    Send us a textWhat does it truly mean to go "all in" on the dream that's been tapping you on the shoulder? It's not the Instagram-worthy, quit-your-job-tomorrow recklessness that we often imagine, but rather a profound commitment to choosing alignment over approval, consistency over comfort, and your vision over your fears.Drawing from my own transformative journey leaving law enforcement to pursue entrepreneurship, I explore why so many of us live at just 60% of our potential—surviving but not thriving, paying bills but not feeling fulfilled. That nagging voice saying "this can't be it" isn't just discontent; it's wisdom. Your soul recognizes when you're settling for "fine" instead of pursuing fire.The fear of failing keeps so many dreams on permanent hold, but failure only happens when you completely give up. What's truly terrifying isn't taking the risk—it's looking back after decades of identical days and wondering what might have been. Building small, consistent habits (like writing for just 25 minutes daily instead of occasional marathon sessions) creates sustainable progress and builds the resilience you need for the journey.Remember, if your calling isn't understood by everyone around you, that's actually confirmation you're on the right track. They weren't on the call. The universe gave you that intuition for a reason. So start where you are—messy, scared, unsure—and take one small action today. Because half-living will never satisfy a whole soul, and the life you want isn't going to magically appear. You have to go all in to create it.What dream have you been keeping on the back burner? Share it with me on Instagram and let me be your cheerleader as you take those first brave steps. You were born for more than average—now get up and do the thing you've always wanted to do.Love what you hear? Wanna be featured on Updated AF?

    The Journey Home: Finding Peace in Hospice Care With Sylvia and Vanessa Morbeck

    Play Episode Listen Later May 12, 2025 53:00 Transcription Available


    Send us a textWhen life delivers its heaviest blows, how do we find the strength to keep going? Sylvia Morbeck's answer will leave you speechless.From the moment Sylvia awakened in a German hospital in 1992 to learn her husband and daughter had been killed in the car accident she survived, her path forward was forever altered. What followed was a journey through grief, alcohol dependency, and eventually a terminal diagnosis that would bring her to hospice care. Yet sitting across from me today, Sylvia radiates a peace that defies her circumstances."Don't build a house with somebody who's not willing to carry the bricks," she advises, displaying the raw wisdom that comes only from walking through fire. After losing her loved ones, Sylvia admits she stopped speaking to God for an entire decade, carrying anger that many who've experienced loss will recognize. The turning point came not in a dramatic revelation but through gradual surrender—a lesson in how healing often happens in the quiet spaces we create when we finally stop fighting.Perhaps the most extraordinary moment in our conversation comes when Sylvia describes her near-death experience two years ago. After a blood vessel burst in her stomach and doctors placed her in a medically-induced coma, she believes she visited heaven—describing marble streets, gold mansions, and complete freedom from pain. When she unexpectedly recovered and was walking the next day, doctors were baffled. "I believe our angels can take us out of here for a second, heal our bodies while we're out of it, and then when we come back, you're healed," she reflects.Today, Sylvia approaches hospice care with remarkable grace, taking each day as it comes while finding joy in family connections and even the simple companionship of her emotional support rabbit. Her message for those facing similar circumstances? "Take it a day at a time. Sometimes when you start projecting stuff ahead of time, things happen quicker."Listen to this episode if you've ever questioned how to find meaning in suffering, wondered what lies beyond this life, or simply needed a reminder of the incredible human capacity for resilience. Share with someone who needs to hear that even in our darkest moments, healing and peace remain possible.Love what you hear? Wanna be featured on Updated AF?

    Send us a textWhen talk therapy stalls and trauma remains locked in your body, where do you turn? Lisa Kelly returns to the podcast to introduce us to the transformative power of Kundalini energy healing—a modality that works directly with the life force energy we all carry within.This eye-opening conversation explores how trauma becomes physically stored in our bodies, creating patterns and limitations that conscious awareness alone can't always address. Lisa expertly breaks down how Kundalini works as a "cellular massage," helping release blocked energy through spontaneous movements, vocalizations, and emotional releases. The results can be life-changing—from newfound clarity and authenticity to natural shifts in relationships, habits, and self-perception.You'll discover the fascinating connection between energetic and physical well-being, including why post-session practices like grounding, proper nutrition, and energetic hygiene are crucial for integration. Lisa shares powerful personal stories of transformation, including how Kundalini helped her process grief, anger, and past traumas when traditional approaches reached their limits.Whether you're new to energy work or looking to deepen your healing journey, this conversation offers practical insights on finding a trustworthy facilitator, preparing for sessions, and integrating the experience. The episode particularly resonates for empaths, those with trauma history, and anyone feeling stuck in their healing despite years of talk therapy.Ready to discover if this path of surrender might be the missing piece in your healing journey?

    Send us a textWhat parts of your life feel like a familiar hell - painful but too comfortable to leave behind? In this deeply personal episode, I share a powerful passage from the fourth chapter of my upcoming book "Invisible" (formerly titled "Subject to Change"), revealing how we're hardwired to choose familiar pain over unfamiliar possibilities.The concept resonates deeply through my own story - from law enforcement to military service to PTSD therapy. That familiar hell manifests differently for each of us: toxic relationships that mirror childhood dynamics, habits that numb our pain, or careers that no longer align with our authentic selves. We stay because the predictable pain feels safer than stepping into unknown territory.My journey required a radical shift to break these patterns, forcing me into unfamiliar territory where I could rebuild according to my true desires rather than programmed responses. What about you? What dreams are you postponing because pursuing them feels too unpredictable? What changes are you avoiding because your current discomfort at least feels knowable? That very discomfort might be your bridge to everything you want.Join me as I navigate not just my book journey (currently in the editing and beta reader phase), but the beautiful chaos of rescuing two puppies and pursuing self-publishing with the help of bestselling mentors. The familiar might feel safe, but real transformation awaits just beyond your comfort zone.
