Send us a textS7 Ep5: The Sober Truth – Recovery, Identity & Self-Discovery with Maria Gladych & Clare Skelland (Live)In this live episode from the 2025 Mindset Unlimited Festival, Alex is joined by two powerful voices in the sobriety and recovery space — Maria Gladych and Clare Skelland.Maria is an EMDR therapist and counsellor specialising in trauma, addiction and recovery. Clare is mindset and recovery coach supporting women to rewrite their story, one courageous step at a time.Together, they explore:
In a world obsessed with self-discovery and identity, Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar address the growing belief that we must look inward to define who we are. The guys challenge this cultural message directly, pointing listeners toward the true source of identity and emphasizing that our longing for meaning, worth, and purpose cannot be fulfilled by fleshly desires or self-exploration. Turning inward often results in confusion, depression, and a false sense of identity that ultimately leads to despair. Defining yourself apart from your Creator is not only futile but also a new form of legalism. True identity is not something we achieve but something we receive, and that reception begins with knowing the Lord.There is a foundational truth that you cannot truly know who you are until you understand your origin, as clearly shown in Genesis. The guys explain that people are not random molecules in motion but are created in the image of God. Mark recalls a conversation with his brother, who was struggling to share Jesus with his son. It is in these moments that believers need to revisit the essential questions about identity, origin, and purpose. Oscar outlines three practical ways to know yourself: know God, know your deficiencies, and know how deeply God loves you. True self-awareness begins with God-awareness, and as we encounter His glory, our blind spots are revealed, and our need for Christ becomes evident.The guys also warn about the subtle shifts that can happen—one day walking with the Lord and the next falling into sin. The world encourages us to love ourselves more and pursue our true identity, but scripture calls us to surrender. Oscar highlights a sermon where a woman searching for her identity realized her sense of self could never be fully achieved, only received through Christ. Knowing ourselves as believers includes understanding our strengths, weaknesses, and idols. Several of the guys share how certain things in their lives can easily become idols and how they rely on the Lord instead of external things. Every intense emotion can reveal a more profound love, one that may be misplaced. When those idols are exposed, we are called to dismantle them and enthrone Christ. The guys invite listeners to examine themselves honestly—not with despair, but with hope. Christ is our help and our freedom.In solitude and surrender, we discover who we truly are: redeemed, adopted, and loved. It is not about self-obsession but about submitting to God's will as Jesus did. By laying down our lives, we find them. By letting Christ live through us, we shine His light in a dark and dying world.Send us a textThanks for listening!

On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth invites Alexander Vesely, award-winning documentary filmmaker, psychotherapist, and the grandson of Dr. Viktor Frankl, to share anecdotes about his grandfather and the evolution of Logotherapy. The pair recalls Viktor's deportation to a Nazi concentration camp and his heartbreaking experiences there. The devastation eventually informed Viktor's theory, known as Logotherapy, which posits that those who are oriented towards finding meaning even in the most dire circumstances are more likely to feel fulfilled. Alexander also discusses his film Viktor & I, an intimate portrait of his grandfather as revealed by those who worked with, studied under, and loved him. About Alexander Vesely: Alexander Vesely, M.Sc., Dr. h.c., is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, licensed psychotherapist specializing in Logotherapy and Existential Analysis, and the grandson of Dr. Viktor Frankl, author of the classic Man's Search for Meaning.

When Vesuvius Rumbled in her deep, Pompeii's Blue skies were a lie. Sometimes our gut warns us to leave, but we stay. Other times, it calls us to act, but fear keeps us frozen. And in both moments, the mind often steps in—trying to quiet what the body already knows. This week on The Poet (delayed), we explore what happens when we ignore that deep inner rumble. Why we override our intuition. Why we stay when we should go. Why we hide when we're being called to step forward. And what it might look like to finally trust the wisdom of the gut over the noise of the mind. I'd love to hear what you have to say about the episode including thoughts on the poetry and the topics that were discussed. You can email me at poetdelayed@gmail.com.

