Coming Back to Centre in Times of Uncertainty & Overwhelm—Living the Questions Now
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. (Rainer Maria Rilke)This is a conversation about how to go about "living the questions," rather than giving into the mind’s proclivity to spiral into fear. There's a pressure to have everything figured out, and there's also available to us the choice to detach from this pressure, to practice returning to the present moment instead. This ep. is a reflection on resilience, intuition, nervous system regulation, and what it means to trust that clarity can unfold one step at a time. It's a gentle reminder for anyone navigating the unknown and learning to live more peacefully alongside uncertainty.You may also like...⁠⁠Meditations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — come home to yourself, clarity, money, graceful digestion, etc.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — to create spaciousness in your body and life, to become who you came here to be⁠Reiki⁠ - distance energy healingFind me on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mackbelcastro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Intrusive Thoughts, Expanding Capacity, and Doing More After a Period of Healing
Hi angels, in this episode we talk about a few ways to navigate intrusive thoughts (with the help of principles found in ACT). We also talk about expanding our capacity through slowing down and healing — and integrating more of our masculine/yang energy into our lives after a period of leaning mostly into our softness/yin energy.

In this episode, I delve into the transformative journey of channeling fear into creative energy and the profound impact of prioritizing what truly brings you alive. Inspired by the music of the past and the wisdom of creative icons, this episode invites you to stop waiting for 'the right time.' Instead, step boldly into the arena of your own becoming, embracing the unknown as a source of magic and transformation.

Love That Isn’t Loving: Trusting Yourself, Healing, and Sacred Lessons
Hi angels, this episode is about experiences some of us have with "love" that isn't really loving. I share an experience from 14 years ago that was tough, but ultimately taught me a lot, and helped me come closer to myself. I also share about healing from such experiences, and I speak about sacred/spiritual lessons related to such difficult experiences. I do hope this serves.

Lean Into the Fantasies, the Glimmers, the "What If's"
Hi angels, in this episode I share with you three journal entries from 6 years wherein I documented my journey from "maybe it's time to pursue my dreams" to "this feels good... but is this all fantasy?" to "wow, I've done it.. I feel so aligned." Finding these three journal entries was so shocking to me—they were the only ones in this journal, all spaced about 6 months apart, as if they were just awaiting being shared here one day. My hope with sharing these is that this will inspire you to lean into your fantasies, your dreams, your glimmers, your "what if" moments. They are not random. They are divine information, divine support, guiding you deeper into your own becoming.You may also like...⁠⁠Meditations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — come home to yourself, clarity, money, graceful digestion, etc.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — to create spaciousness in your body and life, to become who you came here to be⁠Reiki⁠ - distance energy healingFind me on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@mackbelcastro⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
