SOLO EPISODE: Aligned AI - Tools I Use to Work Less and Live More Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I've been using AI, not just in my business, but in every area of my life.

Over the past two years, what started as a time-saver has evolved into something much deeper: a co-creator for my clarity, a mirror for my mindset, and a surprising partner in personal growth.

From daily task planning and content creation to dream decoding and spiritual integration, I'm sharing how I use tools like ChatGPT, Riverside, Castmagic, and more to work less, live more, and stay deeply aligned.

Whether you're AI-curious or already a superuser, this episode will give you a more conscious, grounded way to approach artificial intelligence—with heart, integrity, and a whole lot of intentionality.

What I Cover in This Episode:

How I use AI beyond business—for parenting, healing, travel planning, and creating ease
Why I see AI as a mirror for your thoughts, energy, and intentions
My current daily routine with AI (especially my morning "verbal processing" rituals!)
How I integrate AI into spiritual practices like journaling, dreamwork, and alignment rituals
Ways I keep my voice authentic while using AI to streamline content creation
Misconceptions people have about AI—and how better inputs = better (more magical) output
How to use AI in alignment without losing integrity, creativity, or connection

Quotes from the Episode:

"AI isn't the end of humanity—it's a mirror of it."

"What started as a time saver turned into a soul aligner."

"It's not about doing less. It's about showing up more fully in the places that matter."

Tools + Resources I Mention:

ChatGPT (aka Rae, my daily go-to)
Riverside (for podcasting)
Castmagic + Fireflies AI (for transcriptions + summaries)
Otter AI (also mentioned)
Star Path (my AI astrology oracle)
ClickUp (project management + life dashboard)

Use AI as a journaling or verbal processing partner, especially if you're a verbal thinker like me
Challenge the idea that AI has to feel robotic—it can feel intuitive and human

Unblock Your Business: The Subconscious Work Behind Sales Success with Julie Costa Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the things in your business—but still hitting a wall—this conversation is your turning point.

I sat down with my friend and subconscious reprogramming expert, Julie Costa, to dive into the real reasons why entrepreneurs get stuck (and why more strategy isn't the answer). Julie is a master hypnotherapist, NLP trainer, and founder of the Anchored Certification—and she's pulling back the curtain on the work that actually moves the needle: rewiring your subconscious.

This episode is about mindset—but not in the cute, Instagram-quote kind of way. We're talking deep parts work, hypnosis, and how to clear the inner blocks that sabotage your success before you ever hit "publish." Whether you're a coach, creative, or consultant, this is the episode that will help you move from stuck to soul-aligned sales—ethically, effectively, and without the hustle.

In This Episode, We Cover:

Why subconscious patterns—not strategy—are keeping you stuck in business

How parts work reveals internal conflicts that block confidence and clarity

What hypnosis really is and how it reprograms limiting beliefs

Why NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) changes how you lead and sell

The difference between band-aid coaching and true transformation

Julie's journey from retail leader to subconscious breakthrough expert

What to expect inside her Anchored Certification and free open house events

Notable Quotes:

"You don't actually need to learn to, quote, sell. You need to learn a little bit about what's blocking you from receiving." – Rebecca

"The problem people come to us for is never the real problem; it's a symptom of the deeper-rooted issue." – Julie

"If you're not trained to shift it subconsciously or somatically, you're just applying a band-aid." – Julie

Consider training in subconscious work if you're holding space for others

Slower Living, Deeper Connection: What a Year in Carmel Has Taught Me Jun 08, 2025

Show notes

One Year in Carmel: Alignment, Softness, and the Beauty of Slowing Down

In this solo episode, Rebecca Cafiero takes us on a deeply personal journey through the first year of living in her "soul home"—the coastal village of Carmel-by-the-Sea. It's not just a geographic move, but a soulful shift away from hustle and into harmony.

From Silicon Valley speed to seaside stillness, Rebecca shares what it means to choose alignment over achievement, presence over productivity, and connection over chaos. This episode reflects motherhood, creativity, community, and the quiet power of trusting your inner knowing—even when it defies logic.

If you've ever dreamed of starting fresh or felt the nudge to slow down, this episode invites you to listen to the whispers.

