*Apologies for the last 3ish minutes where I recorded the end of the episode as I was walking back to my apartment and you can slightly hear my headphones knocking against my water bottle 😂 It's not that loud, but I want to call it out! Again - apologies 🙏🏻*
Okay, today? We're talking about a scarcity mindset and flipping from that sort of perspective to one of "I always have what I need."
I walk you through how I began to have a scarcity mindset from when I was a youngin', how this showed up for me in not wanting to use certain "tools" or supports or resources I had available, and the BIG mindset shift I had that started to change it all.
And you know we're going to be talking about this life being like a video game 😉 🎮 (My favorite analogy of all time, apparently!)
Short. Sweet. To the point!
To get ya thinkin'.

Is it exhausting getting all sorts of messaging on how to be, live, do, work, eat, sleep, be with other people, etc.?! Yeah. It sure as heck can be.
I’m not talking about guidance. I’m not talking about people just genuinely sharing what they have found to be awesome for themselves or encouraging certain things or offering suggestions. I’m talking about the “this is THE answer!” sort of stuff.
The stuff that can drag us down, if we let it.
The stuff that can influence us to give up our power, if we let it.
The stuff that can steer us from listening to ourselves, if we let it.
But we’re not gonna let it, are we?
No. Because we are unique humans. We are unique Souls in unique human bodies and I say it’s time we start living that way 😉
But we have to free ourselves to do so, give ourselves permission to do so!
I used to be bogged down by all the things I “had” to do, all I “had” to STOP doing, and all the reasons why XYZ was wrong with me. Until I came to this question:
What if everyone is right?
And it was one of the most freeing questions I’ve ever asked myself.
Today we talk about:
& lots more.
May today’s episode be full of freedom and permission ✨
Your new level is waiting 🎮

*Originally recorded for my other podcast Triple R: Recovery Revelations Radio!* But totally relevant for anyone. Very important message.
Since it was recorded for my ED-recovery-focused podcast, I talk a lot about finding joy in ED recovery. But not HOW to find the joy - rather that it is OKAY to find the joy.
That finding and feeling joy when others haven't and don't doesn't mean you are doing something wrong.
Or that you are being disrespectful.
Or that you are invalidating them.
We do NOT have to listen to widespread narratives about how ANYTHING (process, experience, etc.) "has" to be. Nope.
We get to choose a new way. Seek a new way. SHOW a new way.
What if we got to be examples? Not in a hierarchical way. Not in a "look at me and copy me" sort of way.
Simply in a way of showing what's possible...
But we can't do that if we hold ourselves back, think we're doing something wrong by finding and feeling joy, think that we're invalidating the experiences of others, think that what others say must be what's true...
No. We get to drop all of that and explore new ways. Remember...there are infinite...
(I also talk about how I have found so much joy in my recent AuDHD discovery - even while, yes, others find it challenging. And I experiences challenges, too! But there's nuance. Life ain't black and white. It ain't even gray. It's a rainbow...)
Get ready for nuance, encouragement, inspiration (I hope!🤞), and a beautiful (& loving) kick in the booty 😉 The world needs your light and joy! No more holding back 🙏🏻 No matter where you are.

*DISCLAIMER: I still don't love my intro! 😂 I just can't seem to get it to my liking...🤔 I'll continue to work on this, but I thank you for your patience 🙏🏻 Perhaps I'm being too picky 😉 ANYWAY...*
For this episode:
You're not always going to be on the same page with people in your life. That's just a fact! Because we're all in different reality bubbles...even though we're sharing the same reality in many ways! We're still in our own unique reality bubbles.
Because we're each on a different energetic frequency level (on? at? I'm not sure which is correct...🙃). When you're not on the same frequency as someone, you all just simply will not be able to fully understand each other. AND THAT'S OKAY!
No one is better than another. There's no forcing that needs to be done here! Just...acceptance.
Acceptance and staying in your truth. (That's not the same as being stubborn or arrogant, and you'll learn that in this episode!)
I want this to be a comfort to you, Sweet Souls.
This is born out of a recognition of my own tendency to doubt myself and my truth when others don't understand. This episode was also inspired by a recent even in my own life that I get into! And an Instagram post I found about resonance that articulated perfectly what was happening between me and this other person.
There are a lot of good nuggets in this short little episode.
Again, this is all about helping you lean into trusting yourself.
Standing in your power and your knowing. Living a Soul-aligned life, even when others don't understand!
That's powerful.

Your life has gotten more 🍌 (chaotic).
Things seem to be falling apart.
You've learned so much recently! Had so many breakthroughs. Healing has been happening left and right. So...WHAT GIVES?
What's going on? Why are things seeming to crumble???
Ahh... It could be time, Sweet Soul, to level up. You could be on the edge - right on the cusp! And you're being asked to let go. To shift just a little more.
It's a pivot point, a time for transition. Whatcha gonna choose?!
THAT'S what this episode is all about - a perspective shift to propel you forward 🚀

Remember last week's episode when I used my neurodivergence discovery as the jumping off point for the topic? This week is the same! In my journey to rediscover who I am and take off all the masks... I realized I've been hiding my joy and optimism.
Now, that may or may not have to do with the neurodivergence! Right now that doesn't matter. It just matters that I've made this discovery, because...
I wonder if you've been hiding your joy, too?
Have you been telling yourself that your joy, happiness, fun, etc. doesn't matter because the world is hurting?
Have you believed that you must choose between fully hurting with the world and being angry and enjoying your own life? That both cannot possibly happen at the same time?
Have you felt fear that others are going to put you down, call you naive, tell you you're stupid or wrong, etc.?
Me too.
So, we debunk all the myths around joy and changing a hurting world. We talk about how vitally important your joy is!
Deep breath.
Life can change for you today, Sweet Soul.

