In this episode, I delve into the delicate balance between self-compassion and the pursuit of authenticity on social media. I discuss the intense pressure to maintain an authentic presence online and how this can affect our mental health. I open up about a personal tragic event in my life and the struggles I faced in sharing it authentically. It's crucial, I argue, to find a balance between being true to oneself and not losing sight of self-compassion.

The episode wraps up with my thoughts on prioritizing mental health and I share steps for you to practice more self compassion!

In this initiating podcast episode, I embark on a profound journey, sharing my decision to sell my home and relocate to Spain with my husband, all while navigating personal growth, loss, and the powerful insights gained from working with Ayahuasca.

The episode is, in essence, an initiation—a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. I open up about the deeply personal experiences of loss, including a recent miscarriage and the grief it brought into our lives. This loss, though painful, ultimately propelled us to explore the deeper layers of ourselves and our relationship.

As a couple, my husband and I faced the challenges of his dissatisfaction with his corporate job, leading to important conversations about alignment and purpose in life. This exploration prompted us to consider a major life change, such as relocating to Spain, as a way to honor our authentic selves and evolve as a family.

Throughout this episode, I stress the importance of intuition, adaptability, building a business foundation and model to suit our human design and making choices that resonate with our higher selves. These decisions have the potential to activate a higher life timeline, propelling us towards personal growth, alignment, and a more purposeful existence.

Tune in for an insightful discussion that delves deep into these transformative experiences, as well as the profound lessons learned along the way to empower you to find your tools too.
