This past year has been full of so many changes in my life - more than any other year. I thought I'd record a solo episode on what I've learned about embracing change and being okay with stepping into the unknown.

In this episode, I also share some research I found on the different fears that keep us from embracing change. These range from the fear of failure to the fear of not being in control, and much more.

I've found that embracing change and what we CAN control (our own reactions) is the only way to really thrive. The more we resist what IS, the harder it becomes to grow and learn from our experiences.

In addition, the more you know yourself, the more likely you'll be willing to step out of your comfort zone. As always, trust yourself and trust the process.

Robin Scott is a Social Worker & Founder of The Diary of an Empath, in which she helps empaths like herself understand their abilities, set strong boundaries, and find and live their calling.

Empath or not, Robin believes in embracing the idea of standing out: "the you doesn't fit in because it's not supposed to."

In this episode, Robin and I discuss the importance of self-awareness, setting energetic boundaries, some astrology talk, accepting the constant change in one's "authentic self," and why putting oneself first is necessary.

Empaths are often mistaken for over-givers, who sacrifice their own happiness for others. Robin and I discuss how that's not the case - how one can be an empath, while also choosing to put themselves first. How can you be the best friend/partner/employee/version of yourself, if you don't know who that truly is?

You can visit Robin's blog below to find more information on this topic and discover if you are an empath.

In honor of this being the 25th episode of the show (!!), I decided to go back to how I started this podcast and share a solo episode.

In this episode, I touch on the importance of remembering that social media is a combination of highlight reels. We must remember to differentiate between what we see online/entertainment and reality, in a healthy manner.

We've all dealt with comparing ourselves to what we've seen online and thinking we have to live up to a specific image to feel "good enough." Instead, let's aim to focus on our strengths and what makes us unique.

I hope this episode can inspire you to look at yourself with fresh eyes - to appreciate who you are, instead of who you think you need to be.

In addition, we must remember that everyone is going through something - even those who seem to have it "all figured out." We never know the full story, so let's remember to be kind to one another.