“Prepping for the GMAT was one of the biggest, most self-motivated projects of my adult life. It gave me concrete feedback I hadn't experienced in years. Improvement wasn't visible every day, but I could see how my effort turned into results.” In this episode of Inside the GMAT, GMAC Zach sits down with Julia Shackelford, who earned a perfect GMAT score of 805, but insists the real story is everything behind the number. Julia shares how months of disciplined practice, self-reflection, and resilience transformed not only her test performance but also her confidence in tackling challenges far beyond the GMAT. Together, Zach and Julia explore what it really takes to succeed on the GMAT, why natural ability matters less than consistent effort, and how shifting your focus from outcomes to process can change the way you see yourself. About Our Guest: Julia earned a BBA in Finance from the University of Arkansas in 2015 and spent the following nine years in banking, where she focused on lending, business development, training, and compliance. She now specializes in helping students excel on exams like the GMAT. She hopes to use what she learned through preparing for her own exam to improve the experience of other students.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, host Jim Ellermeyer and co-host Mike explore the difference between spirituality and organized religion and what it truly means to nurture your spirit. Together, they revisit the timeless teachings of Jesus, focusing on his central message of love, compassion, and self-discovery — a message that's often been overshadowed by societal control, rigid traditions, and centuries of interpretation. We'll discuss: • Why spirituality is about personal connection rather than institutional rules. • The two greatest commandments Jesus taught and why they free us from fear. • Insights from alternative gospels like Thomas and Mary Magdalene that emphasize the divine spark within. • How to embrace mindfulness, self-validation, and inner freedom in your daily life. Jim challenges us to see the divine within ourselves and others, and to choose kindness, forgiveness, and mindful living as a way of nurturing that spark.

What is Trauma and how we can heal with Rama AchalaTrauma Informed Somatic Coach & Medicine WomanRama is a trauma informed and somatic practitioner, a plant medicine integration coach, a teacher of kambo amazonian medicine, a speaker and a medicine woman. She has supported thousands, all over north America and Costa Rica, to heal mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Rama went against the recommendations of Dr's, said no to injections and pharmaceuticals, and chose her own healing journey. That journey lead her to plant medicines like ayahuasca, San Pedro and the frog medicine, Kambo. She spent many years working with shaman and curanderos, processing unhealed trauma, integrating mystical experiences and remembering the scariness of life.On Rama's own healing journey, she learned how deeply mind, body and emotions are connected and how chronic illnesses can stem from unprocessed trauma stored in the body and unconscious mind. She believes we all have the ability to heal ourselves, if we are willing to listen to what our bodies are telling us.Linkshttps://www.heartofkambo.comhttps://www.instagram.com/heartofkambo?igsh=MTlybW51OTlqendzbg%3D%3D&utm_source=qrTags:Alternative Healing Techniques,Chronic Illness,Mind-Body Connection,Mindset,Plant Medicine Integration,Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),Psychedelics,Self Care,Self-Discovery,Trauma Recovery,What is Trauma and how we can heal with Rama Achala,Podcast,Live Video Podcast InterviewSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page
Adventure begins where the pavement ends, but the real journey happens within. Drawing inspiration from iconic action films like James Bond and Mission Impossible, I've discovered that the heart-pounding excitement I seek isn't just found in movie theaters—it's waiting on dirt roads and mountain passes aboard my BMW 1250 GS Adventure.The Overland Expo recently returned to Loveland, Colorado, bringing together a community of explorers who understand something profound: getting away from the 24-hour news cycle and constant digital connectivity isn't just enjoyable—it's essential. While overlanding typically involves massive vehicles equipped for extended self-sufficient travel, the mindset shares remarkable parallels with adventure motorcycling. Both offer pathways to mindfulness in a world that rarely slows down.Mindfulness transforms motorcycle adventures from mere trips into journeys of personal growth. Rather than focusing solely on destinations or perfect Instagram moments, truly mindful riding means noticing the subtle sensations—the changing patterns of wind, the vibration of your engine, the play of light across the landscape. When unexpected challenges arise, as they inevitably will, this present-moment awareness helps you respond with resilience rather than frustration. The self-reliance developed on remote roads builds confidence that extends far beyond your adventures. So before reaching for your phone at that breathtaking vista, take a moment to simply be there, letting the experience sink deeply into your heart. The freedom of motorcycle travel isn't just about where you go—it's about the space it creates for self-discovery and deeper connection to the world around you. One mile, one breathtaking view, one quiet moment at a time.

