Episode 7:

Hey guys!

This week’s episode is a relaxed, heartfelt chat about reconnecting with my inner child during a solo beach trip. I open up about the emotional waves I experienced- how certain triggers brought old feelings to the surface, and what it looked like to sit with them instead of pushing them away.

I share how I found moments of stillness, allowing myself to fully feel a wide range of emotions, from joy to grief. It’s a reflection on offering grace and love to my inner child, and recognizing that healing isn’t about erasing pain—but learning how peace and painful memories can coexist.

Ever feel like your emotions are 100% valid but the story in your head might not be? (Spoiler: Same.) In this episode, I’m diving into the tricky balance between feeling all the feels and recognizing when our perspective might need a little tune-up.

Here’s the thing: shifting your perspective doesn’t mean you’re wrong—it means you’re growing. And who better to help us navigate this than one of my absolute faves, Carl Jung (yes, I finally figured out how to pronounce his name—sorry my pronunciation in the episode is wrong). His views on intuition and perspective have totally reshaped the way I approach my relationships and even my inner dialogue.

Episode contents:

• Why emotions and perspective are NOT the same thing (but they’re both important).
• How to use your intuition to face life’s curveballs like a pro.
• Simple ways to shift your lens and level up your emotional maturity.
• Asking those deep, “Wait, why do I actually feel this way?” questions to unlock next-level self-awareness.

The best part? Each little shift in perspective can lead to BIG breakthroughs in how you connect with others (and yourself). Ready to dive in? Let’s do this!

Today's Episode focuses on a paradox of time: Accepting the limits of time—acknowledging its finiteness and your inability to control or conquer it—can lead to fulfillment. Embracing your finite nature which is the very thing that seems to restrict you—is what unlocks a life of depth, presence, and genuine freedom.

This seems counterintuitive because we often associate freedom with having more time, more options, or more control. Yet, the opposite tends to be true.

How to change your mindset to absolutely kill it at work

Limitations can be Liberators

Freedom is found through Presence

Control Through Surrender
Trying to dominate time (through endless schedules, hacks, or multitasking) often leads to feeling out of control because time is relentless—it moves forward regardless of your efforts. Surrendering to its flow doesn’t mean giving up but working with it. This mindset shift often brings a sense of calm and mastery.
