuitive gifts after the birth of her son, and how that awakening shaped the way she now walks with clients through life’s crossroads. Together, they unpack:

• The layers of intuition — from the Clairs to inner knowings and somatic messages
• How to invite in your spirit guides and why “the other side works on invitation”
• The mystery of the Akashic Records and what they reveal about your soul’s journey
• The importance of integration — moving slower, deeper, and with more grace
• Practices for protecting and reclaiming your energy
• The shift from seeking external validation to self-definition and inner trust

Anne also opens up about the tender process of surrendering into trust, describing it as “a gorgeous waterslide of faith” — the kind that requires letting go of the edges and believing you’ll be caught.

This episode is a soft landing for anyone navigating a spiritual awakening, feeling “crazy” in their sensitivity, or learning to rebuild trust — in themselves, their timing, and the unseen support all around them.

So if you’ve been gripping the sides, afraid to fall — maybe it’s time to trust the trampoline waiting beneath you.

In this episode of Wander & Weave, I explore a different perspective: what if our souls choose the lessons, challenges, and even the timing of our departure before we ever arrive? What if loss, as painful as it is, carries a hidden purpose — one that shapes not only us, but the lives of those left behind?

You’ll hear about:

• Why our first response is often blame — and how to release it without dismissing the pain
• The idea that our souls choose our path (and what that means when tragedy strikes)
• How choice differs from soul timing — and what I’ve learned about this from mentors and teachings
• Why difficult lives often belong to evolved souls with bigger missions
• How to hold grief and gratitude at the same time, even when life feels deeply unfair

This isn’t about bypassing or pretending loss is easy. It’s about remembering that every challenge is part of a bigger soul story — one that may take a lifetime to understand.

Where in your life are you holding onto blame, anger, or “it shouldn’t have happened this way”? What might shift if you trusted your soul has always known the path — even the painful parts?

Your soul chose this life, this body, this path... not to punish you, but to strengthen you. Every challenge is shaping you into someone who can hold more love, more light, and more life than you thought possible.

If you’re navigating the messy middle whether it be grief, transition, or simply the weight of change — you don’t have to carry it alone. I’m currently accepting new 1:1 clients. Apply directly here.

In this episode of Wander & Weave, I explore the illusion of productivity, why “doing it all” is often a story we tell ourselves, and how your true rhythm might look very different from the routines and rules you’ve been told to follow.

I talk about:

• Why multitasking often scatters energy instead of saving time
• How rest and movie marathons can be medicine, not laziness
• The myth of productivity as worthiness
• Why your rhythms are as unique as your body, chart, and blueprint
• A simple reflection practice to notice when you’ve felt most alive vs. most stuck

This one’s for you if you’ve been pushing, forcing, or trying to keep up with someone else’s version of “productive” — and you’re ready to find a rhythm that’s actually sustainable.

What patterns or routines in your life feel like they’re supporting you — and which ones feel like they’re draining you?

If you’re ready for support in finding your own rhythm and steadying your nervous system, I’m accepting new 1:1 clients. Apply directly here in the show notes — I’d love to walk alongside you.

What if you could stop spinning in circles — around food, health, relationships, money, or even your sense of purpose — and actually start to feel clear? In this episode, I open up about the work I do and why I believe we’re not meant to live by guesswork, but by a deeper awareness of our unique blueprint.

I share the heart of my work: helping you take the guesswork out of your body, emotions, and life. From diets and health fads to relationship dynamics and career questions, I walk through why most of us end up spinning our wheels — and how tools like astrology, Human Design, and bioenergetic testing reveal clarity where confusion used to live.

You’ll hear about:

• Why your soul already knows its blueprint (and how we slowly forget it).
• The difference between living by society’s “big ego” rules vs. your own natural rhythm.
• How your environment, emotions, and even physical symptoms point to deeper truths.
• My own journey of losing (and finding) community, support, and safety.
• How I work with astrology charts, Human Design, and CBH Energetics scans to help others reconnect with themselves.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever felt like you’re trying everything — and nothing seems to stick — or if you’re craving a life that finally feels like yours, without the constant second-guessing.

So if you’ve been carrying the weight of uncertainty, consider this your invitation to set it down. You’re not here to guess your way through life — you’re here to live it.

In this episode, we go beyond the surface of the 8/8 Lion's Gate Portal and into what it truly offers. You’ll learn:

• The ancient roots of this cosmic alignment with Sirius, Orion’s Belt, and the Great Pyramids
• How Leo season and the heart chakra make this portal a time for heart-led presence, not pressure
• Why manifestation without nervous system regulation often leads to self-abandonment
• How the house Leo rules in your chart shows where this portal lights up your life (and why my 10th house themes of career, legacy, and visibility feel extra activated)
• A simple heart-centered visualization to expand your capacity to receive

If you’ve tried vision boards, rituals, or even career leaps — only to feel like you end up back in the same place — this conversation will help you see why regulating first creates the stability to receive, keep, and grow into what you’re calling in.