In this special crossover episode, Mark welcomes longtime friend and psychiatrist Dr. Joe Shrand to discuss the power of self-awareness and the "I-M Approach"—a framework for understanding human behavior without shame or blame. The two explore what it means to share your voice, the long arc of legacy, and the lessons of 19th-century physician Ignaz Semmelweis, whose work saving lives was tragically dismissed. From creativity to conflict, social media to AI, Dr. Joe and Mark take listeners on a wide-ranging conversation grounded in kindness, curiosity, and connection. Learn more about Dr. Joe and his writing on his website and check out The Dr. Joe Show wherever you get your podcasts! Takeaways It's difficult to accept who you are if you're judging yourself. The I-M Approach allows for self-reflection and change. Legacy is about how you want to be remembered. Home and Social Domains significantly influence our identity. Creativity can be a powerful form of expression and escape. Semmelweis's story highlights the importance of challenging the status quo in medicine. We all want to feel valued and respected in our lives. Kindness does not equate to weakness; it requires strength. Trust is essential for open and honest relationships. Self-awareness is crucial for personal growth. Self-reflection is crucial amidst distractions. Hesitation in sharing one's voice can stem from fear and uncertainty. Overnight success is often a myth; persistence is key. Social media can be a powerful tool for spreading messages. Long-form conversations allow for deeper connections and understanding. Collaboration can amplify efforts to create change. AI has the potential to impact humanity positively if used wisely. Empathy is essential in conflict resolution and understanding diverse perspectives.

