  • 82. Guided Gratitude Meditation and Visualization

    This week, I am giving you a gift that I've only ever shared in private settings like my journaling workshops or Emotionally Empowered membership. I walk you through a 9 minute guided meditation and visualization for gratitude. 

    If you'd like to journal after this, journal on:

    1. What are 3 moments that I'm grateful for? What are the specifics of the moment?
    2. What was happening? Who was I with? Take a minute for each memory to re-experience it.
    3. What are 3 things that I want to create in my life? What are the specifics of this thing?What actions am I taking? Take a minute for each experience to feel into it

                  Social media keeps reminding me of a big moment in my life that happened 4 years ago. In this episode, I share how different my life is since then: going from married, pregnant and moving from Maine to North Carolina TO moving back up to New York, getting a divorce and starting 2 businesses.

                  I then share the 4 biggest emotions I’ve faced since then & how I processed them. 

                  I also touch on the first time I remember using my voice in a powerful way and the unexpected (not positive) outcome.

                  Journal Prompts:

                  1. What has happened in the past 4 years in YOUR life?!
