On the final episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how listening and following the nudges to make a change can lead to a more authentic and satisfying life. I discuss how the more we can fill our own cup the more we can have the inner resources to selflessly give, provide for our communities, and do our part for collective evolution. I share a reflection exercise and questions to invite you to shine a light on what area of your life is calling for you to embrace personal evolution.

On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about how controlling your external world, even when done unconsciously with no malice, can be a tactic to control the discomfort in your inner world. I discuss how control is a protective mechanism that gives you the illusion of safety by avoiding the vulnerability that comes with surrendering into your emotional world. From trying to solve your partner’s problems to avoiding difficult conversations, I share a myriad of examples to shine a light on how common it is to unconsciously control in relationships as a way to control the discomfort with your own emotions.

On this episode of The Lightcast Podcast, I talk about feeling called to change courses in life. I discuss how sometimes we make an identity out of old versions of ourselves, relationships, jobs, and what happens when it no longer feels true to you. Whether we call this change, revelations, midlife crisis, quarter-life crisis, or soul searching, there is an aspect of ourselves wanting to course correct. I shine a light on how to navigate the uncertainty and doubt of forging a new, unknown path.
