Many people wake up feeling like something is off. Their life may look fine on the outside, but inside they feel disconnected, tired, and unsure where their joy went. Beth Robins calls that feeling “soul vertigo.”
In this episode, Jim sits down with Beth Robins, creator of the Carpe Diem Seize the Day with a Smile movement and founder of the Seize the Day Academy, for a conversation about identity, purpose, healing, and learning how to live fully alive again.
Beth shares how a painful season of loss, transition, and identity crisis became the beginning of a deeper work in her life. Together, Jim and Beth talk about childhood patterns, self-limiting beliefs, the danger of holding on to a victim story, and what it looks like to start choosing your day with intention again.
If you have ever felt stuck, out of alignment, or quietly disconnected from the person you were created to be, this conversation will help you think differently about joy, purpose, and the choice you still have before you.
