Today, I want to talk about ambition. Right now, I’m in the middle of my own reckoning with it. If you’re feeling the same way, then this episode is for you. We’re beginning to dismantle what ambition means and how it shows up. It’s not us that’s the problem but the environment. I don’t want to feel like I have to contort, trim, or lessen who I am to fit an idea the world presents to me. So I’m opting out. Demolishing ideas and beliefs to rebuild one brick at a time. My question becomes….does ambition have a place in my life if it’s not the hustle and grind way? Let’s talk about this.

If you're unsure about wanting children and how to make that decision, this episode is for you. As a driven and creative woman, I was frightened by the idea of motherhood. I wondered if it meant losing my sense of self. Or postponing my goals until my children were grown. I worried about how society, and even my husband, would perceive me. In this episode, I'll share what almost made me reject the idea of having children, how I eventually realized I wanted them, and the most surprising parts of motherhood.

If you consider yourself a creative spirit this episode is for you. Join me and Jamie Varon as we talk about Taylor Swift, the advantage of starting your creative journey later in life, the fear of exposing yourself and being honest, overcoming guilt and shame for expressing yourself, and how believing you deserve the life you want isn't an outcome. It's only the beginning. Jamie is the author of Radically Content, a designer, digital course creator, and creative consultant living in Calabasas, CA.

My most unbelievable manifestation story yet: how I got tickets to Taylor Swift’s sold-out Eras Tour after getting on a train to MetLife Stadium ticketless and without a prospect of getting one. Read on, or listen in, to hear a miraculous tale about not taking no for an answer, the power of desire, and unquestionable kindness. I hope this inspires you to believe, be brave, and be fearless in pursuing what you desire.

In this episode, I'm sharing the books that made it possible for me to live a creative and spiritual life. If you want to feel more like yourself, overcome emotional and mental blocks, and express the work you're meant to put into the world read these books.

We’re joined this week by a very special guest: Rha Goddess. Rha is CEO of Move the Crowd, the entrepreneurial soul coach behind hundreds of changemakers, cultural visionaries and social entrepreneurs, multiple New York Times Bestselling author, and an activist, focusing on issues of racial justice and equality, electoral politics, and more. She discusses how to live in concert with the truth and how to slow down and listen to Source/God/Universe, and delivers a powerful message about our own power, the power of money, and how to reframe success.

The fourth in a four-part series on how to feel your best about money. You’ll read about how to create space for wealth, a poverty vs. prosperity mindset, and why negative emotions are a gift.

The third in a four-part series on how to feel your best about money. Inspired by Esther and Jerry Hicks’s book Money and the Law of Attraction we’ll learn how we’re wired to manifest, what your authentic self feels like, and more.

The more time you spend understanding and being with your creative, intuitive self the more you’ll know when it’s speaking to you vs. your intellect. Intellect is a necessary tool that complements intuition. The same way you know how to use your intellect (and tell when it’s working for you), it’s the same kind of experience with intuition but you’re using your heart intelligence instead. It’s natural and easy for a disconnect to happen between the two. But there’s a way to combine them again so you can guide your life with your intuition without losing intellect. Keep reading (or listening!) to discover how.

As we’re nearing the end of the year, I’m recognizing that the space I'm currently in has been calling me to trust the unknown and take some breathing room. You can probably already tell from the title, but we’re taking a pause on new podcast content until the new year. While I'm in Zurich I wanted to be able to explore and be present, while still continuing to connect with the TGS community through weekly emails.

I'm not sure if you've already heard, but I’m currently in Zurich, my husband and I will be here for the next couple of months! Recently, I've been struggling to embrace the space around me, to fully be in the present moment instead of worrying about what's next. So I came to the decision to take a little pause on the podcast starting this November. I’ll have another episode explaining this in more detail but this week, I wanted to share an experience in Central Park as a tangible way to talk about the things I’ve been learning about creating space in your life and embracing the space in hopes that it will inspire you, too, to embrace your own present moments.

What happens when a child has emotionally immature parents? How do you recognize it and heal yourself? This episode is inspired by Lindsay C. Gibson’s book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents. After this post, you’ll have the ability to better create boundaries with ease and focus on living from a true, authentic space. Rather than spending tons of time and energy on a parent who won’t change. Shoutout to Jenica from The Good Space community for recommending this book!

My goal since I’ve lived in New York City is to figure out how to exist in a serene peaceful bubble without needing to move. Life can get crazy so I wanted to talk this week about feeling more peace even when things around you feel hectic. It’s been three years and I’ve gotten better but realized a few key things: feeling peace is a lifelong commitment, slow down, be ok with going against the grain. If you feel like you've been searching for a more peaceful life, this is your sign to go for it. You don't need to wait for everyone else to start. You’ll have wasted so many precious years not having peace.

We’ve talked in the past about dealing with negative people, but this week I want to talk about dealing with your own negative thoughts. I truly believe we can re-learn how to think so that we don’t allow our negative thinking to take over our life. I want to share an exercise that I've been using for years that allows me to challenge my negative thoughts and then choose a better one. This exercise helps your true self override the programming of the ego. You'll start to internalize the exercise, automatically challenge them and pull in the reins. Give it a try and then let us know how it goes.

This week I want to get a little more personal than usual. I’m using a recent triggering experience of mine to walk you step-by-step through one way you can process painful emotions. Since I can remember I’ve always shut down when experiencing painful feelings. This time I finally figured out how to redirect from an emotional spiral to a nurturing one instead. Hoping that it will help you process and tolerate painful emotions in your own life, I’m sharing five of the keys ways I was able to do this.

We all know what it’s like dealing with negative people with toxic energy. It can feel icky and bring your own down. If you’re struggling with some version of this in your life then this post is for you. We’ll talk about how you can feel lighter and handle the negative energy others may expect you to carry or you expect yourself to carry. That way, you can have more space for your creative endeavors, for your family, or for anything you’ve been wanting to give time to. I promise this will make a difference.
