    53. Embrace the Flow: The Power of Acceptance to Manifest Your Dream Life

    🌼 JOIN THE BIG TALK SOCIETY NOW: patreon.com/sgbt 🧡 📒 BOOK I MENTIONED: Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman In this episode, we’re diving into the power of acceptance as part of our series, Foundations for a Fresh Start. This series is all about exploring topics that lay the groundwork for an incredible 2025, and today’s conversation is one that can truly transform the way you live your life. We’ll explore what it means to accept that we can’t control everything that happens to us. From releasing the grip on our past identity to letting go of societal expectations of what our life "should" look like, this episode is all about finding freedom in surrender. I’ll also dive into the idea that our time on this earth is limited, which makes it all the more important to live intentionally and focus on what truly matters. If you’ve been feeling stuck, weighed down by perfectionism, or like you’re constantly chasing an unattainable ideal, this episode is here to remind you that acceptance isn’t about giving up—it’s about leaning into the flow of life. When you let go, you create space for the dream life you’ve always wanted to unfold naturally. Together, we’ll uncover the beauty of acceptance and how it can help you manifest a life that feels truly aligned with your purpose. Let’s take that first step toward living with more ease and intention as we set the stage for an incredible new year ahead!

    52: 3 Mindset Shifts to Break Free from Perfectionism and Start Creating (📣 Join My Patreon Community!)

    🌼 JOIN THE BIG TALK SOCIETY NOW: patreon.com/sgbt 🧡 As we approach the end of the year, we’re wrapping up the season with a series called Foundations for a Fresh Start—where we’ll dive into topics that lay the groundwork for an incredible 2025. We’re kicking off this series with a theme that hits close to home: PERFECTIONISM. If you’ve ever felt held back by the need to have everything figured out before you even start, or if the fear of not being “good enough” has kept you from pursuing your dreams, this episode is for you. Together, we’ll explore three essential mindset shifts to help you finally break free from perfectionism and create with confidence. We’ll talk about why it’s okay not to have all the answers, why embracing imperfection is the key to growth, and how to stop letting your self-worth be defined by your results. These are actionable steps I’ve learned and lived, and I’m here to share them in the hope that they unlock something within you, too. If you’re ready to let go of the need for perfection, join The Big Talk Society—a community where we lift each other up, support each other’s growth, and celebrate progress over perfection. Let’s create a space where we can be real, vulnerable, and, most importantly, fearless on our journeys.

    50. Moving Forward despite of Fear and Anxiety

    Welcome back to another personal episode about mental health. Lately, I’ve been dealing with anxiety attacks, and today, I’m opening up about my own experiences and the strategies I’ve used to move forward despite them. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or just looking for new coping techniques, I hope my story and tools will resonate with you. I share a couple of techniques that have been really grounding for me - starting with conscious breathing, which has been an incredible way to calm my mind. I also walk you through the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise, which is a simple but powerful technique to bring you back to the present moment when fear and anxiety start to overwhelm you. Beyond that, we dive into the importance of spiritual work and self-reflection. Whether it’s through prayer, meditation, or just some good old self-coaching, tuning into my spiritual side has been a game changer in managing my anxiety as it helped me to figure out what are some big steps I needed to take. Be sure to stay till the end for a very special announcement I have for you!
