embracing the present, appreciating the past - no longer stuck on stupid
It's time we let the past be the past so we can prepare ourselves for an abundant future. In today's episode, we get real about allowing old memories and experiences dictate our present and future. I'm absolutely guilty of letting old emotions guide my expectations of what's to come... but growing up is realizing how much I'm hindering myself.

reflections after reading atomic habits by james clear
After reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, I'm extremely charged to think critically about the small (atomic) changes I can make to my everyday in order to make my actions/habits congruent with the life I want to live and the person I am becoming. This is not a book recap... rather notes and takeaways that stuck out to me and inspire me in this season.

the ultimate pursuit of happiness
The ultimate pursuit of happiness is the journey of pursuing yourself. We spend so much of our time and focus on pursuing dreams, our goals, people… and fail to apply those same methods in pursuing ourselves. In this episode we talk a little more about this and go into actionable ways in which we can pursue ourselves.
I hope that by the end of this episode, you feel inspired to evaluate yourself and the way you treat yourself so that you can take steps towards being the best, most excellent YOU that you can be.
Key Takeaways
It takes intentionality to actively pursue yourself - analyze yourself and derive a plan to obtain the highest version of yourself.Pursuing yourself can mean a lot from giving yourself the deepest love to tearing down those limiting beliefs preventing you from reaching your highest self.Resources

Key Takeaways:
