If you're like me and lots of other beautiful humans on this planet, you might think healing isn't all that important (whether it be from something physical, mental, spiritual, familial, ancestral, WHATEVER - healing is healing).

You might see healing is something you'll prioritize WHEN circumstances are just right, life looks a certain way, we reach "X" goal first, etc.

OR you might see healing as selfish. That all you need to think about is others and being productive/adding to society in a practical, tangible, visible way.

But let's take a different perspective, huh?

Your healing creates change. Your healing creates an energetic vibration that ripples out into the whole of humanity, the whole of the universe, to raise the vibration. Your healing is an inspiration to others - you show others what is possible. You get to share your healing journey to help others heal. Your healing makes room for EVEN MORE of your sweet soul to flood in to your beautiful physical form.

Healing aligns you with your soul path. Healing puts you on one of the highest timelines for you - which is one of the highest timelines for ALL.

YES - what is best for you is best for all (abundance mindset, my loves!)

Wow. Totally different perspective, huh?

That's what this episode is all about and I hope it can shift your mindset, sweet souls. Please prioritize yourself, your growth, your healing.

We need you. Specifically you. Your soul magic is essential to the healing of the world.

I hope you enjoy, my sweet, awesome people! Let me know what you think. And don't forget to find me on...

Anyone else out there like to take "control" of life...? Hello! Raising my hand here...(Oh, and I put control in quotes because control is just an illusion. Silly humans.)

As we enter the new year, I've been thinking (of course, as is everyone else!) about 2022 and what I want 2023 to be about.

Well, I like to choose words for my years instead of resolutions, and my words for 2023 are: surrender, trust, & release. The release is about control.

Through 2022, I dove deep into eating disorder recovery. And the two words that kept repeating in my mind were surrender & trust. I had to surrender and trust both my body and the process.

This led to me then thinking about releasing control. Surrendering fully. In more ways that just with the eating disorder. I realized how much trying to control life had been a big theme for...well, as long as I can remember! But that is all changing. And I realized something, and that something is what this episode is about.

When we release HUMAN control, we actually put control back in the hands of the soul. Where it belongs.

And our soul is in touch with the Universe, Universal Wisdom. We receive all the guidance we need from the soul, through our intuition.

And our soul will never lead us astray.

So, friends, that is what I am talking about today - letting go of control to actually have true control. It's a good one.

Story time! In this episode, I talk about how I came to merge "different" parts of me - eating disorder recovery, fitness, spirituality, purpose coaching - into one. How I merged my different websites and social media accounts into one. 

And why.

The why is because I am a multifaceted human and each part of me & my life is a part of what I came to this planet to do - just like I tell you all! 

How can I preach that and not live it myself?! 

I fragmented myself out of fear, scarcity, and thinking about what I "should" do or what other people do.

But not anymore.

In this episode, you get to hear the story of how I got here, how I came about changing and shifting, and where we're headed from here!

Thank you for being on this journey with me, sweet souls.

You know what most humans feel from time to time? Fear.

Some of us feel it more than others. That just depends on our unique brains, life experiences, genetics, etc...

But we all have a choice - to keep listening to fear or to choose different. To choose the path of love and purpose and surrender and trust and magic.

Let's choose that, huh? That's what this podcast episode is all about.

I talk about my own personal experiences with fear, how I've been listening to it lately, and how I'm choosing to go a different way.

And fear is okay! It's totally okay if you're listening to it. It's a process. One you have to figure out for yourself.

No matter what - no shame.

We can use whatever tools that work to help propel us into the timeline we're desiring.

The life we know is possible. The life we dream about.

The person that we long to be. Because, hey...that's who we really are, right? Yup! And we dream of that life because that is what is meant for us.

VISUALIZE - picture it all clearly in your mind. Then? Write it ALL down - keep coming back to it. Immersing yourself in it. Living there ALREADY.

Use something like Pinterest or a vision board to bring your visualization to LIFE! In pictures, apart from words.

And you can even make lists apart from the visualization piece - just list out EVERYTHING you can think about that describe your most magical timeline, your dream life, your higher self, your soul...keep on adding to that list. Over and over, forever and ever.

Embody.

Put these into action.

This is powerful and YOU are powerful, sweet soul. 

Live the life that is for YOU!

Intuition can be likened to a radio station. It is a "place" of messages from God, our Higher Self, & all of the other spiritual beings always giving us guidance. We ALL have intuition (yes, you do, too!), but it just depends on whether or not we are listening to it. OR if we can even hear it! 

Intuitive guidance always leads to the best. 

In today's episode, I break down...

  • What intuition is
  • Ways we can strengthen our intuition
  • How we can more clearly hear intuitive messages
  • The role that intuition plays in my 1:1 coaching

Hey, you might get out of alignment with your sweet soul...your path, your truth, your purpose...

It's okay! No worries. You know what? You can get right back into alignment.

No progress lost. Just, "Oops! Let me refocus..."

When we get out of alignment, we can have TONS of things we can do to get back - things that feel like us, that remind us of our truth, that are in alignment with our soul and what we came here to do and who we came here to be.

I give a couple examples of mine in this episode, explain how easy it is to get back into alignment, and give some visuals for this whole process.

What's in your toolkit, sweet friend?

Ya know those tools you can use to get to know yourself...? Personality typing systems. Astrology. Human Design. Etc.

They're so cool! But...we can use them to box ourselves in. Limit ourselves. 

We can think that's all we are. We can change ourselves to match.

But y'all, they can just be tools! They can be fun. They can show us more of who we truly are, but they can't tell us EVERYTHING about ourselves! They can help us connect with others. They can help us celebrate the things about ourselves that are unique.

