What lens are you looking through? In this gentle, practical episode, Rhonda shares how your inner “lens”, your mindset, filter, or perception—shapes your reality. Learn why shifting to a lens of love, soul, or freedom can turn struggle into effortless grace, and discover simple practices to reclaim how you see the world.

Today on Love Notes from Rhonda, I want to spark a quiet revolution in how you experience life: by practicing a new lens. Whether you’ve always felt attacked, bitter, or unseen, or wish you could approach the world with more love, trust, and soul, this episode is an invitation to reimagine your filter.

I’ll show you how choosing your lens whether it’s the Wheel of Freedom, love, or soul—can transform not only your experiences, but your sense of effort and grace. We’ll explore why shifting your filter isn’t about people-pleasing, but about including yourself in love. If you ever feel you “can’t do it here” or “can’t be patient there,” I invite you to align your lens, recover faster when you get pulled off, and discover how much power you have over your world.

The practice is simple, and it’s life-changing. Let’s begin.

• Why your perception, your “lens” is the foundation of your world
• The difference between living from fear and living from freedom
• How switching your lens can move you from attack and effort to ease and grace
• Practical ways to choose and practice a new filter, even if you’re not sure where to start
• The real meaning of seeing through love (without people-pleasing), and why it must include you
• How to recover quickly when you slip back into the fear lens
• Why practicing one lens helps you build emotional muscle and true choice

You have more power than you know, the moment you choose your lens, you change your world.

“When you see through the eyes of love, you’re practicing seeing yourself and others as innocent. Which is a skill that is required to truly reach our highest potential, our highest expansion… the highest actualization.”

—Rhonda

Are you longing for real connection and support? In this episode, Rhonda reveals why getting personal, sharing from your heart, not just your head, is the only way to be truly seen and loved. Discover the courage to move beyond surface conversations and into the kind of relationships your soul craves.

What does it really mean to get personal? Today, Rhonda gently unpacks what “personal” actually is, and why it’s the essential ingredient for being truly seen, loved, and supported in your life.

Most of us hope to matter and desire deep relationships, but we often stay on the surface, talking about our daily routines and never letting anyone into our real world. Rhonda invites you to go deeper: to share your feelings, your heart, and your true self. She reminds us that vulnerability isn’t just about spilling secrets, but about letting yourself be transparent, so others can know, care for, and love the real you.

If you’ve wanted more meaningful friendships or to feel less alone, this episode is your warm invitation to take the gentle risk of letting yourself shine.

What You’ll Discover

• Why surface-level conversation keeps you feeling unseen and disconnected
• What it truly means to “get personal” (and how it’s different from oversharing)
• The deep human need to be seen, heard, and valued
• How vulnerability opens doors to lasting support, love, and real friendship
• Gentle ways to share your heart and invite intimacy, one small step at a time

Key Takeaway

If you want to feel seen, loved, and deeply connected, you must be willing to get personal and share your true self because connection always starts with you.

Key Quote

“If you want more meaningful relationships, if you want to leave loneliness behind…that is, for the most part, up to you for your willingness to share you, to share you.”

– Rhonda

Discover why remembering these moments of connection just might open your heart to the goodness all around you.

Today’s episode is all about gratitude, the kind you feel for the everyday, often-forgotten people who helped shape you. I want you to think back on your life: those office ladies at your high school who smiled at you when you needed it most, the counselor who encouraged your dreams, maybe even the stranger in the middle of nowhere who opened their home for a night when you were scared and alone.

We so easily remember the people who let us down, but what if we chose to focus on those who lifted us up, even for just a moment? I’m sharing my own stories, and inviting you to create your own gratitude list: a reminder that no act of kindness is too small, and that your life is touched by goodness every day.

If you’ve ever felt alone, unseen, or unsupported, this episode is a gentle nudge to remember you are part of a world full of friendly faces—and your story includes more love than you know.

