In this reflective and empowering episode, we dive deep into the subtle yet loud voice of self-doubt and how it impacts your relationships, mindset, and growth. Starting in our brand-new recording space, we explore the art of creating hope for the future and the wisdom behind Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching (Ep. 9). Along the way, we uncover insights about recognizing coincidences (shoutout to Dr. Joe Dispenza), embracing gratitude—even at Thanksgiving dinners—and reading signs from the universe.
Key takeaways include:
How to spot and shift negative self-talk, whether in your daily routines or during workouts.
Why meaningful relationships are essential and how to evaluate friendships with honesty and love.
The importance of releasing unhealthy dynamics and supporting others' creative ventures.
A timely reminder: You can’t take on new opportunities while clinging to the past.
And yes, we’ll discuss why ruling a country might actually be like cooking a small fish. 🐟
From tackling self-doubt to navigating personal growth with grace, this episode is packed with relatable moments, ancient parables, and actionable advice to help you take things less personally and live with more intention. Plus, Lola sneezes (adorably), and we solve the mystery of whether house phones still exist!
