In this episode, I talk about how I am working to normalize luxury in my life for the purpose of undoing fears around money and poverty trauma in my family lineage. I define what LUXURY & POVERTY TRAUMA are for us in this day and age, and how it’s relevant to EVERYONE... and how you can begin to play with your relationship with luxury. I describe my experience with staying in a luxury hotel in Vegas (7 miles away from home) and the LESSON LEARNED behind ordering a $70 steak. This was a very healing, eye opening experience that I hope you learn from!

Center yourself, get into rest+digest mode, and reflect back on a time that you were kicking ass and taking names.

Could be a time where you were “in your prime”, or a completely made up fantasy. Soak up that juicy memory & leave refreshed with a little bit of that memory imprinted in your DNA.

Really FEEL what it means to be your own muse!

So by this point, you might understand that the inspiration, power and aaaall the answers are WITHIN, but how can you trust yourself when you’re feeling emotional?

What if you’re over analyzing and over-“logicing” the problem and don’t end up getting what you want?

Logic is great, but understand that your emotions are the compass for what you TRULY WANT.

(I’m not saying you should punch your boss in the face when you want.....) I dig into these sticky scenarios in this episode!

This will likely be a longer series as Logic versus Emotion is a debate very close to my heart & have so much to uncover !

In this episode, I begin to open up about some health issues I’m going through that cause me to question my energy levels.

For the first time in my life, I consistently feel like I’m running on empty... all the time.

I was the girl who had boundless energy in college - and if she didn’t, her health was the first thing to be sacrificed.

So now I’m having to think critically about what an “energy leak” is, and what an “energy boost” feels like.

If you feel like your energy isn’t what it used to be, this episode is for you!
