Welcome back!!! 💓 It feels really meaningful to be here again after taking some time away.

In this episode, I’m sharing a bit of a life and identity update: what’s been shifting for me over the past year, why I stepped away from the podcast for a period of time, and the honest answer to a question I’ve been getting a lot lately:

Do I still experience relationship anxiety?

The answer surprised me… and it might surprise you too.

In this conversation, I open up about what it actually looks like for me to still have moments of anxiety, while no longer identifying as someone who has relationship anxiety. I talk about the difference between experiencing anxious thoughts and being defined by them, and how my relationship to those moments has completely changed over time.

This week, I’m joined by New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and investor, Sahil Bloom, as he shares the life-changing insights behind his book Five Types of Wealth.

We talk about what it really means to design a life that feels rich (far beyond money). Sahil opens up about the wake-up call that shifted his own priorities and the simple daily practices that helped him rebuild around what truly matters.

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to live by someone else’s definition of success. Small, intentional actions can create profound change.

In this video, I share the 3 patterns I realized were holding me back, and how I’ve been working to reset them during Week 4 of The Artist’s Way (which, let’s be honest, took me way more than a week to get through… 😅).If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, or just in need of a reset, I hope these reflections give you ideas for ways to reconnect and move forward (even when you don’t have it all figured out).

I’m back for a (slightly delayed) recap of the Artist’s Way Chapter 3 - Recovering a Sense of Power. And to get your power back, Julia Cameron talks about bouncing back from feeling shame (unworthy, I am doing something bad or wrong, I am embarrassed of myself) and bouncing back from criticism (especially when the criticism is not helpful and leads to feeling more shame or ickiness!)—both topics I found SO helpful, especially this week.Later in the video, I get honest about my own feelings of shame this week, my aha moment about some criticism I received this week, and share how daily morning pages + my artist date went this week!Things mentioned in this video:

I’m back with a recap of Week 1 of The Artist’s Way sharing my key takeaways that go far beyond creativity. This isn’t a book summary, it’s sharing what was most helpful for me because I imagine it will also be helpful for you, too!Week one dips into creating a sense of inner safety (for our inner artists, but also for general life), why we stay blocked even when we say we want to change), the importance of letting ourselves be a beginner (and suck at things), and how to be on our own team instead of self-sabotaging.Stick around to the end where I share my honest review of doing daily morning pages, and what I did for my first ‘Artist Date’ this week!I hope this video encourages you wherever you are in your own creative or personal growth journey + I am rooting for youuuu.Things mentioned in the episode:

This episode is an open-hearted reflection on what the quote “The love I give becomes the love I get” brought up for me, and how it inspired the creation of a new July 7-Day Challenge inside the You Love and You Learn Patreon community. It’s a gentle reminder that even in overwhelming times, connection can be built through small acts of kindness and intention.

Whether you join the challenge or not, I hope this conversation helps you feel more connected to yourself, to those around you, and to the version of you that wants to show up with more love.

In this episode, I’m joined by Clinical Life Coach & Consultant and former therapist Mollie Birney to discuss the role identity plays in all aspects of our lives. We talk about why letting go of the labels we put on ourselves is often the scariest (and most freeing) thing we can do. Molly shares her personal journey from licensed therapist to coach, the concept of “freedom work,” and how we can stop trying to fix ourselves and instead be in relationship with the parts of us we’ve tried to avoid.
