You've been feeling a tug on your heart coming from deep within...a calling to shift how you're expressing yourself out in the world.
No matter how hard you try to ignore this calling from your soul, it persists—inviting you to pay attention to it, get to know it and move forward toward alignment with this desire. 
And although this desire lights you up inside, there's resistance to the change this alignment would bring. A shift from your old identities, growing pains from shedding this old skin and a wide spectrum of emotions as you navigate this unknown space. 
For this reason, saying yes to your soul's desires and giving yourself permission to move toward a more aligned life is a sacred rebellion.
In this episode, host Dani Hickman and guest Emily Spring are diving into a vulnerable conversation about their own personal and professional journeys of creating a life aligned with their soul's desires.
Emily Spring is a Functional Medicine Physician's Assistant. Emily describes herself as a modern medicine woman—here to bridge the gap between science and spirituality; to bring various parts into wholeness, to help you discover the wholeness that already lies within you. 
In this episode, they're diving deeper into conversation on: 
Letting go of what no longer serves you The importance of slowing down and learning how to be present with yourself in the moment Learning to love the parts of yourself that feel hardest to love The role of grief in letting go and shifting your identity The power of saying yes to becoming the next version of yourself  Tune into this episode to hear this vulnerable conversation!
