I am so excited to host the goddess herself Jayne Gottlieb. She is Aspen Shakti's owner
and founder and the creator of Shakti Method. She and I are talking about SHAKTI
ENERGY: what it means, the fact that you have it and how you can harness it, live it,
love it, and let it guide you home to your inner goddess so that you can walk in the
physical world with that gorgeous, potent, powerful, feminine, female presence.
In this episode...
● Shakti energy
● Anxiety & Fear
● Courage
● Next right step
● The illusion of self
● Sharing your gift
● Rebalancing
Quotes
“I've come to define shakti as the divine creative energy of the universe. Shakti is alive,
luminous and desirable. It’s that inner magnetism, that inner sparkle, that inner thing
that we can't quite touch, but we can see it and smell it and hear it in the way that
people speak.” - Jayne Gottlieb
“I think a lot of us long to feel at home within any space. Not from an egotistical
standpoint where we want other people to notice it in us, but for us to realize it within
ourselves.” - Nikki Spo
“Shakti is walking the talk of what is the truth of your soul.” - Jayne Gottlieb

“I think that the affair itself removes the power of choice for the person who doesn’t know about it.” - Nikki Spo

Jamie Lee Ruiz is BACK, baby, and this time we are talking about… AGE DIFFERENCES IN RELATIONSHIPS LFG 👀
In this episode…
The ”50 shades of grey” guys
Open communication
Safety
Inappropriate age gaps and what makes them inappropriate…
When age gaps are good
Settling into adulthood
The magic of being young, wild, and free
Losing your light and reclaiming it.
Quotes
“Women have to get a lot more comfortable in their own skin to understand what they want, what they like, and what they expect.” - Nikki Spo
“Men don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t know what you like or what you want if you don’t say it.” - Jamie Lee Ruiz
“I had to grow up very quickly and because of that I’ve learned that children should never be placed in adult roles. Parents sometimes emotionally dump on their children when it's not a child's responsibility to hold the emotional or physical capacity or weight of an adult.” - Nikki Spo
“There are men that have healing to do and either don’t know that they have to do it, or don’t want to do it and so it’s easier to get a young woman who is easily manipulated or molded that isn’t going to challenge them to grow.” - Jamie Lee Ruiz

Social media hate
Creating your own identity
Finding your co-parenting groove
Introducing new partners to your children
Quotes
“You gotta make sure you’re with somebody you want and not somebody you need.” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack
“Co-parenting is underrated, it's made me a better parent.” - Nikki Spo
“You really have to understand the difference between guilt and shame. Are you guilty of doing something bad or do you feel ashamed because somewhere along the line you believed you weren’t allowed to have your own identity as a mother or a person.” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack
“Social media has become so black and white but when it comes to divorce you have to live in the gray. Get comfortable in the gray as a co-parent because that's your life” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack
“What good co-parenting is is supporting your child's relationship with the other parent, staying in your lane and letting them be the parent they need to be, and following your parenting plan. It doesn’t need to be more difficult than that.” - Michelle Dempsey-Multack

Welcome back! I’ve been thinking a lot about social media, its impact on my life, its potential future impact on my kids' lives, and how to navigate life in a more intentional and less distracted way. So today I'm really excited for my chat with Palak Dave who is a versatile entrepreneur, speaker, and the author of "Beautiful Every Days," a guidebook to living in the here and now. I'm excited to join Palak today to discuss her transformative journey where each day offers the chance to live beautifully here in the now.
In this episode…
Digital distractions
Face to face interactions
Human connections
Passive connection
Community & Connection
The nitty gritty
Hustle culture
Quotes
“My goal is to get people to see that we don't have to completely remove the digital parts of our lives, we have to lean into things so that we can fill our cups with more of what we love and what we know we need, but we might not be doing for ourselves.” - Palak Dave
“Chances are if you're going through something there are other people going through the same thing and it's just a matter of acknowledging it and raising those topics so that people feel like they can be connected.” - Palak Dave
“Ask deep questions from a place of curiosity instead of having an outcome that you're trying to get to.” - Palak Dave
“I think that curiosity is a solution to a lot of things, even arguments. Asking for clarification for things can solve so much.” - Nikki Spo
“You can reclaim your time and have it be so it's not controlling you.” - Nikki Spo
“You can be really intentional without it having to be the f***ing Pinterest board.” - Nikki Spo
“I think a lot of us don't know what our deep inner knowing is. Like we have it, but we can't identify it. But for me it's been like a constant pull trying to pull me back home to myself.” - Nikki Spo
