What if you met every emotion—joy, sorrow, shame, or delight—at the door and invited it in? In this special episode, Rhonda reads Rumi’s “The Guest House” and shares how embracing all your feelings can guide you to greater self-love and healing.

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.

Instead of shutting out pain or running from hard feelings, what if we honored each arrival? I’ll guide you in seeing even the most difficult emotions as messengers guides from above, here not to punish, but to lead you onward. The heart of this episode is learning, together, that you don’t have to fear your feelings. Each one is a new arrival, sent to support your becoming.

Let’s breathe that truth in. There is nothing to be afraid of, not even your darkest thoughts. Love them all, just as I love you.

What You’ll Discover

• Why your emotions: joy, sorrow, anger are “guests” to welcome, not problems to solve
• How “negative” feelings can clear space for new delight and growth
• Simple steps to become less afraid of intense emotions
• The power of gratitude for whatever comes, knowing each feeling is a guide
• A loving practice to shift from avoidance to acceptance and compassion

Key Takeaway

When you meet every feeling at the door without fear or judgment, you create space for healing, growth, and genuine self-love.

Key Quote

“There’s nothing to be afraid of, no feeling to be afraid of. They’re just feelings. Each has been sent as a guide from above, leading you forward, educating, supporting, unraveling. It’s all here for you. Love them all, like I love you.”

Discover a neuroscience-backed practice you can try right now to refresh your mind and creativity: using your non-dominant hand for daily tasks. In today’s episode, Rhonda explores why “mixing it up” can strengthen your brain, spark fresh ideas, and help you live more awake, starting with something as simple as how you brush your teeth.

Today on Love Notes from Rhonda, I want you to mix it up. Really—pick up that toothbrush, the TV remote, or even your pen, and use your non-dominant hand. Why? Because every time you switch things up, your brain gets a workout in the most gentle, creative way.

I share how changing your daily habits not only activates both sides of your brain, but helps you grow new neural pathways, fuels your creativity, and helps you think in ways you never could before. Whether you’re right-handed or left-handed, these small shifts bring the gift of new perspective and playful possibility.

If you’ve felt stuck in routine or long to renew your spark, this episode is your invitation to try something different and let your own curiosity lead the way.

• Why your brain thrives on new experiences and gentle challenges
• How using your non-dominant hand strengthens neural connections and grows new brain cells
• The connection between creativity and “mixing it up” in daily life
• Easy ways to try the practice: writing, brushing your teeth, pouring water, and more
• How activating both hemispheres of your brain opens you to new possibilities and flexible thinking
• Why playful, small changes are key to living more awake and fearless

When you dare to “mix it up” in your everyday life, you invite growth, creativity, and joy, your brain comes alive, and so do you.

“But when you use that non dominant hand, the brain actually says, huh, changes a foot, which then gives it permission to have actually more creativity.”

“And the more you do this on a regular basis, the more you're gonna find your creativity is sparked and your passion is even more alive.”

How do you know when enough is enough? In this episode, Rhonda explores the power of naming what’s intolerable in your life—whether it’s a draining relationship, a broken drawer, or the self-talk that keeps you small. Get ready to claim your freedom by letting go of what no longer serves you.

Have you ever felt that ache in your chest when you realize you’re tolerating something that hurts or just isn’t worth your precious energy anymore? In this episode, Rhonda opens her heart about the practice of identifying what you simply won’t accept anymore. From relationships that wear you out to routines that drain you, she'll gently guide you, step-by-step—through noticing what’s become intolerable and what to do about it.

Through stories of her family and honesty about her own journey, Rhonda shares the liberation that comes when you stop making yourself responsible for changing others, and start claiming stewardship over your own peace.

Whether you’re stuck in guilt, wrestling with old habits, or unsure if you’re allowed to say “no”, this episode is your invitation to set yourself free.

• Why naming what’s intolerable can instantly clarify what matters to you
• The difference between healthy boundaries and cutting people off
• What shifts when you stop trying to change others and start honoring your own needs
• Practical ways to become neutral about what used to upset you
• How to decide what to keep, what to let go, and what to handle with grace
• Gentle encouragement: it’s OK to let some things (and relationships) go

The moment you name what’s intolerable, you reclaim your power to choose peace, connection, and self-respect.

