COMING HOME TO YOU with Margarita Rose - You've Been Expected

S2E32: Cup of Awakening - The Real Cost Wasn't the Money. The Real Cost Would Have Been Abandoning Myself What if the most expensive choice isn’t always the one that costs more money? In this Cup of Awakening episode, Margarita Rose shares a real-life moment while booking a flight to Maine that revealed something deeper than travel logistics. She almost chose the cheaper, easier, more “reasonable” option, until she realized it would have cost her peace, joy, and self-trust. This episode explores the quiet ways we abandon ourselves in the name of being easy, flexible, supportive, or low-maintenance… and how resentment can sometimes be the part of us saying, “Hey, I mattered too.” Because the real cost wasn’t the extra money. The real cost would have been abandoning herself. In this episode, we explore: • Why resentment can be a messenger • How self-abandonment can hide inside “practical” choices • The difference between service and sacrifice • Why your desire gets to matter too • A simple heart-and-belly practice to help you pause before choosing • How to stop waiting for permission and start including yourself in the decision This is your reminder that choosing yourself doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like pausing long enough to ask: What do I actually want? And am I willing to let that matter? ✨ Join the SoulSpark Sisterhood Circle on Facebook, a space for women remembering who they are beneath the roles, expectations, and old patterns. facebook.com/groups/soulsparkfamilia If this cup stirred something in you, share it with a sister who needs the reminder that her desire gets to matter too. #CupOfAwakening #ComingHomeToYou #SoulSparkSanctuary #MargaritaRose #SelfAbandonment #Resentment #SelfTrust #WomenHealing #CycleBreaker #ServiceWithoutSacrifice #WhenHelpingHurts #SoulLedWomen #EmbodiedLeadership

S2E30: Trinity of Truth - Joy as Power with Danielle Longano What if joy isn't something you earn after life gets easier? In this powerful Trinity of Truth conversation, Margarita Rose sits down with Danielle Longano to explore joy through the lens of the mind, body, and soul. Together, they challenge the belief that joy is merely happiness or a reward for overcoming hardship. Danielle shares why joy is more like the blue sky above the clouds, always present, even when life feels heavy, uncertain, or painful. The conversation explores the difference between performed happiness and embodied joy, how limiting beliefs keep us disconnected from ourselves, and why what we focus on ultimately shapes the life we create. You'll discover practical ways to reconnect with joy through gratitude, self-acknowledgment, intentional pauses, nature, and conscious choice. Most importantly, you'll be reminded that joy is not about pretending everything is okay. It's about remembering who you are beneath the noise, the fear, the expectations, and the stories you've been carrying. If you've been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation is your invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember that the blue sky is still there. In this episode: • The difference between happiness and true joy • Why performed joy leaves us exhausted • The power of pausing before reacting • How thoughts become beliefs, and beliefs become reality • Daily practices that build lasting joy • Why consistency matters more than intensity • The "win-win" principle for relationships and life • How nature helps us reconnect with ourselves • Joy as a compass back to purpose and remembrance Because coming home to you is not a destination...it's a devotion.

S2E29: Joy As Power - Soul Week

What if your joy isn’t random?

What if the things that lit you up as a child were never silly, childish, impractical, or meaningless?

What if they were clues?

In this Soul Week episode of the Coming Home To You Sparkcast, Margarita Rose explores Joy as Power through the lens of the soul, not as something fluffy or optional, but as a compass back to who you came here to be.

So many of us knew what lit us up before the world told us who to become.

Maybe it was dancing.

Art.

Music.

Nature.

Animals.

Writing.

Helping others.

Asking big questions.

Building things.

Performing.

Exploring.

Creating.

Caring.

But somewhere along the way, survival, expectations, money, trauma, family pressure, culture, or fear taught us to disconnect from the very things that made us feel alive.

This episode is an invitation to remember.

Not to chase purpose as another pressure.

Not to force yourself into clarity.

