Oh My Goodness! with Aj Smit

Hey friends, it’s Aj! In this episode, I’m sharing how to find your spiritual flow and real connection in the little moments—no mountaintop experiences needed. We’ll talk about how simple things, like a breeze on your face or a game night with loved ones, can help you feel rooted and alive, even when life feels wild. Plus, I’ll give you my favorite tips for moving past shame and rushing so you can notice the magic that’s all around us. Let’s dive in together!

I often get asked what people should know about writing a book, or what my book journey to Red Thread was like, and I had quite an adventure and learned some things I'd do differently and I thought I'd share them here with you!

I include why I wrote the book, struggles along the way, publisher things to be aware of, editing things I loved, and how burnout can get you if you aren't careful.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'm happy to do a follow up episode!

 Values meditation from my audiobook that is being recorded and will be released soon, Red Thread, Weaving an Embodied Life of Joy.

Hi friends! This week we are talking about Soul Resonance and how you can feel it, why it's important and the intersection of listening to your body, worthiness, and the beliefs we have about ourselves.

Hey friends, so, life is wild, and we are going to do a month long September challenge called "F*ck It, Why Not? We Need It" - diving deep into why we deny ourselves joy when the world needs our vitality most. So here's a sneak peek on what to expect and some things to think about before the month gets started.

We will be identifying joy barriers, reconnecting with what we actually like, and rewriting limiting stories. I'll have tiers of the challenge structure from free participation to some deeper 1:1 support, and part of the proceeds will go to Palestinians who need support and food.

Feel stuck between two choices or not sure what's ahead for you? Listen to this curiosity meditation that is guided to help you discover how to use curiosity as a scout in your life.

Sit back, relax, or enjoy a walk as you listen and see what might be possible for you.

An update from life and some thoughts on capacity and ways we think we can do something but sometimes we cannot and why shame is not conducive to growth and living the lives that we'd like.

We will also chat about why it's important to actually take stock when we are spiraling or don't have capacity not because you're doing something wrong, but because it tells us about what we can do and how we want to show up in the world.

Here are a few different tools to shift out of shoulds and the comparison game. When you get stuck, it's no fun but you don't have to stay there!When we can figure out how to get a little wiggle room, and keep your eyes on your own paper and remember your intuition, things can get less intense and you can take steps in a way that feel good for you!