I've been thinking a lot about what happens when we actually give ourselves permission to step away from the routines that keep us comfortable. Right now, I'm on the road with my dogs and a van that's more functional than fancy, and I'm calling this time my adult gap year (or period, lol). I may not have everything figured out, but I'm seeing what comes up when I put myself in new places and give myself space to grow. A “gap” experience is all about having the courage to NOT KNOW what's next. And for making space for what nourishes you. You know, it's funny what you start to think about when you finally peel yourself away from the day-to-day grind. Mostly, it's just about giving myself space to breathe and seeing what bubbles up when I'm not constantly busy. I think this is why shaking up routine matters. I'd love for you to join me on this Wise Walk to explore that very feeling. We'll explore the magic that happens when you shake things up, how to tune into those little sparks that give you life, and why it's more than okay to not have the next step all figured out. It seems like the best moments happen when we finally switch off autopilot and just let ourselves be. Outside of becoming homeless, what are the ways you can change things up or bring in some gap year elements so you can immerse yourself in new experiences and perspectives? Where in your life can you shake things up to gain a new experience and increase self-awareness? What's a routine that has been working for you, but you're curious if there's another avenue worth exploring? Are you willing to step outside of that norm or structure you created to gain different perspectives, new real-world experiences, and then decide if you want to continue, enhance, or change before committing to a new path? Are there areas in your life that you cherish but want to approach differently, especially with self-care practices you haven't been consistent with? How can you set yourself up to release what's holding you back and take yourself on a new exploration to try things differently? What is it you want to do with your time, what really matters to you, and are you willing to commit to making space for that? Where can you carve out alone time so you can hear your own voice and emotions above everyone else's? What do you want to do with the information that surfaces when you slow down and listen to yourself? Where in your life can you be open to receiving messages and self-awareness that are already inside of you? How does it feel to imagine yourself excited about what might surface? I'm really excited to pour my energy into the self-care practices and creative outlets that feel aligned right now, and to see what comes to life for me. And I'm so grateful that you're here, walking this journey with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't wait for next Thursday's Wise Walk. In the meantime, I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or feedback from today's conversation. Don't forget to prioritize fun as you read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride On! In this episode: [03:04] I realized that I had gotten into routines and habits that felt like I was on autopilot. When you're in these routines it's more difficult to gain new perspectives and experiences. [04:09] When things are too consistent, I don't feel like I'm growing and expanding as much as I could. During this gap period I'm disconnecting from what I've known for a long time. [05:29] The beauty of this period of newness is that we don't know what we don't know. [06:39] I'm excited about bringing some of my favorite self-care routines on this trip. [08:56] My van is functional with bins and bags of beautiful self-care items. I got very clear on what I'm going to make space for in the van. [10:48] The biggest thing I'm making space for is my dogs. Nourishment is another big thing. Plus my self care items, and I'm holding space for my creativity. [12:17] Podcast equipment is coming, so you get to hear all about my new adventures. These Wise Walks and you, my listeners, are so important to me! [13:30] I also want to see what surfaces in this gap experience. [15:17] Sometimes we can't hear our own thoughts, if we have too many things and too many well-intentioned people influencing us. [17:24] I'm excited to invest time and energy in the nourishment and the self-care practices that feel aligned for me. And to hold space and invest in my own creativity and those outlets and see what comes to life. Memorable Quotes: “I am someone who appreciates change because it helps me shift out of that autopilot mode and it makes me go on Wise Walks with myself.” - Mary Tess “Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is say, I don't know what's next, and be okay with it.” - Mary Tess “When you quiet the outside voices, your own wisdom gets louder.” - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram Heart Value EP254: Let the Feelings Flow & Let Go

In this first episode of a special Manifestation Series on the Spirit and Soul Podcast, Tiffany Cohen discusses her personal journey with manifestation, emphasizing the importance of self-discovery, purpose, and the role of the subconscious mind. She critiques the conventional teachings of manifestation, advocating for a deeper understanding that includes healing and intentional living. Tiffany shares her belief that everyone has multiple purposes and encourages listeners to dream big while recognizing the challenges posed by their ego. The conversation serves as an invitation to explore the complexities of manifestation and personal growth. Takeaways Take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Your soul is always trying to guide you. Manifestation requires more than just positive thinking. The subconscious mind plays a crucial role in manifestation. Healing is essential for effective manifestation. Intentional living is key to achieving your best life. You have multiple purposes in life, not just one. Dreams should feel big and sometimes scary. Recognizing and overcoming ego is part of the journey. You must be an active participant in your own life.

I go where my clients want to go, providing a nurturing and trusting space and assisting them through powerful questioning to evoke lasting awareness.

