What journey are you on right now? What do you love about it? What is inspiring you? Who are you meeting? What are you learning?

Takeaways from this episode

1. Images can say more than words - this one’s obvious, but now that a logo exists for Soul Excellence, I feel more inspired and clearer on what it means.

2. It’s a feeling - which experiences have you had that make you feel most you? For me, being on The Camino reflected so much of what I stand for and care about.

3. Love and lessons are everywhere - it’s beautiful to spend time with people who live differently than you to see that love and things to learn are everywhere!

In episode three of The Soul Excellence Podcast, I look at how the ego gets a bad rap in our society. From Eckhart Tolle to Warren Buffet, it's fashionable to blame the ego for society's ills. But what if there is more to ego than meets the eye?

I share a more truthful and helpful way to conceive of the ego, largely stemming from the incredible Feminine Mastery Archetype work of Cyndie Silbert. If you've been battling your ego, listen in to this episode to turn your ego from enemy to ally.

In episode two of The Soul Excellence podcast, I talk about change and transitions! I'm leaving my job and moving to Florida, so this topic is super critical right now.

I reflect on what made transitions in my past wonderful and set me up for success and those that hurt my relationships and sapped my confidence.

How do you transition - in your career, relationships, activities - with integrity and grace?
