Love and relationships are at the heart of the human experience, yet navigating them in today's world can feel confusing, disappointing, and often painful. Today's conversation explores what it means to truly lead with love and how to break free from patterns that keep us stuck.

Brandon Collingsworth is a poet, philosopher, and teacher whose work centers on the transformative power of love. We connected in Bali and immediately dove into deep conversations about Love, both universal and personal, and the complexities of the heart.

In this episode, we explore:

💔 Why love is the ultimate mission (and what happens when you declare it)

🪞 The truth: we attract what we are

💪 The difference between boyhood and manhood (and why initiation matters)

🌹 Why self-love changes the entire texture of your life

👑 How to stop repeating toxic relationship patterns

🎯 The power of standards, values, and energetic boundaries

💫 Reframing the narrative around available partners

🔥 Physical attraction vs soul connection: what matters more?

⚡ Why personal transformation is the key to changing your relationships

We discuss the journey from head to heart, why self-love is the foundation for all healthy relationships, and how our standards determine who we allow into our world. The conversation covers the importance of community, accountability, and why both men and women need proper initiation into adulthood.

This episode offers permission to reframe limiting narratives, step into proactive change, and trust that healthy, conscious relationships are possible when we do the inner work first.

Today, I'm sitting down with Christa Rose (formerly known as vibin with ciicii), an incredible intuitive on her own journey of metamorphosis around relating. We're kind of the same person—spunky, fun, lover girls who both went through breakups of 7-year relationships that opened us up to deeper levels of intuition and feeling than ever before.

In this episode, we explore:

💔 Why heartbreak is the ultimate journey of consciousness for the feminine

🌹 The physical signs your body gives when you're in the wrong relationship (bloating, skin issues, unexplained symptoms that disappear when you leave)

🔥 Energy transference and why who you sleep with literally changes your reality

⏸️ The power of sitting in the void instead of jumping into the next relationship

👑 What it means to be self-focused as a divine feminine—and why it's not selfish

📱 The truth about dating apps and why they might be keeping you stuck

💰 What the feminine actually needs in a partner beyond what looks good on paper

🧬 Why staying single longer might be exactly what your ancestors prayed for

The conversation dives into why the feminine has spent centuries without the choice to say no—but now we do.

For many women right now, the path isn't about finding a partner—it's about protecting what you're building. Your mission. Your purpose. The version of yourself you're becoming. And learning that saying no to less is how you finally say yes to more.

This episode is permission to stop settling. To sit in the discomfort of the unknown. To trust that divine timing is real, and that you are your ancestors' living prayers.
