Sometimes life gives us a hard no when we were expecting a yes. This week’s episode was inspired by losing out on a house we truly wanted — a moment of disappointment that became a powerful reminder.

Trusting the Divine doesn’t mean sitting back and waiting. It asks us to be clear about what we want, to take aligned action, and then to trust when the outcome looks different than we imagined. Rejection isn’t always a stop sign — sometimes it’s redirection.

If you’ve ever thought, “That wasn’t the plan,” this conversation is for you. A gentle reminder that clarity, faith, and action work together — and that what’s meant for us won’t miss us.

House shopping can stir up everything — excitement, fear, hope, disappointment, control, and impatience — sometimes all in the same afternoon.

In this episode, we talk about what happens when the plan doesn’t unfold the way we thought it would… and how learning to let go and let God can create space for clarity, peace, and better outcomes than we imagined.

It’s about releasing the pressure to force decisions, trusting timing, and recognizing when something isn’t meant to work — not as a failure, but as guidance. Whether you’re searching for a home, navigating a big decision, or simply feeling stuck in the “what ifs,” this conversation is an invitation to soften your grip and listen a little deeper.

Sometimes the right door doesn’t open right away — and sometimes that’s exactly the point.

How often do we react before we’ve even had a chance to think?

In this episode, I explore how our first reaction to a situation is often driven by habit, fear, or past experiences — not by truth or possibility. We jump to conclusions, assume the worst, or label something as “negative” before we’ve paused long enough to see it clearly.

What if that moment we’re resisting is actually working for us?What if the thing we react to first ends up being a benefit, not a setback?

This conversation is an invitation to slow the space between reaction and response, to question our initial assumptions, and to consider how a shift in perspective can completely change the outcome.

Less reacting.More thinking.And a whole lot more peace in between.

A new year doesn’t have to mean new rules, new pressure, or a brand-new version of yourself. Sometimes, it simply means new thoughts.

In this episode, we kick off the year by talking about the power of keeping an open mind — expanding our consciousness, questioning what we think we know, and learning to see both sides of an argument. Not to win. Not to prove a point. But to grow.

As we move into this new year, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen more deeply, and loosen our grip on rigid beliefs that may no longer serve us. Because real growth doesn’t come from certainty — it comes from curiosity.

Here’s to a new year, new perspectives, and the courage to think a little differently.

Do you ever question whether life just happens or is their a bigger plan? Did we call things in before we even arrived or even while we have been here? Is it part of our journey?

Change is inevitable and often a really good thing. However navigating it can be an issue

We all have hard wired thoughts and beliefs....are they serving you or hindering you? Let's find the Divine in all of us.

Sometimes it's hard to see the light when the world and all it's issues are all over our devices and TV's. However, perspective is everything.

In order to grow we have to change. All Beliefs need to be challenged
