In this episode, I talk about how easy it is to feel overwhelmed by everything happening in the world—from politics to daily news overload. It's tempting to feel disheartened, but instead, I've been inspired by a friend's words: stay optimistic, do work that makes the world a little brighter, and treat this as an invitation to step into the light. Inspired by the Serenity Prayer, I explore what it means to focus on what we can change and the power of starting small, starting today.

I share stories from my own life, like my struggles with yoga and how I found success in tiny, consistent steps. We'll look at how breaking down big goals into manageable actions not only makes them feel achievable but also adds up over time to create real impact. Plus, we'll talk about the importance of unplugging from sensational news and tuning into what's real, meaningful, and right in front of us.

My aim? To show you that when we embrace the present, focus on love, and surround ourselves with beauty, we start to see the world in a new light.
