• I Went Quiet for 3 Years - Here's What Changed | And on Leading your Life 09.06.2026 21min

  After three years away, I'm returning to the podcast for the beginning of a new era.The conversations we once had here were rooted in healing, understanding our stories, tracing the origins of our pain, and doing the inner work required to become whole. But healing was never meant to be the final destination.This season asks a different question:What do we do with everything we've learned about ourselves?How do we take the lessons, losses, growth, faith, and wisdom life has placed in our hands and build lives that reflect who we are becoming?In this episode, I share what changed during my three years away, from becoming a mother of two, to writing my debut book, to discovering that self-awareness means very little if it never translates into self-leadership.We talk about trusting yourself, taking ownership of your life, being willing to be seen, and why the next phase of growth requires more than understanding your story, it requires courage to lead it.If you've ever felt stuck between who you've been and who you're becoming, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we explore:• What three years of quiet taught me about growth and timing• Why healing is not the end of the journey• The difference between self-awareness and self-leadership• Taking ownership of your life and decisions• Releasing the fear of being seen• Motherhood, identity, and personal evolution• Trusting yourself enough to build the life you desire• How faith and divine timing shape our becomingJournal prompts and affirmations are included at the end of the episode to help you reflect on your own journey.If this conversation resonates with you, subscribe to the podcast and share it with someone who may need the reminder that they are not meant to stand on the edges of their own life.

• 38. Building Self-trust | Learning to lean on your own ability and inner knowing 15.02.2022 21min

  Do you ever doubt that you can make the right decisions for yourself? Sis, I used to. In the earliest days of my relationship with my husband I leaned on him a lot to make most of the decisions, even more, to help me with my own. I didn't trust that I was capable of making the right decisions for myself neither did I believe that I was capable of fulfilling the promises I made to myself Over the past years I've allowed myself to make those decisions even if they don't turn out the way I had desired but to also keep record when they do. This helped gain confidence in myself and trust that I can make my own decisions, and that a poor outcome didn't mean I was bad at making my own decisions. Self-trust is not saying you know all the answers, nor is it believing that you will always get it right. It’s knowing that despite the outcome you got you, you got your support and respect still. What's good is that we can begin to trust ourselves again. On today's episode I share about self-trust - what breaks self-trust and how to nurture it. I hope you do enjoy this episode.

• 36. Loosening the idea we have about self | How we hinder ourselves from living as our highest self 01.02.2022 20min

  What would you allow yourself to do if you loosened the idea you have about yourself, and still held your life as important? Imagine the freedom that this would give you, to explore your whole self. This is one of the ways that you could come to knowing yourself better this year. Releasing yourself from the idea you have derived about yourself, and going for the thing you have not allowed yourself to explore about yourself. Sometimes the ideas we hold about ourselves can be the thing that is standing on our way to experiencing our wholeness. But allowing yourself to do the uncomfortable thing that resonates with you or the thing that has always felt like the right thing to do can be the thing that will bring you closer to your true self. On today's episode I share some of the ways we may be standing on our way to to living as our highest self and from experiencing our full self while being attached to the ideas we have about ourselves. I share my personal experience and my one word for the year that aligns with how I want to feel this year and step out of the idea I hold about self. I hope you do enjoy this episode.
