161: Your Body Knows Before You Do: The Message I Couldn’t Ignore

Have you ever ignored what your body was trying to tell you — until it forced you to listen?In this episode from Bali, I share the unexpected moment that stopped me in my tracks — and what it revealed about the connection between our pace, our emotions, and the wisdom of the body.It’s not a story about pain — it’s about awareness, intuition, and learning to trust the messages we’d rather avoid.

160: My Invisible Addiction: When Checking Became a Habit

What if the addiction stealing your focus doesn’t look like one?I thought I’d broken free from my phone — no social media, no endless scrolling. But in Bali, I discovered a different kind of addiction… one that hides behind productivity, messages, and staying “connected.”In this short, honest episode, I share the quiet moment that made me realize how easily my attention was being pulled away — and the small experiment that started bringing my creativity and calm back.If you’ve ever felt scattered, restless, or caught in constant doing, this might be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.🎧 Related episodes:• 85: Overcoming Alcohol Dependency with Mindset with Colleen Kachmann - https://youtu.be/4fVOG1lzJ74• 156: The Healing Power of Nature for Your Mind & Soul - https://youtu.be/LqTGwEhczuo🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

159: When Plans Fail: Divine Redirection in Bali

What happens when your plans completely fall apart? In this episode, I share the story of how my dream Bali home slipped through my fingers — failed transfers, rigid agreements, and all. What I thought was a disaster turned out to be divine redirection, guiding my family to a home and community that were far more aligned.This isn’t just about moving to Bali — it’s about trust, surrender, and seeing setbacks as protection. Sometimes the Divine plan is different from our own, and that difference is exactly what we need.✨ Takeaway: Closed doors aren’t failures — they’re guidance. What feels like rejection is often redirection.If this story resonates, share it with someone who needs a reminder to trust life’s detours.✨ Related episodes you might enjoy:• 151: What to Do When Life Feels Unstable - https://youtu.be/PvGGVUwMw4A• 150: When to Act Without Certainty - https://youtu.be/KzmxMyJWdGI🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

157: How Gratitude Raises Your Vibration and Attracts Abundance

What are you grateful for right now? Pause for a moment, close your eyes, and feel it. Gratitude isn’t just a cliché—it’s one of the most powerful daily practices for raising your vibration, shifting your perspective, and attracting more love, joy, and abundance into your life.In this episode, I share the simple yet transformative ways gratitude has shaped my own life and family rituals—including our candlelight morning practice. You’ll also discover the science behind gratitude, from improved sleep and happiness to Dr. David Hawkins’ emotional frequency scale that shows how gratitude calibrates at the same level as joy and unconditional love.If you’ve ever struggled with “superficial” gratitude lists or felt resistant in tough times, I’ll guide you through how to go deeper, create more presence, and unlock gratitude even when life feels messy. This is about more than just writing in a journal—it’s about living in a state of thankfulness that radiates into every part of your life.Related episodes you’ll enjoy:• 152: What If You Didn’t Have to Push Anymore? - https://youtu.be/i9FKwBd-gmc• 151: What to Do When Life Feels Unstable - https://youtu.be/PvGGVUwMw4A🎧 Enjoyed this episode?

155: Speak Up Without Fear: Turning Silence Into Clarity

Have you ever stayed quiet when something hurt you, only to feel the resentment build inside?Or maybe you’ve wondered if speaking up would cause more harm than good… so you swallowed your truth instead.In this episode, I share a real story about making plans with a friend, how silence created assumptions and hurt feelings—and how choosing to gently speak up shifted everything. This isn’t about confrontation. It’s about clarity. Because when we stay silent, we collect resentments. But when we share honestly and with love, relationships deepen and heal.If you’ve ever felt ghosted, overlooked, or afraid to voice your needs, this episode is your reminder: the people who love you can’t read your mind, but they do want to understand you. Speaking your truth is not a risk—it’s an act of love, both for yourself and for them.For more on building stronger connections, you might also enjoy:• 139: The Three Foundational Pillars For Making Any Relationship Last - ⁠https://youtu.be/EI72fbK6yuw🌟 Ready to step into your own courage?

154: What It Really Takes to Follow Your Dream

On the outside, moving to Bali might look like a dream. Palm trees, beaches, and adventure. But what most people don’t see are the sacrifices, the grief, and the persistence required to make that dream real.This is a story about what it truly costs to follow a vision. From saying goodbye to beloved pets, to unexpected home repairs, to letting go of sacred spaces and lifelong belongings — the path to Bali has been layered with both liberation and loss. I’ve had moments of tears, temper, and total surrender. Yet through it all, one truth remains: the bigger the sacrifice, the bigger the reward on the other side.If you’re walking through your own transition — whether it’s letting go, starting fresh, or pursuing a big dream — this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that grief and growth can coexist, that shedding skins is part of transformation, and that courage will always ask everything of you… but it will give you everything, too.“Always choose courage over comfort. That’s the path to your dreams.”For more inspiration, you may also enjoy:• 140: The Bali Dream - https://youtu.be/ZcqwPvCU9tE• 133: Holding On While Letting Go - https://youtu.be/cLtx8986-Hw🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
