    reconnect to your true, authentic self: remembering who you are

    For the ones on a healing or self-growth journey Sometimes, we become so attached to the identity of the person we were when we were in that relationship, doing that career, or reaching that goal. So much so that we lose ourselves. We may find ourselves remaining in the identity of that past version of us because it is what's familiar. Therefore, it is what naturally feels safe to our brain & body. During this period of feeling lost, we may begin reaching out for external validation or external stimuli to find who we are. What if who you are is already within you? This is an episode about returning to the you who you were before the world told you to be someone different. This is about your true self behind the fear of rejection, the need for external validation or approval, & being seen. This is a chat for the parts of you that you had to hide in order to fit the mold of that relationship, career, or goal that was out of alignment from you. Listen to this when you are ready to come home to yourself, step out of the box of comfort, & live authentically to you rather than for others. 1:1 Self-Alignment & Mindfulness Coaching @ livemindfulandaware.com Connect with me on Instagram @mindfulandawarecoach

    CHANGE IS SCARY. staying unhappy is scarier.

    you deserve to live a life that you love. you deserve to walk away from what does not feel aligned. you deserve to plant seeds of your dream life, care for them, grow them, & watch them evolve. This pod episode is all about change. AHHHH I'M SCARED!!! exactly LOL Let's talk about the fact that change is scary & staying unsatisfied & out of alignment with your purpose & authentic self IS SCARIER!! While re-listening to this episode before posting it, I realized there was a part of me that needed to hear these words, so I am more than ecstatic to share them with you 3 Whether it's the relationship, the job, the friendship, the habit, the major....whatever comes to your mind when you think about how your life would change if you were living in your dream reality. ...if you are unhappy with where you are in life, what you are doing, or where your attention & energy is going, you deserve to initiate change. Hope, faith, & holding onto the idea that everything will work out "one day" can be a lovely, positive headspace to be in; however, we cannot allow that mindset to let us remain trapped in these toxic relationships, careers, or hobbies that are not serving our purpose, our passions, or the life we want to be living. examples: "One day, my boyfriend/girlfriend will finally understand me", "My job will satisfy me one day", "I'll start that project, hobby, or habit one day", "I can change them", "I'll eventually build my dream business", "I'll quit my toxic job when the time is right", etc. So, let's talk about embracing change despite it's fears, & how staying unhappy is even scarier. Let's ponder on overcoming the fear of the unknown, breaking free from toxic relationships, & living a life aligned with your true self. You'll know if this episode is for you. & to those of you, I want to remind you that you are more powerful than you think & are entirely worthy of living a life that you love & that allows you to fully express your most authentic, silly, & fun self :) If this pod resonated, send it to someone who you want to see happy 3 I offer Self-Alignment & Mindfulness coaching & private yoga sessions!

    Feeling Lost Might be Your Greatest Redirection

    Have you ever felt completely lost after a breakup, rejection, career change, or life just not going the way you planned? In this episode, I yap about why feeling lost doesn't always mean you're off track, failing, or doing something wrong. Most of the time, it's actually life redirecting you toward something that's more aligned. I share my perspective on letting go of opportunities, goals, relationships, and identities that we thought were meant for us, how to stop attaching your worth to external things, and how to reconnect with yourself when everything feels uncertain. We also get into mindfulness, emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, journaling prompts, and simple mindset shifts that can help you find clarity when you're feeling stuck or disconnected. If you're in a season of change and you're wondering what comes next, this episode is for you.

    You're not quitting, you're realigning

    In this episode, I talk about why quitting isn’t actually failure—and how it can be one of the most powerful decisions you make for yourself. I share my perspective on outgrowing relationships, careers, goals, and environments, and why you’re allowed to walk away from anything that no longer aligns with you. We get into the difference between quitting and realigning, how to stop feeling guilty or ashamed for changing your mind, and how to start making decisions based on what actually feels right for you—not what other people expect. I also talk about protecting your energy, letting go of what doesn’t serve you, and choosing a life that genuinely feels good to live. If you’ve been feeling stuck, questioning your path, or wondering if it’s “too late” to change directions, this episode will help you trust yourself and give you permission to choose differently. Topics include: self-growth, letting go, mindset shifts, personal development, mental health, self-trust, life transitions, and self-alignment.
