  • How to Be Proactive Rather Than Reactive (In 2 Steps)

    How to Be Proactive Rather Than Reactive (In 2 Steps)
    Oct 15 2025

    In times of crisis or challenge, it’s natural to feel a certain amount of stress.

    But we often make things harder by focusing on everything we can’t control: what others are doing, what might happen next, or what’s already happened and can’t be changed.

    The more we focus on what’s outside of our control, the more helpless, frustrated, and reactive we become.

    But when we shift our attention to what is within our control we begin to reclaim our power.

    In this episode, I’ll guide you through two simple steps to move from reactivity to empowerment.

    You’ll learn how to centre yourself, clarify what’s truly within your control, and take calm, purposeful, effective action even when life feels chaotic.

    This practice helps you meet life’s challenges with more steadiness, wisdom, and strength.

    Over time, it trains your mind to stay focused on what matters most, and to act from presence instead of fear.

  • How to Let Go of a Grudge (and Set Yourself Free)

    How to Let Go of a Grudge (and Set Yourself Free)

    We’ve all felt hurt by someone else’s words or actions, and sometimes that pain lingers long after the moment has passed.

    When we hold on to resentment, it weighs us down, fuels stress, and closes our hearts.

    In this episode, I share a gentle, three-step practice for letting go of a grudge and setting yourself free.

    You’ll learn how to see the situation with objectivity and understanding, hold healthy boundaries, make space for imperfection, and choose forgiveness — not to excuse what happened, but to release the heaviness you’ve been carrying.

    Because when we learn to meet hurt and resentment with awareness and skill, it doesn’t break us, it awakens us.

  • Drop One Burden

    Drop One Burden
    Sep 30 2025

    Drop One Burden

    Most of us carry around far more mental baggage than we need to.Old resentments. Grievances. Self-judgment. Worries that loop endlessly.

    These mental burdens weigh us down. They steal our energy, fuel stress and negativity, and keep us from feeling the freedom and peace that are already here.

    In this episode, I share a simple but powerful practice: drop one burden.

    We’ll look at how to notice the mental baggage you’ve been carrying, how to discern what’s useful from what’s just rumination, and how to set down what no longer serves you.

    Even dropping just one burden can create a surprising sense of ease and lightness. And over time, this practice opens up more space for peace, joy, and wholeness in your daily life.
