The Journey of Peace is Truly an Act of Self-Love

In this episode, I explore how self-love is the foundation of inner peace. True peace is not about avoiding stress or fixing problems—it’s about nurturing a loving relationship with yourself. By embracing self-love, you’ll find lasting peace and healing.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why self-love is more than being your best self; it’s about making choices that reflect love for who you are.
• How unloving choices, like poor health habits or self-criticism, can sabotage your peace.
• Personal examples of how I’ve struggled with self-love and the process of choosing healthier, loving decisions.
• Practical tips for recognizing and shifting unloving behaviors to support your well-being.

True peace comes when we love ourselves deeply, even in the face of life’s challenges. This episode is a reminder that peace begins within.

Reflection Questions:

• What would your life look like if you operated from a place of love?
• What would the world look like if we embraced love as our guiding principle?

Join me on the journey of peace—one loving choice at a time. 🌱

Intuition: Heart vs Brain and How to Tell the Difference

In this episode, we explore the difference between intuition and the rational mind, and why it’s crucial to understand and trust your inner guidance. From distinguishing intuition from anxiety to recognizing how your heart and intuition work together, we dive into how these two forces help guide us toward our highest potential.

Key Takeaways:

• Intuition is a constant whisper, providing loving nudges to help us grow and align with our true self.
• The rational mind relies on logic and reasoning, but it’s important to remember that science has limitations. It doesn’t have all the answers.
• Anxiety often mixes fear with excitement, leading to confusion, while intuition feels like a deep knowing or gut feeling.
• Your intuition is your personal guidance system, helping you navigate life with purpose.
• The difference between intuition and rational thought: intuition is consistent, rooted in emotions, and acts as a compass, while the rational mind uses logic to keep us safe but can keep us small.
• Trusting your intuition requires practice—sometimes it’s about fine-tuning your skills, even if you misinterpret your intuition along the way.

Episode Highlights:

• A personal story about how intuition saved my child’s life and taught me to trust my inner guidance.
• Understanding that there’s no such thing as coincidence—everything in life happens for a reason, guiding you exactly where you need to be.
• How the heart and intuition work together to lead you toward peace and fulfillment.