“You don’t need to keep things, have relationships with, do things because you’re supposed to or because you better or because of expectations—now you get to decide.”

and

“Let it go. Remember, your life is 100% responsibly yours. It’s under your hands, it’s under your heart, under your mind, under your body, under your spirit. Your life.”

• What is one thing you’ve been tolerating that you’re ready to name as intolerable? What would it feel like to let it go or make peace with it?
• More encouragement, courses, and Rhonda’s resources at fearlessliving.org

Today, take a quiet moment to reflect: What’s become intolerable for you? Choose just one thing, and ask yourself—can I make peace with it, or is it time to lovingly let it go?

What if looking in the mirror was the start of deep self-love? In this episode, Rhonda invites you to meet your own gaze, say “I love you,” and discover how this simple, courageous act can rewire your mornings and your heart.

Have you ever walked past a mirror and avoided your own eyes? Or maybe, you’ve looked at your reflection but never dared to say the three most important words: “I love you.” Today, I want to change that. In this episode, I share the daily ritual that’s helped me and countless others transform how we see ourselves—starting with a simple moment at the bathroom mirror.

We’ll talk about why this practice is more than affirmations, how resistance to self-recognition is rooted in fear, and what happens when you finally meet your gaze—not with criticism, but with kindness.

If you’re ready to wake up excited to be you, to look at your reflection and feel pride rather than judgment, this gentle, yet powerful episode is your invitation to start. Because the greatest glory, as you’ll hear, is truly seeing and loving—the person staring back at you.

• A step-by-step mirror practice to build authentic self-love
• Why most of us avoid our own reflection—and how to change that
• The deeper reason your brain resists self-affirmation
• Words (beyond “I love you”) to practice daily self-kindness
• How looking yourself in the eye can shift your energy, courage, and gratitude for who you are

Every time you look in the mirror and say, “I love you,” you anchor self-worth, courage, and joy, turning self-love from a distant goal into a daily reality.

“Every time you go by a mirror, I want you to look yourself eyeball to eyeball and say, ‘I love you.’ The greatest glory in heaven is looking at you in the mirror… And that is you.”

Are your judgments, rules, and expectations keeping you from true connection? In this episode, Rhonda invites you to discover the freeing power of living with an open heart and open mind. Learn why dropping the barriers creates deeper self-compassion, opens intuition, and lets you finally hear your purpose.

Today on Love Notes from Rhonda, we’re talking about opening your heart and mind—not just as a feel-good idea, but as the essential practice for genuine connection and self-kindness. Using our walls of judgment and expectation may seem protective, but they close the door to intimacy, intuition, and growth.

I share why so many people feel stuck or blocked from their purpose, and trace that back to closed-hearted living. We explore how dropping self-judgment allows you to see your own innocence, forgive yourself, and bring gentleness back into your day.

Take a breath and let yourself imagine living without your old barriers. What could you hear? Who could you love? When we risk blossoming instead of staying tight in a bud, everything changes.

What You’ll Discover

• Why connection is impossible when you’re focused on judgment and expectations
• How an open mind and heart lead to deeper self-compassion
• The surprising link between openheartedness and hearing your intuition
• How fear keeps you stuck in rules and what it means to become fearless
• Simple phrases and practices for unclenching the heart in daily life
• A new filter for choosing, deciding, and living with your whole self

Key Takeaway

The risk of staying closed—mind and heart—is always more painful than the risk of opening up. Real connection and purpose only come when you dare to blossom.

Key Quote

“When you find yourself judging, shoulding, or beating yourself up, remember: you’re actually closed minded and closed hearted. An open heart lets you hear what is meant for you.”

And:

“The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anaïs Nin, as quoted by Rhonda

How many times have you thought you’d let something go—only to find it resurfacing again? In this episode, Rhonda shares a deeply personal story about a gift, a necklace, and a moment by the ocean that revealed the deeper truth: letting go isn’t something you do once, but a practice for life. If you’re holding on when you want to be free, this is your invitation to loosen your grip and see what’s possible.

