In this episode, I discuss my experience with imposter syndrome and how it shows up for me. I have been hesitant to start my book analysis portion of the podcast for plenty of reasons but the primary reason was that I kept questioning my ability to actually execute my own plan. Even though I have stacks of books with annotations and sticky notes, I feared that I wouldn't be able to execute my own vision. My next episodes will feature more book analysis once I start back and I will weave in personal stories and experiences. 

I also discussed how I have always been uneasy to call myself a creative even though my creative side is what I love most about myself and what I enjoy. The uneasiness stemmed from not truly stepping into my own art and creation or believing that I had to ability to be a creator of something. 

Lastly, I discussed how frequently I allowed worrying to steal my joy and energy, especially when I had so much more to be thankful for than frustrated with. It hindered me from fully seeing myself and what I was capable of. When you're in "go mode," it becomes hard to pause and truly reflect on yourself and what you have done.

Last week, rather than drop an episode on Buzzsprout, Spotify and Apple Podcast, I dropped a Youtube Video. To keep consistency, I decided to share a few poems from my collection before I switch the flow for the rest of the year. Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, I discussed learning how to celebrate the small things. I talked about my scarcity mindset that stemmed from my experiences and how it kept me from truly seeing the joy in things. Once I shifted my mindset,  things began to flow to me because I made space to receive joy and be able to feel it entirely.

This episode explores my internal battle of trying to be a good person. Everyone tells you to strive to be kind and just, but no one really talks about the internal struggle when issues don't have a moral base. No one tells you how to navigate situations when the only guide you have is you, and how to be firm in your own intuition and discernment. Tune in and share fi you've ever experienced this.

Born from an idea that I had for a full episode, “ Block out the noise” is a short snippet of me explaining how hard it can be to hear your own voice when you’re allowing other people’s voices to drown out yours. Tune in and feel free to share if you’ve ever experienced something similar.
