In this solo episode, I open up about how I've been in a bit of a mindset rut lately, focusing a bit too much what's not going well in my life and being more critical of myself and others. I noticed I was lingering in this place a bit too long and had the inspiration to pull myself out of it using gratitude. Gratitude is so powerful becasue it's a way to intentionally shift out of negative ways of thinking by training our brain to see ourselves and our lives through a more positive, grounded lens. Our minds are naturally wired to focus on what's wrong and there is something really powerful about redirecting our attention toward what's working, what's good, and what we can appreciate. I deeply believe having a regular gratitude practice is one of the most impactful ways to do that and it's been something that has helped me feel so much more joyful and happy in my every day life. In this episode, I walk you through 4 simple, doable ways to start weaving gratitude into your everyday life so you can feel more at peace, present, and fulfilled. I also share the 30-day, 3-minute gratitude practice I'm personally committing to right now. Maybe you'll feel inspired after listening to this episode to join me!

In this solo episode, I open up about the importance of caring, especially when it oftentimes feels easier to protect ourselves, shut down, or stay guarded. Even though our past experiences or current circumstances might make it feel safer to close our hearts, there is something deeply powerful about choosing to stay open. I believe that caring about people, about your life, and about what matters to you is actually part of the solution. But it requires courage and also vulnerability. To make it more tangible, I also walk you through a simple practice to help you get clear on what you truly care about and how to start taking small, aligned action toward those things so you can feel more alive. If you've been feeling guarded, disconnected, or unsure of what matters most right now or if your actions even matter at all, my hope is that this episode inspires you to take your power back by coming back into your heart.

In this solo episode, I open up briefly about a season where I've been feeling a bit heavy, cloudy, and not fully like myself. I share how focusing on self love has been helping pull me out of my funk and also a simple but powerful reminder: the most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. I share my perspective on self love and how to activate it in the moments when we feel triggered or insecure. I also walk you through a simple mirror practice I share with my 1:1 clients that you can use at home to create safety within yourself, build up your own self worth, and give yourself the words and validation you are craving externally. Inside this episode, I specifically share: A simple life update on how I've been feeling lately Why your relationship with yourself is the most important one in your life A healing mirror practice to support your own self worth and self love A behind-the-scenes peek into doing this mirror practice for myself on a recent friendship challenge Tangibly how to navigate moments of insecurity or being triggered with gentleness towards yourself Next time you are feeling insecure, triggered, or vulnerable, I hope you can use this practice to ground and come home to yourself.

In this episode, I'm sharing three simple yet powerful practices I love to use at the start of a new year to help clarify my vision, set intentions/goals and connect with how I actually want to feel and focus on throughout the year ahead. These practices might be a helpful spin on the new year if you're someone who doesn't fully connect with new years resolutions. They are intuitive, creative, and grounded; and ideally to support you in setting goals that feel aligned with your personal values. Inside this episode, I walk you through: Why choosing a word of the year can help anchor your energy and intentions How to work with a spirit animal (or spirit animal card) as guidance for the year ahead + specifically how to work with an oracle card deck How to create a vision board rooted in your specific desires, goals, and emotional intentions + how to work with your vision board over the course of one year and beyond A behind-the-scenes peek into my own words and spirit animal cards from both last year and this year Whether you're listening right at the start of the year or anytime you're craving clarity and direction, I hope this episode supports you in creating a vision that feels authentic, grounded, and exciting.

Inside of this solo episode, I share details with you around why I stopped drinking alcohol 7-8 years ago in my early 20's. This was a personal decision for me and I wanted to unpack this in an episode, in case my own decision can inspire or support you as you examine your own relationship with alcohol. Everybody gets to choose for themselves what works for them and there isn't any judgment or coaching around this topic inside this episode, it's just me openly sharing a decision I made for myself, why I made it, and how I maintain integrity with it for myself right now.
