In this special live edition of the Recalibrate podcast, I explore the theme of passion projects with a series of guests, including David Nebinski, the host of the Portfolio Career Podcast.

Cue “Back in My Body” by Maggie Rogers because this girl is BACK. Today on the Recalibrate Podcast, I dive deep into my journey of homecoming and the transformative power of vulnerability. In this episode, I open up about a journal entry that I never intended to share—a raw and unfiltered glimpse into my thoughts and feelings. Little did I know, this act of vulnerability would create a ripple effect of connection and understanding.  I believe that the difficult feelings we often hide away are the very ones that bring us together. They remind us that we are all experiencing the shared human suffering. And by embracing and sharing our vulnerabilities, we create a space where others can feel seen and heard.  Throughout this episode, I explore the changes I've experienced over the past four months—transforming my entire life, yet feeling more like myself than ever. It's a journey of deep inner peace, contentment, and the ability to embrace all parts of myself without judgment.  You’re probably wondering, how did I get here? What caused this shift?   Tune in to discover the power of vulnerability, the beauty of shared human experience, and how embracing your truth can lead to a life of alignment, abundance, and self-acceptance. My Takeaways: 1️⃣ Embracing Vulnerability: By sharing a raw journal entry that I never intended to share, I created a ripple effect of connection among listeners. We have the power to connect through our shared human experiences and find solace in knowing we're not alone. 2️⃣ Contentment vs. Urgency: I have reached a place of deep inner peace and contentment with where I am in life. Instead of constantly reaching for the next thing, I have learned to sit with and appreciate the present moment. 3️⃣ The Power of Self-Discovery Through journaling and self-reflection, I was able to uncover the journey of self-discovery that led me to this place of transformation. By visualizing possibilities, taking action, and embracing my worth, I created a strong foundation of self-love and attracted incredible opportunities and connections.
