Do you follow the rules or break them? Do you believe your success depends on it?  In this episode on the novel-turned-television-show Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, explore the motivations you may carry for following the rules and see how they compare to those of Elena Richardson. Mrs. Richardson believes that if she follows the rules, she'll be successful; if not, the world will come crashing down in flames. But Elena follows the rules at a cost: her passion. Do you have anything in common with her?

On the other end of the spectrum, Mia Warren sets a beautiful example of what it means to embrace life wholeheartedly and follow your inner guide. Against the stiff backdrop of Shaker Heights, OH, she shows what it means to be truly passionate and authentic. In this episode, I talk about what makes Mia so genuine and free In this episode, I talk about how Mia stays true to who she is and finds clarity in her values even when the people around her disagree with her.

As you listen to this episode, you'll be invited to explore the walls and barriers you've created for yourself. Those blocks and limiting beliefs accumulate and keep us small; the way out of those blocks is by acknowledging they're there and directly confronting them, like Izzy does. This meditation is your guide to do just that. Reframe your inner dialogue to allow more expansion, authenticity, and passion in your life. Life's too short to hold onto those limiting beliefs for very long. This episode is a reminder that you have the power to make (and break) your own rules.