Today, I’m sharing a story that starts with a simple necklace and ends with a powerful transformation. Years ago, a client gave me a necklace engraved with “let go”, a symbol of her own radical shift after working together. For a long time, it was just an object in my room until, standing by the ocean, I finally listened to what my soul needed.

Letting go isn’t a once-and-for-all act. It’s something that comes up when we least expect it, in layers, deeper each time. Whether it’s grief, a relationship, or an old story you didn’t even realize you were carrying, each act of letting go brings more freedom, more breath, more possibility.

If you’ve told yourself “I should be over this by now,” or wondered why old pain resurfaces, you’re not alone. In this episode, you’ll see why the work of releasing is never wasted and why you’ll find more of yourself every time you say yes to letting go.

• Why letting go isn’t “one and done,” but a life-long, liberating practice
• How everyday symbols and moments can prompt unexpected release
• What keeps us attached to old pain, even when we think we’re ready to move on
• How each act of letting go “unhooks” us and makes space for more of who we are
• The freedom (and surprise!) that arrives when we surrender—even things we didn’t know we were holding

Letting go is not a single moment, it’s a devotion to your own freedom, practiced again and again, each time opening you to something new.

“I want you to remember and embrace that letting go is going to be a lifetime process. Each time, it frees you a little more. Each time, you think it’s the last time. And that’s how it’s supposed to feel.”

Journaling Prompts:

• What am I ready to let go of, even if I don’t fully understand it yet?
• When have I thought letting go was finished, only to find another layer later?

What’s the theme that runs through your life story? In this heartfelt episode, Rhonda Britten opens up about the journey to discovering her own life’s theme and how naming yours can transform everything. Whether you feel stuck in patterns, or yearn for more freedom, this conversation helps you pinpoint what matters most, and gives you permission to live as your soul intended.

Today, I invite you to look back at your life and ask: what’s the theme that’s woven it all together? Is it growing, surviving, hardship, freedom, love, or money? I share how, for me, the quest for freedom drove my choices, from forgiving my parents, to quitting drinking, to starting my own business. Naming my life’s theme didn’t just clarify my past, it gave me the courage to change my future.

We’ll explore how our struggles can be catalysts for understanding our soul’s true longing. You’ll hear my story of reclaiming freedom and why your journey even when messy or marked by setbacks is a sacred path. If you’ve ever felt defined by your problems, or wondered “What am I really here to do?”—this episode is for you.

• How to identify the underlying theme of your life and why it matters
• Why the quest for freedom, love, or growth can drive every major change
• How struggles and patterns are invitations to deeper self-understanding
• The difference between framing your story by your problems versus your soul’s intention
• Why you have permission to relabel your past and pursue the life your soul intended

Naming your life’s theme gives you clarity, direction, and the power to move forward, no longer trapped by struggle, but free to live the life your soul intended.

“For me, freedom equals living the life my soul intended. I want to live what I—in the way that I am meant to live on this planet. That is really important to me. And it drives me each and every day.”

• Journaling Prompt: What is the theme of your life so far? How would you relabel your past from the lens of your soul’s intention?

Take a few minutes today to reflect, write down, or share aloud the theme of your life so far. Notice where it’s calling you to grow next. If you’re a searcher or yearner, you’re in the right place. what would you say is the theme of your life so far, and how did you discover it?

What if your old journals held the proof that you’re changing—right now? In this episode, I revisit my diaries from before Fearless Living, discovering compassion for my past self and the quiet power of witnessing your own growth.

Today, I share what it’s like to open old journals and read the words of a younger, more anxious, more worried version of myself. She was lonely, scared, and desperate to live—but she didn’t have the tools or self-compassion I do now.

As I read her words, I realized how much I’ve changed and how easy it is to forget our own progress. Growth doesn’t always feel dramatic in the moment. It’s in the slow shifts, the smaller worries, the gentler self-talk, the way you move through fear with more trust.

I invite you to practice the power of acknowledgment and gratitude—to look back at your life, not with shame, but with awe for how far you’ve come. Your journals, your exercises, even your old calendars can become a time capsule of your transformation.