In This Episode, Rebecca Explores:

Why slowing down is often the real secret to healing
What changed (and what didn't) after moving to her "happy place"
The surprising creative renaissance that came from doing less
Redefining success in the wake of her husband's 9-figure exit
How soft rhythms and strong roots create a deeper family connection
Letting go of "shoulds" to reclaim joy, rest, and ritual
The magic of living in a true village where everyone knows your name

Tools + Takeaways:

Replace force with flow—start with one ritual
Walk, cook, create—move toward organic regulation
Volunteer or engage in the local community—it's connection medicine
Embrace the "soft girl era" without guilt
Create space before you fill it
Follow the inner pull, even if you can't explain it yet

Quote to Remember:

"This isn't about achievement anymore. It's about alignment—and that means letting go of what no longer fits, even when it once made perfect sense." – Rebecca Cafiero

Final Note: Whether you're standing at a life crossroads or quietly craving more meaning in your everyday, Rebecca's story reminds us that deep transformation often starts with a whisper. If you've been waiting for a sign—it might just sound like this.

Aging in Reverse: Flexibility, Strength, and Body Awareness for a Thriving Life Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

In this soul-meets-science conversation, I'm joined by the incredible Domini Anne - a movement specialist, anatomical artist, and walking embodiment of what it means to move through life with intention. From dissecting cadavers to dancing across continents, Domini's story is anything but ordinary—and neither is her approach to healing.

We dive into how most people don't hear their bodies until something breaks, and how to rewrite that narrative through proprioception, play, and presence. Domini's innovative modality, Propriosynthesis, blends breath, vibration therapy, resistance, and creative movement to help her clients reverse age their spines and reclaim the joy of mobility.

This episode is your permission slip to move differently, listen more deeply, and fall back in love with the body you live in.

In This Episode, We Explore:

Why healing begins before something breaks
How to stop outsourcing your body's wisdom and build a dialogue with it
Domini's journey from ballet stages to anatomy labs
The wild, wonderful intersection of AI, art, and anatomy
"Jedi spine tricks" for realigning and reawakening your nervous system
How dance builds brain-body brilliance (and why you need more of it)

Tools + Takeaways:

Stretch and breathe before getting out of bed
Create playful movement constraints to unlock creativity
Strengthen through full ranges of motion—not just flexibility
Ditch disembodied movement (yep, your body knows when you're distracted)
Use vibration, breath, and resistance to rewire aging patterns

Quote to Remember:

"Your body isn't a machine to push harder—it's a living relationship. Treat it like one." – Domini Anne

Final Note:

This episode is a reminder: healing doesn't always happen in stillness—it can happen in motion, in rhythm, in joy. Whether you're healing, evolving, or simply learning to listen, your body is ready. Are you?

Show notes

I Didn't Join Burlesque to Be Seen—I Did It to See Me

What happens when you stop waiting for permission and finally pay attention to you?

In this intimate, unfiltered solo episode, Rebecca takes you behind the curtain—literally—into her burlesque journey: not for applause, but for awakening. This isn't about being sexy for someone else. This is about reclaiming your joy, your body, and your creativity—just because it lights you up.

From a spark at her daughter's dance recital to a rhinestoned C-3PO costume (yes, really), Rebecca shares how burlesque became the medicine she didn't know she needed.

Inside this raw, real, and radiant episode:

Sacred Play > Performance for Approval There's no monetizing this. No optimizing it. Just joy, glitter, and the sacred return to a part of herself she didn't realize had gone missing.

Creativity That Has Nothing to Prove From Star Wars themes to '80s throwbacks, discover how burlesque unlocked permission, power, and serious play—without ever needing to "make it a thing."

Impact Beyond the Stage The ripple effect of one woman choosing joy—from her friends crying in the audience to her kids seeing what lit-up actually looks like.

This episode is your invitation. To wear the damn sequins. To dance. To choose joy, out loud.

Because this isn't about being seen by others. It's about finally seeing yourself.

⚡ Living On Your EDGE (Without Falling Off) Tracy reveals her signature EDGE formula—Examine, Direct, Ground, Express/Enforce—and how it's the GPS to live in alignment instead of anxiety.
