In this episode, I talk about the dreaded yet silent fear many of us have: being seen and perceived. Reflecting on two years of sharing my heart & soul with the world, I outline the five most important things you need to know in beginning to listen to what your heart calls you to.

We discuss the identify shifts that happen when you start showing up authentically and what I’ve learned about living more truthfully. We touch on guilt, money, intuition, and the chaos that comes with committing to a vision that only you can see.

On the Two Year Anniversary episode of FSO, we sit with what it really means to do the thing you know you need to do and let your truth lead: even when it’s messy, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when you want to hide and have spent your whole life doing so.

Two years ago, when I dropped this podcast - I did so out of just a little inkling of desire. I was 23, working full time in Tech, knowing if I didn't do something with my creative energy, I would go insane.

And two years later, here I am: listening to this authentic calling has become my full time job, I've made a deep commitment to honoring a life in pursuit of the expressive truth -- and I'm here to tell the tales along the way.

If you’re navigating the resistance of taking up the space your heart calls you to take up, waiting to be ready to create instead of consume, wondering how to begin, or just love Figuring Sh!t Out (thank you, I love YOU!!!!) -- this episode is for you.
