It's inspiring. It's raw. It's real. It's the story of when I died and how I was brought back to life by 3 magical humans.

If you listen to this episode and it's the only one you hear, I'll be okay with that. It's THAT important to me. Thank you for sharing this journey with me!

I dedicate this podcast to the 3 angels who saved my life, Carrie, Jesse, and DJ. I would not be here without you. And also to my brother, Michael, for always keeping it real and never judging me. I'm so grateful we're finally rockin' this thing called life. I'm so proud of us. I know our dad, Mark, is too. I love you all.

P.S. This was written a few months ago. My podcast release was pushed back several times. So it's a bit behind.

Be well, beautiful soul!

Do you find yourself thinking about the past a lot? Or worrying about the future?

Me too. That's why today we are going to talk about our past and the lessons in it and how the tools I'll share can help us into the present moment. Once we reclaim this magical gift and the superpower it holds, our anxiety about the future melts away because today becomes okay.

A bonus episode, EVOLVE INTO NOW: Magic Materials for YOU! is also being released about the most powerful materials that helped me get to where I am today, along with a summary of what I learned.

Do mistakes make you feel worthless? Do they take over your mind long after they have happened? Have there been failures in your life that have scared you away from love, connection, or trying anything new?

For decades, I had unrealistic expectations of myself and others. I allowed those expectations to create beliefs that limited my potential and eventually my reality.

Today, I will share how I changed these views of myself and of failure instead of allowing those limiting beliefs to hold me back, scare me, or keep me from living my life to the fullest. And how mastering success has required me to master failure first.

THANK YOU FOR GROWING WITH ME!

Have you ever believed you were not capable of something? Or lots of things? Has the past shown you this is true? Have others told you the same thing?

For the last decade, I believed I was incapable of everything.

Today, I will share how desires can lead to intentions and guide us to thoughts and actions that create different outcomes than we have had. I used these steps to overcome being homeless, hopeless, and broken.

By opening our minds to possibilities and being willing to try, and especially willing to fail, we open ourselves and our lives to gentle changes that last and create space for more changes to come.

LET’S GROW AND EVOLVE.

Do you have a bad habit in your life that you’re tired of? Does it feel like it’s just part of you now, and you have no idea how to stop it? Maybe you’re not even sure you want to stop?

Me too.

Sometimes, changes do not stick the first time. Or the second or third. For me, change has been a challenge. Most days, I am all about being my best self. On other days, I am all about screwing that up and losing myself. 

Today, I will share my struggles, fears, and goals with smoking and nicotine addiction. If you’re
