You-est You®: Where Intuition, Spirituality & Higher Consciousness Meet Real Life

Pleasure, sisterhood, and investing, oh my! Calling all my sisters! You will love this empowering conversation all about moving past the fears, blocks, and doubts of real estate investing to a much more informed understanding of the 'hows' and 'whys' you have everything you need to get in the game. Kathy O'Neill, Crissy Freeman & Dr. Priti Chandran are powerful examples of what's possible in building wisdom and intergenerational wealth to leave a more extraordinary legacy.

Are you eager to do something that matters and feels good? Have you considered your next chapter, like helping people and getting a life coach certification? Wondering if you have what it takes to pivot and do something new or different?

There's a reason that the realm of coaching is on the rise. The art and skill of coaching one, when trained properly, can lead to inner transformation and positive life changes. In this episode, I sat down with a few of my Life Designer® coaches, who now use their gifts and skills to help various kinds of people get unstuck, unstoppable, and unleashed.

Each of these women is truly stepping into their best self and becoming their 'You-est You' as a powerful coach on a mission to help others break free from self-doubt, lack of confidence, and worthiness.

• Coaching is really about helping others to see their greatness.
• The answers are within each of us; learn how to do this for yourself and others.
• You can stop the negative self-talk and stories and rewrite your next chapter.

Meet the Panel of Life Designer® Coaches Kathy O'Neill

Kathy is a Life Designer® Transition Coach who supports clients with big life changes.

With a master's degree in public health from Yale University, her first career focused on the administration of public and private healthcare systems. Her second and longest career started in Manhattan, where she began producing TV commercials, web video content, and short documentaries. Kathy's third career as a transition coach draws on aspects from her first two careers: the focus on serving others from her healthcare experience, and from her years as a producer, the deep listening skills required to discern what's important to her clients and setting up systems to bring to fruition what has been learned from that deep listening and the story behind the person.

Dr. Priti Chandran

Dr. Priti Chandran is a former dentist turned Life Designer® coach. She helps stressed and overwhelmed individuals and their teams bring more calm and ease in all environments using mental fitness coaching as a tool. As a South Asian American, she's no stranger to sacrifice and persistence. After leaving a successful career as a dentist, Priti found clarity while lost in the fog of doubt and unworthiness with the help of her coaches. She thrives in creating community and facilitating safe spaces for individuals to learn, grow & transform.

Crissy Freeman

Crissy is a certified Life Designer® Coach who empowers women to say yes to themselves and return to the driver's seat after divorce.

Are you finding yourself about to start a new chapter in your life? Wondering if it's too late to start anew in midlife? Feeling like you might be ready to pivot in your career, relationship, health, or goals?

If you relate to any of these questions or are right in the middle of midlife, this episode is for you. I interviewed a wonderful former coaching client who is on a mission to help women in midlife rediscover their most important relationship, the one with themself, and how to attract their ideal partner.

Meet Laurie James

Laurie James is a mother, divorcée, recovering caregiver turned author, relationship coach, and podcaster. Her debut memoir, Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go, is about family, marriage, parenting, being an adoptee, and caring for elderly parents, but most importantly, it's about her journey from feeling alone most of her life to finding belonging. Now, she helps women in midlife and beyond find the freedom to redesign their relationships and lives to experience more joy and happiness and make the most of their second or third act. Laurie is a mother of 4 adult daughters, a free spirit, and a lover of nature, skiing, and sailing.

Key Takeaways:

• Getting support is okay, especially when you are a coach, therapist, or healer.
• Pay attention to your inner nudges. They are here to guide you for a deeper reason. Don't dismiss them even when they seem illogical.
• You're worth the time, energy, and investment in getting the support or coaching you need to do your inner work and design your next act.
• When relationships or careers fall apart, it's important to lovingly turn the mirror on ourselves to understand our part better.
• Make the most of your 3rd (or 4th) act! We all deserve peace, freedom, and happiness.

Take the Free Intuition Quiz To Find Out Your Unique Superpower

Have you ever been to a therapist or a coach? Are you curious to know what the difference is? Did you know that although they are different modalities, there are more similarities than you might think?

