June 07, 2023 38: When you feel negative about how you look
We've all been there... we catch ourselves in a mirror or photo and wonder how in the hell we look the way we do. Our thoughts start to spiral from "I shouldn't have had a bagel for breakfast" all the way down to "I don't deserve my dreams because I feel shame and guilt for how I look", and we become more comfortable sharing those negative insights with other people. Today we chat about why those thoughts come up and how we can shift our perspective to have a healthier body image.

May 03, 202335: Listening to our Intuition
Have you ever had to make a huge life decision, but were struggling with making a choice? This is typically when our Intuition kicks in, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can hear it. In today's episode, we're talking about what Intuition is, why it's important, and what happens when we don't use it. Later in the episode, we also talk through action steps you can take TODAY in order to get in tune with your intuition! Remember, you can't have intuition without a lil faith in yourself and the Universe.
