Been in your feels lately? Because same. 

In September we experienced a Lunar Eclipse and a partial Solar Eclipse, and the energies that have come along with them have been nothing short of intense. So, if life has been feeling like a lot lately, and you have found yourself all in your feels, I hope you will join me by pressing play on this episode.

Risa is an Award-winning author, Speaker including TEDx, Gestalt Practitioner, and Patient Advocate. But these beautiful accolades are  only part of her story. In 2018, Risa was diagnosed with a pituitary brain tumor and acromegaly. As you can imagine, this diagnosis changed Risa's life forever.

Today we are diving into what that has looked like for her, lessons she has learned, and the way this diagnosis has inspired her to live her life and share her learnings with others. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Risa as much as I did.

You may have noticed we've been quiet on The Freely YOU Podcast. AND, not to worry. We've been working hard behind the scenes over here.

But have you ever had those moments.....where you are doing ALL the things, and nothing seems to be moving forward!??!? Almost like you are running in place. So much so, you can't help but wonder if you've actually taken a step back??? 

Because same.

Let's chat about that.

Ever think about ALL the things you want to create in your life and then immediately think....but how could I actually do that??? Where would I even start?!?! How could that actually be possible for me?!?!? 

This episode is for you. 

There are three realms that are available to you.

1. What is - AKA your current reality
2. What could be - usually the limited ideas and possibilities that we allow ourselves to explore.
3. Your REAL, unlimited, full potential

Today, I want to talk to about number 3.

AND for those of you that are ready to get curious about what is possible for when you when you start making decisions from this place of UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES...Here is the link to my next retreat :)

Is this my BEST episode ever?!?!?!

Probably not....

AND

I am still so, so, SO worthy. 

And so are you.

If you think there might be something here for you - it's because there is.

Did you know that as of July 2nd we are officially 1/2 way through 2025?!?!? Kind of wild isn't it?

So, how are you really doing?

In this episode, we walk through a mid-year reset to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. You'll be guided through simple questions to evaluate where you've been, what's no longer serving you, and how to realign your energy and goals for the second half of the year.

Gather round, it's story time.

I recently had an encounter with a potential client, that a few years ago would have completely broken me. Right in the middle of a carefully crafted presentation, she pointed out one of my biggest insecurities. I got off that call convinced the opportunity was DEAD (spoiler alert: it's not). But here's the kicker—much to my own surprise, I felt totally okay with it.

That sense of calm certainty, of knowing I was just fine with or without her approval, felt like a powerful confirmation of how far I've come. Of the self-trust I've built.

These are the moments. Small on the surface, but monumental underneath, that can either break us or make us.

I don't know about you, but I'm choosing to let them make me. Every. Single. Time.