In this episode, I brought back my dear friend and colleague, Molly Carmel, a psychotherapist and certified Life Designer® coach, to dive deep into a fascinating topic that often sparks curiosity and confusion: the difference between therapy and coaching. Join us as we unravel these two transformative paths toward personal growth and mental well-being.

Molly and I had such a real and raw conversation about authenticity, doing the inner work, the surprising power of coaching, and why she chose to go through the Life Designer® Coach certification program.

Meet Molly Carmel

Molly Carmel, LCSW-R is a leading addictions and eating disorder therapist and Founder of The Beacon Program (Beacon by MC), which offers individual and group solutions to help people break free from their destructive relationships with food and dieting. Known for her irreverent, "straight talk, no chaser" attitude, she's also the author of the innovative book Breaking Up with Sugar: A Plan to Divorce the Diets, Drop the Pounds, and Live Your Best Life and the host of the podcast, What You're Craving. Molly has made it her life's mission to help people find a sustainable solution to the battle of obesity and related eating disorders. After battling an eating disorder for over 20 years and finding no solution in available treatment, she began her professional path and has never looked back. In addition to her extensive training in Substance Use and Eating Disorders, Molly is intensively trained in and has an undying love for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. She is also a certified Life Designer® Coach, trained shaman, Reiki healer, and certified Tibetan bowl singing practitioner.

How Does Coaching and Therapy Differ

First off, I like to say that coaching and therapy are like PB & J; they go beautifully together and are respectfully a distinct healing modality. While therapy and life coaching share some common aims, their approaches differ.

Both support self-insight and positive change. However, therapy focuses on addressing psychological challenges and trauma and diagnosing mental health issues. There is a greater focus on one's past and understanding, expressing, and healing past traumas and challenges.

Life coaching complements therapy by starting with the client's existing strengths and helping them set and achieve personal and professional goals for the future. There is a greater focus on the present and future, using the past to learn, grow, and harvest lessons. Coaches take a forward-moving, solutions-oriented, growth-oriented approach. The coaching relationship centers on accountable, empowered clients ready to create the life they want.

However, coaches recognize when clinical therapy is the right step. The two modalities can work powerfully together, with therapy helping people overcome obstacles from the past and coaching propelling them toward the life they aspire to create. Ultimately, both therapy and coaching are powerful tools for transformation.

Thinking of Becoming a Spiritual Life Coach?

Want to do something that fulfills a higher purpose? Eager to put your head on the pillow at night, feeling like you're doing good in the world? Do others naturally confide in you and share their deepest, dark secrets? If so, you need to check out the Life Designer® Coach Academy, a spiritual life coach certification that will give you the necessary tools, framework, proven practices, guidance, and experience to become masterful as a life coach.

Do you feel like you just can't meditate no matter what you do? Maybe you've been told you have a monkey mind that won't calm down. Or it feels impossible to sit still and be present with your breath and thoughts.

In this conversation with luminary Light Watkins, we talk all about how to find peace, calm, and serenity within your mind, and yes, through the proven power of meditation. Light shares a wealth of wisdom and teaching about how to change the way you view your mind, body and spirit, especially as it relates to meditation and finding true and lasting inner peace.

Meet Light Watkins

Light Watkins is a long-time meditation teacher and thought leader who has spoken and consulted at Fortune 500 companies worldwide on wellness, purpose, and enlightened leadership. He is the author of three best-sellers: The Inner Gym, Bliss More, and Knowing Where to Look, as well as the soon-to-be-released Travel Light: Spiritual Minimalism to Live a More Fulfilled Life. Light has written a daily dose of inspirational emails to tens of thousands of subscribers. He is the host of The Light Watkins Show, which is a podcast that features the backstory of luminaries who've created platforms for social good. In his online community, The Happiness Insiders, Light has created masterclasses and challenges to help spiritual practitioners around the globe embody the principles of "inner" work. Light is a "one-bagger" who has been living nomadically since 2018.

Key Takeaways:

• Take hope of faith.
• Give what you want to receive.
• We've told ourselves we can't meditate, but this isn't true. Start by sitting comfortably and making friends with your thoughts. Think of your mind as an ally.
• Don't let your fear of other opinions stop you from becoming your authentic self, i.e., your 'You-est You.'
• Investigating your internal emotional baggage is always the root cause of where, in doing more profound work, you'll find your inner zen, peace, and serenity
• To travel light, stop carrying around the past. The richest information about tomorrow is in today's moment.

