Podcast Episodes

EP177: What Are You Manifesting?

Are you creating opportunities to attract what you seek? Sometimes we want a lot from life, but we should give those things space to come in. This episode talks about big and small manifestations.

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.

EP173: Honor Your Experience

Where in our lives can we move into an energy of acceptance vs expectation? Honestly, every experience starts with some expectation and idea of what we think will unfold. That can cause disappointment if we don’t know how to honor what’s happening. This episode talks about how to honor your experience.

EP172: Receive What We Need

Your intentions are a beacon of light signaling what you need and what you can give. Through that light, you attract and offer support as you cross paths with other people. This episode talks about receiving what we need.

EP171: Let Go, Feel Flow

A shift in perspective usually gives you more space to receive new energy. That shift can include letting go of what used to work for you. This episode talks about where we can let go and let it flow.

EP170: Pressure Off, Success On

Distractions and responsibilities can take attention away from keeping up with what’s best for yourself. Take back your power by setting yourself up for success ahead of time. This episode talks about turning pressure OFF and success ON.

EP169: Schedule Self-Care

As humans, we need a chance to recharge and pull away from the stressors of life. What are the routines that gift you a sense of joy? Can you be more intentional about adding those moments into life? This episode talks about scheduling self-care.

EP168: Defy Autopilot

All of us operate on autopilot when we get too busy. We have a bunch of figurative signs calling for us to pay attention, offering an alternative path. Sometimes we don’t like these detours, but in each moment you can appreciate all the signs around you. This episode talks about being present to defy autopilot.