394 The Driver of Innovation is Curiosity Curiosity is in our nature as human beings, we crave knowledge and the answers to the how's and why's. Whether it be from a scientific standpoint, raising a child, or to work more cohesively with our coworkers, we must always stay curious so that we can always be growing. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Jeff Ikler discuss not just their vital work, but how they have maintained healthy relationships, and a positive mental state by always staying curious. Highlights Avoiding the after conference hangover by having a support team to further your ideas and goals. Taking something you deem important and holding onto it while using it as the foundation for something meaningful to be built. You can't please everyone, so cast a smaller net, tend to your audience. How are you furthering yourself either with academic education or social education? Walk away with at least one idea, even if you need to come up with it yourself or seek it out. Be intentional about what you choose to remember. Let people get comfortable and feel safe before taking a risk. What do you carry that reminds you of those who have shaped you? Quotes “I have to narrow it down to what's one really good thing I can remember about this? Otherwise, for me, it can become overwhelming.” “If you stand for everything, you stand for nothing,” “Shoot with a rifle, not with a shotgun.” “Glaciers move faster than changes in education.” “The driver of innovation is curiosity.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Sarah: going to have Jeff ask you a few questions but first I'm going to ask you a couple questions. When you think about the stories that you tell, do they demonstrate your curiosity? Do they demonstrate your motivation or your ambition to learn and to grow as a human being? What is one story that you can point to that you can craft and develop, that is three minutes or shorter, that you know people will understand what matters to you and how you lead. I'd love to hear from you. Jeff, what are your conclusions for our listeners? Jeff: So what I'm curious about is what came up for people as you and I were talking, because my hope, because this is like when we're talking about the reflection part of the podcast, I want people to be wanting to walk away with something. So what's the take away? What's something that impacted you as Sarah and I were talking about how we go about doing our work, how we're thinking about our work, and how it impacts on the work you're doing. And, as always, thank you for listening.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Her story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the quest for self-love. Magdalena's journey began with a typical narrative: a marriage that seemed ideal but quickly turned lonely. After 17 years of feeling disconnected, she embarked on a solo retreat during which she found the courage to confront her feelings, leading her to seek a separation from her husband. This decision, while initially liberating, was just the beginning of a tumultuous path. But tumultuous paths can lead to remarkable insights and break throughs and so it was with Magdalena as she navigated her own loneliness and the societal pressures that often accompany divorce. Divorce, she warned, is a form of grief, And in facing that grief she also entered a period of self-discovery that led her to explore everything from poetry to burlesque dancing. Join us as we explore the beauty of self-discovery, the importance of vulnerability, and the magic that unfolds when we choose to be present in our lives.

