Homeward: The Sovereign Business Podcast

When was the last time you started your day off by asking your body (and your soul) what it needed in the moment?

In this episode:

• Where do our preferences and patterns originate from? [ 1:23 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

• "Give your body the opportunity to tell you what it wants to tell you."

• "How can you honor your body and honor your sacred needs?"

• "Envision things a little bit differently if you need to; rediscover where you are now and what's going to be most life giving. Most of all… have the courage to explore."

There is nothing quite as peaceful or healing as watching the ocean waves crash into the shore on a perfect midsummer's day.

I stopped by the water for some reflection + healing of my own recently, and got to thinking about the natural cadence, the rise and fall, of our daily lives.

In this week's Focus Friday, I share the downloads that came through about our willingness to stay open, to receive and to let go and trust that what's on its way back to us, is precisely the very thing that is meant for us.

In this episode:

• Our daily lives and its ebbs and flows [ 1:40 ]

• The infinite opportunities that present themselves to us [ 4:35 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

• "I can find my center at any moment as long as I am open to it."

• "Create space in your life to discover the equilibrium that you really want to live in."
