Ep. 126: Sober, Celibate + Child Free By Choice

Season 1, Ep. 126

Become a resident of The Collective, the world's first digital resort where you arrive as you are, and check out as your Future Self.


Welcome to The Manifestation Collective Podcast. In this episode, I open up about three personal choices that have shaped my life - being sober, celibate, and child-free by choice - and the freedom, peace, and purpose that have followed. We explore:


  • My 14-year journey with sobriety — from anxiety, binge drinking, and social pressure to deep clarity, confidence, and freedom
  • How changing my self-concept from “someone trying not to drink” to “someone who simply doesn’t drink” transformed everything
  • Choosing celibacy and the peace that comes from protecting your energy, self-worth, and emotional intimacy
  • How to navigate dating and boundaries when you’re abstaining from sex or calling in deeper connection
  • What it truly means to be child-free by choice — the freedom, the judgement, the misconceptions, and the joy
  • Why your life choices don’t need anyone’s permission slip — and how to trust yourself when others don’t understand
  • The reminder that you’re allowed to change your mind, your beliefs, and the way you live — at any time

    Pre-Order my brand new book, RESET: Realign Your Life And Become Magnetic To Your ManifestationsIn this episode of The Manifestation Collective Podcast, I’m reflecting on the Year of the Snake and how its themes of shedding, rebirth, intuition, and quiet transformation showed up in my life in ways I couldn’t have predicted at the start of the year.The snake isn’t about loud beginnings or instant change. It’s about subtle identity shifts, releasing skins that no longer fit, and trusting the slow, powerful process of becoming. And looking back, I can see just how deeply this energy wove itself through my body, my business, my self-concept, and my future vision.In this episode, I share:How the Year of the Snake invited deep shedding rather than dramatic action, and why letting go was more important than strivingThe quiet identity shifts I experienced around self-worth, embodiment, and becoming my Future SelfWhy this year wasn’t about hustling forward, but about releasing old skins that no longer aligned with who I was becomingHow intuition, patience, and inner guidance became stronger than external pressure or timelinesThe way this energy influenced my relationship with money, business growth, and energetic minimumsHow slowing down actually created more alignment, clarity, and magnetic momentumWhy the Year of the Snake reminds us that real transformation often happens beneath the surface before it’s visible to othersFocus: Year of the Snake meaning, Year of the Snake manifestation, spiritual meaning of the Year of the Snake, Year of the Snake transformation, shedding old identities, spiritual rebirth and renewal, becoming your Future Self, identity shifting manifestation, self-concept transformation, what the Year of the Snake represents spiritually, how the Year of the Snake affects personal growth, letting go and shedding old skins spiritually, quiet transformation and embodiment, intuitive living and manifestation
