    01. Chaotic Lifestyles

    How do you know you're living the right dream? When is it okay to stop living a life you were told to want? Why does life gift us chaos? In this episode, I invite my email subscribers to consider starting a new tradition this year instead of choosing the typical "new year, new me" mantra. This year, consider getting into the arena to sit with your fears, heartbreak, and disappointments and grieve your losses. This is the year you handle your sh*t and become the honest version of yourself that expresses your feelings and confesses your needs. If you are ready to become a Gladiator--again, the cute kind that looks like Olivia Pope in Cashmere--listen to this episode and get ready to take control of your life. Things I mention in this episode: Quotes from Dr. Edith Eger in The Gift: 14 Lessons to Save Your Life. "Freedom is a lifetime practice." and "We can be wounded and accountable."