Meet Monick Halm

Monick Halm is the founder of Real Estate Investor Goddesses. She is an educator and advocate for female real estate investors and has a mission to help 1 million women achieve financial freedom through real estate. Monick is herself a real estate investor and syndicator and owns, together with her investors, over 1000 rental doors across thirteen states.

She is a graduate of McGill University and Columbia Law School. She is the #1 bestselling author of The Real Estate Investor Goddess Handbook and Invest Like a Goddess - Advice from the Most Successful Women in Real Estate, a TEDx speaker, podcast host, real estate strategy mentor, yogi, world traveler, recovered attorney, wife, and mother of three amazing kids.

Monick grew up with two parents from Haiti who emphasized the importance of getting a good education and becoming either a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. Monick chose to be a lawyer but soon realized that she did not like the profession and found it to be soul-sucking. It wasn't until she was let go while pregnant with her first child that she realized the blessing of being given the freedom to try her hand at real estate investing. This blessing in disguise gave her the ability to start her business which now educates millions of women on how to invest like a goddess.

Investing Like A Goddess

Real Estate investing is not one size fits all. Monick shared a great metaphor to help you figure out your investment vision and how to reverse engineer it. She shared that if you were going on a vacation, you'd first figure out where you want to go. Do you want to travel abroad to the South of Frances (yes, please!), the pyramids in Egypt, the grand canyon, or perhaps a beach in Cape Cod? Like planning a vacation, you'll want to figure out your vision. For example, do you want enough passive income to retire from any job? Perhaps you want to be set for retirement and have a significant nest egg, or maybe you want to leave a fantastic legacy for your children's children's children. Clarify your vision first.

Next, you'll want to address what kind of trip you're taking. Are you going to be on a cruise, biking through the Alps, riding in an RV, flying first class, or perhaps hiking? Similarly, it's important to understand and choose the investing options that fit your greater vision, which might be investing in buildings, syndications, duplexes, single-family homes, etc.

Lastly, you need to know what resources you have available and how to leverage them. We talked about how having resources doesn't always mean money. It could be your time, your relationships, or even your experience

Why Women Fear Investing

In the past, it was dangerous for women to own their power. It wasn't until 1974 that women could get their own loans without having a man accompany them. Often the fear stems from not being sure how to invest in real estate or where to begin. Monick wants you to know that this is something anyone can do, whether you grew up on food stamps or with a family who owned real estate. Check out her free training on her website to learn more and get started, and get her book, Invest Like a Goddess. It's time for us women to build our own wealth, stability, and financial security.

The Goddess Secret Sauce

1) Pleasure - The new reframe is 'Pleasure through' vs. 'Muscle through.' Don't try to muscle through anything. This hyper-masculine way of doing life will lead you to exhaustion. Pleasure does NOT mean comfort, though. Remember, there is no growth in a comfort zone or comfort in a growth zone. Prioritizing pleasure is revolutionary and often uncomfortable.

2) Intuition - this is your life GPS! Don't expect your intuition to be logical. It doesn't run on logic, and rather, it is your direct line to your Higher Power that will show you the path best for you. The goal here is to learn to trust your intuition fully.

3) Mindset - your fears and limiting beliefs will keep you stuck and held back from abundance if not addressed. Much of your success will come from healing and moving past worn-out stories and beliefs that are not true.

4) Sisterhood - women are biologically wired for community and sisterhood. We are not meant to do life (or investing) alone. Scientific research shows that women experience a release of oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, with intimacy, breastfeeding, and in the community. We learn better and get out of the stress state quicker in sisterhood.

The Abundant Path

I love how Monick reminded us that we'll always have challenges and problems; it's part of how we learn and grow. The choice is whether you want rich life problems or poor life problems. Don't forget that you get to choose; her suggestion is to choose the abundant path!

Meet Eric Konolavov

He is also the creator of Relentless Goal Achievers, a private group coaching community for business leaders worldwide.

