Ep 27. Living Life Guided By Your "Higher-Self" & The Power Of Hypnotherapy w/ Cristina Kalyani
#27
04/20/2023

There's no summing up the professional title of Cristina Kalyani. She is a yoga teacher, hypnotherapist, sound-healer, Akashic Records Reader, Reiki practitioner and many other things as well. 
 
 My favorite title for her however, is Friend. In fact, she was the first person to meet Luka after his surprise arrival at 4:51am on Halloween. Kalyani waited outside of the supermarket till it opened on her way to come visit us to bring us diapers and wet wipes. Ellanah and I were exhausted so on her way out she cleaned our whole kitchen. 
 
 She's a very specia...


Ep 26. Jump Off The Cliff And Build Wings On The Way Down! Uprooting from NYC to Costa Rica w/ Nicolin Collingridge
#26
10/19/2022

One of the intentions of the L.I.O.N. Podcast is to inspire people to create a life beyond their dreams. That’s why I invited Nicolin on the show, because she is doing exactly that.
 
 She is no different than anyone who’s been living in the city working a 9-5 job. Just recently she was living in New Your City working for a big PR firm.
 
What separates her from many people is that when she felt that life had more to offer her, she took action. This is the process that I am in...


Ep 25. The Bhakti Path, The Yoga Of Love And Devotion & How Acne Became My Teacher w/ Annabelle Dent
#25
09/27/2022

Annabelle recently founded her own Yoga School, The Bhakti Path, and just led her first Yoga Teacher Training in Costa Rica. In this episode, she shares her beautiful story of following her heart and trusting her intuition. I love that aspect of her story because I feel that we could use a little bit more of that.
 
 You hear her story of how she refused to get a 9-5 job in order to pursue her passion.
 
 I met Annabelle in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. She became Ellanah’s housemate and eventually my housemate as well in the...


Ep 24. We’re Having A Baby! Being Expecting Parents - Special Feature w/ Ellanah Fawcett Pt. 3
#24
07/28/2022

We’re gonna be parents! None of us imagined it happening so soon, yet here we are. This is probably the most vulnerable episode of this mini-series with Ellanah. We both put it all out on the table in regards to what it was like to learn that we were going to be parents 3 months into our relationship, and even more so, the challenges that arose as we sought out to deepen our connection.
 
 There is no stronger binding agent between two people than having a child together. And so strengthening our relationship became a huge priority. Yet...


Ep 23. (Continued from Ep. 22) The Story Of Us, Special Feature w/ Ellanah Fawcett Pt. 2

CONTINUATION OF EPISODE 22.
 
 Having shared with you what prepared us for a conscious relationship, in the remainder of this session (Part 2), Ellanah and I delight in telling you the story of how it all happened.
 
 I remember making a deal with the Universe. The deal was that when it would be time for me to connect with a romantic partner, it would be inevitable that I miss it. This way I wouldn’t have to sit there and try to figure it all out.
 
 As you’ll hear in this episode, the Universe kept it’s...


Ep 22. Lessons in Love, Preparing For Conscious Partnership - Special Feature w/ Ellanah Fawcett Pt. 2
#22
07/05/2022

We got to know Ellanah, her story, and some of the beautiful work she’s doing in Part 1 of this Special Feature.
 
 In Part 2, Ellanah and I explore the idea of Conscious Relationship, and more importantly, what we each went through in preparation for one.
 
 It's a beautiful topic to explore given that it is dear to all our hearts.
 
 Both of us find ourselves incredibly blessed to be taking part in each other’s lives as romantic partners.
 
 For me, I know it would have been impossible to create this kind of rela...


Ep 21. Living From A Place Of Love, Special Feature w/ Ellanah Fawcett Pt. 1
#21
06/28/2022

One of the beautiful things I noticed about Ellanah early on was how every single person in the community in Costa Rica had the most wonderful things to say about her. Everyone without fail seemed to notice something very special about her. 
 
 I myself couldn’t help but notice the soft loving presence and awareness that she would bring to every single moment. She seemed to kiss the Earth with her feet with every step she took. I wasn’t alone in thinking of her as the best example I had seen of the embodiment of love.

“We don’t need to save the world. We need to let the world save us.”
 
 I was delighted to bring Darren back for the first episode of Season 2 of the Love Is Our Nature podcast.
 
 A lot has happened since I first had Darren in episode 8 about a year ago.
 
 I have partnered up with Darren to bring to life the Gaia Awakening Institute, which will be inaugurated later this year.
 
 The Gaia Awakening Institute is a center devoted to the evolution of human consciousness, and the reawakening of our interdependent...

Ep 19. The Journey Home. 2021 & Costa Rica Recap w/ Cesar Rodriguez
#19
12/24/2021

Sitting on the plane last Sunday as my flight was about to land back in Miami, I was literally moved to tears.
 
 I had just finished journaling and reflecting back at the beautiful process that took place this whole year and feeling so much gratitude for the life I have, and for who I get to be for myself in my body.
 
 It’s a tough thing to describe, this feeling of coming home to myself and arriving into the heart. In this episode, where we flip the script with my good friend and fellow podcas...
