Navigating disappointment is….well disappointing. 

The dictionary describes it as sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one's hopes or expectations.

How depressing right?!?! 

And let’s be honest, this is an emotion that we experience often. We are constantly being disappointed by people, outcomes, experiences and so much more 

It’s a very standard part of life. 

And we often equate this emotion with failure or set back. When really, disappointment can bring lots of growth and clarity around our true desires.

This episode is meant to shift your perspective on disappointment and how you choose to navigate it. There is real value that can be found in your disappointment, and that’s what we are focusing on today. 

And as always, thanks for tuning in. I know you won’t be disappointed! See what I did there ;) 

Ep. 96, Let me tell ya about my dopamine addiction

Since we’re taking authenticity to another level over here lately, let me tell ya about my dopamine addiction. 

It can be subtle at times….the constant need to be “connected” to my phone and to social media. 

It’s just kind of always there….the need to know whats going on, to gather information, to document….

Maybe you can relate? 

As you may have heard, I’m currently taking a two week RESET from social media. 

Today I’m sharing with you why I decided taking  a little break was good for me, and what clarity u hope to gain during this time away.

Happy listening!

P.S. Feel free to DM me but excuse my delay - ℴ𝓊𝓉 ℴ𝒻 ℴ𝒻𝒻𝒾𝒸ℯ

If you are listening to this podcast, my guess is you are already doing some manifesting. 

Maybe you are still (not so) patiently waiting for those manifestations to come through? Well, that might all change for you after this conversation. Most of the time, it's not that the manifestation is not meant for you or not possible for you, it is a tiny little shift that needs to be made in your process that can quickly change everything. 

By pressing play on this episode, you are moving one step closer to the things you want to call into your life.

There is a distinct theme that I have been leaning into, and know I will be carrying into 2025. 

Simplicity. 

As busy human beings, we have a tendency to over complicate our lives. Constantly feeling like we need to 𝒹ℴ more in order to be or have more.

Let me let you in on a BIG secret.

Less really is more here. 

When we 𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 focus on the things we 𝓇ℯ𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 care about, things can start moving quickly in the direction we want.

But when we are too busy being superwoman (or man) and taking on the whole f*cking world at once….this is when we lose focus and start feeling stagnant. 

In this episode, we are talking about doing less, but better. 

Happy listening!
