EP176: What Are You Noticing?

When we slow down and check our reality, we get to tap into our internal world and also check how we’re viewing our external world. The way we view our world influences the actions we choose. This episode talks about becoming more aware of what we notice.

EP175: Vulnerable Ebb & Flow

Many of us don’t know what’s going on in each other’s lives. Even conversations with our closest friend don’t cover everything we’re handling. It’s not that people need to know everything, rather, it helps to be more intentional about sharing where we’re at in life. This episode talks about how to embrace a vulnerable ebb and flow.

EP174: Authentic Connections

True alignment is when our thoughts and intentions match with how we show up. That’s the main reason why “actions speak louder than words.” When we show up authentically, we can create more honest connections with ourselves and others. This episode talks about authentic connections.
