Write A New Story 09/10/2025

Write A New Story What if your hardest moments were the doorway to your greatest gifts? I have carried stories that didn’t serve me for years until I was forced to look at the ways they kept me protective, disempowered, and disconnected from what I actually want. We hold on to stories because we’re afraid of who we’ll have to become if we let them go. We hold onto them because they justify our emotions. We hold onto them because we don’t know what will happen if we let go. If the story isn’t serving you or the world, it’s time to write a new one. /episode/index/show/pushingbeauty/id/38136170

The Most Important Relationship of Your Life 08/20/2025

The Most Important Relationship of Your Life Your relationship with yourself is and will always be your primary relationship. It is inherently the most important relationship you have, and it is a relationship. You have reactions to yourself. Every thought produces an emotion. Every action you take has an internal reaction. The more conscious you become about your relationship with yourself, the more all of your other relationships change. The way you think and feel about yourself directly impacts the way you show up with your partner, children, friends, cowokers, employees, clients, neighbors, and strangers. You are the common denominator. /episode/index/show/pushingbeauty/id/37884505