If you’ve been sprinting toward “becoming” — pause. The portal isn’t something outside of you. It’s already in your chest, waiting for you to slow down enough to hear it.

In this episode, we explore the language of the nervous system: how it speaks in tight shoulders, shallow breaths, and appetite changes... and how it often knows the truth before your brain can explain it.

You’ll hear about:

• Why “I’m fine” isn’t enough when your body is telling a different story
• How survival wiring overrides logic (even when the change is good)
• What it means to actually listen to your nervous system
• The ways your body might be communicating threat — without words
• Tools I’ve used to start building safety in my system: breathwork, posture, detox, somatics, and slowing the pace

This one’s for the part of you that’s tired of overriding the signs. For the part that’s ready to feel safe — not just say it. If your jaw is tight, your sleep is light, or your mind won’t stop spinning…this is a space to pause and listen.

“The nervous system doesn’t need perfect language. It needs presence.”

From quitting my job to flying solo to Florence… from launching my website to saying yes to coaching… I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t always feel safe, even when it’s aligned.

Today’s episode explores what happens in the body when life shifts and how to anchor back into trust when the fear feels louder than your clarity.

This one’s for anyone standing at the edge of something new, wondering if their overwhelm means they’re not ready. (Spoiler: it doesn’t.)

I talk about:

• Why your nervous system resists unfamiliar change — even if it’s good
• The link between identity shifts and spiritual awakenings
• Fear vs danger: what your body’s really responding to
• How I’ve moved through fear with breath, ritual, and brave choices
• Why being seen often feels scarier than failing

This episode is for anyone who’s felt the physical weight of change — and wants to learn how to walk through it with more compassion, presence, and grounded support.

Take this with you: Your nervous system isn’t working against you. It’s just waiting to feel safe in who you’re becoming.

This raw, unpolished episode is a celebration of being seen, a reflection on the fears that visibility brings up, and a reminder that your work deserves to live in the world — even while you’re still figuring it all out.

I talk about:

• Why launching my site felt like such a deep emotional release
• The fear of being misunderstood or “too much”
• The pressure to find a niche or define my path too soon
• How support and the right questions changed everything
• My mudsuit metaphor (and why we’re here to wash it off)
• What I’m offering now — from tools to seasonal support

If you’re in a messy in-between season, doubting what you’re allowed to share, or scared to take up space — this one’s for you.

Let this episode remind you:

You don’t have to be fully ready. You just have to be real.

• How emotions are energy in motion (not disguised assumptions)
• Common phrases that keep us stuck (and the powerful reframes)

• How to speak in ways that free you — not bind you

• “I’ll try” → “I’m choosing to” or “I’m experimenting with…”
• “I don’t know” → “I’m still clarifying.”

Whether you're in a sacred shift or rebuilding your rhythm, there's something there to meet you where you are.

In this open-hearted episode, I speak from the middle of the in-between — not who I was, not yet who I’m becoming — just here, in the thick of life. Raw, real, and unresolved.

I share:

• What the “messy middle” actually feels like
• Why Earth has no place for perfection (and why that’s a good thing)
• The hidden cost of being the strong one
• How grief, career shifts, and emotional dismissal shaped this season
• The power of storytelling in reclaiming our voice and value
• Practical reflections for those in transition

This episode is for anyone grieving what was, unsure of what’s next, or holding a quiet question they don’t yet have words for. You’re not alone — and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Take this with you: You’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to ask for help. The messy middle is sacred ground, too.

I talk about the difference between physical exhaustion and energetic depletion… and how ignoring your emotions might be the real reason you feel numb, disconnected, or stuck.

This episode is part story, part reflection — and an invitation to come back to what your energy is really trying to say.

I talk about:

• Why emotions are energy (and why ignoring them drains us)
• The real reason I felt depleted — even when “doing nothing”
• A personal moment that brought me back to my body in a parked car
• How emotional suppression becomes energetic stagnation
• What it means to feel something all the way through

This one’s for anyone who’s been chasing energy — and forgetting to feel.

Sometimes it’s not about doing more. It’s about finally feeling what’s been frozen.

Take this with you: Your emotions aren’t interruptions. They’re invitations — back into your body, your energy, your life.

In this episode, I explore what consciousness really means, not as a concept, but as a way of being. I reflect on how even simple acts, like saging my home, become powerful when rooted in intention. And how intention, when backed by presence, becomes a portal back to self.

