One week ago, we finished the Unscripted Mastermind Retreat, hosted by my mentor and friend, Jessica Burgio.
Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing takeaways and shouting out some of the speakers from this retreat.
This episode is thanks to Tracy O'Malley & Bree Johnson. Tracy dove into the Enneagram especially diving deep into each of ours touching each of our hearts more than we ever expected. The following day, Bree guided us in a beautiful breathwork session where the aha's from Tracy combined with Bree's guidance hit me.
I have not been making time for stillness and to not constantly be doing.
Listen in to hear how this ties into my worth and might touch you as well.

Those whispers.... whether in your head or around you, telling you it is time to dive deeper in to healing. Not physically, but mentally and emotionally to start healing the inner wounds and pains from our past.
I know, we got really deep there. But have you ever taken a moment to stop, think, and process how your past is affecting you now? Until you do, you won't know what is holding you back.
In this episode, Erin Panzarella opens up about her past that was holding her back and how she finally dove into energy work to begin healing her limiting beliefs.
If you have ever wondered what options are out there for you and want a sneak peek into what it can look like, then take a listen here!

After reading the Subtle Art of Not Giving an F***, I realized only 1.5 years ago, my husband and I were in a pretty unhealthy relationship. Hiding things from one another, not able to be fully honest or trusting, etc.
This book was the profound moment I realized how much we have changed even in one year.
There are THREE aspects I attribute to our breakthrough going from an unhealthy relationship to healthy. Any guesses?
Listen in to hear just a few ways we have made the transformation and continue to work on it. And YOU CAN TOO!

See below links to those other episodes if you resonate with one of my wins or lessons and want to hear more!

If you listen to this podcast, you probably have listened to a habit book or two. Each one provides you different strategies on how to build habits, BUT most don't tell you how to take action over and over and over again.
This episode, I have Alessia Citro on the podcast. She is a certified life coach and serial entrepreneur who unexpectedly decided to leave the corporate world after working for Salesforce and Google. Over the last few years, Alessia became sober and found her way to building better habits over time.
We talk all things habits, sobriety, and more!
Alessia's book releases on June 13th, get on the list to be notified HERE!

Join me in this short episode as I share how I am the HAPPIEST I have ever been, but I am not happy all of the time.
You might be asking "Well, how is that?"- Listen in to hear the three ways I bring myself back to happiness when stressed, overwhelmed, sad, etc. To be happy more often, it takes practicing habits over and over again that will bring you back to happiness.
If you didn't listen to last weeks episode, I highly recommend you take a listen, as this episode was inspired by what came up for me while recording!
