Sink and Swim
Sink into your truth, rewrite the story you were born to live, swim in your Soul’s purpose.
Sink AND Swim is a podcast for high-achieving Luminaires ready to break free from the “sink or swim” societal narratives that dictate the “right” ways to live, work, parent, and be.
By paddling furiously to stay afloat and conform to the corset of "sink or swim" narratives, we are pulled away from our deepest and most authentic stories.
This show illuminates the stories of Luminaires - gifted, talented, multidimensional, soul-led, and neurospicy people who have gone on the deep alchemical journey from telling a story of sink OR swim to sink AND swim.
Listeners are invited to “sink” into your raw, unfiltered stories, uncovering the gifts embedded in the parts of you that you were conditioned to hide and conform.
There, you'll find the buoyancy to “swim” - fully embracing the freedom to be who you are, live out your soul's purpose, and attract people and opportunities that honor you in your full expansiveness.

A little over a year ago, I had a nudge deep within me to do something I had never done before. I've used my voice for years, as a woman in healthcare, as a teacher, as a guide, and a leader. But I'd never created a corner of the internet where voices like mine could live. People who think differently, people who express themselves fully, even when it means going against the grain. People who tend to stand out, not because they're trying to, but because they just do, in how they think, in how they speak, in how they move, and in how they live.
Because our world is so polarized, you're either sinking or swimming, right or wrong. And there aren't many spaces for nuance, for depth, for being multi-dimensional. I didn't see many places where we could sink and swim at the same time. We're going inward and deep, wasn't seen as a failure, but as the very thing that gives you freedom and permission to grow outward. So I challenged myself to create a podcast, a space where you don't have to pay to belong, where not everything is a networking event, where you're seen for you, not just what you produce or what your body can do.
I created it during a season of deep reclamation in my own life and work. And I'm so grateful to have shared this space with women who pivot again and again towards themselves. Women who are redefining what thriving looks like. A woman who's unafraid to say that the thing she once swore by might actually be making her feel worse. A woman who helps others find their voice and message. A woman who speaks honestly about motherhood. A woman who guides other women.
to keep moving and find the magic not only in themselves, but in the earth. A woman who holds burned out women in healthcare. Women who know community is the secret source of growth. A woman who helps stories become books the world so desperately needs. Women who guide others back to their bodies original language. Women who lead through the mystical, sensual and unseen. And of course, one courageous man who embodies what it means to sink and swim, literally and metaphorically and guides others across the world to do the same. And of course, I'm grateful to myself
through all the hairstyles, all the costumes, and the many ways I expressed sinking and swimming too. Season one was such a gift, but it was only the beginning, a beginning of trusting in myself. And now I can't wait to sink and swim into season two. I hope you'll join me.