We dive into:

• What consciousness really is (beyond the buzzwords)
• The myth that consciousness is complicated
• Why intention is more about energy than effort
• A story of forgetting the “why” behind rituals & remembering again
• How scattered energy distorts intention
• Simple practices for embodying intention in everyday life

This one’s for anyone who’s ever gone through the motions and wondered why something still felt off. It’s your reminder: presence is the point. Intention is the practice. And consciousness is how you come home.

Embodied Practice:

→ Before you act, ask: What energy am I bringing into this moment?

→ Take 3 breaths:

1. I’m coming home to my body.
2. I soften any tension.
3. What energy do I want to carry from here?

Next up: Energy — what it is, how to feel it, and how your environment, thoughts, and body play a role in either restoring or draining your life force.

In this reflective episode, I reimagine the story of the Garden of Eden — not as a tale of shame or punishment, but as a soulful awakening. Inspired by Harold S. Kushner’s How Good Do We Have to Be?, this episode explores what it really means to be “good,” how childhood teaches us to shrink, and what it takes to come back home to ourselves.

This isn’t a Bible story. It’s a remembering — of your voice, your truth, and your right to choose who you are becoming.

I talk about:

• Why “being good” is often a performance rooted in fear
• How childhood guilt shapes our identity and sense of worth
• My own story of losing (and slowly reclaiming) my voice
• How to recognize inherited beliefs vs. your inner truth
• A gentle body-based practice to help you tune back in

This episode is for anyone who’s ever questioned if they were too much, too emotional, or just plain wrong. Spoiler: you’re not. You’re remembering what’s actually yours.

Take this with you: You don’t need to earn your goodness — just reclaim it.

In this raw and reflective episode, I open up about my own experience navigating the pressure to do wellness right — from spending money I didn’t have to chasing every tool, trick, and supplement in hopes of finally “fixing” myself.

This isn’t a call-out. It’s a call inward — back to truth, back to simplicity, and back to your own body.

I talk about:

• How perfectionism sneaks into the spiritual and wellness space
• Why healing doesn’t need to be expensive, aesthetic, or performative
• My castor oil pack mishap (yes, really)
• What it actually means to heal on your own terms
• Learning to stop performing and just… be human

This episode is for anyone who’s felt like they’re not doing healing “right” or wondered if they’re falling behind. Spoiler: you’re not. You’re healing in your own time, and that’s more than enough.

Take this with you: Less noise. More truth.

You don’t have to earn your healing — just feel it, live it, and trust it.

In this episode, I drop the script and speak straight from the moment — because embodiment isn’t about having the perfect outline. It’s about letting your body lead. 

We explore what it means to move from thought to truth, from performing to being, and from holding it all in… to letting it move through you. Whether it’s a canceled plan, a nervous system flare, or a long-overdue nap — embodiment meets you in the real, raw, everyday moments.

Highlights Include:

• What embodiment actually feels like (and how to spot it in your life) 
• The difference between wanting peace and living like you deserve it 
• Why your body is the messenger and how it speaks through tension, symptoms, or emotions 
• A personal story on choosing rest without guilt and why that’s a radical act 
• A powerful question to bring your future self into today’s choices 

What are your actions saying about what you value?

Embodiment starts with one small choice — to honor your body, your truth, your timing. Let this episode remind you that you already are what you’ve been waiting to become.

In this episode, I share what awakening has looked like in my own life: from a flat tire on my birthday to the moments I missed the signs because I was trying to do it all. We talk about tuning into your body, noticing the whispers, and why your energy, not your timeline, is what guides the path.

This isn’t a checklist. It’s a coming home.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• A personal story that sparked my awakening
• Why you can’t skip steps in your soul’s evolution
• The metaphors that help me understand awakening (and how you might see yourself in them)
• Why slowing down helps you receive what you’ve been praying for
• Gentle practices for listening to your body and shifting your frequency

Message me or share your take — I’d love to hear what this episode brought up for you.

This isn’t a podcast about having it all figured out.

It’s about the messy middle. The sacred unraveling. The moments that crack you open and quietly bring you back to yourself.

In this trailer, I share what Wander & Weave is all about — real stories, raw reflections, and soul-deep truth told through the lens of the body, energy, and the rhythms of real life.

If you're navigating a shift or craving more honesty in a world full of surface-level solutions, you're in the right place.

What to Expect:

• Real-life stories (not highlight reels)
• Gentle truth-telling + perspective shifts
• Conversations about the body, energy, emotions, and healing
• Soul tools like Human Design, astrology, and holistic wellness — as mirrors, not mandates
• Permission to slow down, soften, and find your rhythm again

If you’re unraveling, realigning, or just remembering who you really are — this space is for you.
