If we speak or write for long enough, we uncover what's really bothering us and what really needs to be addressed. This week, I find out that the TV is pissing me off and ruining my laundry time. But it's much bigger than that. In this week's episode, I explore how changes in my routines result in BIG emotions, how my childhood affected the way I maintain my mental space, and why radical and vulnerable communication at all times is imperative for functional, supportive, and successful relationships.

OMG you guys I'm so excited for this episode! Maria and I get into all of our woowoo rituals and practices and analyze what kickstarted our spiritual journeys. We run through topics like the power of manifestation, what marriage is like, breath work for higher consciousness, and finding ourselves again.

It's a short one, but it's a good one. So many of us fear that we've reached our peak too early? If the best times of our lives were in high school or college, what else is there? Is it all downhill from here? In this week's episode, Suzy explores what it means to peak and her own fear around the fact that she thinks she peaked already. But, does one only peak once, or are there many opportunities to do so? How much control do we have over our peaks? What lessons are there to be learned?

What truths would we discover about ourselves and our purpose if we didn't adhere to the idea that some skills are more valued than others? How much more joy or progress in our own development would we experience if we aligned with our truest selves instead of forcing our lives into the mold of what is "best." Perhaps it takes incredible boldness and courage to align yourself with your design and find flow, purpose, and joy as a result. Perhaps unhealthy stress and anxiety is our body's way of telling us that we are not aligned with our purpose and design. Maybe we should listen to that intuition a bit more closely. In today's episode, Suzy ponders these questions as she admits something that she's been keeping to herself for years: she's NOT a leader. She's realizing that she thrives the most in the background, as a follower, Is there or will there ever be a place in society in which this role is celebrated as equally as important as being a "leader" in the workplace, home, and community?

In this week's episode of Unbranded w/ MsDeanLovesYou, Suzy discusses her relationship with goals from her childhood to now. She analyzes how she tied her goals to her identity (similar to her career as a teacher), the way that her tunnel vision kept her from having a typical teenagerhood, how she depleted herself for the sake of her aspirations, and how everything seemed to fall into place once she let go of them. Suzy ponders the role that goals have in our life and at what point they can become unhealthy and impede on what is meant to be. How much do we miss out on when we don't let go to allow life to unfold as it is meant to?