• Why focusing on the helpers, not the disappointments, shifts your whole perspective
• The transformative power of small gestures—a smile, encouragement, a helping hand
• How strangers and distant relatives can shape your sense of belonging
• A simple reflection practice to uncover gratitude for those who’ve supported you (even if you barely remember their names)
• Why opening your heart to the goodness in others helps you believe in yourself

There is so much good in people—and even the smallest acts of kindness can shape your life in ways you may never realize.

“Let’s think about all the people that helped us become who we are today. All the people that supported us, looked at us with a friendly smile, gave us encouragement, just in some way told us, ‘Keep going, you’re okay… it will be all right.’”

• Journal Prompt: Who has touched your life with support, encouragement, or a kind smile—even for just a moment? Write their names down, and let yourself reflect on what those moments meant to you.

Ever wonder why some hearts open and others stay closed? In this episode, Rhonda reads Hafiz’s “How Did The Rose” and shares a gentle love note: real beauty reveals itself in the presence of encouragement. Discover how support, connection, and reminders of your own worth can help you bloom, no matter what barriers you face.

Today, let’s pause and listen to encouragement within, around us, and from one another. In “How Did The Rose,” Hafiz asks how the rose was brave enough to unfold and share its beauty with the world. The answer: light, support, and gentle encouragement.

I share why encouragement is a life-giving force, how reaching out for support isn’t just okay, it’s essential and why even monks and wise teachers lean on togetherness to move forward. When we forget our value, connection brings us back. When walls appear between us and our peace, encouragement helps us find the tools and courage to move through.

If you’ve ever wondered if you’re worthy, or felt you have to do it all alone, this episode is a warm hug to remind you: you are made of stardust, worthy of love and beauty, and you never have to walk the path alone.

What You’ll Discover

• How encouragement helps us open to the world even when we’re afraid
• Why asking for support and connection is not weakness, but wisdom
• The role of companionship—even for solitary seekers—on the journey of self-love
• How to shift your perspective from barriers as roadblocks to opportunities for learning
• Practices for remembering your worth and seeking encouragement everywhere

Key Takeaway

You are magnificent, made of stardust, and worth every bit of encouragement the world has to offer and you have everything you need within you to live the life your soul intended.

Key Quote

“You are worth the sun and the moon and the stars. You are very much made with stardust. And you being here at this particular time, at this particular moment in Earth, in this time frame, in this moment, means that you are here for a reason.”

OR

“It’s okay to need encouragement. It’s okay to want to be reminded. It’s okay that sometimes you forget why you’re here, what matters, why keep going.”

Ever feel like you’re supposed to have it all together but inside, you’re struggling? In this heartfelt episode, Rhonda Britten opens up about her own journey from silent suffering to reaching out for support. Discover how learning to ask for help isn’t weakness, but one of the bravest, most powerful things you can do.

Today, I want to talk about something that took me years to learn how to ask for help. Growing up, I believed I had to handle everything on my own. Admitting I needed support felt like failure, weakness, even danger. But when my life fell apart that I call my dark night of the soul, I realized that reaching out for help wasn’t just a survival tool; it was the door to true connection, healing, and growth.

In this episode, I share how letting myself be seen in my messiness changed me. I talk about sleeping on friends’ couches, asking for what I needed even when it felt impossible, and the new kind of strength I found on the other side. If you’ve ever been told to “be strong” instead of asking for support, this episode is an invitation to practice letting love in, one small ask at a time.

• Why asking for help is the most courageous thing you can do (especially when you’ve been taught never to)
• How old family patterns around self-sufficiency can keep you isolated—and how to begin breaking them
• The hidden psychological cost of never raising your hand or reaching out
• Simple stories and tips for finding your own “SOS” people
• How accepting support deepens your connection to life, love, and your own potential

Strength isn’t going it alone—it’s having the courage to reach out, ask, and receive.

• Further support: Learn more about practicing self-acceptance and connection at https://fearlessliving.org

What if the thing you want most is waiting to be received but fear is keeping the door shut? In this episode, Rhonda helps you recognize the subconscious ways you resist love, abundance, and confidence, and guides you to create the inner space to let more in.

