Have you ever considered the true power of your emotions? How they can guide, heal and transform, rather than just disturb? Join me on a journey beyond the taboo, and into the heart of our emotional highs and lows. I'll be sharing personal stories, practical tools and the importance of seeking help when necessary. It's a chance to grapple with the reality that our emotions are not just normal, but integral to our wellbeing.
Ever thought about harnessing the power of breath and body in managing your emotions? Together, we'll discover techniques such as present breath awareness and somatic exercises that I've found incredibly helpful. We'll discuss the benefits of trying different ways of processing our emotions and delve into powerful self-healing techniques like mirror work, holotropic breath work, and IFS parts work. These methods can help address different aspects of ourselves and lead to emotional harmony.
Finally, I'll lead you to an unexplored territory of seeking guidance from our future selves. We'll explore how visualizing our ideal future selves can help us make sense of our current state and emotional challenges. I'll introduce more tools like EFT tapping, a technique that has the potential to change our state by shifting neurological connections. So, join me in embracing, understanding, and harnessing the full spectrum of our emotions for a deeper self-understanding.

Ever wondered how a daunting experience like improv could turn out to be your secret weapon for communication? Join me as I take you on a roller-coaster ride of my 10-week improv journey, filled with cringe-worthy moments, breakthrough 'aha' moments, and exhilarating live performances. I promise, by the end of this episode, you too will be eager to embrace the discomfort and say "yes and" to improv, including improving your communication skills along the way.
Through my personal anecdotes from the class, I'll share how the strategies we adopted helped us to connect better with others and stay open to their offerings. You'll hear about the instructor who not only taught us improv but also showed us how to trust ourselves and our ideas. You'll learn that being okay with failure and your own 'cringe' can lead to more authentic conversations and connections. So, why not give improv a chance? It could be the key to unlock your communication potential. Listen in, and let's start this journey together.
*Improvisation, or improv, is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment (hideouttheatre.com) - Improv is performed on the TV show Whose Line is it Anyway.
Shoutout to Surfside Playhouse and their incredible instructors, Marco & Adam, in Cocoa Beach, FL for putting on incredible Improv classes!

Music intro/outro: "In the Forest" by Lesfm
Growing up, joy was elusive to me. It was a misunderstood feeling, one I unconsciously mistook as a reward from external sources rather than a state of being. My strained relationship with joy saw me board a plane to Mexico with a one-way ticket, uncertain but hopeful. I was guided towards an ayahuasca ceremony, an event that reshaped my perception and gave me an opportunity to unlearn my conditioning and reclaim my joy.
My journey didn't stop in Mexico. Back home in the US, I embarked on a self-reflective odyssey, confronting my own shadows and traumas. It was through this process of self-discovery that I mastered the art of re-parenting myself, realizing the power of compassion and understanding. I learned how to tap into a core wound in my Human Design and Gene Keys, and unlocked an energetic passion that I now use to serve others.
Trust me, the journey to joy is challenging yet fulfilling. Through my story, I hope to inspire you to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, to recognize your potential, and to become a source of joyous light for others.

Have you ever wondered what might be hidden in the shadowy parts of your soul? What if there was a map to navigate your emotional terrain? Join me in this episode as we journey together into the heart of self-awareness and growth through the lens of the fascinating Gene Keys Venus Sequence. Rooted in astrology and the I Ching, this compelling inner voyage helps us uncover unconscious childhood imprints and confront our shadows, allowing us to take control of our lives and heal our relationships. It's not exactly a walk in the park, as my own experience testifies, but it can be an incredibly transformative journey towards self-love and acceptance.
How often have we blamed others for triggering negative emotions in us? Through the wisdom of the Venus Sequence, I've learned to stop playing the blame game. Instead, I now lean into these triggers, hold space for them, understand them, and release them. This transformative process has magnified the quality of my relationships, showing me that everyone is merely a reflection of myself.
Explore the Venus Sequence sequence with me and the potent power it has to put the power back into your hands and transform your relationships. The journey to my core wound through the Gene Keys has bestowed me with the gifts of radical acceptance, grace, compassion, and forgiveness, both towards myself and others. So, are you ready to transform your life? Tune in and let's explore the power of the Gene Keys Venus Sequence together.

Together, we'll delve into uncharted territories of self-discovery and growth, exploring the resonance our voices and conversations have on our alignment with others.

If you have ever been curious about meditation and wanted to try it yourself, are interested in learning about different types of meditations, or are a seasoned meditator and want to hear about a fellow meditator's journey - this episode is for you!
There is incredible power that lies in silence and stillness, and I embarked on a transformative journey for the last 10+ years that led to self-discovery and helped navigate big life changes. As your host, Nina Elise, I invite you to join me as I share personal experiences about my meditation journey, marked with challenges, breakthroughs, and profound transformations.
Remember how daunting the thought of sitting still and quiet for a couple of minutes, let alone hours, seemed? Well, I do. I threw myself into a journey of meditating every day for two hours, navigated the rough terrains and high tides, and came out on the other side with wisdom and revelations about myself. We will explore various meditation forms, my experiments with the Triple Flame app, and a riveting 3-day silent meditation experiment. These practices, all unique in their ways, have helped maintain a steady meditation journey.
Finally, let's explore the subtle shifts meditation can bring into your life. Like the butterfly effect, these small shifts can create significant changes. Drawing from my experience with multiple forms of meditations, I share how meditating one to two hours daily has led to transformative periods in my life. What started as a challenge ended up molding my personal and professional life, proving that the time you invest in meditation isn't as important as the quality and intentions set forth in your practice. Join me on this enlightening journey, and let's explore how meditation can transform your reality.

Music intro/outro: "In the Forest" by Lesfm
What if you could transform your life into a captivating video game, with you as the main character? This thought-provoking idea is the essence of our conversation today. With this intriguing concept, we draw parallels between life and video games, and examine how internal dynamics shape external realities. Understanding life as a video game can be challenging, mainly because it implies a radical shift in our perception of reality. Yet, as we delve deeper, we realise the empowering potential of this idea. Embrace this exciting journey with us and witness how your world view transforms.
Imagine taking absolute responsibility for your life, reclaiming your sovereignty, and emerging as a blank slate. Sounds liberating, right? That's what we explore in this episode. We discuss the concept of being actors in our own video game-like reality, capable of stepping into different characters in various situations. This radical responsibility paves the way for profound personal transformation, allowing us to break free from the old paradigms and belief systems, and create a fun and engaging reality.
Lastly, we focus on how to create your personal video game - this involves taking complete responsibility for your life, and creating a reality that's exciting, and not overly serious. We examine how discarding conditioned beliefs and external needs can set the stage for creating from a purer place. Our discussion also highlights the importance of finding joy in the simple things and maintaining consistency in them. So, gear up for an episode that promises to challenge your perception of reality, and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the power of intention and focus.
