I'm so grateful that you're here, and I just wanted to start off with that.

Recently I spoke at a conference, and I spoke about a step to worthiness that is constantly being overlooked. That piece is compassion, while simultaneously calling out systemic oppression. We often skip it because we assume that we will shame ourselves.

Instead of punching down, we punch up. (Thank you, Rose!!) Instead of living as a victim, we punch up.

As a bit of a throwback this week, I bring you my favorite episode about love. Just in time for Valentine's day! It was just too good to not share again.

Be the one that you are looking for.

This week's podcast is with my friend and client Joe. Joe shares about himself, and what brought him to this moment.

We spend the episode discussing not only his worthiness journey but how we came to work together. He shares what has changed, and what stories he no longer tells himself about his worthiness.

In this episode, I share a story about a real full-circle moment. It's like all of this time and things have come together. I have come so far, and yet I still have the same pit in my stomach.

This just says that circumstance doesn't change how we feel, or how we experience things. When you do something out of your comfort zone, you are faced with having to question your worthiness the most. Choose worthiness over and over again.

Firstly, give yourself the space to take time off. Although not the focus of today's podcast, but a good reminder. As we return for this year, I want to confirm that you need and deserve rest!

Do you seek the past of least resistance, because you want comfort? Often we equate comfort with safety, which isn't always the case and it doesn't always mean peace, right? Staying the same will bring about the opposite of peace.

I recorded this when we were in Ashville, and I wanted to share about boundaries. Today you'll learn what boundaries are, how you can set them, expectations, and what you actually have control over when you are setting boundaries.

I now consider myself a very strong boundary setter, and of course, that wasn't always the case. Prior to learning this skill, I was willing to sacrifice a ton, nearly anything, to please. Boundaries aren't personal, that's the lesson for the podcast.

know me, you know that I am not the biggest fan of resolutions, and sometimes we ask for things and then lack the patience to wait it out. Just because something doesn't happen when you decide you want it, doesn't mean it's time to give up hope.

'Bow your head, and move your feet.' Give grace to the universe and make progress. Move closer to the goal, and often you'll be surprised by the outcome.

Practice self-compassion. I could end it right there, but I won't. I had recently (as of the recording of this) had a rough day, and instead of pushing it away, I allowed it to be there. I took a step back, and I thought about how I could be doing it all differently. I allowed myself to be. I did what I needed, then allowed myself to sit in the sadness. I always have to remind myself in these times that '24 hours from now I will feel differently.' I have used this strategy since and I use it until this day. Allow yourself to sit, without judgment.

Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! Firstly, I hope you're enjoying some time away and enjoying the holidays! Slow down and enjoy it.

Secondly, don't think that you need to be thinking about starting or doing. You can just be. But here's a bit of a story about how I got started with my journey. The answer is affirmations. This actually started when I was quite young, and when I would go to bed at night I would share my gratitude and every goal I had.

In the long run, this single step started changing my relationship with money, people, family, and myself.

Another amazing THROWBACK on this Thursday!! As usual, this has so much power and is so needed! We're talking about intimacy, which can look like so many different things. The connections you have spiritually, emotionally, and physically. At the time of its original posting, I was working with couples to create intimacy beyond what they could imagine. That conversation can be so tough, but it's even harder to create without having intimacy within yourself. Otherwise, you can't be open to receiving it from someone else. How can we create intimacy personally?

In this replay, we chat about simplicity, keep it simple. We're all paralyzed by overthinking and overcomplication. We all have these big goals, myself included, and I struggle to know where to begin. I overcomplicated making a podcast for a whole year! So with that, I ask, how can we keep things simple? Think of a goal that you keep putting off, or telling yourself you're not ready for, are you making it harder than it needs to be?

This is such a FIRE message!! Listen up. I am not the girl I was, I am the woman I am. Run with it! We cannot repeat patterns in our life, and sometimes we are so afraid of repeating the patterns that we run with the story in our mind. That story is based on a past version of yourself, and this is normal. You are not wrong.

However, that story no longer works for you. I'm going to show you in this episode how to change it.

Happy Thanksgiving Worthiness Warriors! This replay is so ideal for this time of year and the holidays. What is the difference between boundaries and expectations? Typically, expectations aren't communicated however, a boundary is the opposite.

Expectations are a form of conditional love... if you show up this way I will give you love, but if you don't I will pull away. Too often we use expectations to form and decide our relationships. On the other hand, boundaries are a way of saying how important a relationship is.

This replay is pure gold. It's one of my absolute favorites. I woke up with a thought last night that I MUST share. The people who use empath as an identifier are often lacking boundaries. Say that again for the people in the back!! Do you relate?

Remember that with boundaries feeling, and feeling deeply is a superpower.

Another amazing throwback episode this week!! This podcast focusing on mindset is a mix of stories from my life experiences and a bit of coaching to work through it all. This was recorded just before my 30th birthday, and in celebration, I did 30 random acts of kindness. What a wonderful thing to do again now! So, here's your challenge, go do a random act of kindness.

Remember that your circumstance will not change until you change your mindset.

As we move through a season of refresh, renewal, and recreation we'll be posting some of my most successful and listened to podcasts.

This episode comes to you from Taos, New Mexico. What does it mean to you to go all-in? What would you need to do so? Going all-in means not having a plan b, and this mentality is really good at showing your internal limitations.

This episode is from a live I did with Rose from Rose Up Coaching last week, and it has so many fantastic nuggets of information that I thought I would share it with you for this week's podcast.

I'm so happy to spend my Thursdays with you, and today is no exception. Today I felt the need to stop what I was doing and record this for you! Thank you to my friend and colleague Rose, for inspiring me.

I'm learning more and more about what I have time for. There isn't time! I've had a lot of hard conversations recently, and I've learned to trust myself and I've learned who's opinions to care about! Now, that doesn't mean the other things don't sting.

This week we go a little deeper and get a little closer. This past week I lost my aunt, someone who is really important to me. This year has held a lot of grief for us, and I thought it would be a good time to talk about how to navigate it. As much as it sucks, it is a part of life it is the only known. For a lot of us, the last couple of years have really brought up how we were taught to work through these negative feelings. Learning to feel, both good and bad, helps you to feel something you've never felt before. There is nothing wrong with sitting in your pain.

Happy Thursday!! Hello from Maryland. Last week we spent some time in New York, and I want to tell you a bit about our trip. After a night with Sofar Sounds the third act couldn't make it, and they filled the spot with a sound engineer. This man was not prepared, and he was outstanding, to say the least. This person was also self-deprecating and didn't go out of his way to share himself and where to find his work. He was just as outstanding as the broadway actors we'd seen the night before, but they know their value.
