Thus, it's time for us to discuss where the 'sustainability' trend is going. Read on the blog. Watch on YouTube.

Feeling misunderstood, disconnected, unsupported, or like others do not approve of your healing journey? Let's talk about how isolating inner work, a spiritual awakening, or choosing to live life on your own accord truly can be. In today's episode, I will be reflecting on the loneliness that comes from being in recovery, rediscovering, and/or reclaiming your true being. At a time where we can be our most vulnerable or intrigued by having a companion, this episode is intended to help you work through isolation and loneliness (if you find yourself in a similar scenario) with non-judging, check-in questions and the takeaways of spending time alone. Unironically, these takeaways could also be lessons applied to quarantine.
Questions to Consider:
Does being alone hurt or inspire you?
Is it time to reach out & let someone know how you feel?
If so, what networks or support groups can you connect with?
If not, is there something to be learned from spending time on your own?
Name 3 healthy ways to address feelings of loneliness.

Are you waiting for a sign, or waiting for variable factors to perfectly align before taking a Leap of Faith... much less, to take practical steps towards achieving your dreams? Today's solocast is all about my entrepreneurial journey and how it was transformed by spirituality. It is also a cautionary tale about ego and fear, if you are open to receiving it.
Questions to Consider:
How do you respond to fear?
If you knew you would be supported in confronting them, how would you face your fears?
Are old fears or judgments coming up for you now in this present moment?
If so, how can you work through them or use them to service you Greatest & Highest good, along with the Greatest & Highest good of all?

Happy Holidays to all Beloved beings!
As they say—whoever “they” are—comparison is the thief of joy. Only a social media detox can make you hyperaware of the comparison, self-exploitation, and workaholism prominent in the digital age. Let's talk about why you may want to take a break from social media to find your calm in the chaos of life.
Questions to Consider:
Can privacy and social media coexist?
Can boundaries and social media coexist?
Can positive mental health and social media coexist?
Think about it for yourself, especially if you want to have an online or social media-based career!
