#26 - The Possibility and Power in Saying “No”

This is the last episode for the first season of the podcast! One lesson I keep learning is the power and possibility of saying a simple, “No.” I’m talking about saying NO to things that don’t serve you or bring you joy. Sometimes we psych ourselves out, and get suck into FOMO, right? But your authentic, empowered NO will always move you in the right direction.

#25 - Woman: You are the PRIZE

This one is for all my sisters who experience some version of (womp womp!) low self-esteem. As women, in my experience, um--we all kinda have it at least a little bit.

So please turn on this episode, look in the mirror and admit that you are a PRIZE. You are worth winning.

#7 - Should You Give Up On Your Dreams?

Today, I’m tackling a question from David: “Does rejection of a plan in life mean that it wasn’t meant for us?” I mean, we all face rejection, but when we experience it over and over, and life gets painful and hard, we need to pause and say “Is this worth it to me?” Suffering and pain should not be a constant, ongoing part of your dreams.

What is the thing you are avoiding? Is there something in your life you don’t want to talk about or dig in to? It could be a situation, a relationship, or maybe even a feeling you don’t want to feel.

We might actually begin to feel some relief. Don’t be afraid to face the hard stuff, crack the door open, and peek inside! What might you find?