• Why old journals are proof you’re more fearless than you think
• How to see the difference between your past self and who you are now
• The power of daily acknowledgment and gratitude rituals
• Why progress is sometimes invisible until you look back
• How to capture your growth (and self-compassion) on the hard days
• How to practice self-compassion for the person you used to be
• Why your journey matters—even when it feels slow

Growth is slow and often invisible in real time. But when you look back with compassion, you’ll see that you’re braver, wiser, and more yourself than you ever realized. Honor your past self, and celebrate the fearless steps you’re taking—even when they seem small.

“I was that girl. But I don’t think that way anymore. And more importantly, I don’t see the world that way anymore. I don’t feel that way anymore.”

Are you frustrated, waiting for permission, wishing for a sign? In this deeply reassuring episode, Rhonda Britten helps you break free from the trap of waiting and step boldly into your birthright as a creator. Discover how to move from stagnation to creative flow and why the act of creating, in any form, is what sets you free.

Today, let’s talk about the courage to create. I open my heart about the universal urge to “make” whether that’s making love, making peace, building relationships, nurturing a family, or birthing a new idea. Most of our frustrations, I share, aren’t because we’re too busy, they arise from not creating where it matters most.

What if your anxiety, boredom, or irritation is a signal to get back in the creative game? What if, instead of waiting for permission or a magical sign, you simply started: messy, unsure, and beautifully alive? This episode is a loving nudge to look at the places you feel stuck, and to gently ask: What creation have I been sitting on? What wants to be birthed through me, no matter how small or awkward?

I share why risk is part of the journey, why no one can judge your creations except you, and how honoring every act of making opens up your life including giving yourself credit for what you’ve already created. Let’s move together from waiting to creating. The world is asking for what only you can give.

What You’ll Discover

• Why the mandate to “create or perish” is an eternal law of nature
• How unaddressed frustration nearly always points to places you’re not expressing your creative spirit
• The real reason waiting for permission or signs keeps you small
• How to move past perfectionism, anxiety, and self-rejection through daily creation
• The importance of honoring all your past creations—and gently inviting yourself to birth the next
• Why your first creation is just the beginning, and each act of making opens new possibilities

Key Takeaway

If you’re not creating, you’re not truly living: start where you are, with what you have, and let your creative spirit lead the way.

Key Quote

"You are a creator. Give everything you’ve got. Who cares if it’s good or bad, liked or rejected? Create, and I promise you, this creation will get you to the next one."

Is asking for help a sign of weakness, or the bravest step you can take? In this episode, Rhonda explores why help—seen and unseen—is at the heart of becoming who we’re meant to be. Discover why turning away help is costly, how to discern the support you need, and the gentle courage of truly asking.

Today, I want to talk about the word “help.” From the moment we come into this world, help is how we grow, thrive, and move closer to our dreams. But somewhere along the way, we may start refusing help, pushing it away, hoping for it in secret, or believing independence means we can do it all on our own.

I share how asking for help is an act of emotional intelligence and charity, not weakness. We explore the courage it takes to ask, the difference between visible and invisible help, and why refusing support is an illusion that keeps us separate and stuck. Together, let’s uncover where you may be turning away help, and discover how opening up to support can bring you closer to becoming all you’re destined to be.

If you’ve ever found yourself afraid to ask, or hoping help would appear without ever uttering the words, this episode invites you to see help as your birthright—and your next step in the cycle of love.

What You’ll Discover

• Why asking for help is a sign of emotional strength, not weakness
• The difference between transactional, visible help and invisible, spiritual support
• How refusing help is rooted in fear—and why it keeps us isolated
• Gentle questions to uncover where you’re avoiding help (and where you’re secretly longing for it)
• Simple practices to become more receptive to help, every single day

Key Takeaway

No one succeeds alone—not me, not you. The willingness to ask for and receive help is the catalyst for becoming who you were born to be.

Key Quote

“Asking for help is critical for us to become who we are born to be. Because no one can become who they’re born to be alone. Not me. Not you.”
