🌟 “When You Finally Realize You’re Doing Exactly What You’re Called to Do”
Sometimes, life gives us big, bold reminders that we’re on the right path. This past week, we experienced so many of those “aha” moments! During our October recordings, we dove into some incredibly eye-opening topics, and these episodes will be coming out in just a few weeks. Between the conversations and personal insights, it’s become so clear—we’re doing what we’re meant to do! 🙏✨
Just last Tuesday, I had a truly life-changing pre-interview with Lisa Sugarman, a suicide survivor and the founder of TheHelpHub.co—an incredible new mental health resource hub. Check out Lisa’s Linktr.ee here for more on her mission. Our chat was so in sync, like we were destined to connect! Supporting Lisa’s mission feels like such a natural fit, and we’re thrilled to bring you her full story in December. 🌈

🌿 “Anxiety is not your identity; it’s an experience. Allow yourself to feel, breathe, and take one step at a time.”
"I like to believe that’s our soul speaking to us. And if you let her speak, she’ll get louder and louder. And before you know it, she just takes over the show."
