Staring at own faces, day in and day out: what exactly is it doing to our self-image?  High exposure to perfectly symmetrical faces, with lush lashes, full, pouty lips, and Bella Hadid level cheekbones - has been proven time and time again to have a large impact on our self-esteem. Photoshop, editing apps, and filters are literally tricking our subconscious mind into believing this level of flawless beauty exists.  Unrealistic, unattainable images surround us. Our society encourages us to embrace digitally altered, flawless facades. What can we do about it? In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on the photoshop and filtering dilemma, zoom face  - how it affects our minds, how we inevitably talk to ourselves, and how that can be especially damaging for our mental well-being and ability to design an optimal future.

About this episode: Doing the work can be an intense and emotional journey that requires an introspective look at past traumas, childhood wounds, subconscious impressions, karma, and societal programming. In this episode, we discuss ways to do the work: methods, modalities, and the four steps to reveal and heal your shadows. By doing the work, we get closer to our authentic selves. We get more intuitive by revealing, healing, and transforming our scars. We begin to realize what our souls want to manifest in this world and stop living for others or out of fear.  Read more about doing the work from this blog post from Emily Campbell: What is Doing the Work and How to Use it To Heal. I’m also sharing green and red flags to consider if you’re interested in hiring a coach to support your personal or professional development in 2023.

About this episode: In 2019 I was achieving goals I’d set a few years before. I was traveling and getting paid to do it, had just published a book with a major publishing house, had moved in with my bf (now husband), and had the best friends anyone could ask for. Things felt bright. And then ‘20 forced me (like so many of us!) to make some significant life pivots — and on the other side, I realized, helllooooo! I’d actually been setting my goals too low. I was focusing only on what I could see right in front of me, on what I believed was possible in my current realm. This is not a bad thing, btw! Life is a constant process of evolution and celebration. When we notice a goal we’ve previously set feels too small, that’s an indicator it’s time to level up our lifestyle. We can do this by redirecting our focus, reconsidering our dreams, and restructuring how we spend our time. Today, I regularly set wildly ambitious goals, and I’m moving closer to them every day with less hustle and more flow. In this episode, I'm sharing 6 things to do more of to activate your manifestations for the year ahead plus 4 ways to upgrade your lifestyle In '23! Read more on the podcast blog.

About this episode: How do we feel lit up from the inside out? We get in the room with other people doing the damn thing. We find expanders who are achieving their dreams, making an impact they’re proud of, and making it look and feel easy. In this episode, I’m sharing a manifestation mantra from Olivia Butler that works, my year-end future casting practice (read more on the podcast blog), what I’m calling in for 2023 (and I’m getting specific!), plus I have a conversation with Leah Pardee of the Bare Naked Soul Podcast. Leah’s mission is to teach you to play in the present moment + release overthinking so that you can tap into your intuition and joy within. In 2018, she had everything she thought she needed to be happy. She was climbing the corporate ladder, had purchased a home with her husband, and had just obtained her MBA. Her life looked “successful” from the outside. Inside, she felt disconnected, lacked purpose, and was highly stressed and anxious. In this episode Leah shares her story of diving into mindset, spirituality, manifestation, and mindfulness work. We talk about: External versus internal happiness The search for “perfect” and how you began to release that The time Leah decided to give up makeup Breathwork and it’s powerful impact on our aging Embracing our bodies at every age Releasing resistance to enjoy life Want to chat about this episode?
