Adult friendships, why are they so hard? Are we looking at it the wrong way? Is it us, or is it that we are surrounded by toxic people? And what about those "default" friends that have been around for so long but don't really align with us anymore, how do we navigate those?

I had the same questions! So today I invited two friends of mine, Nimi & Rhea to discuss these questions in detail. The 3 of us have had varying experiences with friendship and each bring some different thoughts and input to the topic! A jam packed episode with lots of practical tips you won't want to miss.

Do you feel trapped in a 9-5 you dread, dreaming of escaping the rat race but can’t afford to quit your job? I've been there. It's a downward spiral of low self value and constant questioning of your life's purpose - you feel like your soul is being chipped away by the minute.

In this podcast, I'm going to walk you through a 6 step process that will change how you view your job to create a life you love—without even having to leave your current job. I’m going to share with you how I went from feeling unsatisfied and stuck in my job as a corporate lawyer, to finding & completely changing how I felt about my career. You don't need to feel stuck because of a job you don't love. Reframing how you think & feel about it is your key.

Today I am joined by a remarkable woman who is a living example of how we have the power to heal ourselves. She shares today how she got over her own pain story which prevented her from living her truth, to how she did everything doctors told her she would never be able to do.

Expect a deep conversation on how to heal yourself, tools such as emotional mapping, how to protect your time, how to stop manifesting illness, the role of vitamin G and getting to know who you are underneath your pain.
