Embracing Fear- Turning Obstacles into Opportunities (meditation)
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
hi there soul friend! today, I am celebrating and doing a big ole’ happy dance! I found my editor for my first book! After finishing my book draft in January, I’ve been paralyzed by fear of failure and disappointment for three months, and haven’t done anything with it. Last month during my yoga retreat in Bali, I had a major breakthrough and haven’t felt this free in over three years! I’ve been working on befriending my fears to move through my problems towards possibly. So, last week, I did this meditation that I share in EP 194 of the MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST, and then...

Cultivating Potency: A Journey of Rediscovery

Hey there, I was on a call with my coach a week before I left for my Bali retreat and feeling frazzled of what to focus on – my new website? marketing? Bali? "I want to feel f*ck!ng POTENT!" I blurted out For the past 2.5 years, I've been drowning in overwhelm and busyness, feeling like a diluted version of myself—lifeless, and frankly, dead inside. My coach posed a question that hit me like a bolt of lightning: "What does potency look like for you this week before you leave for your Bali retreat?"

Practicing Ahimsa - How to let Go of Judgment
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hi there , Have you ever found yourself in the judgment trap, feeling inadequate and unworthy? Judgement isn’t just about criticizing others, but it also picks apart our flaws and magnifies our mistakes. It whispers cruel “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts,” leaving us feeling unworthy and unlovable. Often the judgments we make on others are reflections of our own insecurities and judgements about ourselves. The sad part about listening to judgement is that when we judge others, we close ourselves off from the beauty of their potential and the richness of their...

Embracing Imperfection- How to let go of perfection and imposter syndrome
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hey there, I have a vulnerable share. I’ve struggled with perfectionism these past few years, and it’s been so paralyzing that it’s silenced my voice and my gifts as a teacher and coach. In the online coaching world, the pressure to be flawless, to have all the answers and to be the expert has been overwhelming. Perfectionism has caused to show up inauthentically (hello imposter syndrome!) …or show up as a flat version of my personality… or worse - not show up at all!... only to be met with shame for not doing and being more. Perfectionism is like a sneaky thief,...

Hey there,
I was on a call with my coach a week before I left for my Bali retreat and feeling frazzled of what to focus on – my new website? marketing? Bali?
"I want to feel f*ck!ng POTENT!" I blurted out
For the past 2.5 years, I've been drowning in overwhelm and busyness, feeling like a diluted version of myself—lifeless, and frankly, dead inside.
My coach posed a question that hit me like a bolt of lightning:
"What does potency look like for you this week before you leave for your Bali retreat?"
In that moment, as I placed my hand on my heart and sank into stillness, I realized I'd been chasing after the future, instead of focusing on the present moment to feel how I wanted to feel right now.
It wasn't working. 🛑
My heart whispered back, "Pour into the gold that's already there."
It was a gentle reminder that I don't need to chase after clients or external validation or whatever in the future I think will bring what I want now.
My true gold lies in the students journeying with me to Bali. ⭐️
So, I made a commitment to pour into them wholeheartedly—and not to forget to pour into myself too.
I poured myself into them, and for the first time in 3 years, I opened up vulnerably about my struggles, my yearning to show up authentically and wholeheartedly like I did before the pandemic.
And you know what happened? MAGIC ✨
By sharing vulnerably (not perfectly), we connected - Others felt the same.
We cried, we shared, we released and we healed together.
To me, this is potency—feeling alive, connected and most importantly, FREE.
For the first time in a long time, I felt free – to be me. To share authentically, rather than trying to be perfect.
Damn, this is so liberating to remove the pressure we put on ourselves!
So, what makes you feel potent? What does FREEDOM feel like for you?
If you're ready to tap into your inner fire and cultivate a life that's vibrant and alive, tune in to this week's Mindful Pause Podcast.
And stay tuned! In the coming weeks, I'll be sharing more of my personal story about breaking free to feel more meaning, vibrancy and freedom.
….plus a sneak peek at a special offering I'm bursting to share w
