In this very first episode, I share a personal story about finding the courage to do what you are called to do. I am called to teach people how to tap into inner wisdom so they can access their highest self and unleash their joy. Interestingly, it took putting my butt into a single-seat kayak and paddling over 300 miles up the West Coast of British Columbia before I finally said, “alright, alright, I’m listening, I’ll do it.” That’s the thing about that voice of inner wisdom, it often nudges you down a path that feels uncomfortable. If you want to have a life you absolutely love, that is full of meaning, purpose, and joy, then you need to learn how to lean into and trust that inner voice of wisdom. It will never steer you wrong. And that’s what this podcast is all about. Learning how to access your highest self. Finding courage is a big theme and one we’ll come back to again. For now, I hope you’ll enjoy this little story on how I found mine. Resources: It means so much to us that you listened to our podcast!
