  • 33. Do It Anyway: The Courage to Keep Going

    HI! I MISSED YOU!


    It feels like I am taking a mini vacay every other day with this podcast. As you will hear in today's episode, my perfectionism has kept me away from this project. To honor the main reason I started, I am backkkkk. And I'm excited for what's to come.

    Use today's episode as your sign to keep going! I know it's easier said than done, but it feels so good when we do something from our hearts, and today I choose to let go of the judgment I put on myself. Thank you for listening!!!! It means the world to me. <3

  • 32. Mini Book Review - Dogs, Boys, And Other Things I Cried About

    She's on camera?!!!! How fun to try something new! I've been wanting to do a video episode, and I kept waiting for the "right time". No videographer or studio owner came magically knocking at my door, so I decided to do it anyway. I have been really claiming this energy of doing things that make ME feel good and happy without expectation.

    Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's mini book review. I loved this book, and I love Isabel's writing and what she stands for. Losing a pet is one of the most painful experiences, and yet this magical dog, whom I've never met, has changed lives. I hope my mini review encourages you to read this memoir so we can keep celebrating Simon's spirit; I promise you won't regret it. Enjoy <3

  • 31. Grief & Gratitude: A Year of Prompting the Soul

    Hi,

    Happy Anniversary to the pod! For this episode, I wanted to take the time to talk about what is happening in Venezuela and the aftermath of a tragic natural disaster. I've been feeling so much over the past few weeks, and I've had a hard time thinking of what to talk about. The biggest theme for me lately has been sitting in a constant battle of guilt, gratefulness, helplessness, and hope. That's what I focused on today. Thanks for listening!


    Please see the links below on how you can help Venezuela:

    • We Love Foundation GoFundMe
    • Casa Hogar Bambi Venezuela
    • Global Empowerment Mission
    • World Central Kitchen

  • 30. Becoming: When the Hard Thing Becomes the Teacher

    Happy 30 episodes of Prompting the Soul!!!! Today's episode is a vulnerable one for me. I share my journey with getting my Narcolepsy diagnosis and navigating life with it. Even six years after my diagnosis, I still struggle to find the right words to talk about what it is like to live with it, but this episode felt like the right place to try. We talk about post-traumatic growth, the quiet strength that comes from carrying something invisible, and why the hardest moments sometimes become the most defining ones. Enjoy <3

  • 28. The "Right" Path: Clarity Cannot Be Forced

    HIYAH! It's good to be back. This time, I am hoping to stay for the summer. Lately, I've been haunted by the "what's next?" question. I've seen people around me questioning the same thing. Should I move? Should I go back to school? Should I quit my job? You know the drill. Today I share my own experience on wondering "what's next?" and offer ways to rephrase this question in our lives. I hope you enjoy today's reflection!!!!

  • 27. Courage to be Average: When Success Is Not The Goal

    Hi, we are back with a new episode. This one I didn't even bother taking notes for. I've been thinking and journaling about this for days, and as I was stressed about what to talk about for my next episode, this just made sense. The idea that success shouldn't be my main goal is becoming increasingly enticing. It also helps take the pressure off things, and I'm really liking how it's making me feel. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

    HI, happy 2026! I'm back with a new episode. This one is a bit of a catch-up before we dive into regulating our nervous systems, techniques to slow down, and why chasing JOY is the best medicine for keeping us grounded through life's ups and downs. I had so much fun writing and recording this one. Enjoy! <3