Transitioning to civilian life, Eric excelled in sales and leadership roles, consistently surpassing revenue goals and earning accolades. Motivated to share his expertise, Eric founded The Goal Guide to provide coaching and training services to entrepreneurs and sales organizations worldwide.

Eric was one of my earlier coaching clients back in 2015, and we worked together to help him design a life, and mainly a career, that he loved and that loved him back. Through the power of gratitude, intuitive journaling, and a willingness to redesign the stories he was telling himself, Eric has since created a thriving business that is focused on helping people to achieve their goals and dreams.

Episode Highlights:

1. Pushing Boundaries, Embracing Growth: It's time to break free from self-imposed limitations! Discover how pushing boundaries leads to immense personal growth and empowers you to achieve the seemingly impossible.
2. The Law of Attraction Unveiled: Have you ever wondered why some people effortlessly attract success while others struggle? In this episode, we unravel the secrets of the Law of Attraction.
3. Gratitude: The Key to Abundance: Gratitude is not just a fleeting emotion; it's a powerful tool to unlock abundance in your life. Join us as we explore the profound impact of gratitude on your well-being and how cultivating this attitude can attract more of what you desire.
4. Living Your Dream Life: You deserve to live a life filled with joy and purpose. Working with a life coach and becoming a life coach helped Eric to manifest his dream life. This episode will inspire you to take actionable steps toward living the life of your dreams.
5. Your Goals are Possible: You need to stop thinking about what isn't possible and realize that you are unlimited potential in human form.

Takeaways and Action Points:

Learn to set goals that challenge and inspire you to grow beyond your comfort zone.

Understand the principles of the Law of Attraction and how to harness its power to manifest your dreams.

Cultivate gratitude as a daily practice to attract abundance and positive experiences.

Embrace actionable steps to start living the life you've always dreamed of.

Basic Principles of the Law of Attraction:

A review for those of you who might need a law of attraction refresher.

1. Thoughts Become Things: The Law of Attraction is based on the belief that your thoughts have a powerful influence on your reality. Positive thoughts attract positive outcomes, while negative thoughts may manifest negative experiences.
2. Energy and Vibration: Everything in the universe is made up of energy, and each thought and emotion carries its unique vibration. When you emit positive vibrations through your thoughts and emotions, you are more likely to attract positive experiences.
3. Focus and Intention: The Law of Attraction emphasizes the importance of focusing on what you want to manifest in your life rather than dwelling on what you don't want. By setting clear intentions and maintaining a positive focus, you align yourself with the desired outcomes.

Meet Miriam Schulman

Miriam Schulman is an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where she helps other artists learn how to profit from their passion or become better artists. She's helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. Her art and story have been featured in major publications, including Forbes, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, What Women Create, as well as featured on NBC's "Parenthood" and the Amazon series "Hunters" with Al Pacino. Schulman's book Artpreneur came out earlier this year. The Inspiration Place podcast is in the top 1% of all podcasts and is listened to in over 100 countries.

Stop Abandoning Your Inner Artist

It's time to stop abandoning your inner creativity. We all have a creative side to our souls. Art matters to the world, especially during and after times of collective crisis. Art gives meaning to life and is a representation of each of our unique divine perspectives. Now, before you start challenging me that you're not that creative or an artist, I will challenge you to look deep inside and see that as a child of the Creator, you are inherently born to create.

In this episode, I spoke with a champion of artists and creatives (that's all of us) on how to honor your creative spirit, be it in business or even as a fun hobby. Join me here for a deep convo with Miriam, all about honoring your inner artist.

Overcoming A Poverty Mindset

Our brains have been programmed for safety. The more creative you are, the more you'll come up with stories to not take action or go for it. The same goes for the age-old concept of a starving artist and the idea that to be a creative, you must be poor, starve, or play small. Examine any messages you carry about whether it's self-indulgent or unrealistic to nurture your talents. A poverty mindset limits us from seeing the abundance we have to offer. What "enoughness" would enable you to claim your place as an artist? Your gifts don't need to be perfect or fully formed to contribute beauty and meaning.

Stop Procrastinating

Like any entrepreneurial endeavor, an artpreneurial mindset requires vision, grit, savvy, and faith in yourself. Remind yourself regularly why your art matters—to you and those who need it. Your creative work is sacred, even if it feels scary to share it. Start by dedicating small amounts of time daily to your art. Schedule it as you would other essential commitments. Overcome resistance and distractions knowing that momentum builds when you show up consistently.

