My trilogy reflection on surrender and the creative process comes to fruition with this episode!

Kaladhara, with her just-beyond-a-new-moon crescent light, shows us that even when there isn't full clarity yet, there's still light. And what's more? It takes time to change and grow! Before a door can open wide, it has to start with the smallest of cracks.

I have a LOT to say today, on all different areas of my life! From my health and journey through chronic pain, the very beginnings of my witchy journey (hunt?), to finding faith that my job hunt is very nearly over, let's get into it!

In this episode we discuss the second of three spring oracle cards, on my quest to reconnect with creative joy!

Spring is in the air, and a lot of change is coming my way!

As my career, my love life, and more spring forward, my writing life has been quite... stagnant.

In this three part series, I'm going to be using the tool of oracle cards to gain some insight and reflection on how I might reconnect with my creative energy and put the fun back into writing.

The first card pulled in this three part series about surrender answers the question: What do I need to understand so that I can RELEASE what does not serve my soul fulfillment?

We throw the words "gratitude" and "thank you" around A LOT these days. And if I'm being honest, it's easy for me to just go through the motions when I'm giving thanks.

Today I wanted to talk about how my experience of gratitude is changing as I get older, and how I'm reconnecting to gratitude after LinkedIn has talked my ear off about it for years.

After turning 25 and having a miniature mid-twenties-panic, I'm realizing how special this time of my life really is, that it's fleeting, and why being young, dumb and silly should be a big priority.

From deciding to take the jump into a searching for "big kid" job, to shamelessly sleeping in late every day of the week, to trekking out on a big European adventure, this is what's been bouncing around in my head lately!

Today I want to share a really special part of my life with you guys— my writing!

It's not always clear what you should do next once you've gotten knocked down, and sometimes that confusion is the hardest part.

Someday I'll look back at this episode and see how far I've come. Cheers!

It's true. A massive part of the population is turning down job opportunities left and right. As workers continue to stand up for themselves, companies struggle to stay afloat. Who's being stubborn, and who's just surviving?

Something's gotta give— what will it be?

I've got a complicated relationship with working.

It's something I am more or less forced to do, yet at the same time I'm privileged to have a job that gives me lots of freedom.

Creating videos and blogs and podcasts makes me happy, but having my worth defined by what I create makes me feel anxious and small.

I want to do something meaningful with my life, but I want it to be meaningful to ME— not all the people I'm trying to impress.

I've come to see that I'm carrying around some core beliefs about work that are really holding me back from the life I want to live. So join me as we discuss!

I'm currently in the middle of a rather emotional move, and it's been making me think about motivation and workflow.

How do you say goodbye to where you are and what you're doing right now? How do you get yourself excited about the next step? These are questions we have to answer on the big scale— like when we're moving— but also on the small scale— like when it's time to clear out those unread emails from your inbox.

Today I'm mining my experience of moving for practices and ideas I can bring into my day-to-day workflow and motivation!
