Alright, we kick things off with a racy and funny story that really has nothing to do with anything other than laughing. Just something that popped into my head and needed to be shared (again, because of the funniness)

Late night thoughts.

This episode feels pretty vulnerable of me because it's about someone from my past. Someone I wrote a story about. Someone I was very attached to after a short time. Someone I thought was everything I wanted without even giving myself a chance to know them.

And now I talk about the release of the disappointment and anger what I projected toward the other person who didn't fit the mold of who I thought he should be.

How I set myself up for disaster because I was filling a void externally. Without even realizing it.

And we think that this person did us wrong and owe us something (and perhaps they do). However, to really move forward freely in life, it's the forgiveness toward ourselves that we need to focus on.

You couldn't have been someone different in the past because you just weren't different. You had to be THAT version of you to be this version. And THIS version, the one reading this, is exactly where they are supposed to be to take you to where you want to go.

Today's guest is Lauren Josephine and our chat was amazing!

Lauren is a long-time dater, turned dating and relationships author. After going on over 200 dates throughout her 20s and 30s, she felt called to write about and normalize all of the struggles modern daters deal with today, especially when using dating apps. She recently published her first book called Looking for Something Serious, in which she uses her 10-year dating journey to discuss the many pitfalls of dating today, like ghosting, situationships, repeated rejection, and losing hope in dating altogether. Lauren is passionate about sharing practical, optimistic dating advice to help single people build the confidence, patience, and hope they need to not give up on finding love. She is 34 and lives in San Francisco with her fiancé (who she met on Reddit in 2022!) and her dog Winnie.

Her and I talked about everything from becoming a coach and the struggles that go with it ... to dating, dating apps, and manifesting love.

Her success story is amazing and truly one that highlights the magic of manifestation.

In order to manifest these huge things into your life … the things that 'feel so far away' … who do you need to be? What do you need to claim?

Where is your focus? Is it on what you DO want? Or what you don't want?

Are you able to harness your power within by redirecting that focus internally, creating a world where nothing exists outside of you?

Are you able to check your energy before heading into a conversation?

How do you handle it when you're triggered? How does victim mode hit you?

Are you aware of when your patterns show up? Are you able to shift them?

In order to manifest those big dreams, you have to look for what life is reflecting back to you because the reflection is always there.

The road to NOT settling for anything less than a relationship that is absolutely bomb can be challenging.

So check in with yourself ... What's being reflected back?

___________

Always love love love to hear from you guys. What do you like? ... what do you want more of? ... What's resonating with you?

Everything will come to you exactly when it's supposed to ... if you let it. What you seek is seeking you!

In this episode, Cait and I jam on her awakening to manifestation, her purpose, and how it saved her life.

Every awakening is different (if you've had one, you know!) and while you might make 'mistakes' along the way, allowing yourself to grow without shaming older versions of yourself and the conditioned ways you have been taught to live will help you grow even fast and stronger.

Everything is a reflection of self and learning to use that reflection to create your life from the inside out is liberating. Letting go of your expectations for the outside world is where you can harness all of your power!

On this episode Sarah and I are connecting the dots between mental and physical health

Health isn't linear in any form. It's going to be different for every person so as we always say … check in with yourself! Mindset is crucial when manifesting anything, and health and weight loss are no exception.

Some topics, ideas and questions we address:

The confusion of what's actually good for you and what's not.

How to start with manageable steps, love, and intention?

How to build more self-worth and self-love into the pieces of yourself that you don't currently love.

Society's definition of attractiveness and sexiness.

How do you view one bad day of eating?

How do we get to the 'why' behind the self-sabotaging behaviors we engage in when it comes to food.

Who did I used to be? I can sum it up in one word: Reactive

I grew up in a push/pull dynamic. I grew up in inconsistency. I grew up in chaos.

And then I spent a lot of time as an adult shaming myself for my disorganized attachment style.

WHY?! In a very simple mathematical equation ... who I am now is the sum of how I grew up.

We spend so much time running from who we are only to manifest the reflection of who we are in every area of our lives. Running more from it ... creating more reflection of it. It's a vicious cycle. Until ... it's not

Recognizing who you are is a huge milestone in your existence. And, if you're doing it and allowing the truth of who you are to just be without shame or rejection ... you're acting in love. Self-love. With self-love comes healing ...

And with healing, then comes more love.

And now it's a beautiful cycle.

Shift the momentum ... shift your entire reality 💖
