Whether you missed an episode or just want a refresher, here are a few gems from this month's episodes. 

If you’re into Tiktok, you might have come across this popular Gen Z trend “main character energy”. It started out as a hashtag and has evolved into a meme where Tiktokers film themselves as main characters in their own movies.Because, who doesn’t love to be the main character, right? But in real life, sometimes we are unaware that we choose to be the supporting character in our own lives instead of embodying the lead role. That’s what we’re exploring on this week’s Ambition + Mischief podcast episode: Happy Main Character Energy ✨This episode is for you if:Are you waiting for permission from others to do the things you actually want to do?Do you feel like life is happening to you, and you always need to be on the lookout to defend yourself?Do you know you’re destined for more, but are waiting for things to fall into place or be given a big break before you can live into that version of yourself? If you enjoy this episode, please leave a rating + a review 🖤

This week's episode is for those that like to be in control 🙋🏽‍♀️ Those that have learned, over and over, that we're not truly in control, even when we think we are. Even when we have the most perfect plan in mind, it doesn't always unfold the way we think it should. I saw that firsthand during my time in Puerto Rico. I came here because I was following my intuition, and so I had an expectation that everything else would flow seamlessly. Stick around to explore:When times get tough and things aren't going "according to the plan," how do you show up? How do you know whether you're following your intuition vs. ego? What's the difference?At what point do you go from trusting to doubting and planning?Leave a rating + review if this episode resonates with you 🖤

Today is officially my first day back in the "real world" after having spent more than a week in Guatemala with Mayan elders. I'm still processing everything that I've learned over the past few days. But in the meantime, I wanted to share one of the most powerful messages that I'm taking away: Fire doesn't have to be feared; it can be sacred. Your inner fire doesn't have to be destructive; it can be healing. And the more powerfully you show up in the world, the more you invite others to do the same. 🔥More to come. With love,Sam