Story Transcript:Ca: Era un matí assolellat de finals d'agost a Barcelona, i en la fresca avinguda de l'Eixample es notava l'olor de cafè recent fet.En: It was a sunny morning at the end of August in Barcelona, and on the cool avenue of l'Eixample, the smell of freshly brewed coffee was noticeable.Ca: Des de l'exterior, l'institut L'Eixample es veia imponent amb les seves grans finestres arquejades.En: From the outside, the L'Eixample institute looked imposing with its large arched windows.Ca: Encara que les aules estaven buides, l'energia del nou curs ja es començava a sentir.En: Although the classrooms were empty, the energy of the new school year was already starting to be felt.Ca: Núria i Marc passejaven pel bulliciós departament de l'aprovisionament escolar, replet de passadissos atapeïts de llums i colors.En: Núria and Marc were walking through the bustling school supply department, filled with aisles packed with lights and colors.Ca: El soroll del plàstic de les llibretes, els clics de les motxilles i el murmuri dels nens i pares comprenent els últims detalls per al curs nou omplien l'ambient.En: The noise of the plastic from the notebooks, the clicks of the backpacks, and the murmur of children and parents picking out the last details for the new school year filled the air.Ca: Per a Núria, començar l'últim any de batxillerat representava molta pressió.En: For Núria, starting the last year of high school represented a lot of pressure.Ca: Ella era conscient de les altes expectatives que s'imposava.En: She was aware of the high expectations she placed on herself.Ca: "Vull estar completament preparada", pensava mentre revisava la llarga llista de material a les seves mans.En: "I want to be completely prepared," she thought as she reviewed the long list of supplies in her hands.Ca: Però el seu pressupost era limitat, una realitat que la tenia una mica angoixada.En: But her budget was limited, a reality that made her somewhat anxious.Ca: Marc, el millor amic de Núria des de petit, era més tranquil.En: Marc, Núria's best friend since childhood, was more relaxed.Ca: No compartia del tot el fervor estudiantil de Núria, però sabia que aquest any seria decisiu per al seu futur.En: He didn't quite share Núria's intense academic enthusiasm, but he knew this year would be decisive for their future.Ca: La recerca d'una motxilla que el representés era la seva única preocupació.En: Finding a backpack that represented him was his sole concern.Ca: "Necessito alguna cosa que cridi l'atenció, que em defineixi", deia ell, insegur sobre el seu camí després de l'institut.En: "I need something that grabs attention, that defines me," he said, unsure about his path after high school.Ca: Mentre Núria feia front a la llista interminable, Marc estava distret per les desenes de motxilles penjades.En: While Núria faced the endless list, Marc was distracted by the dozens of backpacks hanging around.Ca: Totes semblaven semblants, però d'alguna manera cap reflectia el que ell volia expressar de si mateix.En: They all seemed similar, yet somehow none reflected what he wanted to express about himself.Ca: Al final, la Núria va recordar les paraules del seu pare: "El més important no és tenir-ho tot, sinó tenir allò essencial.En: In the end, Núria remembered her father's words: "The most important thing is not having everything, but having the essentials."Ca: " Així que va decidir prioritzar.En: So she decided to prioritize.Ca: Va agafar llibretes, alguns bolígrafs de colors bàsics, i una calculadora.En: She grabbed notebooks, some pens in basic colors, and a calculator.Ca: Mentrestant, Marc es va quedar mirant intensament una motxilla amb un disseny atrevit.En: Meanwhile, Marc was staring intently at a backpack with a bold design.Ca: Era de color verd amb tocs de taronja i blau.En: It was green with touches of orange and blue.Ca: No era la motxilla que tothom portaria, però encarnava exactament el que ell necessitava: un símbol de valentia i distinció.En: It wasn't the kind of backpack everyone would have, but it embodied exactly what he needed: a symbol of courage and distinction.Ca: La Núria va notar com Marc mirava la motxilla i va somriure, dient-li: "Marc, escolta el teu cor.En: Núria noticed how Marc was looking at the backpack and smiled, telling him: "Marc, listen to your heart.Ca: No es tracta només dels exàmens ni de les notes, es tracta de ser qui som.En: It's not just about the exams or the grades, it's about being who we are."Ca: " Les seves paraules el van ajudar a prendre una decisió.En: Her words helped him make a decision.Ca: Finalment, amb les compres fetes, Núria i Marc van sortir de la botiga.En: Finally, with the shopping done, Núria and Marc left the store.Ca: L'un amb una bossa plena de material essencial, l'altre amb una motxilla nova i orgullós de la seva elecció.En: One with a bag full of essential supplies, the other with a new backpack and proud of his choice.Ca: Agafats de la mà, mentre somreien sota el sol estiuenc, els dos sentien com si un pes enorme s'hagués aixecat.En: Holding hands, while smiling under the summer sun, they both felt as if a huge weight had lifted.Ca: Havien après alguna cosa més important que qualsevol lliçó a l'aula: la importància de seure un mateix i confiar en els amics.En: They had learned something more important than any lesson in the classroom: the importance of being oneself and trusting in friends.Ca: “Estem preparats, Marc”, va dir Núria amb decisió.En: "We're ready, Marc," said Núria with determination.Ca: “Sí, estem preparats per a tot”, va respondre Marc, amb un nou bri de confiança en la veu.En: "Yes, we're ready for anything," replied Marc, with a new glimmer of confidence in his voice.

(Episode #286) What if the most powerful thing you could do for your life isn't chasing who you think you should be, but choosing to embody who you truly are? In this episode, I sit down with content creator, entrepreneur, and Lavendaire founder Aileen Xu for a conversation that feels like a breath of fresh air. Together, we explore the quiet courage it takes to be radically honest with yourself, why authenticity is inseparable from self-trust, and how awareness can transform the way you move through the world. Aileen shares her own journey, from feeling lost after college to building a life and business rooted in freedom, creativity, and deep intention. She also opens up about moments of self-doubt, fear, and reinvention along the way. We talk about the seasons when life slows down, how to notice the signs guiding you forward, and the practices that help you return to your truth when you've drifted away from it. If you've been craving permission to live more openly, more bravely, and more you, I hope this conversation helps you remember that honesty always feels like home.
