In this episode, Spiritual Coach Jamie Aron and I dive into the messy, beautiful intersection of spirituality and being human. We talk about her book I Chose Not To and the awakening that shaped who she is today. Together, we explore the paradoxes between growth, purpose, and authenticity, learning how to stay grounded while reaching for something higher, and what it truly means to break from the norm and walk your own path.

After a nice long break, I am ready to dive back in and tell you everything that's been going on for me, including why I took a break in the first place, what I learned during the break, what major life changes have happened, and what you can expect for the future. I talk about the shame I felt having "fallen off the horse" with the podcast, and how I've been working on replacing the old narrative that says I always do this and I'll never succeed because I "can't stick to anything." I also get into a major path change and new journey that I'm about to begin that I can't wait to bring you guys along for.

We all go through hard things, and we all feel stuck or trapped sometimes... this episode is for those times. I walk you through my steps of how to reframe your mindset from "Why is this happening to me" to "Why is this happening for me" so that we can feel more empowered in our challenging circumstances. We don't have to go from zero to a hundred in order to change our lives. It's more about believing better is possible than it is actually making all the changes to have better in the moment. We can't control the future but we can control our reactions and beliefs. Don't let your negative thought loops drag you around and control you, learn how to control it by being aware of its patterns and learning of to shift them for the better.
