Your body is always talking to you. Long before pain arrives, it communicates through rhythm, timing, and subtle sensation. In this episode of The Living Path Podcast, we explore how somatic listening becomes the foundation of self-esteem, sustainable work, and embodied leadership.
You’ll be guided through a three-part process for restoring rhythm in your life and business: entering the body’s conversation early, staying present long enough for meaning to form, and responding in ways that are small, sustainable, and aligned.
This episode is especially relevant for entrepreneurs, creatives, and sensitive leaders who are capable of pushing through but are ready to stop overriding their bodies in the name of productivity. We explore how ignoring subtle cues quietly erodes self-trust, while responding to them builds grounded self-esteem over time.
If you’re navigating burnout, chronic tension, or a sense of being out of rhythm with your work or yourself, this episode offers a grounded, somatic approach to restoring balance without force or urgency. It’s an invitation to slow down, listen differently, and rebuild self-esteem through embodied action rather than willpower.
I hope this podcast stirs something true in you; whether clarity, inspiration, or the simple hum of recognition. If you feel the pull, here are a few ways to walk further with me:

We live in a time of endless access to information, yet many entrepreneurs quietly struggle with confidence shaped by school systems that were never designed for them. In this episode, we explore how learning can become a powerful way to rebuild self-esteem when it’s done on your terms.
We talk about what it means to create your own “school,” why grades and applause don’t actually build confidence, and how curriculum, feedback, and integration can transform learning from endless intake into real capability. If you’ve ever felt smart but strangely unsure of yourself, this conversation offers a grounded, empowering way to let learning finally work for you.

Take the Journey Back to You: A Deep Dive into Self-Love
Ever feel like the world has been training you to ignore yourself? To push your own wants, desires, and instincts aside in favor of what’s expected, acceptable, or easier for others? You’re not alone. From childhood to adulthood, we’ve been subtly (and not so subtly) guided to prioritize everything but our own inner knowing.
But here’s the secret: the voice inside you: the one that whispers before you fall asleep or nudges you when something just feels right. It’s the foundation of self-love, and in turn, self-esteem, confidence, and a life that actually feels good to live.
In this episode we’re unraveling why self-love feels so complicated, even though it’s our most natural state. We’ll explore:🔹 What self-love really is (and what it isn’t)🔹 Why we’re taught to resist it (hello, societal conditioning!)🔹 How to actually practice it—not as a trendy buzzword, but as a daily, lived experience🔹 Simple but profound activities to reconnect with your inner self and start flowing love through your life
No fluff, no guilt-tripping, just real talk about how to reclaim the love that’s already yours. Ready to take that next step toward a life that feels more you? Let’s dive in.

Let's grow together! Because life...and all growth...is better together
Today we're diving deep into expectations and their impact on our self-esteem.
Last week, I had the chance to record an episode for my friend’s podcast and while the conversation itself was amazing, the lead-up wasn't exactly smooth sailing. It got me thinking about how expectations, particularly those we place on ourselves, can either lift us up or completely derail us.
In this episode, I share my own experience of juggling expectations: trying to prepare for something completely outside my comfort zone, expecting both success and failure at the same time, and how it all played out. Spoiler alert: when I let go of those negative expectations and embraced trust, I showed up fully. And the result was an improved self-esteem.
We’ll explore how these hidden expectations can sabotage us and, more importantly, how to shift our thinking to create a more positive outcome. Tune in as we break down the role expectations play in our self-esteem, and how to choose a different path when they try to hold us back.

How malleable are you?
That is the question we play with today.
How likely are you to soak up what other people say about you, or to you, and adapt yourself ?
If this interests you, check out today's process for figuring out exactly how malleable you are and what to do about it.
Once we have our strength and flexibility in balance, we can successfully navigate any situation and stay true to who we are at the core.
In other words, we have leveled up our self-esteem!

Today we return to the realm of money.
Why? Because so much of our self-esteem is co-mingled with the ebb and flow of this particular type of energy.
And speaking of energy, that's how we're going to tackle our money management today. Energetically.
Specifically, utilizing the framework of Reiki to generate and direct that flow of energy where we want it to go, to raise our self-esteem.

Motivational Triggers, as Brendon Burchard teaches, are a fantastic way to "trigger ourselves" instead of letting the world do it for us. (I paraphrase what he says about them).
Today we turn this practice into a way to bolster our self-esteem.
What better way to focus in on having the mindset to take the actions that will most help our self-esteem climb?

Are you looking for more wealth?
Two weeks ago, I was. Which led me to the subject of today's podcast. Gratitude.
We'll talk about wealth from a different perspective and pause for a moment of gratitude.
Just like I am going to do right here.
I am grateful to you for coming on this journey with me. When we take the time to value our self enough to raise our self-esteem to the next level, that affects the overall vibration of the planet.
We simply can't level up ourselves without leveling up the very earth we stand on.
If you're due for a pause and a moment to appreciate the world you have crafted around you, take the next several minutes and listen in.

It happens. Anger is a real thing and we have plenty of opportunities to navigate it.
What does it have to do with our self-esteem?
Plenty. And most of it's not good.
We've been taught the "rights and wrongs" of anger from a very young age. Mostly, we've been taught that the very fact that we Have anger is wrong. Then we've been taught that the way we "do" anger is wrong.
Today we explore everything from our tendency to suppress anger or our natural expression of it to different ways we can align with our nature to experience anger differently. All along the way, we're tapping into our self-esteem through deeper understanding of ourselves and developing mastery over this hot topic

Rejection sucks.
It doesn't matter if someone is letting you down lightly with an "It's not you....it's me"
or blatantly laughing out loud at the amazing new idea you just proposed to your team at work.
I'll say it again. Rejection sucks.
But it doesn't have to.
Today's series of steps is about looking rejection straight in the eye, sitting steeped in the emotions that arise and using logic to sort the real from the fiction.
I'll be the first to admit, the first 4 steps are pretty heavy. But if you stick with me, we add on two seriously fun steps to bring it all into a feel-good place!

Self-Esteem is an inside job.
Yet, sometimes on a subtle level, we let the things that happen in the great big world dictate how we feel about ourselves.
