  • 8. How to Keep Going When It Feels Like Nothing Is Changing
    Aug 18 2025

    Some days it feels like nothing is shifting - your bank account looks the same, the room you wake up in hasn’t changed, and the brave steps you’ve taken don’t yet show in your outer world. But this doesn't mean things aren't changing.

    In this episode, I open up about those moments of doubt, the pull to return to what feels safe, and what it takes to keep going when everything feels like it's not working.

    Topics Covered

    • How to keep believing in yourself when reality looks unchanged
    • The difference between fear-based pushing and soul-aligned bravery
    • Navigating doubt, exhaustion, and the pull of safety versus expansion
    • Seeing challenges and opportunities as portals into your next becoming

  • 7. Making the Move Before You’re Ready: Creativity, Identity & Trusting the Unknown
    Aug 11 2025

    Sometimes we wait until everything feels perfectly clear before making a move. But what if clarity only comes after the leap?

    In this deeply personal episode, I share what it’s been like to stand in the in-between: dismantling old boxes, feeling the pull of creativity, and learning to show up before I feel “ready.” I talk about moving beyond performance, letting go of perfection, and allowing creative energy to be a way of being, not a side project.

    If you’ve ever hidden, waited, or told yourself you need a label before you can act, this episode is for you.

    Topics Covered

    • How to take inspired action before you feel ready
    • Releasing performance energy and perfectionism in creativity
    • Dissolving identity boxes and labels to find freedom
    • Allowing creativity to be your life force, not just a side project

  • 6. Redefining Productivity: Finding Value Beyond the Hustle
    Aug 4 2025

    What if being bold didn’t mean being busy? In this soulful episode, I unpack the deeply wired connection between productivity and self-worth - and how it can quietly sabotage our creativity, clarity, and joy.

    In this episode, I share personal stories from my upbringing, corporate life, and healing journey to explore how hustle culture seeps into our identities, even in the name of ambition. Together, we unravel the scarcity loops behind over-productivity and explore the transformative power of slowing down, creating space, and honouring the generous, expansive present moment.

    If you’re navigating a season of change, this is your permission slip to let go of proving and remember the value that already lives within you.

    Topics Covered

    • How hustle culture hijacks our sense of boldness and self-worth
    • The energetic difference between purposeful action and scarcity-fueled productivity
    • Why creating space is essential for accessing intuition, creativity, and clarity
    • How to tap into the present moment as a portal to possibility, wholeness, and flow