Today, we’re talking about receiving. Yes, really letting in what’s meant for you. So often, we say we want more love, abundance, or confidence, but deep down, we’re afraid of what receiving it might bring: pressure, judgment, change, or even the loss of connection. I’ll ask you gentle, honest questions to help you uncover where you’re holding back and why, and encourage you to meet your fears with truth and compassion.

If you’ve ever secretly felt unworthy or overwhelmed by good things or worried you might change if you truly received all you desire, this episode is for you. We’ll explore how to honor the process of expanding your capacity to receive, and why facing your fears is a loving first step.

Let’s practice opening up space for the things you crave, and allow yourself to live the life your soul intended.

• Why the ability to receive is essential for love, abundance, and confidence
• The common fears that block us from letting in more—like feeling unworthy or afraid of change
• How saying “yes” to what you want can bring fear of backlash from family, friends, or your own inner critic
• Simple reflection questions to uncover your hidden fears around receiving
• How telling yourself the truth about your fear is the beginning of opening up to miracles
• Small steps to “do the work now” so you’re ready to receive when the moment comes

You can only receive what life has to offer when you make room for it and that starts by being honest about what holds you back.

“Is there a part of you that’s scared to receive it? Scared of what it means? Scared of how it might change you or the people around you? Tell yourself the truth about where you’re scared—so you can start working to heal it.”

• Journal Prompt: What am I afraid to receive, and what do I think might happen if I truly let it in?
• Guided practices, daily encouragement, and more at fearlessliving.org
• Try writing down or speaking aloud: “I am willing to receive more. I am willing to face my fears so I can open to what’s meant for me.”

Take a few quiet moments today to notice where you hold back from receiving—love, abundance, support, or confidence. Write down your fears honestly, and remember: every truth you tell yourself is a doorway to possibility.

What takes your energy, distraction, duty, or true interest? In this episode, Rhonda invites you to gently notice where your attention wanders, why it matters, and how conscious moments of rest and awareness can refuel your spirit. It’s time to reclaim your focus, one gentle breath at a time.

Today, Rhonda invites you to look closely at where your attention goes throughout the day. Is your energy slipping away to mindless distractions, or are you consciously giving yourself needed moments of rest? Are you aware of what truly grabs your interest—what matters most to your heart?

With warmth and lived honesty, Rhonda explores why being awake to your attention is a double-edged sword: awareness leads to growth, but can also reveal places we wish we’d done better. Yet, as you’ll hear, the path forward isn’t in harshness, but in gentle, compassionate noticing. By choosing how you spend your attention, you start to reclaim your energy, find what truly nourishes you, and give yourself permission to be right where you are.

If you find yourself distracted, frustrated, or weary by the end of the day, this episode is your invitation to wake up to your own power. Let’s uncover how mindful attention supports you and why being gentle with yourself is always the first step.

• How to notice if you’re avoiding something, or truly allowing your mind to rest

The gentle act of noticing where your attention goes is your power—because with awareness, you can reclaim your energy, make conscious choices, and feed what truly matters to your soul.

“When you increase your awareness, on one level, this is good because you must be aware in order to change your life, right? You must be aware in order to shift.”

Discover how to spot which beliefs you’re worshiping, break free from the Wheel of Fear, and choose what truly honors your soul.

Today, Rhonda invites you into a powerful exploration: what happens when the thoughts you repeat, the voices of doubt, shame, or old wounds become the “gods” you obey in daily life? With warmth and candor, she shares how the Wheel of Fear is built from illusions, old perceptions, and hand-me-down beliefs, and how easily we crown these as truth, letting them shape everything we do.

If you’ve ever found yourself believing you’re “not enough,” “not capable,” or held back by labels others put on you, this episode is a wake-up call and a gentle reminder: you have the power to decide who and what you honor. Full of compassion, Rhonda helps you see where you’ve given power to disempowering thoughts and how to reclaim it for your soul’s intended life.

Today, I want you to pause with me. Take a deep breath, ground yourself, and simply listen. I’m sharing one of my favorite poems: Rumi’s “The Guest House”, because it reminds us that being human means welcoming every experience, every feeling, every part of ourselves, as a guest.
