We’ve all experienced those moments in life that feel too good (or too wild) to be true. Where that *seemingly random* person, place, or thing connects to that other *seemingly random* person, place or thing. Or that resource, opportunity or circumstance unfolds in a totally unexpected but PERFECTLY aligned (and appropriately-timed) way. These are our “Godwink” moments in life. And they are the clues that help guide us on our unfolding life journeys.

My guest on the podcast today, Samson Odusanya — multidisciplinary transformation guide & teacher — joins me to dive DEEP into how we can pay more attention to these precious “breadcrumbs” and leverage them to live life in more alignment to our truest nature. Filled with incredible personal stories and reflections, Samson takes us on a journey into his own life, how he connected to his personal Godwinks, what it means to *actually* live in purpose and how we can all come back to remembering who we inherently are. It’s a POWERFUL one today friends 🔥💫

Topics Discussed:• Why it’s important to connect to our hearts over our minds• Godwinks — what are they and how to heed their guidance• The power of curiosity in guiding you to where you need to go• What happens when you adapt a completely new version of “reality”• How to find blessings in chaos• What is purpose? (Hint: it has nothing to do with what we do)• What it means to “remember” and come back to who you are• How breathwork can “sober us” and connect us to our bodies over our minds• Why we can’t escape our egos• How to overcome self-doubt and anxiety • Why it’s important to get messy and play when you are pursuing your vision• Samson’s favorite memory of homeConnect with SamsonInstagram: @samsons_strength

Ashley Abramson, Self-Love Mentor, Trauma Coach & founder of Big Miracle Energy, joins me on the podcast today to talk all things curiosity and perspective — why it’s imperative to living in deeper presence, connecting to your purpose, and ultimately, returning back to more love in your life. We also unpack the topic of fear, dive into all things mentorship (speaking to the dark side of the coaching industry) and discuss how to *actually* manifest the things you want most from life.

CHANGE. Whether we love it or hate it, many of us don’t know how to navigate transitional seasons of life.

Maybe we struggle with accepting the inevitable shifts that arise. Maybe we’re clinging tight to “the way things used to be”. Or maybe we’re so overwhelmed with all of the feelings, emotions and sensations of it all that we don’t know how to get through the process. Jessica Toomey, Holistic Health & Wellness Coach & Founder of The Whole Pursuit, joins me on the pod today to share her personal (and deeply inspiring) journey of overcoming some of the deepest seasons of change in her life — the loss of her father and the loss of her former identity in becoming a new mom. We dive into the topic of grief, how it cracked Jessica wide open, and how it unexpectedly connected her to her present day work in the world — now supporting her clients on their own personal journeys of change.

A beautiful example of someone leveraging their pain into purpose, Jessica’s story is one you don’t want to miss friends!

Topics Discussed:• Why health is way more than just food, fitness and the physical• Jess’ journey with grief after losing her father• How Jess turned her pain into purpose• Navigating massive seasons of change when becoming a parent• The major identity shifts and “deaths” that occur for women during motherhood and postpartum• The value of coaching & support in both our personal & professional lives• Why little things & small habits go a long way during seasons of change• The power of awareness and why it’s key to healing• Why you can’t force people to change, you can only plant “seeds”