But to gently ask:

What used to light me up?

What still calls my name?

What did I love before I learned to be practical?

What joy have I placed on pause?

Because your joy may be more than a feeling.

It may be information.

It may be remembrance.

It may be your soul whispering:

“This way. Come closer. This matters. This is you.”

In this episode, we explore:

• Why joy is connected to purpose and remembrance
• How childhood passions can reveal deeper soul clues
• Why survival often disconnects us from what lights us up
• The difference between chasing purpose and remembering yourself
• How joy becomes a compass back to truth
• Why your inner child may already know what your adult self forgot
• How to follow your Joy Spark without pressure or perfection

If you’ve been feeling lost, disconnected, stuck, or unsure of your next step, this conversation is your reminder:

You didn’t lose yourself.

You adapted.

And now, you get to remember.

Because coming home to you is not a destination.

It’s a devotion.

✨ Reflection Question:
What did you love before the world told you who to be?

S2E28: Joy as Power: the Body week

Coming Home to You Sparkcast: the Embodied Leader Series

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't fear...What if it's the absence of joy?

Fear Feels Responsible. Joy Feels Reckless. What if We've Been Listening to the Wrong Voice?

In this powerful Cup of Awakening episode, Margarita Rose shares the unexpected lesson that transformed her life during a leadership program when she found herself frozen by self-doubt, fear, perfectionism, and old stories of not being enough.

Despite committing to a vision that lit her up, she spent months doing nothing. Not because she lacked motivation. Not because she wasn't capable. But because fear sounded practical. Fear sounded responsible. Fear sounded wise. Then one simple shift changed everything. Instead of chasing results, she committed to 33 joyful experiences, and discovered that joy wasn't a reward waiting at the finish line. It was the fuel that helped her move.

In this episode you'll discover: ✨ Why fear often disguises itself as logic ✨ How old survival patterns pull us away from our purpose ✨ Why joy is not selfish, childish, or irresponsible ✨ How joy becomes a compass back to yourself ✨ The surprising connection between joy, courage, creativity, and resilience ✨ How to identify your unique JoySpark ✨ Why joy doesn't just transform you, it creates ripples that transform others If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, this episode is an invitation to stop asking what feels safe and start asking what makes you feel alive. Because joy isn't just an emotion. It may be the very thing that's been trying to guide you home all along. ASK YOURSELF: What lights you up? What makes you lose track of time? What would you do even if nobody paid you? Share your JoySpark in the comments.

S2E27: Cup of AwakeningWhat If Your Joy Is the Thing That’s Been Saving You?

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t fear…What if it’s the absence of joy?

In this Cup of Awakening episode, Margarita Rose explores why joy is not a fluffy emotion, a reward, or something you have to earn after you finally “get it right.”Joy is fuel.Joy is guidance.

Joy is movement.Joy is your inner compass leading you back home to yourself. Through a vulnerable story from her leadership journey, Margarita shares how fear, old stories, and subconscious beliefs convinced her to freeze on a vision project that once lit her up. Instead of following the joy spark of connection, learning, interviewing, and creating, her mind began asking:

Who do you think you are?

Why would anyone say yes?

What if you fail?

What if you’re not enough?

But when she shifted her project into 33 joyful experiences, everything changed. She stopped looking for evidence that life was hard and started looking for evidence of joy.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why fear often sounds responsible, practical, and mature

• How joy becomes a nervous system reset and creative fuel

• Why your Joy Spark may be the thing you keep talking yourself out of

• How to recognize joy in your body

• Why joy helps you move through fear, doubt, and old patterns

• The difference between living from fear and living from aliveness

This is your reminder that joy is not something you wait for.

Joy is something you choose. One smile. One spark. One courageous moment at a time. Because joy doesn’t save your life just because it makes you happy. Joy saves your life because it helps you move.

✨ Reflection Question:

Are you living from your fear… or from your Joy Spark?

Sip it slowly.
