This episode is about remembering one of the most important things in life - Enjoyment! How do we remember to enjoy, what do we enjoy as who we are now, how does enjoyment lift us through times of change?

Welcome to the second mini-episode in this new Love Says Podcast series called 'Helpful Tools in Times of Change' - this series will run until I begin my maternity leave.

I do believe one of the reasons we are here is to change — and yet change (planned or unplanned) can turn us upside down, bring up so many emotions and trepidations, and be overwhelming to navigate. I'm hoping these episodes help make that change a little less scary and little more miraculous, supported ... and enjoyable!

Welcome to the first mini-episode in this new Love Says Podcast series called 'Helpful Tools in Times of Change' - this series will run until I begin my maternity leave.

This episode was inspired by a conversation with my therapist that really shifted my perspective on discomfort — and ironically, brought me more comfort and peace overall.

Episode 30 is a deeply personal episode about where I've been these last 7 or so months.

This episode invites you inside my cozy recording nook to hear about:

• Some of the highs and the lows of our three year fertility journey
• Ways Love has guided me even when I felt disconnected
• The most challenging parts of pregnancy (and the most rewarding)
• An upcoming project with tools for navigating change
• What's next for our growing family

✨ Her evolving understanding of love from childhood beliefs to deeper, purer forms of love ✨ A series of unplanned events that led her to embracing anonymity and building community in New Orleans
✨ One superpower she wishes she had (that I think she already has)
✨ Why she believes travel is a mindset
✨ The lessons she learned from the healing, beautiful, profound experience of being with her mom before her death and during her transition

This is the miniest episode of the Love Podcast episode yet.

In this episode, I'll share a few things I practice before my head leaves my pillow in the morning — to connect me with Love before my day even begins.

It was inspired by a moment I had right when I woke up a couple weeks ago.

When my mind and overwhelm got to me before I could check in with what Love Says.

Have you had those mornings too? You’re taken down before you’ve even gotten up?

How do we remember to connect with Love right when we wake up? How can our day unfold very differently when we're already connected to Love? We talk about just that in this 10-minute episode.

 In this solo episode, we take a deep dive into FUN by exploring and sharing about:

✨The importance of reconnecting with our inner child and finding joy in our adult lives

✨How fun allows us to lift ourselves and create more space for goodness, creativity, and support

✨Why having fun is not about denying or avoiding suffering, but rather finding a balance between experiencing joy and being present for others

Love and fun remind us, we can't hold it all or solve it all, but we each have our own path and steps to take. And by embracing fun and connection, we can have more capacity to be who we are meant to be in this world.
