| 5/31/26 | ![]() 357: Can You Love Your Children But Still Choose Yourself? | In this deeply personal episode, I explore a question that many women, mothers, and caregivers silently wrestle with:Can you deeply love your children and still choose yourself?After spending a Sunday working on my dreams, I was unexpectedly hit with a wave of guilt.Am I a bad mother?Should I be home more?Should my children be the center of every decision I make?As I sat with those questions, I began reflecting on the beliefs many of us inherit about parenting, sacrifice, ambition, and self-worth.

| 5/18/26 | ![]() 355: Peacocks Don’t Apologize or Ask for Permission | In this deeply personal episode, I share a moment that unexpectedly brought up one of my oldest wounds: the fear of being too much.After attending a friend’s birthday celebration wearing a bold red outfit, a fascinator, and showing up fully as myself, I left feeling something familiar — shame.Was I too loud?Too expressive?Too visible?Too much?What followed was a powerful realization about authenticity, visibility, and the ways so many of us quietly abandon ourselves to fit in.We explore how childhood conditioning shapes our fears of standing out, why many women learn to shrink themselves to feel safe, and how shame doesn’t just affect our behavior — it impacts our dreams, confidence, and willingness to be seen.This episode is about reclaiming your radiance, trusting who you naturally are, and understanding that the qualities you’ve been trying to suppress may actually be connected to your purpose.If you’ve ever felt like you needed to tone yourself down, stay quiet, or become smaller to make others comfortable, this conversation is for you.You are not too much.You may simply have been taught to shrink.DisclaimerThe information on this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only.

Featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and the BBC's Worklife, he pioneers the convergence of psychedelics, personal transformation, and professional success. Paul empowers leaders, creatives, and pioneers to leverage psychedelics for profound personal and professional growth. He views psychedelics as refined skills cultivated through mentorship, exploration, and purposeful use—critical for humanity's ongoing evolution. As the longest-standing and youngest entrepreneur in this field, Paul's focus on merging psychedelics with professional development is evident in his transformative training program Psychedelic Coaching Institute.