Stop procrastinating and make your creativity a priority. Procrastination erodes trust in yourself.

You Are Creative

You may be surprised what opens up when you commit fully to your inner artist and creativity. The creator created you to shine and share your specific gifts. By nature, you are creative, and the world needs your unique creative genius—now more than ever.

Meet Marianne Williamson

Marianne Williamson is a bestselling author, political activist, and spiritual thought leader. She has been a leader in spiritual and religiously progressive circles for over three decades. She is the author of 15 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 14 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger, and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supports the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. Williamson ran for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020. And she'll be running for president again in 2024! To learn more about how you can support Marianne, go to: Marianne2024.com

This conversation was one I'd been waiting to have for years. I became a fan of Marianne's years ago when I read her book Illuminata and became interested in A Course In Miracles. Marianne is known for her brilliant wisdom, spiritual teachings, and social justice work based on the principles from A Course In Miracles. I recently read Marianne's book, "A Politics of Love: A Handbook for a New American Revolution," and was overwhelmed by her visionary perspective on bridging the gap between spirituality and politics. We discussed the tenets in the book and how to start shifting our relationship to politics and ourselves through the practical application of love, well-being for all, and social justice.

Love as a Transformative Force

Marianne Williamson asserts that love is not merely a personal or romantic sentiment but a powerful force for positive societal change. We discussed how politics devoid of love and compassion perpetuates division and suffering, while politics grounded in love can heal and transform. This is as basic as seeing a child who's hungry and feeding them. We are wired for love and compassion, yet somewhere along the line lose this innate connection.

Moral and Spiritual Awakening

Marianne calls for a moral and spiritual awakening among individuals and society, as a whole. This means changing our internal narrative of not being political, which I can relate to. She is urging us to take a stand for democracy, or we seriously risk losing our freedom. Marianne believes an inner transformation is essential for addressing the pressing challenges we face collectively, such as inequality, environmental degradation, and social injustice. This brings us to why we must all do our inner work to heal past traumas, resentments, and grievances. In other words, you must do your part to be your 'You-est You' before we can be our 'We-est We.'

Politics as an Expression of Love

Marianne also encourages individuals to engage in politics to express their deepest values and spiritual beliefs. She emphasizes the importance of aligning political choices with personal integrity, empathy, and a commitment to the common good. Love in action is how we commit to greater social justice and economic equality. This means we do our inner work to address systemic injustices perpetuating poverty, racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression. I love that Marianne focuses on love-based politics that can bring about meaningful change and create a more equitable society. As she shared in this interview, let us not forget Abraham Lincoln's poignant quote, "With malice toward none with charity for all."

Taking Personal Responsibility

Don't underestimate your importance and power in creating greater change for freedom, justice, and joy for everyone. Marianne stands for putting "A Politics of Love" into action by embracing the question, 'What is the most loving thing you can do here?', and a commitment to social justice. She takes a holistic viewpoint toward transforming our society and country.

It's Time We All Do Shadow Work

Doing shadow work means meeting the challenging and triggering parts of ourselves that need, want, and require our compassion, attention, and love. What is needed on an individual level is also needed at a collective level. We discussed the necessity of our society owning that in addition to our inner shadows, ego-based judgments, and 'attack thoughts', we also have this work to do on a national and collective level. This is something that we can all strive to do every time we embrace a challenging situation or person with love, understanding, and true forgiveness.

Your Thoughts Feed The Quantum Field

Whether or not you might realize it, everything about you is made of energy, including your thoughts. Your thoughts, whether kind, heart-centered, resentful, mean, or lacking hope, will feed your mind and body and the larger field of energy around you. Our thoughts contribute to greater collective consciousness. I like to think about it like the old cartoons where you'd see thought bubbles above the character's head. Imagine if you combined all the thought bubbles around our heads into one giant thought bubble. That's what the collective consciousness is — one massive thought bubble of energy and emotion generated by you and me. This means that what you're thinking and saying to yourself matters not only for your mind, body, and emotional well-being but also for the collective. Pretty powerful, right?!

