Listen Later

"What if the key to feeling more alive and inspired isn't about doing more—but experiencing life more deeply?"


In this solo episode, Barb explores how her tendency to analyze and interpret life can create an invisible barrier between her and a direct experience of life.


From the cold waters of Scotland to hiking adventures—uncover how shifting from observation to direct experience can revolutionize your relationship with life. A surprising lesson from a cold-water swimming lesson reveals a profound truth: we unconsciously distance ourselves from our own experience—and in doing so, we lose access to the richness of the moment.


During the episode, Barb explores the gift and value of


✅ Moving beyond the overthinking and constant analysis

✅ Transforming your relationship with uncertainty and discomfort

✅ Accessing deeper levels of inspiration, intuition, and creativity

✅ Navigating challenges with more grace and less resistance

✅ Reconnecting with the natural flow of life instead of fighting against it


If you've been feeling disconnected from your work, struggling with inspiration, or sensing there's a richer, more alive way to experience life, this episode will show you how to shift from managing life to fully meeting it.


Join Barb for a powerful exploration of what becomes possible when we stop controlling and allow life to carry us, just like water.
