WTF is “personal power” and how can you get some? “Personal power” is quite the buzzword in the coaching and self-development worlds. But what does that even mean? If you find yourself frustrated, blaming others, irritated, like something is just not quite right…hit play.

Learn how you can tap into your own personal power to feel more confident and create more alignment in your life.

In this episode, I cover common ways you may unknowingly give away your power using my personal experiences as an overbooked, tired lash artist as an example. We’ll explore the consequences of giving away your power and the importance of setting boundaries and taking responsibility for one's actions and reactions.

Of course, I can’t leave you without some actual strategies for tapping into your personal power starting with a powerful question…i.e. your homework for today! Plus, practicing self-awareness, setting boundaries, seeking professional help if necessary and connecting to your body through all manner of self-care.

In this episode:

• What is Personal Power?
• How We Give Away Our Power
• The Overbooked, Tired Lash Artist with Late Clients
• Owning Personal Power Looks Like
• What is Often at the Root of Leaking Your Power

On April 8th it was a solar eclipse and new moon - a powerful day for release, transformation, and new beginnings. I felt the cosmic vibes of shedding the old to make way for the new.

While listening to an episode from Amanda Marit’s podcast, Illuminated, I had an “a-ha” moment of clarity about the challenges and growth I’ve experienced over the past few years. Maybe there was a bigger purpose and lesson behind everything I went through?

Join me as I share candidly about my struggles with burnout, depression, giving away my power, and having to let go of aspects of my identity and former passions. It's been a painful but necessary "cocoon" phase.

Now, I am ready for a new phase.

Get ready for an insightful, relatable look at life's transitions and evolutions. This may just provide the reassurance and nudge you need to embrace your own new beginnings.

In this episode:

• Setting Intentions for the Solar Eclipse and New Moon
• An Aha Moment
• Letting Go - Careers, Identities and Dreams
• Burnout, Anxiety, Depression and Outsourcing Your Power
• Questions to Ask Yourself if You’re in this Space, too
• Trusting Yourself - It’s a learning process
• Embrace Stillness
• Own Your Power

Once upon a time, I was married. In this episode, I openly share my personal journey through said past marriage, the lessons learned, and the path to personal growth and self-discovery that followed.

Take a trip back in time, as I recount the relationship’s evolution, from meeting my ex-husband in my early twenties to the gradual realization of our growing apart.

I aim to highlight the importance of communication, aligning on values, and understanding each other's expectations. From my own naivete to the red flags to differing views on having children, each stone (or the most prominent ones I remember) that led to divorce is turned over.

In the end, I ponder the importance of learning from past relationships, making informed choices about partners, and the liberation found in prioritizing self-awareness and personal development.

While not every romance ends up a happy fairytale, surely we can grow from each experience, right? Tune in to hear all the bits.

In this episode:

• Marriage is what gathers us here today
• The early days and red flags (the hidden tobacco chewing)
• The ol’ cliche: “We grew apart”
• Feeling societal pressure as the divide deepens
• Communication breakdowns and mismatched values
• Lesson learned and moving forward
