This is for everyone who ever said they weren't creative. I myself thought that basically my entire life, and it wasn't until about 6 months ago when I opened myself up to the possibility that maybe that isn't true.

Want to know what that did? It opened up an entirely new world! New possibilities, more curiosity, more wonder. New beauties and joy in life.

So come with me, lets explore unboxing creativity together.

See you in the episode!

This is a good thing for us...what is given overnight can be taken overnight. Those selling this dream are doing just that...selling it.

I want you to continue on your path becoming the person that achieves everything your heart desires, which is why I am telling you this so that you don't give up when it doesn't happen day 1.

I need you to continue on.

Not for me...for you.

I love you!

The life that you want/desire requires that you show up for it with actions, or else it CANNOT show up for you.

This week on Blowing The Lid, I’m diving into a pattern so many of us fall into without realizing it: questioning ourselves out of our own dreams.

I break down the difference between helpful clarifying questions and the endless loop of overthinking that keeps you from taking action. I share my personal experience with staying in “strategy mode” for years, and how shifting into movement — even when I didn’t have all the answers — completely changed my confidence, my joy, and my momentum.

You’ll hear me talk about:

• How over-questioning becomes self-sabotage

• Why answers show up after you start, not before

• What happens when you stop delaying and finally take the next step

• How to know when you’ve planned enough

• Why your dreams can’t leave the paper without you

• The synchronicities that confirm you're on the right path

If you’ve ever felt stuck between your desire and your action, this episode will help you reconnect with your power to begin.

Perfect for listeners searching for:
personal development podcast, self-growth motivation, confidence building, stop overthinking, take action, women’s personal growth, mindset coaching, becoming your best self.

In this episode of Blowing The Lid, I take you behind the scenes of what has been unfolding in my life lately — the manifestation, the miracles, the chaos, the becoming, and the unexpected assignment that changed everything.

It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve released an episode, not because I haven’t wanted to, but because life has been lifing in the most beautiful, wild, divinely orchestrated ways. And today, I’m sharing exactly what it has looked like for me to build the life I desire while also living it at the same time.

Because manifestation isn’t about sitting around waiting. It’s about living, trusting, moving, and acting on the pings God gives you.

• How I went from planning a full “rest day” to being divinely redirected into feeding 10 families in my community

• The moment I heard God say, “You’re not spending your money — you’re spending mine,” and how that shifted everything

• How a Shipt shopper named Angel confirmed I was exactly where I was meant to be

• The importance of trusting your intuition the moment it speaks — not after you’ve overthought it

• Why becoming the woman who can “hold the room” had to happen before I could host my first live podcast event

• What I learned from hosting my first live Blowing the Lid Podcast with 15 incredible women

• How timing, trust, and self-belief shape the version of you you’re growing into

• Why the downloads you receive require patience, courage, and action — not perfection

I created this episode because so many of us struggle with the in-between — the space between who we are and who we’re becoming. We want the dream life, the goals, the abundance, the success… but we forget to actually live while we’re building it.

We forget to trust ourselves.
We forget to listen to the pings.
We forget that our intuition is connected directly to Source.

But everything I’m experiencing right now — the miracles, the moments, the alignment — is because I’ve learned to walk hand-in-hand with my intuition and act when I’m called to act… even when it makes no sense and even when I’d rather stay in bed.

• Your intuition isn’t random — it’s direction.

• You don’t need permission to act on what’s been placed on your heart.

• Becoming the version of yourself who can hold the dream is part of the process.

• When God gives you a mission, He also provides the resources.

• Impact doesn’t require a crowd — it requires a willing heart.

• You can create magic in your community with exactly what you have today.

• You don’t have to have all the answers to start.

• Life expands when you trust yourself.

Summary
I flew to Nashville for STORY 2025—an immersive storytelling experience—and let myself feel everything: awe, laughter, tears, and a full-body reminder to protect wonder in a world obsessed with certainty. I share what I learned from Harris III’s work on wonder, the comedy genius of Pat Hazel (Seinfeld) and Dave Reynolds (Conan, Toy Story, The Emperor’s New Groove), and the exact moment I chose bravery over perfection and read my book-jacket intro to Pat right there in the hallway. The win wasn’t external validation; it was proving to myself that I show up.

