I talk about my experience of transitioning from the Bay Area to Florida. After this whole process and standing where I am now, I realize that I can lean in more to trust that life will unfold and already is beautifully unfolding for me. I don’t need to always be in the driver’s seat. I also don’t need to pressure myself to reach for something if I am not truly ready – it’ll eventually become more clear and more easy when the moment is right. I can let go of some of my resistance, my gripping, and my expectations of where I want to be or think I should be. Because I realize that after 4 grueling months of internal tension, I’m exactly where I want and need to be – I just didn’t know it yet. 

I share this part of my journey with you because in some ways big and small we are all going through transitions. I hope my insights on trust as well as letting go of driving and resisting can help your journey feel more easeful and joyful.

Maybe it’s the changing of seasons for the nights are getting longer. I feel myself turning more inward again. The last 2 weeks I have been learning on a deeper level what it means to hold space so that I feel more connected to me, to other people, and to Mother Earth. I wanted to share with you 3 big lessons I learned as a result of not holding space well, and then learning from that so it can be done better.

Life can get crazy and messy and busy, maybe even boring. No matter what, I’m convinced that doing more of what makes you happy can help you get through all the slumps more gracefully. 

In this episode, I walk through all the benefits and tips from my own personal experience of putting this into action.

This month, I encourage you to take up a few more things that make you happy and keep it up. Reach out to acquaintances and see if they can become friends, go to that class that you’ve been thinking about going to for months, and start the meaningful project that you’ve put off! Give it all a try and let me know what you get out of the experience! Go be happy and feel free to share some of your own experiences and lessons with me!

I have been working at my parent’s company for more than a month now. And so much of who I am as well as my life has changed. Let me share some of my experiences and lessons that I’ve learned along the way.

My major takeaways from this past month are to slow down, enjoy what’s present in life, and take the pressure off yourself to be further ahead than where you are. I hope these takeaways can also be reminders to you! Stay tuned for more insights from my life and career transitions!

Exploring other possibilities can be both challenging and rewarding. To me, part of living a full life is being open to other opportunities and possibilities rather than always staying in the same lane. There are benefits to this and I discuss it in this podcast.

It is my hope that you decide to journey through the curves, hills, and valleys on your path to find what truly matters to you and consciously take steps to walk in alignment with your own values and truths.

Trusting your intuition can sometimes be hard because it requires an openness to experience possibilities that might seemingly go against anything you are planning, hoping for, or expecting. I have some tips to help you trust and develop your intuition. These are all things that I am also continuously practicing. The mind works using logic and reasoning, so it only speaks and understands this language. Thus, the techniques I mention use reasoning to help the mind relax and see evidence that following our intuition can be a good thing. Once you’ve practiced the above, you can start to let your intuition guide you for bigger decisions; plus, following it will become more automatic!

As we go through change, we inevitably have to let go. If we’re letting go of something that is dear and precious to us, this process can be challenging. So I wanted to share how I’ve made the process a little bit easier for myself. There are 2 major elements that I’ve found that have helped me: 1. Be curious! 2. Be gentle

Remember to be curious and tender with yourself when letting go. Being curious helps you be attuned to your experience and being gentle gives you space and time. Don’t force yourself if you aren’t ready for it! Before you know it, you’ll feel light and free because you’ve let go, and you don’t even know at what moment it happened! I’d like to hear from you. If you’re going through a letting go process, how is it going for you?

What does home mean to you? When you hear the word “home”, what feelings or images does this word conjure up? It could be a place or places, it could be where there is family, it could be certain feelings that are evoked, and it could also be a sense of being in alignment with purpose. I'd like you to reflect on what home means to you. No answer is wrong here, it’s just what is true for you and it can be different for all of us.

As an update, I’m in the process of launching my newest coaching service. Stay tuned for a revamp of my offerings! It’s coming soon and I’m very excited!
