Welcome to Ready to Rise —a podcast for high-achieving women ready to heal, awaken, and embody true happiness.
You’ve checked all the boxes. You’ve built the life you thought would make you happy. But deep down, you feel disconnected, anxious, or numb - like you’re just going through the motions.
This is your space to reset, realign, and rise.
Here, we bridge nervous system healing, spiritual awakening, and deep self-reconnection. We’ll explore functional freeze, emotional healing, breathwork, sound healing, somatics, and ancient wisdom - all designed to help you shift from survival mode into a life of joy, ease, and deep fulfillment.
This is a journey back to your true self - where ancient wisdom meets modern healing, where the subconscious rewrites old stories, and where your soul remembers what it’s always known. A life of deep happiness, ease, and purpose isn’t just possible - it’s your natural state.
Through raw conversations, guest experts, and real-time practices, you’ll learn how to move energy, awaken your intuition, and return to your most vibrant, alive, and fully-expressed self.
You weren’t meant to just exist—you were meant to feel deeply, live fully, and wake up happy.