I'm uniquely wired 🧠 and so are you!
We all are, in our own ways, to some degree.
What if we started to embrace those uniquenesses instead of trying to force ourselves to change and be "normal"?
What if celebrating, embracing, and accepting actually leads us to transform our uniquenesses into their highest expressions?
Today we're diving into this exploration! I read you an upcoming (posting next week, at the time of this episode dropping) Substack article (where I'm also sharing my exploration into being on the autism spectrum and other possible neurodivergence uniquenesses 🧠🌈).

Have you ever been into personality typing systems? Taking tests and quizzes (not the Buzzfeed ones! 😂) that are designed to tell you more about your personality and who you are overall?
Maybe you've been drawn to Human Design or astrology to get a deeper look into who you are, who you came to this planet to be.
Those are fantastic! But not if we allow them to box us in.
Not if we follow them like manuals or rulebooks.
Not if we trade our authentic knowing with what they tell us about who we are.
Not if we succumb to labels and outsource our power.
BUT they can be awesome! And in today's episode, I break down some ways that I believe they can be awesome.
It's all about pointing us Within...👀
Where the Truth already lives! 🗝️
Let's explore ✨
Here's a Substack article that I wrote on this topic!

Your energy is precious and powerful. When you live in joyful alignment with your Soul, not living by logic (or logic alone), you bring your unique medicine into the world.
Wear the outfit. Choose those bright colors. Enjoy the nostalgic cartoon! Listen to the music, no matter anyone else's taste. Eat the food. Go after that career! Change your daily routine.
In alignment. Not logic. SOUL alignment, Sweet Soul 😉
EVERYTHING matters - energy is powerful. Energy impacts you, others around you, and your entire reality.
We gotta gotta gotta remember this because if we keep talking ourselves out of what our Souls are calling us to because they're not "practical" or "logical"??? We rob the world of magic and medicine.
And I know you DON'T want to do that! That's not what you're here for.
You're here to be Love, choose Love, change the world in Love - the Love that you are.
Yep, joy is connected to Love.
Childlike wonder is, too.
And fun.
And leaping in freedom.
Ahh...that's what this episode is all about ❤️
Meant to be a sweet, sweet reminder and encouragement! ✨
May you walk away with a different pep in your step 💫

Have you ever heard that all of life ultimately comes down to choosing love or choosing fear?
Things can seem cliche and we can easily brush them off until they become acutely applicable for us in some way! One day it just…clicks. Clicks in a different way. So don’t turn off this episode before you see where we go with this love vs fear thing! 😉 You never know if today something new could click for you…👀
But we’re seriously starting off by exploring this simple truth: Life really does come down to love or fear. And we gotta ask ourselves from which place we’re living. It can seem like we’re making all the “best” decisions in the world! But are they coming from love or fear? It’s a big difference, Sweet Souls.
THEN we also talk about the question: Is life more about living in alignment than trying to find and live by this one unifying objective reality for all humans? I wrote a Substack article on this that you can read here!
It’s a fun exploration and adventure today, Sweet People! Enjoy ✨ (& thank you for being here! 🫶🏻)

Let's explore what the heck the ego actually is! We talk about it all the time...we pit it against Soul...we talk about k*lling it...
What if we could take a different perspective?
What if we talked about it being our default setting that gets to be transformed via partnering with the Soul?
What if there are many aspects to what we collectively call the ego?
We're talking about these two questions and so much more today! Just exploring, Sweet Souls...just exploring ✨

We talk about how everything is energy all the time...has it become cliche? Do you just associate it with something perhaps...New Age?! (And that label is getting a pretty bad reputation nowadays, huh? 😉 See, I don't like labels. So we're staying away from those around here.)
But truly...the importance of remembering the power of ENERGY cannot be stressed enough. Sweet Soul, you ARE energy. We are all connected in a FIELD of energy. What you do, on an individual level, contributes to the collective field of energy - whether you take action to change something or not. (No, this isn't me saying that sitting around doing nothing is what we should be doing 😅)
Your energy is that powerful.
This episode is about a reorientation in focus, coming from the inside out. Aligning with Soul FIRST - then taking any action to which you feel *truly* led.
No more burning ourselves out. No more forcing. No more hustling. No matter being mean to our dear sweet bodies.
No more focus solely on the physical and then thinking about the spiritual stuff "when we have time."
YOU ARE SPIRITUAL! Your very Essence is spiritual. We're getting it backwards, my friends.
This isn't about checking out of being human - it's about another way to be human.
Again...a reorientation.
Thank you, Sweet Souls, for listening!
