This episode is about why we avoid things, how smoking helps us feel less alone (temporarily), and a candid look into my life as a weed addict. I talk about the reasons I smoked so much, how a typical day went for me and what I've done to take steps forward and create new routines. Understanding WHY you do something is the first step to making change. Walk as you listen!

This week on the podcast, I talk about my journey in overcoming my self-destructive behaviors (especially my weed addiction), the power of understanding what triggers you, and how to take steps forward from your negative beliefs, actions, and habits. We all have different vices we use to escape, but learning what's UNDER them is how you create lasting transformation. WALK AS YOU LISTEN!

This week is all about holidays and how to move through them if you're going through something hard, feel alone or hate this time of the year. I know there's a lot of pressure, lack of structure, and feelings of loneliness. I've been there and have learned different ways to take steps forward during the hard times. Remember, where you're at now isn't permanent. The holidays will be over VERY soon! Walk as you listen!

This week's episode is all about the lies we tell ourselves regarding our relationships and what we truly want and need. Have you ever felt a feeling in your body that doesn't feel right? Unfortunately, most of us are terrified to listen to the voices that live within us (our intuition), so instead, we make up stories to keep ourselves safe. I share my journey with my recent break-up, what I learned, and how you can step into your truth instead of away from it. If you resonate with something I said today, I encourage you to take a bold look at your life. Are you happy? Are you being honest with yourself? Remember, on the other side of the pain you might feel when you learn into your truth is your TRANSFORMATION. Walk as you listen!

This week I talk about the stories we tell ourselves (and others) and how they could be damaging you instead of healing you. I share my recent eye-opening moment of realizing that I've fallen into the trap of only communicating the sad parts of my life, thinking that it was the only way people would be able to connect and relate to me. I've come to understand that being authentic isn't only about sharing the pain; it's about inviting people into your powerful transformation as well. Talking only about my sadness keeps me stuck and discredits all my growth. Maybe you do this in your life with the stories you share or the ROLES you play. Remember, you don't have to keep yourself small (or sad) to be loved and valued. It's time to learn how to step into your NEW story. WALK AS YOU LISTEN!

This week I talk about the struggles I've faced when it comes to making my own decisions, especially when the people I love most don't agree or understand them. I'm very lucky to have such a wonderful family but I also recognize that although I love them, that doesn't mean they always know what's best for me. I've had to learn how to take a step back from people in my life so I can listen to my voice and make choices based on my TRUTH, not theirs. If you've ever struggled with making decisions or asking everyone what they think, this is for you!

This week's episode is about getting out of your own way and becoming self aware enough to understand when old patterns are sneaking their way back in. I talk about how I've been feeling a little uninspired lately which has also made me not want to market my podcast as much. I share what I've been doing to STOP myself from making destructive choices or doing things that don't serve me or my visions (like not marketing the Podcast) and how I'm learning to GET OUT OF MY WAY and write new stories for myself.

If you feel off track, bored with your current job, project, work or find yourself back into old patterns or ways of thinking, this is for you! MAKE SURE YOU WALK AS YOU LISTEN.

This week I share about my journey as a creative entrepreneur, being multi-passionate and how helping my friend lose 100 pounds in 2012 put me on my path. I've gone through so many different chapters over the last 10 years on my entrepreneurial journey. Some of it has been wonderful and A LOT of it has been confusing. I'm finally at a point though where I'm taking steps towards my aligned path and accepting who I am so I can become who I'm meant to be. We all have different journeys and sometimes it takes longer to figure it out. Life isn't and neither is being an entrepreneur.
