Letting go of the past can be incredibly tough, especially when we’re faced with moments we wish hadn’t happened or find hard to accept. This hit home for me just last week when my almost 92-year-old dad took a fall on cement. During those first few hours in the hospital, I found myself caught in a cycle of resistance, replaying it all in my mind, wondering what we could have done to prevent it—essentially arguing with reality. My lack of p...resence wasn’t helping my dad or the situation.
The world often makes us feel that the key to solving our problems and getting ahead is to speed up and push forward. However, we rarely take enough time to be fully present with our challenges. We often act in haste, driven by fear or discomfort with uncertainty, reacting without a clear plan. But when we can slow down and allow ourselves to be in the moment, we open up to where the situation is leading us, bringing greater clarity of thought an...d opening the door to new possibilities and opportunities. Listen to this podcast to learn how we can slow down, embrace the moment, and unlock new possibilities for growth. Ironically, slowing down is often the faster path to success.

This podcast aims to provide inspiration, encouraging us to persevere and pursue what tr...uly holds significance in our lives, even when faced with formidable obstacles or setbacks. This episode originally aired last year, but I thought we could all use a little extra hope this week!

I’ve had an incredible few months—delivering a TEDx talk, launching my book, and publishing articles in a major online outlet. But then, everything slowed down last week. Book sales dipped, no interviews were scheduled for that week, and I grappled with the emptiness in front of me. Instead of embracing the stillness, I resisted it—until I remembered that everything happens in this empty space, uncertainty is my greatest ally, and endless p...ossibilities are born from it. Tune in for the full story on how I reconnected with joy and the power of Maybe, and find inspiration to keep your dreams alive, not by grasping, but by allowing life’s beautiful new possibilities to unfold.

Tune in to my podcast for a fresh perspective on a more positive side of change and uncerta...inty, because for all you know, MAYBE the best is yet to come!

Even when pursuing our goals and passions, our need for certainty can limit us, causing unnecessary stress and suffering. We often become so focused on how things need to happen that we lose sight of being open to all possibilities, sacrificing our presence for a future that may never come. As a translation of a Rumi quote says, "What is fear? A non-acceptance of uncertainty." In this podcast, learn how to set your intentions, create actionable s...teps, and release the need for certainty and specific outcomes. By doing this, you'll stay present, resilient, and plant the best seeds for your future!
As I prepare for my first TEDx talk this Saturday, I’ve been revisiting some of my podcast episodes for inspiration. Yes, I listen to my podcast too! One episode from last year really resonated with me, where I explored a powerful quote by Jenifer Lewis: “We need to be happy on the way to happy. You carry yourself wherever you go.” Jenifer reminds us that true joy and peace can’t be sustained if we rely solely on the external world to hol...d us together. Instead, we must cultivate happiness and gratitude within ourselves, both during good times and when faced with challenges.