But you are way too multifaceted to be defined by these tools. Not even ALL of them combined can sum up the totality of your magic.

I know you have big dreams. I have big dreams.

I don't care what you're dreams are (I mean, I DO because I know they're awesome...but I mean it doesn't matter what they are - this message still applies).

When we have dreams of any kind, we often try to figure out "how" they are going to come about.

We get SUPER excited for them, but can quickly spiral into stress and worry if we can't see the exact steps that will make them a reality.

That's been true for me with my big dreams about coaching, my businesses, where I want to live, traveling...

And each time I get all kinds of stressed...I hear this voice that says to stop thinking about the how. The how is taken care of. Trust. Have faith. Get into alignment with my soul. Let it flow.

Whew...I'm in it right here with y'all! And I want this episode to be a sweet encouragement.

Let's all release the "how," go with the flow, trust, jump, have faith...

We've got this.

If you are interested in 1:1 coaching, let's do this thing!

What is wrong with you? Ah ha! Trick question. Nothing! Nothing at all.

Friends, can we take what we THINK is wrong with us and reframe it/them? 

Every little detail of us...they each contain magic. They are all a part of why we are here. Our purpose. 

In this episode, I encourage you to do just that! I go through a couple of examples with something I USED to think was wrong with me: anxiety.

I talk about how I've reframed my experiences, the gifts I've found in anxiety, and how it has helped me.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU.

Y'all...we don't celebrate enough in life! Especially ourselves.

Do you know how magical it is to celebrate our wins, the things we love about ourselves, the ways we can change the world...?

Celebration inspires others. Celebration is strength. Celebration is fuel.

Celebrate yourself and your progress, even if no one else does! 

When you come from a pure, loving energy...people know. 

Your celebration is powerful. Magical. A certain way you can change the world.

Our environment (everything that surrounds us) impacts how we feel, no doubt. But did you know that it can help us live out the purpose of being ourself? In this episode, I talk all about how our environment impacts the way we feel, how it can get us into the best and brightest vibrations, how those vibrations make it easier to be aligned with our soul, and how our environment can help us stay aligned with who we are and living that out to the fullest. See how you can shift your environment, friends! Let it support you.

When people don't jive with you...they don't like you...they don't want to work with you...you trigger them...etc....did you know that is also a part of your purpose?

What?! Yeah. For real. 

For example...

You can trigger something in someone they need to work on. They might feel a bit of anger or annoyance around you, for whatever reason, but then later go on to look at a situation or perspective differently. You might help them pinpoint the types of people they DO want to be around. And more...

So, you're NOT wrong in being you and having people not like you.

That could be the exact thing you're meant to be doing.

Always be you.

Well, folks, it IS as simple as that.

"But wait...surely there MUST be something I have to DO? Isn't purpose about DOING?"

Sure, we're going to DO things! That's life. That's living. That's being human.

But...it all starts with BEING you. 100% you. In alignment with your beautiful, precious soul. 

Bring you to WHATEVER you're doing and you're living out your purpose. AND as you do that...you are led to what you are MEANT to be doing. And to your people. And to where you're supposed to be. And to all of the other amazing things meant specifically FOR YOU.

Whoa, this excites me. You'll feel my energy in this one, for sure! (Okay, my energy will be in ALL my episodes...haha I can't contain this energy!)

Does style seem like a little, inconsequential thing? No no no, my friends. Not at all! YOUR style matters - clothes, accessories, decorations, music, etc. 

Your style is a form of communication. It tells the world who you are without words. It is one way you embody your soul essence.

Expression feels good. Expression can change others in ways we cannot imagine. Expression reminds us of who we are and keeps us on the path of living our truth. Expression attracts our people to us. Expression in style helps us practice in order to express our truth in other, bigger areas of life. 

I have my own journey of NOT embracing my style, which is what started me on this realization path of how important style is for embodying our truth and living out our purpose. 

It's all connected.

Well, this week, I went a little more public with this whole email-based, purpose coaching thing I'm doing. Oh my gosh y'all, that felt scary! But how the heck am I going to have people find me that can work with me if I don't put myself out there?! So, that drove me to create THIS episode this week. I had a different one planned...but I really wanted to explain to you all how this email coaching came about. Where my inspiration came from. A little bit about what it is (more can be found on my website!). I hope you can feel my energy and excitement coming through. It's a little all over the place, but in the most beautiful way! Because it's coming from my enthusiasm for what I'm starting here. 

Thank you for being here, my awesome people! 

As always, let me know what you think!

We humans think we know it all, don't we? Well, we don't! Want to know why that's awesome? In this week's episode, I go over 3 reasons why not knowing everything is actually amazing. First, it reminds us of how important it is to share our stories, no matter what. Second, it helps us follow our intuitive guidance because we never know how our actions or being are going to impact others and/or the world as a whole. And third, pretty much the same as the last point, but we don't know how following our intuitive guidance is going to impact US. Enjoy, my friends! And lean into the mystery.

Is this your time? Yes, yes it is. 

Today, I'm talking about one of my favorite verses in the Bible, Esther 4:14. While I do not strictly subscribe to just the Christian faith anymore, there is still so much beauty and wisdom to be found in the Bible. That being said...

Queen Esther was in a position of POWER. Her decisions would impact a great many people. She could stay silent no longer. She was made for that exact time. It was her time to claim and step into the power she held.

And guess what? YOU have an immense amount of power, too. Yes, I promise. AND you were made for such a time as this. All that this world needs right now? That's why you're here. You're part of the solution. Exactly who you are, each little detail, and all the many gifts you hold. You are magic, and this world needs you.

This episode is all about that. Hyping you up, encouraging you, helping you understand the power you hold.
