Hey Bliss'ners! In this episode of Bliss'n Up, I’m battling an annoying little cold—one that just won’t take the hint and leave. This got me thinking about how sometimes, no matter how well we prepare or how many right choices we make, life still throws curveballs our way. I dive into the frustration of doing all the "right" things and still getting knocked down, and how this ties into a bigger lesson about fear, failure, and obedience to life’s unexpected callings. Sometimes we’re drawn toward a path we didn’t necessarily choose, but the question is—do we resist, or do we step into the unknown? Let’s explore what it means to answer that pull, even when it challenges our comfort zones. Tune in for some deep reflections, real talk, and maybe even a little sniffly wisdom!

In this episode of Bliss'n Up, I expand upon the theme of ‘Magnetizing March’ and explore the power of personal magnetism versus traditional manifestation. While manifestation focuses on specific outcomes, magnetism is about embodying the energy that naturally attracts what we desire. I break down three core principles for cultivating magnetism: creating belief while releasing entitlement, directing focus where energy should flow, and fostering proximity to people who embody the life we aspire to. Through insightful stories and practical examples, I share how shifting from forcing results to becoming the force can transform relationships, career success, and overall fulfillment. Tune in to discover how to harness your inner magnetism and attract the life you truly desire!

Welcome back Bliss'ners! In this episode, I explore the topic of connection—what it truly means and how we often confuse community for real connection. Inspired by a conversation with a client going through a divorce, I explore the three key types of connection: with others, with ourselves, and with something bigger than us. I also break down five common 'connection interrupters' that create disconnection in our lives, from lack of authenticity to unmet expectations. Through personal stories—including how I formed deep bonds despite an unconventional family dynamic—I share insights on how to nurture true connection and live a more meaningful, blissful life. Tune in to reflect on the connections in your life and how you can strengthen them.

In this episode of Bliss'n Up, I’m wrapping up February and setting the tone for March with my monthly reflection practice. February was all about building strong foundations—whether in health, mindset, or daily habits—and I share my experiences, including a 21-day challenge that reignited my love for nutrition.

Now, as we step into March, I introduce the theme Magnetize March. We explore the power of attraction, shifting from a mindset of struggle and force to one of flow and alignment. I share an inspiring story about how a simple mindset shift led to effortless transformation, and I invite you to reflect on what you’re attracting in your life. Are you pulling in what serves you or repelling your dreams? Let’s nurture the energy of magnetism together.

In this episode of Bliss'n Up, I share an update of the transformative journey of my sister, who faced severe health challenges due to obesity and diabetes. After a critical hospitalization and a daunting prognosis, she embarked on a path to healing with the support of a dedicated health coach. This experience underscored the profound impact of coaching and the power of synchronicity in our lives.

Hey, Bliss'ners! In this episode of Bliss'n Up, I’m diving into what happens when we fall off track—when we’re in flow, and suddenly, we’re not. I’ve been there recently, feeling a little stuck and frustrated, and last week, I shared three mindset shifts that helped me regain momentum. But mindset is only part of the equation. This week, I’m sharing three action-based habits that have been game-changers in keeping me aligned and moving forward. From the power of movement and its “hope molecules” to the deep impact of coaching, I’ll break down practical ways to support yourself when life throws you off course. Because let’s be real—setbacks happen, but they don’t have to define us. Tune in for strategies to help you reset, refocus, and embrace the messy, beautiful process of growth!

Hey Bliss'ners! This week, I struggled with a serious case of "podcast block." After being in a great flow, I suddenly found myself procrastinating, and life threw a lot my way—celebrating my son's birthday, dealing with a family loss, and just trying to keep up. It reminded me of an old pattern I’ve been working hard to outgrow: the fire drill mentality of last-minute scrambling. But instead of beating myself up, I used this as an opportunity to reflect on how setbacks and relapses are part of growth. Whether it's improving time management, strengthening a relationship, or building better habits, progress isn’t linear. In this episode, I share my three-step approach to navigating these moments. If you’ve ever felt like you were making great strides only to hit a roadblock, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about how to move forward with grace!

Hey Bliss'ners! In this episode of Bliss’n Up, I’m diving deep into what it really means to lay the foundation for a blissful life. February is Foundation February, a time to be intentional about the structures that support our well-being—whether in relationships, mindset, wellness, or purpose. I explore the power of language in shaping our experience, the magic of romanticizing our journey, the importance of continuous growth, and the profound realization that our purpose is simply to be. I also share personal stories, insights from Marisa Peer and Marcus Aurelius, and an exercise to shift your perspective on life’s challenges. Let’s clear the skies so we can fully witness those fleeting yet powerful sparks of bliss.

Welcome to episode 38 of Bliss'n Up! This week, I’m reflecting on the incredible feedback I received from you all about last week's episode—it truly warmed my heart to hear how it resonated. Your messages remind me why I do this, so thank you!

In today’s episode, I dive into the transformative practice of journaling. I share three types of journals I’ve been keeping that have profoundly impacted my life: a success file to celebrate daily wins, a synchronicity journal to capture magical, meaningful moments, and Emily P. Freeman’s Next Right Thing Journal for thoughtful reflection. I explain how these practices create a lifestyle of reflection and offer actionable ways for you to start your own journaling journey.
