129. WE'RE BACK!! The Climb to Self-Alignment and Beyond - a recap of 2023 & a look forward for the pod in 2024
WE'RE BACK!! Wowzers this episode was unexpectedly emotional. I open up about 2023 more of what has been going on behind the scenes personally that put the show on an unexpected pause. I haven't shared much, if at all, about my divorce on the show. I'm sharing some of that and the pain that worked to steer me onto a path of self-reclamation and passion rekindling. This episode isn't just a narrative of my past year's trials and triumphs—it's a heartfelt conversation about respecting the sanctity of privacy in tender times, the truth depression, and the necessity of carving out a sanctuary for oneself.Turning a new leaf often involves confronting our deeply held beliefs about success and self-worth. The 29029 event this year taught me that the summit isn't always what defines us—it's the climb that truly matters. Bringing back my nickname 'CJ'  was a powerful step towards aligning with my true self. In this candid session, I discuss the significant emotional shifts that come with this realignment, the vital role of therapy for high-functioning individuals, and why recognizing our value beyond our achievements is a transformative insight.I share the healing power of corrective emotional experiences within the therapeutic space and how an unexpected new relationship has taught me to navigate the confluence of joy and pain. Sharing of the evolution from merely surviving to living fully and now, towards thriving. I invite you to embrace the excitement of setting boundaries and balancing a vibrant life. And to cap it off, there's anticipation in the air with a top-secret project underway that promises to add another layer to our collective journey towards a life without limitations.Journal Prompts from today's episode:What lights you up and how can you bring those elements into your weekly rhythm?In what ways and in what areas are you surviving in life?What would THRIVING in life look like for you?If you were thriving in 3 months what would that look like?

127. The Art of Remixing Routines
Some routines were meant to be broken.Today's episode was inspired by the phrase "this is how we've always done it." I've recommitted to practicing what I preach, recognizing that I've been stuck in a rut lately.I'm sharing how I remixed a key daily routine, how I've been using the Daily Pages, and provide you with clear steps to evaluate where you may need some routine remixing! By actively challenging and remixing our routines, we open up new avenues for personal growth and creativity. Remixing the routine has helped me to stay grounded and excited about my projects by maintaining two distinct containers - one for personal growth and another for business brainstorming. Together, we'll learn how to create and utilize distinct spaces and containers to capture and unleash our ideas. So here's to taking the next action, to becoming the architects of our own lives, and to living a life beyond our limits.
