In today's episode, we're going on a journey through 2025 with a sprinkle of Renaissance magic. This isn’t just about creating episodes; it's about breathing life into your spark, just like how Michelangelo didn’t just pick a lane but painted, sculpted, and redefined art.

We talk about embracing who you are right now. Some folks out there think you have to revamp yourself as soon as the new year hits, but to that I say, nah, just polish what you already have! Even if you decide it's a dry January for you or you're gearing up for a fitness challenge, do what's best for you. Your story is what makes you unique, and refining your current self can become a beautiful part of your content.

Lastly, we share thoughts on the power of community and collaboration. Your voice can be the change-maker. Let's make 2025 the year you start that journey! Until next week, get creative, stay hydrated, and always seek wonder in everything.

Hey there, wonder seekers! Have you ever thought about how a city can hold stories older than an entire country? I'm wrapping up my last day in Paris and, spoiler alert, it’s been nothing short of magical.

In today's episode, we're diving into a journey through time and what it truly means to be "old" when you look at places like America and Paris.

We talk about my adventures in Paris, exploring historical wonders like Notre Dame and how living in a 17th-century apartment really makes you reconsider what "old" means. Honestly, the way buildings here have been standing for centuries is such a captivating reminder that age is truly relative. It’s like America is just a youngster in comparison! I mean, we haven’t even hit 250 years yet, and there’s Paris with Notre Dame being over 600 years old!

So, let’s challenge each other to experience life in different ways, shake up our routines, and embrace new perspectives.

I want all of you to know that it's never too late to start your own story in whatever dream you’re brewing. Trust me, if Paris can rebuild and continue its legacy, you absolutely can too.

Ever been caught between the rustic allure of an Airbnb and the hustle of Parisian streets? That's the kind of adventure that calls for a full-blown Parisian experience, and it's what this episode is all about.

In today's episode, I’m soaking it all up from a cozy Airbnb in Paris, reminiscing over past travels and sharing tales of navigating new horizons.

Yes, it takes courage to pursue dreams, even when everything seems uncertain. It's easy to let fear keep you docked in harbor, but the real magic happens when you set sail. Whether it's traveling to a foreign land or hitting 'record' for the first time, it’s about taking that leap of faith and learning from both the successes and hiccups.

Like sipping wine with my daughter and having a good laugh, the essence of a fulfilling podcast journey is often found in those small, delightful interactions and stories you share with your audience.

Hey there, fabulous listeners! Ever wondered why it seems like we're always setting these ideal body standards for ourselves, and why we let them influence how we feel and live? You're not alone!

In today's episode, we unravel some of these body expectation mysteries and how they interplay with our unique journeys and choices.

We dive into the fascinating history of body standards and how they've changed over time. I share how these ideals are often linked to economic factors, like how weight represented wealth in some eras, and why cultural norms shouldn't dictate how we see ourselves today. We talk about the freedom of loving yourself just as you are, regardless of the societal pressures to fit into a predefined mold.

So, grab a cup of something cozy, look at yourself in the mirror with love, and share a smile with someone today. Let's break free from the chains of unrealistic standards and celebrate being perfectly imperfect. Ready to spread that positivity? Let's go!

Have you ever noticed how something as simple as the weather feels completely different depending on where you live? A snowy mountain town might find a sunny 50°F day warm and refreshing, while someone in a tropical climate might think it’s chilly. Perspective really shapes how we experience things!

During this time of year let’s remember those that struggle with life's challenges. Oftentimes loved one’s have thoughts on finding light in darker times. Life can be unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming, but keeping an eye on the bright spots and recognizing the light inside you not just during the winter solstice but all year round can make your journey more rewarding.

While you can have a mental countdown and plans in place, it’s just as crucial to adapt and celebrate the unexpected moments turning up and making the experience richer.
