Leaning into a place of trust that a much greater plan is unraveling that I cannot see. 

As I continue surrendering, I am uncomfortable but know that I am being supported and I am right where I am meant to be. Surrendering to the present moment because that is the greatest gift. 

Feeling lost right in the unknown. 

Trusting that the golden thread is being woven the way it is meant to be. 

I am so proud of you & I love you deeply,

How do we shift & lean into faith when we are in places of flux? 

Step into this space with me to hear how through my experience and journey. 

I want to encourage all of you to stay open to the possibilities. 

I love you through the contraction and expansion,

Integrating the nickname AB. 

A lot in my life has transpired, transformed, and transitioned. 

I spent 10 days at a Buddhist retreat center in the mountains to start my Grad program in Ecopsychology. 

Transcend and include, spiraling into the next level. 

We as individuals have to take responsibility for our own journey. 

Learning how to distinguish between other peoples lens of life and my own truth. Navigating the unweaving of acceptance that is rooted in others. 

The only consistent in life is the essence of shift and change. 

Through all the shift in my life, I am learning that I want to show up in the social world differently. 

The journey is just beginning. I love you all so deeply,

What an honor and privilege it was to have Jessica L’Whor in the Inner Dialogue space. 

It is evident that Jessica is intentional in every aspect of her drag journey. From the people she mentors to the stories she tells in her performances, it is inspiring to witness her. 

We got to talk about the birth of Miss Jessica for all age shows, the controversy that came with this and the importance of being able to offer drag spaces for all. 

I am in love with her sex & body positive messaging that she shares, the energy that she embodies, and her desire to always keep improving. 

Just like in her shows, Jessica always wants to make sure to leave you with the best experience ever and I hope you can feel that as I did in our conversation here. 

I love you, 

ABSD

I found myself needed some space. I am feeling proud of myself as I walk into a social media cleanse. 

Processing my online presence and how to hold my authenticity through my own lens and releasing the lens of others. 

Navigating balance in my life as I walk through the highs and lows I am experiencing. 

Every day brings something new to hold, understand, and be gentle with myself as I am in it. 

I love you,

This podcast is a journey of the process of me becoming me. I am unwilling to hide and silence myself. 

Navigating through the flow of what life is bringing me in my body, feelings, and environment. 

“Being seen feels unsafe right now.” 

It’s a lot. I don’t have all the answers. I don’t have it all figured out right now. 

Showing this side of the journey is important too. 

As I have been distracting, I feel like I am constantly just trying to catch my breath. This is not a perfect process. 

Creating space for myself to feel the things that are happening as they are happening. 

In the expansive moments and in the moments of contraction, I love you!

One of Caitlin’s gifts is cultivating connection & in this episode the connections are beautifully woven through all of the intersections we touch on in our inner dialogue. 

Helping people heal through the disconnection that has been taught to us and move towards the cultivation of abundance in life. 

Authentic, vulnerable connection ✨

I love you endlessly,

Alyssa Sweeney was ICONIC, but she is not what is now.  

This episode is vulnerable. As I make my way through this dialogue, I do my best to honor my old self as Alyssa. 

I really want people to know that when I look at my life as Alyssa, I see it as nothing but an awesome fucking life. 

I love you,

Episode 58. Grace in the Transition w/ GOLDbard 

Recorded July 10, 2024

We start off with a beautiful chant for this episode: I believe in joyful abundant possibilities. 

We can always turn to the natural world for comfort.

The example of animals being and using that as a lesson for ourselves. 

In our Inner Dialogue, we touch on Divine Grace, a mindset of hope, time in nature, presence, nourishment for our planet, abundance and so much more! 

Grace: tending to the comfort of your own body. In every moment, learning how to prioritize your bodies comfort. 

When grace is extended to us, it makes it easier for us to extend grace to ourselves. Transitioning to a life that centers my own joy and repeatedly giving grace to self in the process. 

To be willing to release relationships where grace is not present.

The flow of life is to give and receive 

Trees are spiritually significant - bridge between Father Sky and Mother Earth 

Trees - a feeling of home. “Wherever a tree stands, there is always space for rest.” There is time enough for it all. 

I love you abundantly, 

ABSD

Feeling grounded walking into the launch of A Better Standard Direction. 

Sitting in my energy and unknown the day before this launch. 

Coming out of the last 10 days and feeling like I am a different person. 

June was an incredibly abundant and hard month for me. Navigating a lot of big feelings inside of me with transitioning and the nonlinear journey of gender.  

The lens in which we view life through is how we internalize what we receive. 

I love you with grace, 

ABSD
