EP46: When to Say Yes to Feel Purposefully Aligned With Don Khouri
Actions that are truly aligned with our goals keep us purposely productive. In this episode, I chat with Don Khouri about productivity processes and when to say “Yes”, so that we can continue to choose actions that serve us in our journey.

During this episode, I give real examples that can help you tap into your highest Joy Frequency. To keep my highs, I rely on self-reflection, my inner compass, and the freedom of expression. When you learn to commit to your True Stride, you realize what energetic highs elevate your Joy Frequency. Let me share what brings me joy, so that you can discover your themes for yourself.
EP44: How Do You Elevate Human Connection in Your Life With Gena Cox?
At the core, people simply want to be acknowledged as being another human. Humans like to belong and to form a connection over numerous similarities: likes, quirks, or goals. Ironically, there is sometimes a gap in how humans connect when trying to empathize with the human experience. Could it be that each individual is mentally wrapped in their own world? Could it be that individual human experience varies so much that the likeness in the larger human experience is hard to see? To explore this idea of human connection, I discuss being human, showing up authentically, and tapping into empathy with Dr. Gena Cox.
EP43: What Signals Are You Sending As You Move Forward?
If you send out signals, you are sending a message. I realize that communicating the choice to walk in our True Stride requires us to be comfortable with being more visible and more vocal about our authentic intentions. It makes you wonder which ways you can be more visible and vocal in your life to send the most natural message. What signals are you sending out, and how do you feel about them? How are you making yourself more visible?
EP42: Appreciating Support and Paying It Forward
Walking in our True Stride with help from a support system connects to what we are saying “yes” to and what we are saying “no” to in everyday life. Discover what choices you can make to say “yes” to fully use and feel the help from your support system. When you do receive help, find ways to show gratitude, and pay it forward to someone else. Sharing will be natural, since you have more to give others when you are taken care of. What choices and actions are you making to move closer to what you’re dreaming of?
EP41: What Lessons Are You Discovering for Yourself?
Learning is a continuous process in life. In any given moment, we come across lessons that offer information or a mindset to guide us closer to our True Stride. When we go on a Wise Walk, we are discovering what we find to be true for ourselves. If we can be aware of this knowledge, we can apply the lessons into our daily life.
EP40: How Trusting Your Inner Compass Leads to Transformation
In this episode, I reflect on my own transformation, and why I started this podcast. I went from a successful corporate career to authentically sharing my value in a way that made my heart happy. In between reminiscing and being grateful, I also talk about what I’m most excited for going forward.
When I think about my life, my intuition around teaching and empowering those around me seems obvious. Inspired by my own transformation, I encourage you to honor your heart to rhythmically move forward in all that you do. We can all work on trusting our inner compass more. What transformation is calling you?
EP39: Release to Make Space for What You Want
For this episode, we’ll dig into moon cycles that can be a gentle reminder to us in our journey. I personally feel that engaging those cycles also reminds me of the way I intend to show up. I choose what to release and what intentions to set. Each month I make progress based on where I am in life, what I want, and where I want to go.
EP38: Ways to Align Your Thoughts to Experience More Energetic Highs
During our Wise Walk, we should be mindful of: Who and what are you inviting into your life, and how does that make you feel? What choices are you making to intentionally attract what you want? What actions support your energetic highs? What actions can you take today to share or appreciate someone else’s energy? How can we make energetic highs a consistent experience in our day?
Take time in your day to make the intention for the day. Stepping into that space is worth it as you build momentum, which makes taking action much easier. Think of what ways you are projecting and aligning yourself for the universe to provide what you imagine. Let’s be intentional in the energy we are engaging and exchanging.
EP37: Mid Year Check-In on Your Word for The Year
After the last episode about challenges, I realized that midyear is a great time to reflect on the word we set for the year to illuminate what was important and what we really wanted to accomplish by the end of 2021. As a reminder, my word for the year is Heart Vibe and our word serves as a mantra to realign and stay focused on how we want to show up for ourselves every day and month that passes in 2021.
