Gather in Growth

 In today’s episode, I want to share with you 10 questions to kickstart 2025 with purpose and alignment. Whether it’s personal and/or professional growth you’ve experienced, joyful moments you’ll never forget, challenges you had to navigate, or something that has really piqued your curiosity that you’re *finally* giving yourself permission to explore, I want you to take some time, and really sit with each of these questions. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers of course, and you shouldn’t be comparing your answers to anyone else, either!

I hope this exercise is helpful for you, and that it leaves you feeling grounded, centered, and inspired as you open yourself up to blessings in the year ahead.This is the time to reflect, sit in gratitude, and really dream about the possibilities in store for you this year.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why you don’t need January or a Monday to ‘reset’ and change your life
• 10 questions to reflect upon as you ‘turn the chapter’ from 2024 to 2025

Today's guest (and my good friend) Kylie calls herself ‘your farm wife bestie’, but she wears many incredible hats. Like myself, Kylie has been on quite the journey of self-discovery over the last few years. She found herself in a season that felt pretty challenging and downright HARD. Kylie thought she needed to be ‘perfect’ at everything she was doing (sound familiar??), but she quickly realized she was holding herself to unrealistic standards.

In today’s episode, we talk about the concept of ‘grow, hoe, and sow’, and what cultivating joy and authentic living really looks like. As we’re at the beginning of a fresh, new year, this is the time to reflect, and get crystal clear on what intentionality you’re bringing to the year ahead.

I’m so, so grateful for Kylie’s friendship, and to have experienced this transformation over the last few years. I’ve loved watching her ‘follow the fun’, and really give herself permission to continue exploring what lights her up. I hope our conversation encourages you to do the same - it’s never too late to begin cultivating joy and authentic living in YOUR own life, too!

In this episode, we cover:

• Why personal growth is ongoing + so much more than you think (in the best way)
• What happens when we hold ourselves to extremely high expectations and feel that ‘perfection’ is required of us
• Kylie’s ‘Grow, Hoe, Sow’ tool + how you can apply it to your life
• What to do when you feel like you’re ‘stuck’ and need to let go of certain things in your life, but it feels challenging to do so
• Kylie’s journey with Human Design + why learning your unique design & energy type can be life-changing
• Kylie’s upcoming podcast, Boldly Grounded
• Navigating what authentic alignment looks like for you and only you

I personally LOVE the fact that we’re able to change, and try new things, and ultimately, find what really makes us, ‘us’. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be the same person 30 years from now that I am today - I sure hope I’ve evolved since then!

I no longer feel that I need to hold myself back from exploring the depths of myself, just to make myself more ‘palatable’ for society. It's in my human design to continuously be evolving and healing and connecting, and yes..getting outside of my comfort zone.

Maybe you’re in a season of ‘questioning’ too. But maybe you’re struggling with finding the courage to dig deeper, and start expanding in ways you never have before. My encouragement for you today is to just START! Give yourself permission to explore your curiosities and passions, and be open to learning new things that may be unexpected!

It’s time to give yourself the ‘gift’ of reinventing yourself, and start exploring what truly lights you up. I’m doing this with you - let’s start embracing the joy of reinvention together!

In this episode, I cover:

• Why we ‘white-knuckle’ ourselves into certain beliefs & mindsets, without allowing ourselves the ability to explore outside of this
• How I’m giving myself permission to embrace & explore what I’m being drawn to in my current season of life
• Being authentically curious and choosing to pursue what you really want to (instead of what you *think* you should) 
• Why simply having a hobby can be just that, and not something to be monetized

Today’s episode is inspired by something I’ve recently gone through, and have friends currently navigating as well. The idea of ‘creating space’, specifically around big transitions or life changes, comes up often in my masterminds and coaching calls. As a society, we’ve grown accustomed to familiarity, and we feel like we should always know what our ‘next step’ will be.

That’s all good and well, but…what happens when you’re ready for something DIFFERENT? You don’t actually know what that ‘next thing’ is, but you’re craving more purpose, intentionality, and autonomy in your life.

In today’s episode, I want to talk about creating space, taking action, trusting yourself, and exploring the unknown. It can feel sooo scary to step out of your comfort zone - especially when you don’t have it ‘all’ figured out (because of course, you think you need to). It’s like safety and predictability have pretty much gone out the window, right?!

In this episode, I cover:

• Why we seem to think we have it ‘all’ figured out in our society + what happens when we discover we want something different that isn’t ‘safe’ or ‘predictable’
• Realizing your current circumstance that you don’t like will always feel more comfortable than something unknown
• Choosing to trust yourself over logic (even when it feels super scary)
• Understanding that there is no single ‘right’ path + what momentum really means
• Why you can invite your partner onto your journey & ask for their support, but you don’t need their ‘permission’ to pursue your aligned, best life
• The misconception that alignment automatically equals ‘ease’
