It’s my birthday on Monday—my last year in my 40s—and I want to make it my most epic year yet. So I’m inviting you in to help me celebrate in the most me way possible: with divine dares. If you know my heart, my work, or this podcast, you know I live for those soul-expanding moments that spark generosity, spontaneity, and magic. So, if something comes to you that might stretch my heart open—bring it.In the spirit of that, today’s episode gets real. Because right now? I’m not in a season of fireworks and expansion. I’m in a season of contraction.And I’ll be honest: I don’t love it. I’d rather be expanding. But contraction—like the exhale, like the letting go—is necessary. It shows us where we’re still holding on, where we’re resisting, and where we’re invited to be radically honest with ourselves.So if life isn’t going your way right now… if you feel like you’re shrinking instead of soaring… this one’s for you. It’s raw, it’s real, and maybe—just maybe—it’s exactly what you need to hear.In this episode, we explore: • What contraction really is (and why it’s not the enemy) • How to find meaning when nothing seems to be working • The spiritual power of letting go • Why this might be the most honest season of your lifeAnd of course… I dare you to send me a divine dare. Let’s make magic this year.
