info_outlineIn the first episode of the The Upgrade series on Food Heals, we explore the transformative power of incantations and why they are more effective than affirmations. This series is designed for purpose-driven people, creators, influencers, entrepreneurs, and rebels who are ready to live without limits and upgrade their health and wealth.
The big news is that I’ve moved back to LA, the city where I built my adult life and career. After a period in Florida, North Carolina, and two years in Nashville, I felt a strong calling to return home. While I loved my time away, especially in Nashville, I faced daily anxiety from a troublesome neighbor. This experience taught me the importance of setting boundaries and using powerful incantations to reclaim my peace. Affirmations weren’t enough; I needed the certainty that incantations provided.
Certainty has been a cornerstone in my life, even in the most uncertain times. In this series, we’ll delve into how to act with certainty, gain confidence, overcome imposter syndrome, and tackle anxiety, overwhelm, and depression to rewire our brains for success. I’ll share stories from my entrepreneurial journey, and share how confidence in my convictions and belief in myself have helped me achieve what once seemed impossible. And, how you can do the same!
On the next episode, I’ll dive deeper into my entrepreneurial journey and discuss how certainty has been crucial to my success, even during the most uncertain circumstances. This series is about more than just sharing stories; it’s about offering tools and insights to help you upgrade your own life.
I’m also thrilled to announce the launch of something bigger and better than ever before: THE UPGRADE MASTERMIND. This high-energy, year-long group coaching program combines everything I’ve learned and practiced over the past 18 years.
