#014 - TRANSFORMATION ISN'T A LINEAR JOURNEY. THAT'S OKAY. Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode is about the process of transformation and how different we feel week to week, sometimes even day to day. I talk about my personal experience with sharing my life on this podcast knowing that my emotions and thoughts are constantly changing and evolving. Sometimes I feel anxious about what I put out there because I change my mind but talking about it helps me move through those fears. It's a really good reminder that we're allowed to change our thoughts, try new things and give ourselves the space (and grace) to keep growing.

#006 - Showing Up on Social Media When You Feel Lost: Let's Walk & Talk About It Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

How do we show up when life feels confusing? How do we stay true to who we are even when we're not sure who that is? Today's episode is all about showing up even when the path feels uncertain in life and business. I share my struggle with having to show up on social media even when I feel lost or unsure of what my future holds. I talk about my personal struggles with social media and showing up in general even when I'm going through an obstacle. We all have pivots, setbacks and changes that we go through, but how do we go through them and still show up? Today, I'll help you navigate through it.

Make sure you walk as you listen!

#005 - The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Let's Walk & Talk About It Aug 30, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode is about the stories we tell ourselves that keep us safe but stagnant and why writing new ones is essential for our growth. First, I talk about a relationship I stayed in for too long, why I was terrified to go, the unique connection that kept me in it, and how I ultimately decided to leave. Maybe you're struggling to quit your job or feel trapped in a particular situation or relationship that's good but not great. We all have different stories we tell ourselves to keep us from making a change, but hopefully my honesty and vulnerability can inspire you to write a new one.
