240. I’m Back! A Big Life Update After Having a Baby (Following Guidance One Step at a Time)

It’s been almost a year since I’ve released an episode and since then we’ve moved across the country, bought and renovated a house (well, it’s still in progress!), birthed a baby, and welcomed another furry member to our family. I also released my first spoken word song. 

I’ve been hearing very strong inner guidance whispers to come back to the podcast. On the earthly plane, I’ve also experienced incredible synchronistic meetings and conversations that have pointed to the same thing… “get back to the mic!” I share some of these stories in this episode. 

So I’m following the guidance.

In this comeback episode, let’s catch up on life: I share the most memorable bits of my journey from last summer (when we drove across the country to move to the West Coast) to now, as I’m feeling a completion of my postpartum stage and feeling a new way of being, loving and expressing emerging within the expanded constellation of our family. 

 I share about: 

• My initiation into receiving 

• Our weird Airbnb experiences 

• Our road trip from Austin to Reno 

• Choosing to show up and share while the collective is in pain 

• Our annual trip to the Tucson Gem Show with an infant 

• Trip to Southern California and how our new dog Kobe divinely joined our family 

• My Divinely guided and supported first big flight with Zion

• The sign that gave me the courage to release my song, “Who Me?”
