What’s up gorgeous soul, today we’re diving into one of the most vital shifts I’ve navigated both personally and professionally: radical responsibility. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how taking full ownership of our lives, businesses, and self-expression can be the ultimate gateway to liberation and impact.

If you’ve ever felt torn between your desire for freedom and the weight of responsibility, you’re not alone. This is the episode for you. I’m sharing the messy, raw, and empowering truths of my journey—from motherhood’s initiation to reimagining leadership where I’ve unf*cked my relationship with the responsibility that my big vision holds. Get ready for some real talk, tangible insights, and a whole lot of love.

Growth isn’t linear; it’s a spiral where lessons resurface, offering deeper transformation.

In today's episode we explore a fascinating and somewhat controversial topic—how your unconscious is the driving force behind getting exactly what you want in life, even the things that you're frustrated by & that you tell yourself that you don't want. I know this might sound a bit wild, but trust me, by the end of this conversation, you'll have a whole new perspective on why your reality is a direct reflection of what you're unconsciously seeking & how you're actually amazing at getting exactly what you want.

In this episode, we're going to uncover the deep, often hidden, layers of our unconscious. I'll share some enlightening stories from my clients and my own life that highlight how our deepest needs and desires shape our reality, often in ways we don't consciously recognize. So, get ready for some powerful insights and breakthroughs that could transform how you approach your goals and dreams.
