Why Fear, When you can Trust?
On today's episode, I talk about how we get stuck in fear, anxiety and worry and how it keeps us spinning on the hamster wheel and keeps us playing small. When what we need to do is rewire our brains and our bodies to lean on trust. Trusting ourselves, trusting others and trusting the Universe to bring about something even better than we can even imagine - that's where the juice is! That is where life begins. So listen to this episode if you want to begin to challenge your own thoughts and ideas on Fear and Trust.  Want to start working on your journey? I have a spot open for a new client.

My 5 best tips for taking a personal inventory
On today's show I share my 5 best tips for checking in with ourselves. My 5 best tips for taking a personal inventory Search out feelings that need our attention Look fearlessly without disclaimers at what we are doing right with a loving and positive eye Look lovingly at a "bad moment" and find one thing you did right When an issue or problem comes up - identify it, openly discuss it with that person (if they are safe or with someone who is safe - like a coach) and then be willing to let go of it Work at letting go of guilt and shame and any needs we have to stay immersed in negativity- this is how we take care of ourselves, improve our self esteem and move away from old ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