What you’ll hear

• Why I’m reclaiming wonder (and how Googling everything can kill our joy)

• Harris III’s “Wonder Switch” idea and how I’m applying it in real life

• Legends in the writing room: Pat Hazel & Dave Reynolds—what I learned about comedy + voice

• The “invisible thread” moment that led me to read my book intro on the spot

• The difference between needing praise vs. needing bravery

• How pride in yourself becomes sacred fuel for the next opportunity

Key takeaways

• Wonder is creative oxygen—let yourself not know and imagine again.

• Bravery is a practice; the more you choose it, the more it chooses you.

• You don’t need permission to be who you already are—prove it to yourself.

• When you show up, the next aligned door appears (and you’re ready to walk through it).

• STORY 2025 (Nashville)

Have you ever thought about the fact that what you’re dreaming of is actually dreaming of you? In this powerful episode of Blowing The Lid, I share a mind-shifting truth: your desires, your art, your vision, and your dreams need YOU more than you need them.

So many of us get caught up in feeling unworthy, doubtful, or like what we want is too far out of reach. But what if the question isn’t “Am I worthy of it?” … but instead “Is it worthy of ME?”

This reframe changes everything.

When you stop chasing with desperate energy and start realizing that your gifts, your ideas, and your dreams are literally waiting for you to breathe life into them, you unlock freedom, creativity, and confidence.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why your dreams are incomplete without you
✨ How to shift from lack and self-doubt into empowerment
✨ The power of following your “pings” (those nudges that guide you)
✨ Why the journey matters more than instant results
✨ How creating becomes a symphony between you and your vision

Whether your “thing” is writing a book, starting a business, painting, launching a podcast, or simply stepping into a bigger version of yourself, this episode will remind you that you are the one the world is waiting for.

🔥 Key takeaway: What you want wants you even more. Without you, it can’t exist.

This week on Blowing the Lid, I’m diving into one of my favorite topics: being the one—the person who takes initiative when no one else will. From changing the toilet paper roll to wiping down the office microwave, the smallest actions have the biggest ripple effects in our homes, our workplaces, and our leadership.

I share stories about why taking responsibility for the “easy not to do” things instantly sets you apart as a leader, in business and in life. This isn’t just about chores—it’s about integrity, consistency, and showing the people around you that you lead by example.

I also give you real-world, practical examples of how these tiny shifts reduce stress, improve relationships, and make you the person others trust with more responsibility, promotions, or opportunities.

And—big news—I recap how AXA Solutions just won Best Booth at our very first trade show (yes, we went full Elf mode 🎥🍬), and I share details about my first ever live podcast recording happening November 8th in Fayetteville, NC with two powerhouse women you won’t want to miss.

If you’ve ever wondered how to set yourself apart in life, in business, and in relationships—the answer is simple: be the one.

✨ Key takeaways you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why small acts of initiative (like replacing the toilet paper roll) transform your leadership.

• How skipping small things often mirrors skipping big opportunities.

• The difference between leaders who say and leaders who do.

• Why responsibility is the true shortcut to growth, trust, and success.

• How this mindset shows up in business, teams, and even client experiences.

🎟️ Don’t forget: grab your ticket to my live podcast event, Rewriting the Rules, on November 8th in Fayetteville. You’ll hear inspiring stories from Nancy (Vagabond Coffee) and Cheryl Gleason (former property management company founder turned community leader).https://qrco.de/blowingthelid

This week, I’m sharing something a little different, Mario and I went to our very first Adam Sandler show, and honestly, it blew me away. I laughed, I cried, and I walked out of that arena reminded of what life is really about.

Here’s what I talk about in this episode:

• 🎭 How one night of comedy brought people from all walks of life together through laughter, tears, and love.

• 🌹 Why we have to give people their flowers now, not after they’re gone.

• 🤝 The beautiful legacy of friendship - watching Adam honor Chris Farley reminded me how powerful our relationships are.

• 🌟 Why living in alignment with who you are (instead of chasing what you think you “should” do) is the path to the life you actually want.

• 💡 My reminder for all of us: Live unapologetically, surround yourself with the people you love, and create moments that matter.

This episode is short, but it’s packed with love, gratitude, and some hard-hitting reminders. If you need a little inspiration, or just a reason to laugh and feel again - this one’s for you.
