It's so cute when I get sad 😓

It’s normal to go through hard times as humans, but how we handle our hard times is the difference between playing out old patterns and growing into something new and better.

I'm learning the ukelele, and I'm not where I want to be yet. In fact, during this podcast you can hear where I'm at. Now, in the past I would've prefaced my playing with an admonishment of my skills, but not only am I learning how to play the ukelele, I'm also learning how to be kind to myself in the process.

What we do first thing in the morning sets us up for the rest of the day, not to mention the rest of our lives. So in this podcast I share some tips that I've learned about how to best use this time to cultivate a happy life.

How is it that some people seem to have more time than others? In that, they seem to be able to accomplish so much while others never get around to doing the things because life just happens. In this podcast I'll share some tips and tricks around how to use your time to finally get to the things that are important to you.

I've been learning so much about myself recently, especially in regards to my patterns around sadness and despair. And, believing I have a choice in how I manifest my reality, I think I would prefer to do things differently moving forward.

This is one of my favorite medicine songs I've been learning. Thank you Ananda for allowing me the privilege of recording it and sharing it!

My friend Tosha is helping me learn some new songs, and you are welcome to learn and sing along with me 🎶

Ah the night before the big leap - it typically always feels like this: self-doubt, the internal judgment loop, fear of leaving the safety of my comfort zone. Yup. I'm in it and I thought you might enjoy a glimpse into the true nature of my "lucky" adventure as it's unfolding. My yoga training with www.thekulacollective.com starts tomorrow!
