889 | The Work You’re Resisting Is the Work You Came Here to Do
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I am sharing the idea that the work we often resist is, in fact, the very work we are meant to embrace. I reflect on my own journey of resisting self-care, slowing down, and tuning into my own needs, which I now recognize as essential to my personal and professional growth. For years, I believed that hard work and relentless hustle were the keys to success, but I have come to understand that true fulfillment lies in balancing ambition with self-care.

Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I encourage listeners to embrace their fears and recognize that waiting for the perfect moment to share their stories will only lead to inaction.

886 | Your Nervous System is Your GPS
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I'm excited to dive into the fascinating topic of the nervous system and its role as our internal GPS. I want to explore how our nervous system influences our ability to pursue our goals, particularly in the context of writing a book. As my publishing house expands and I embark on my next solo project, I reflect on the importance of feeling safe in our pursuits. If our nervous system perceives those goals as unsafe, we will struggle to move forward. Our conscious mind can set a direction, but it is our nervous system and subconscious mind that ultimately determine whether we...

883 | How Your Beliefs Are Blocking Your Ability to Receive More
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I explore the concept that our ability to receive—whether it be love, money, success, or visibility—is intricately tied to the beliefs we hold about ourselves. I emphasize that beliefs are essentially thoughts we repeat, often subconsciously, which create a filter through which we perceive the world. This filter can either open us up to abundance or limit us based on our self-worth and perceived safety. Throughout the episode, I illustrate how limiting beliefs can act as a "kink in the hose," blocking our ability to receive. I share a powerful example of a client who...

881 | Do Your Thoughts Match Your Vision?
Own Your Choices Own Your Life
In this episode, I reflect on the first six months of 2025 and how I unpack them before setting goals for the remaining six months of the year. It’s essential to acknowledge our resilience and the ways we responded during challenging times. Instead of focusing solely on external validation, I encourage listeners to reflect on their own internal growth and the lessons they have learned. There is this idea of a "gap" between our lofty goals and the subconscious beliefs that may hold us back. This gap can manifest as self-doubt, procrastination, or a fear of visibility. Our subconscious mind...
