š„³ Itās My Birthday! Letās Reflect on Who Weāre Becoming
About this episode
In this personal birthday episode, Iām sharing whatās been guiding me this year and the practices helping me step into my next-level self now, instead of waiting for someday or some arbitrary accomplishment.
And I invite you to reflect alongside me, not on tasks youāve completed, but on who you are becoming.
Every year around my birthday, I find myself asking a few questions:
How am I really doing?
Am I spending my time on what matters most?
Am I becoming the person I want to be?
My birthday falls right in the middle of the year, so it feels like the perfect time for all of us to pause, reflect, and intentionally choose how we want the second half of the year to feel.
In this episode, Iām sharing a few of the intentions I set at the beginning of the year, whatās been working well, where Iāve faltered, and the practices that are helping me feel more connected to myself, my family, and the future Iām creating.
In this episode, I share:
- The intention that has guided nearly every decision Iāve made this year
- What it really means to make choices from your future self
- The behind-the-scenes work of building my new program, Hello, Next-Level You
- Why supporting other women in business feels so important to me right now
- My preferred practice for grounding and sourcing what I need
- How Iām bringing more presence, play, and joy into parenting
- An invitation for you to reflect on where you are and how you want the rest of your year to feelĀ
