As we wind down the year, headed to a new twelve months in 2025, we are starting a 4-week journey together. A journey designed to help you reflect on the most fundamental questions that guide your life. Together, we are diving into a question that seems so deceptive simple yet is so profoundly how for. That question is, What do I want? As we explore this question, we're going to uncover that the answers aren't just about surface level desires or even material goods. It's about uncovering your authentic self, your values, and your visions for the future. And by the end of this conversation, you’ll have practical tools to help you answer that question and help you start aligning your life with the things that matter most to you.

Are you moving through something big right now? You are not alone! However, we often think we are when we move through significant moments. In this space, we struggle to let go of what is no longer serving us because fear and guilt trump our needs and our perceived worthiness to have a grounded, healthy, and happy life.

And thanks to fear, many believe that letting go is impossible, traumatic, or downright impossible. This week we are doing just that through a one-on-one deep dive into the shadow side of healing. We’re entering a space where we consciously create a path for our deepest desires, the self-awareness process, and learning how to let go of people and relationships, heavy emotions and trauma, attachment, and the obstacles that stand in our way.

So, you play a number of roles in your life, all with expectations, from partner, mom, friend, colleague, child, perhaps sibling, and more. With so many roles, your attention and needs are often scattered, which can lead to you living in an internal storm of turmoil.

There is a path out of such feelings and behaviors. I sat down with mom guilt expert Melissa Peduzzi to talk about her method and tools to help mom’s everywhere show up as their best selves and create solid relationships with their children.

What does it mean to be in balance? That’s a question many have been seeking the answer to, and more importantly, the feeling and overall life impact of finding that balance.

While there are many ways to get there, one ancient medicine and lifestyle may hold the secrets and tools you seek.

That’s why I sat with Ayurveda expert and teacher Emilie Berger to chat about balance and how our lives interconnectedness, mindset, body, and harmony are found and created in small, purposeful increments. Emilie’s insights and daily tools can change your relationship with calm.

We live most of our lives in our heads, thinking, calculating, edging our way to the next, and in doing so, we often fail to be mindfully present and live according to our heart and soul connection.

Today, we make an effort to start the journey away from the mind and into a deeper, more soul-driven connection. I sat down with mindfulness and meditation teacher Fleur Chambers to talk about meditation, mindfulness, self-permission, connecting with the self, and what it takes to live in growth.

I sat down to have a riveting conversation with Psychotherapist Brook Bralove, who is a certified sex therapist. Get ready for a conversation that will open your mind as we break down how to have great sex, the female anatomy, the value of bringing tools into the bedroom, and we lean into what it means to be willing to try and how being open to having uncomfortable conversations could lead to a great sex life.

What does it mean to be radical and relentless? Once you know the definition, how do you get there? Being empowered is a full life shift and action. I sat down with therapist Allison Guilbault to talk about how we can step into our power and become radical and relentless with small shifts and focused attention that create massive movements toward loving yourself.

Let’s get right to it!

What does it mean to stay with yourself? Those are profound words with even more significant life implications. Staying with yourself involves personal integrity and self-respect. It means understanding and standing up for your beliefs and values and not yielding to the expectations of others. It’s a trueness that is raw, deep, and unquestionable.

But how does one do just that? I sat down with meditation teacher and coach Jessica Amos to talk about the ins and outs of self-discovery, staying with yourself, and leaning into the practices that feed you on every level, not just the one we show to the outside world.

Many of us struggle with the concept of being good enough. But, what if you are already good enough? While you may reject that idea in its entirety, I sat down with therapist Lisa Tahir to chat about connecting with yourself and proving your mindset wrong when it questions your worth and right when you are in alignment of what you need and want!

Let’s get right to it…

The ball has dropped, the calendar has changed, and it’s 2024. There’s so much possibility, potential, and energy waiting for you in this new here and now. So much, in fact, that today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into kicking off the year with a forward focus. We are trashing any lack mentality you’ve developed, tossing out the word resolution, and we are getting intentional about what you need and want.

So, let’s dive right in…

As 2023 winds down, we are turning our intentionality, focus, and desires to what is next. In every new chapter, there is something that must come to a close or be grown upon to take you to the next experience, the next level of where you want to be.

In doing so, there are often a few hard pills that you must swallow to get to that place. While growth is not the most comfortable thing we do, it is one of the most powerful. Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into those hard pills and what to do about them so that you can build a life of accountability and self-authority, refusing to abandon your needs and desires, and find a space of stability that you simply haven’t had the tools to touch before now…

Sometimes we crumble under the pressure of “toomuchness,” where you feel the need and desire to slow down but ALSO don’t feel like you can or simply don’t know how.

If you feel like you are constantly running into a wall, you are not alone! Slow living is a conscious, effort-driven choice. That many of fail to remember is always available to us. The thing is, even the most mindful person can still struggle with giving themselves permission to slow down.

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep drive into some of the signs it’s time for you to take a break and I’ll offer some grounded ways for you to care for yourself when you need it the most.

Anxiety, stress, and depression are all active in our world today, and none of us are actual strangers to any of these issues. Many people are living in fight or flight, in survival mode right now, and reaching inner peace feels nearly impossible, especially during the holiday season.

So today, you and I are going to take a one-on-one deep dive into turning inward and finding inner peace. It is not something that you can simply turn on. It’s not something that you decide to do, and then just do it. Inner peace is a state to be achieved.

It’s no secret that trauma changes us. What is a secret is how it changes your behavior, thought process, nervous system, and how it helped you develop ways to keep yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically safe.

I opened my computer and logged in to find an article that caught my attention on MSN entitled 10 signs that Indicate a Person Has Lived a Hard and Challenging Life (msn.com)

The article confirmed many of the behaviors I’ve encountered both with clients and even myself from my trauma. That’s why I thought you and I should take a one-on-one deep dive into the interesting things you may be doing without realizing it’s telling more of your life’s story than you may realize.

With the holidays here, there’s often an uptick in depression and loneliness.

So, this week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what loneliness is, how it smothers our self-love, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how to make small shifts to release feeling this negative emotion. Sometimes it’s as simple as realizing we are not as lonely as we think.

You have an inner knowing and intelligence, and if you are not using it, you may be working against yourself. Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into how to trust your gut and tune in.

It takes inner listening, trust, and faith in your internal guidance system. When we talk about trusting ourselves, the idea of gut feelings and intention often follows.

We’re breaking it all down so we know when to listen, and most importantly, I’m giving you a few tools to use that answer how to listen.

Emotionally sound people are deliberate about how they appear in the world. They understand their belief system and their core values. Understanding your value and belief system is so essential that you cannot become emotionally resilient without it. That’s why you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into understanding your emotions and values. Then, I’m handing over the inner conversation people with emotional resiliency tell themselves in moments of hardship. This internal dialogue is so important that it can change how you look at life. Let’s not waste another moment and dive right in.

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Control is an illusion.” And for all points and purposes, it absolutely is. It is also one of the greatest paradoxes we experience in life. We are to be in control, but not try to control every situation, while finding a sense of control to keep ourselves safe. It’s no wonder we screw this up and use control in ways that often negatively impact us.

That’s why you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into control. We’ll take a journey into the three root causes of control, and we’ll talk about repairing your relationship with specific outcomes, no matter what situations you may be facing. By the end of this conversation, you’ll have a new understanding of why the art of surrendering is so damn important!

So, let’s dive right in!
