In today's episode, I delve into several key aspects essential for building a foundation for a sustainable life. I start by discussing the importance of creating small habits that significantly impact our lives. These tiny, consistent actions can collectively drive substantial change and lead us toward our goals. Next, I explore the concept of finding joy and positivity, emphasizing that we should actively create these feelings if we find them lacking in our lives.I then move on to the crucial topic of inner self-work, offering tangible examples and practical advice on how to embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth. Additionally, I tackle the controversial subject of societal expectations and the pressure to fit into predefined boxes. I argue that conforming to these norms can often mislead us and cause us to lose touch with our true selves.Furthermore, I stress the importance of self-love, encouraging listeners to nurture and care for themselves as much as they do for others. I caution against getting caught up in the distractions of algorithms and unsustainable lifestyles, which can derail our progress and well-being.To wrap up the episode, I share one of my favorite analogies: life is like waves – you need to learn how to ride them. This analogy serves as a reminder that while life is full of ups and downs, developing the skill to navigate these fluctuations with grace and resilience is essential for a fulfilling and sustainable life.Text me your thoughts xo

These anecdotes illustrate how advocating for oneself and taking ownership of your happiness can lead to a deeper sense of confidence and authenticity. By creating your own inner happiness, you become more secure in your own skin, allowing you to navigate life with greater assurance and joy.

In this episode, I dive into the fascinating concept of the seven different types of rest, exploring how each type uniquely contributes to our overall well-being. They are: physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, and spiritual rest. I share personal anecdotes and practical examples of how I incorporate some of these types into my daily life, highlighting how simple practices can make a significant difference. For instance, I discuss my strategies for achieving mental rest through mindfulness and the importance of creative rest by engaging in activities that spark joy and inspiration.To add depth to the discussion, I touch on some intriguing scientific insights into how our nervous system operates.  Through these insights, we gain a better understanding of why a balanced approach to rest is vital for maintaining our health and productivity.An important point I emphasize is that we don't need to aim for perfection in achieving 100% rest in all seven types simultaneously. Instead, I explain how focusing on improving a few types of rest can lead to positive ripple effects. By working on specific areas where we feel depleted, we can indirectly support other types of rest. This episode is a thoughtful guide to recognizing the multifaceted nature of rest and incorporating it into our lives in meaningful ways.Text me your thoughts xo
