    62. Repeating the Same Patterns? Let’s Look Under The Hood

    Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, even when you genuinely want to change? You've set meaningful goals, built better habits, repeated affirmations, and promised yourself, "This time will be different." So why do some patterns keep returning? In this episode, we're taking a look under the hood—not to judge ourselves, but to get curious. We'll explore how underlying beliefs can quietly influence our choices, why willpower isn't always the answer, and how looking beneath the surface can lead to more lasting change. If you've ever found yourself asking, "Why do I keep doing this?" this conversation is for you. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why habits and discipline are important—but aren't always the whole story. • How underlying beliefs can shape your decisions without you realizing it. • A more compassionate way to understand recurring patterns. • Questions to help you look beneath the surface instead of simply trying harder. Whether you're working toward healthier relationships, greater confidence, better habits, or meaningful goals, this episode will encourage you to trade self-criticism for curiosity and consider what might be happening underneath. If today's conversation resonated with you, I have a free gift for you. Download my Back to You Guide using the link below. It's designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin noticing some of the patterns we've been talking about today.

    61. Capacity for Delight

    What if the quality of our lives has less to do with what happens to us...and more to do with our capacity for delight? In this episode of Catching Sunshine, I explore a beautiful phrase I recently came across that made me look at everyday life a little differently. Together we'll consider why some people seem to find delight almost everywhere they go, while others need life to be extraordinary before they're impressed. We'll talk about fresh eyes, lowered thresholds, ordinary moments, and the possibility that our capacity for delight isn't fixed—it can grow. I hope this conversation leaves you looking at the world just a little differently...and maybe noticing a little more delight along the way.

    60. Creativity: You May Have More Than You Think

    A recent conversation got my wheels turning about creativity and what it really means. In this episode, I'm sharing some reflections and questions that encouraged me to think about creativity in a broader way. Not just as something artists do, but as something that shows up in everyday life more often than we realize. If you've ever thought, "I'm just not a creative person," I hope this episode helps you recognize your own creativity in places you may not have noticed before.

    59. Perspective: Power or Problem?

    How much of our experience comes from what happens...and how much comes from the way we see it? In this episode, I'm sharing thoughts about perspective. From a conversation at a historic home, to memories from childhood, to a rainy day at Disneyland, each one reminded me that people can experience the same thing very differently. It’s a conversation about assumptions, curiosity, and the reminder that there may be more to a story than we can see from where we're standing. If you've ever changed your mind about a person, a situation, or the meaning of something after seeing it differently, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.

    57. Energy Healing Q&A With My Hubby

    How do you explain energy work to people who’ve never experienced it before? And what does the spouse of an energy healer really think about all of this? In this episode of Catching Sunshine, my husband Dean joins me for a relaxed, honest conversation about the work I’ve been doing for decades — including the questions people ask us most often. We talk about skepticism, faith, intuition, what actually happens in a SimplyAlign session, generational patterns, and what Dean has personally witnessed after years of having a front row seat to this work. This isn’t a polished “expert interview.” It’s more like sitting at the kitchen table with us while we talk through the questions people are often curious to ask. Whether you’re brand new to energy work, quietly curious, or have wondered how this fits with faith and real life, this episode opens the door to a grounded, practical conversation about what I do and why I care so much about it.

    56. The Power of the Pause: Inspired Speed vs Pressured Speed

    Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do isn’t speed up — it’s pause. In this episode, I’m sharing some thoughts on decision-making, pressure, intuition, and the difference between moving quickly because something feels aligned… versus moving quickly because something feels urgent. If life has felt noisy lately, or you’ve been trying to sort out your next step, I think you’ll connect with this one. And if you’re in a season where you’re trying to sort through a decision, reconnect with yourself, or get clearer on your next step, I’d love to support you.

    How much do you know about the excavation of King Tut’s tomb? Maybe you’ve heard the story, maybe not— but either way, there’s a part of it that’s worth taking a closer look at. Not just what they found… but what happened leading up to it. This lesson is ‘gold’ and you might find yourself connecting this to something in your own life.