How To Stop Your Negative Thoughts

We all experience in the ballpark of 70,000 thoughts a day. Many of these thoughts are negative, throw-away thoughts that don't add value or support to your self-esteem. The problem is that over time it's easy to start believing your negative thoughts, which leads to a cascade of negative consequences affecting your well-being and life. There is a way out, and it starts with greater awareness.

The simple way to know when you've treaded in dangerous negative thought territory is by how you feel. If a thought has you feeling overwhelmed, angry, resentful, envious, or lacking energy, you know that you're in the neighborhood of unhelpful thoughts. If thought is life-giving and for your highest good, you'll feel greater vitality, energy, and positivity. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor talked about this in past interviews in our conversation about her brilliant book, Whole Brain Living. She reminds us that we are emotional beings first, who then think.

This means that your emotions are excellent indications of the kinds of thoughts you are having. The good news is that once you learn how to become an observer and get out of judgment, you can develop the ability to change your thoughts quickly.

This transformative episode taught us the importance of overcoming self-criticism for mental well-being and personal growth. By embracing our imperfections, cultivating self-compassion, and building a solid support system, we can break free from the chains of self-criticism and embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. Becoming your 'You-est You' is a lifelong journey worth pursuing.

Meet Chef Whitney Aronoff

Whitney Aronoff is a Health Supportive Personal Chef in Laguna Beach, California. Passionate about wellness, the vibration of food, and supporting others in living their best life. Chef Whitney attended culinary school at The Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City and went on to work at farm-to-table restaurants in New York and Newport Beach. As a personal chef, she prepares custom meals and dinner parties for her clients and shares her seasonal recipes on Starseed Kitchen. In 2020, Chef Whitney launched a line of organic spice blends, sharing the custom seasonings her family has been enjoying for years.

Knowing that a healthy diet is just one layer of being well, in 2021, she launched the podcast High Vibration Living With Chef Whitney Aronoff. She interviews experts on healthy eating, cooking, wellness, beauty, travel, and spirituality to help others find the modalities and tips to help them feel their best.

The healthiest meal you can eat is the one you make at home. Chef Whitney aims to invite people into their kitchen, feeling empowered to make healthy choices for themselves and their loved ones and to experience high-vibration living.

Starting From Scratch

In 2014 Whitney was working as an HR manager for a company in Washington, DC, feeling a total lack of passion and excitement. She describes this experience as losing her spark and deciding to go on a quest to find out what lit her up. In doing this inner work, she rediscovered her inner girl, who loved food, health, well-being, and playing with food. She realized she wanted to attend culinary school and follow her passion for healthy food and cooking. After being let go from her position in HR, which she later saw as a blessing in disguise, Whitney enrolled in the Natural Gourmet Kitchen culinary program in New York City and changed up her entire routine and life by starting from scratch. With a blowup mattress, a few suitcases, and her books, Whitney headed for the Big Apple and immersed herself in culinary school and all things healing and health related to the culinary world.

Handling Forks In The Road

In starting from scratch to build her new life and business, Whitney shared the wisdom that building something viable and truly serving your niche takes time. After culinary school, Whitney had a fantastic job in New York, working for a well-known restaurant group, learning and enhancing her skills in various areas. Again, she found herself at another fork in the road when her father invited her to return to Southern California, rent-free, and try her own business. Chef Whitney decided to take the opportunity and learned another important lesson; it's ok to change and start new again. From this place of starting, she has built Starseed Kitchen, a successful organic spice blend company, a personal chef business, and a thriving show called The High Vibe Living podcast.

Changing Up The Recipe In Life

It's not only ok to change up your recipe in life but also to embrace that what you enjoy doing, experiencing, and eating now is probably different than twenty years ago. Our spiritual and inner growth need to allow for greater flow, change, and ease. She is learning now that it's time again to shift her energy and focus and spend more time on her self-care and reassess how she's working and serving others. This is a great reminder for us all to be open to the ebb and flow of life and natural shifts of innate growth and change. The important thing is to trust when it's time to change the recipe, and just like you might head into a kitchen with a variety of ingredients, let yourself play with what feels right and see what your soul comes up with. You never know what this next recipe will bring to your life and others.
